[ntwrightsmom]

Thanx for the political bullshit. By the way, Stipe, you were flat!

[Devinodell]

do you expect for him to have perfect pitch 100% of the time

geez you must have supported mccain.Go OBAMA

[astaweb]

I've never been prouder to be an American. I love President Obama!

[mangokitty]

And the whole world cheers!

Thank you President Obama. Thank you REM.

[BlameItOnThePenguin]

Haha!! remember on election night after knowing Obama won and being a big rem fan and knowing Stipe endorsed him, I was wondering how he was feeling about joyous victory!!~ Now I know!~

Keep it real!! Penguin gurl :)

[Jamesamite]

Rejoice everyone, REM is playing Barack Obama is President! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Jesus!!

[bunlandia]

the whole world is happy.

i've been out some, and people are just randomly saying/shouting/yelling/exudin­g "OBAMA!"

amazing

too bad you weren't in NYC for this one, Michael!!!!

(we were all afraid it was gonna get stolen, weren't we? but yeah, it's really true)

[cleophee69]

Very great video! Obama President!Thank you for all you've done for Him.

Michael you are so nice,lovely and happy in the arms of Bertis...very touching moment.

Funny the guys on stage !

[punkrock4me]

Wow, Michael Stripes voice is breathtaking. I've loved Rem since I was twelve lol

As a Briton its very comforting to know that the Whitehouse id no longer run by a madman. :)

[camarin]

I love REm since i was twelve too, and beacuase of obama they played my favorite "repertorio"....

november 3rd "these days"

[rubencho101001]

Porque aunque guste o no, todos de alguna manera dependemos de Norteamerica.

[cocalero]

Why should us South Americans would care whose the next US president?

[sddallas]

you must be a moron

[cocalero]

I wonder if you care who's my country's president...

[chilum57]

Excellent !!!

Viens en France lors des elections de 2012... ;)

[titimalu]

Yo estube ahí, en vivo y en directo

lo mejor R.E.M.!!!!

[isisaavedra]

que envidia, aunque fui el lunes

[DreamerM]

btw:

It's probably just Bias, but Micheal Stipe sang "I Believe" I think that might be the best his voice has ever sounded, EVER. :)

[DreamerM]

If I'd have seen this that night, I would have been wailing "NOOOOO Don't jinx it! It's not official yet! SOMETHING COULD STILL GO WRONG!"

But knowing what I know, I'll just enjoy the celebration, which R.E.M expresses in music better then my words ever could.

[ffrmusicwench]

Great song for a great night and a great announcement!

[teninptu]

Grande el PAMPA

[kudzu808]

GREAT!!!!!

Congratulations

[everythingafter]

Perfect song for election night.

[dmoath]

let's bring down the political boundries and make Obama our World President, what about that :)

[JonBerghausen]

Hell yeah, President Obama! Absolutely amazing, my favorite band since I was 9! I can't even imagine what it must have been like to have been there!

[nachaureta33]

I love R.E.M. and Obama !!

[JavelinNL]

Great for the US.. hopefully that Obama will restore the foreign policy with Europa and the rest of the world. And also thanks for R.E.M. for being 'rich' but still voting for people who aren't that well-founded.

If R.E.M. were assholes they would've voted for the republicans and for themselves. They chose not to.

[dKmps]

Come back to Chile soon! =P

[parrinfla]

fantastic.. the history of the world-- in chile XD

[funkydafunker]

God Bless AmeREMica !!

[thomasissacadamson]

God bless R.E.M. I mean this in the nicest way, they sound like a garage band on stage. Wish we had more like 'em these days.

[musicbrain5]

Wow this is amazing! The song is so appropriate, it fits so well with the situation! It's great that the band have always been openly Democratic (a brave move since they're from GA - I lived in Athens for a couple of years but came back here a couple of years ago), I think they will now see the real benefits of supporting Obama, since he is now PRESIDENT! I'm Canadian, but I appreciate the fact that my American counterparts finally realized that it was time for a change. BARACK OBAMA '08!!!!

[wildcatbungalo]

Barack Obama '12!

[musicbrain5]

YES!!!!!

[Kie77]

I wish I was there. I was at the Twickenham leg and they were superb as ever. The new tracks work really well live and it's always great to hear some old classics.

Well done America for finally voting in a decent man as president - about bloody time :)

[melora72]

Who are the other people on stage with REM?

[gardeniaaa]

[pbelloa]
