(Part 1/5) Obama's Acceptance Speech at the DNC

[sgilman]

40 years from now, I get to say I was there! I worked my ass off to get tickets to history and it was worth every bead of sweat.

[saturnhexagon]

Regarding McSame, "In a crisis, voters want steady, calm leadership, not easy, misleading answers that will do nothing to help. Mr. McCain is sounding like a candidate searching for a political foil rather than a genuine solution," the editorial also said. "He'll never beat Mr. Obama by running as an angry populist like Al Gore, circa 2000." ~Article in the Wall Street Journal.

[dacandy3000]

amazing...absolutley incredible...

[welloiledmachines]

Well, there could be one good thing about this muslim communist winning, then we could say "The president is near!". (a messege from Gabby Johnson, town of Rock Ridge).

On second thought that's not funny enough, no, there wouldn't be anything good about this muslim liar winning.

[MasterMatt117]

Hes not inlove with himself, hes great. And i cant wait till hes president!

[Cappucinia]

He is so in love with himself

[ladivamtl]

obama is in love with himself???

who is using cheap attacks on him to question his patriotism? McCain

who is saying "country first"? mccain

as if Obama doenst but his country first

but Obama's best quote is this,,

"I respect and honor John McCains accomplisments, even though he tries to deny mine"

[bradder01]

WOW! he looks like the US president already

Can't wait for OBama to be president

Viva Obama

Vivre Obama

[Lex205]

obama is clearly stromger smarter and more honest than maccain.

[skyline81]

Does any one know the name of the intro song he came on stage 2!

[Hobobob10]

City of Blinding Lights by U2

[skyline81]

thanks the rest of the song I didn't like ha ha the intro was pretty cool .

[Prototype41370]

Ted Kennedy..."Spirit of Service"? LOL!!! He must think we're a bunch of fools. Thing dude is a tool for all the shitbags around him...Naive as hell!

[SARARUNS]

he seems genuine. mccain seems like an ignorant and pompous ass.

[citrusmac92]

i agree, McCain is a tool....too old and dumb with no backbone. Hes out to help the rich and have the poor look out for themselves...just like any other repub. Picking Palin was bad too damn shame her speech hit harder than McCain's speech. And to you people throwing the race card crap, grow up thats the problem with USA today wont get anywhere as a nation with that lame shit still goin on. Hate obama if you want but not cause of his color, its 2008 not 1888

[LiBrAChicK9191]

america is ridiculous pulling out the race card..i guess if mccain was black..we wouldnt have no fukin president...grow the fuck up and stop lookin at color u fukin idiots...mccain is a liar as well, a mini bush in the making

[ecuadormexico]

Well If You Vote For This Niggers Your Just Going To Give Black People More Self Confidence & Self Esteem So DONT VOTE Obama!!

His a Liar, Hypocrit & Has No Experience AT All!!

[phillygurl32]

don't be mad wetbacks might one day have their day in the sun. but until then get you're smelly ass back to cutting my lawn. ps. i hear taco bell is hiring.lol.lol.lol.lol

[h3r35j0nnY]

lol, at the start, thank you, thank you so much, thanks, thank you, thank you everybody, thanks thank you! this happens for 2minutes and 53 SECONDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dacandy3000]

say what you will about his politics, but when was the last time we saw someone induce that positive of a reaction from young people. As a father, I am glad my children look up to him, and not Paris Hilton and Tom Cruise.

[nickyandizzysmom]

Obama is a loser!!! He hasn't done one thing with his life that qualifies him for office. He is arrogant and makes me sick when I have to hear him!

[ragethemachine86]

lol and bush was qualified for office? lmfao

[greekdeme777]

I got so emaotional when I saw this. WOW! And the best song of U2.. how could it get any better. Obama and Biden are the true choice for this and have the best voting records as well. Not to mention for seniors, education and health care. Many people will vote republican because they are ignorant. Look at your eyes and openm them, Democrats are more for the people.

I am a proud Christian White Woman who looks at the facts and Obama is the man who cares

[everythingBLUE]

Obama is just another flip flopping no-nothing democrat who can't back up anything he promises. His lack of consistancy and experience really worries me... If people would actually do thier research indifferently , we could all vote smart, and the right guy would be voted into office..... I suppose that's just too much work, isn't it?

[bjones5879]

I love the Lord, however I dispise the Christains. You all are a bunch of fakes!

[hunnyb6]

I respect the fact that after months and months of campaigning, which is a very difficult way of life, that Obama is in the place in his life that he is in. Congratulations, Sen. Barack. However, this man is an ingenuine soul with a distorted self esteem. He compares to a school yard bully who cannot back up his big talk and picks on anyone in his way. I feel sorry for you Sen. Barack, that you have a clouded view of life. Your charming ways are not going to get you elected.

[DustyMaster9]

you pretty much summed everything up, that is word for word exactly what i believe and is the truth.

[william5000forever]

Even though I am a registered republican, I chose to watch this because I am quite interested in what both parties have to say. I am not like most Americans who don't listen but only to their own party.

So I just ask that if you are undecided, to take a look at BOTH speeches and take a look at BOTH viewpoints and standards, and don't vote solely on race or sex.

[ptulip]

He's a good speaker but can he back anything up?

He should be an actor or something. Substance over style....vote McCain.

[bjones5879]

Theres no proof that Maccain can back anything up as well except for the trillions that are being thrown out on Iraq. Maccain is just like that lying ass Bush. I am willing to take a chance on the change that Obama is promising!

[DustyMaster9]

youre a fucking tool. how the fuck can you trust obama. he never answers any questions, he just gets you off topic and talks about something else. hes a fucking moron that only an ignorant prick like yourself could vote for. just tell me one accomplishment obama has made, and being the democratic nomination doesnt count.

[funkygrl67]

if you want people to listen to you, maybe you should try spelling MCCAIN right

[6458522]

SARAH PALIN WILL ECLIPSE MCCAIN! His brain kept alive for advice and tactical reasons he will be our finest leader in the battle for the soul of all humanity. First Palin will destroy The Gay, then smite thine eyes, rendering the Muslim hordes blinded and wiggling, awaiting the ravaging of the christian armies. PALIN. The liberals will be kept alive, for a time, LOADING BODIES and giving into the wills and wanton demands of PALIN. PALIN. PALIN PALIN PALIN PALIN PALIN PALIN PALIN PALIN PALIN!

[tattoo855]

Wow. I guess you are KKK, or maybe Skinhead, or perhaps nazi. You are not what this world needs. You are a thing of the past. Oh and probly a piece of white trash that never got past grade 6.

[6458522]

I am a Christian warrior you panderer, knave, lily livered whore-son!!!I am not KKK, nazi, or a skinhead, I am a true Christian with a rapier of truth, and that rapier of truth is the tongue  of PALIN PALIN PALIN PALIN PALIN !!! SMITE THINE ENEMA!

[tattoo855]

Well I thought that fags like enemas. Do you like enemas. I bet you do. Anywho, you are NOT a Christian and you do not speak truth. True Christians love all men, women, and children as equals. JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED MATTHEW 7:1

[tattoo855]

SMITE THINE ENEMA!!!

[6458522]

You know what I mean! Smite thine enemy. it was a simple mistake! it could have happened to anyone

[bjs030]

"The failed policies of George W. Bush"? Nevermind the do nothing 109th congress that you and your liberal buddies control. Oh wait thats right you have been campaigning for almost half of your career in the U.S. Senate, so you wouldn't know what goes on over there would you Mr. Obama?

[makeroftoys]

Regardless of your ideology, it is impossible to hear this man speak without hearing intelligence, strength and integrity. Reading the caliber of the negative comments, one has to wonder how many of them are tainted by something as simple as the fear of a black man as our President. Sad.

[LiBrAChicK9191]

your absolutely right

[AjaPuppy1]

"thank you, thank you"

what he's really saying: "ENOUGH ALREADY!"

[RichardRoy2]

I only hope he has some degrees in economics.

[sweets8915]

this guy is fucking nuts. he is the most liberal winy loser. he will not win the presidency and there are many, outstanding people who will see to it

[KMagamoll]

it seems like he has a lot more supporters here than mccain did at his acceptance speech...

[bjones5879]

All you liberals should be worried because this is one election where all the blacks of America are going to use their vote!!!!

Obama will prevail!!!!

[gravityroxz]

ily obama. :)

[blackstorm24]

This guys about as qualified to run this country as the celebrity fags who follow him around and powder his nuts. As a President he's about as useless as titties on a bull. Maybe he's qualifed to organize some sort of rally in Chicago, or perhaps with his speaking skills, he can get a job at Toastmasters.......

[edekitrex]

I love a candidate who makes fun of our country and talks shit about it...such a great feeling. Really made me feel proud. We sat on our hand while a city drowned??? Was he talking about himself? Fuck him

[paris0503]

if America needs hope and change...this might be your last chance...

[Sultan1923]

That was some pretty good music during the 1st minute. Anybody know what it is?

[edekitrex]

Probably something written by someone in hollywood who came there to promote their new cd

[Botsbushman]

its by U2 - City of Blinding Lights

[Sultan1923]

Thanks

[TheyTookAnimal]

Partial birth abortion by doctors on government salaries! Fighting inevitable climate change at the expense of our economy! Negotiating with hostile nations without precondition! Providing rights to terrorists to appease the whims of anti-American special interest groups! Finally some change I can believe in!!!!

[edekitrex]

hahah! love it

[simplysteph360]

He just said thank you (so much) 32 times!

[sataf]

This is probably the best speech I have ever heard from a mainstream politician.

[2Hot2Fly2Much]

Obama for President.................

[hobojoe92]

what are they chanting in the beginning?

[JamieLee212]

How did the Democrats promote the convention themes of "One Nation".??????

sr if this question is stupid but please tell me.xD

[jaykwon305]

america does need a change.....we can not endure another president like george bush and thats why mccain scares me. America does need a change and im not sure if obama is that change or not but we need a change for the better. Im hoping obama can do that if he is elected.

[xXOYEWOLEXx]

THATS RIGHT

[stevo12363]

see...even though obamas campaign slogan is "change"..that doesnt mean that mccain doesnt see need for change...those of us that follow politics year long understood long before either of these campaigns started that the direction on several issues would determine the outcome of this election. both of their policy sheets talk about healthcare, energy independence, illegal immigration and the war...just a matter if you want socialist left (obama) or moderate left (mccain)

[GimbleTheWizard]

Someone who can read and speak to "inspire" me isn't quite enough for me to feel someone is qualified to run our country.

Obama is a scam and a fraud.

[Mel1334]

Bush is a scam and a fraud. And that's proven. Not just speculation.

[GimbleTheWizard]

Actually, no, that would be twisting reality. With Bush, as much of a moron he may be, you do know where he stands.

[cheeriobrown]

y do you think that. bush cant talk or do anything for this country but obama can he is whiling to change for the better not b/c someone told him to or just b/c

[GimbleTheWizard]

You mean can't talk as well as you do? :P

As far as doing something for the country, I see plenty done here and plenty done elsewhere for the good of humanity.

Keep in mind, inheriting an economic down turn from the previous President on top of getting hit with 9-11 doesn't quite make it an easy situation.

And Obama is going to change what exactly? There is plenty of possibility for changing for the worse. And that's what I see in Obama.

Personally, I think we need Bob Barr.

[sousderriere]

Stop clapping!His family is so cute. i'M GLAD THAT HE ID MENTION Hilary and I hope that she gets another chance, but I am so glad that it's between Obama and Mccain OBAMA!!!!!

[Brennan75]

i liked obama up until i discovered this:

alot of money a person makes is given to america, and so heres ted, who has to pay 4000 dollars, as thats what he makes. but joe has to pay 4 million dollars because he makes more. obama wants to make it so that ted, who is poorer than joe, has to only pay 2000 dollars while joe now has to pay 8 million. this is by no standards fair.

[kharmonic]

I think you should back yourself up with some information there, joe?

or at least research your standpoint with some sort of professional research?

[sousderriere]

If thats true then it isn't fair, but you can never get a perfect candidate or a perfect solution there will always be a downside, but to me Obama seems the best choice

[cheeriobrown]

y not if he has more money they y not help out more

[lorenwi]

Dude, what you're talking about is called a progressive tax, and has been done by both parties for a very long time.

Is it fair that Ted is poorer than Joe? By your fairness argument, Joe should give enough money to Ted so that they have exactly the same amount. So the heart of Communist ideology, which is the opposite of what you're saying, comes from this same vague and impractical idea of fairness.

[okamimiyazaki]

How many times does he have to say "Thank you"!?

[Jarsniff]

Wow. He dropped 32 thank-you's before he could say anything.

[lilbigman777]

He just dissed on Bush...he HAS to be President lol

[mariaRV2]

obaminama!!!

[virginia50000]

its not funny u stupid its call we need a change

[waterisgood555]

lolwut.

[mikeltod442]

its funny how people that like mccain just dont do their research, or if they have they're just morons hahaha

they both are iffy but if you have half a brain you'd know to go with obama, if you were forced to pick

[bkhoffman]

No comment.......!

[planetslion]

its so funny he keeps trying to settle the crowd down and has to keep saying thank you hahaha

[DStandsForDynasty]

thanks hobo. ive been trying to find this entire speech.
