  • the next jfk

  • Man.. he gives a fantastic speech. But is Barack Obama some kind of messiah? No. Of course not.

    He's just a man.. a brilliant speaker, yes, and a fabulous intellect, but he's still just a guy. Electing him to office is not going to change everything wrong in this country overnight. I'm sure his 4 years will end with quite a few problems still left over. He's right, in this speech--don't wait for him to change it for you. Work for change yourself.

  • watching this in England I get a lump in my throat, you will be lucky to have him as your president and we will be lucky to have him as leader of the free world. I hope change will come about, I hope he will change the world, I hope that America will embrace it's own as the world will surely embrace America. Vote for Barack Obama on November 4th because if I was American I would.

  • I pray and pray, that the american people understand what happens now an elect Barack Obama first for the USA but in realitiy for the whole world.

    He ist the One we need!

  • This video still moves me to tears. wow.

  • This is the speech that made me want to support Barack Obama, it drove me to tears that night, and it's just as powerful now.

    On election night, I want to see how that young lady who cried on super tuesday and tell her that "YES WE DID"

    November 4th will be a great day, because all americans whom value what we are supposed to be about take back what is rightfully ours!

    GOBAMA!

  • how dare anyone compare this guy to JFK or MLK jr.

    do not believe the lies that spew from his mouth. do your research and you will see.

    he will bring this country to more ruin then it has already seen.

    when you choose the lesser of two evils you are still choosing evil.

  • so your talking about the connection to dick cheney..?

    he has admitted that.. he even joked with "yea we tried to hide that for a long time.."

    All laughed.

  • Also.

    What is different from him though , that mlk j did have..?:) or Jfk..?

    I cant see .. They all seemed for change and hope (the feeling not the action,though action follows feeling) so that all are treated equal as one not like enemies or unequals...

    I believe a person who says "We can do it".

    and encourages people

    compared to a person who says "we cant do that" because the focus is entierely on the wrong side of the coin or the wrong coin altogether if you ask me..:P

    !! Love !!

  • wow  how inspiring even for me in australia!!!

  • Yeah I love pipe dreams.

  • we are the ones we've been waiting for! Brilliant so much like JFK it is scary! THANK YOU SEN OBAMA!!!

  • I just imagined, an equal speacher , with equal high volume voice, with equal number of people yelling against obama.. " No we cant " .. amazingly and weirdly funny..

  • MiSter OBAMA, you inspired a lot of people around the world! And thank you for that.

    You proved that if a one works hard he can succeed, no matter how skinny he is and how funny his name sounds.

  • Simply a great speech that makes your spine tingle. Go America go!

  • HAHAHAHAHA.. I wonder what this comment will get.

    Barack..you inspire me!! I wish you were in Canada!!!!

  • Godspeed Senator...

    "May the wind always be at your back,

    and the sun upon your face,

    as the wings of destiny carry you to the Stars."

    You mean so much to so many people.

    God Bless you on your Journey as you help to rally Americans of every race, class, and creed towards a better tomorrow.

    United WE STAND.

    OBAMA '08

  • The white haired lady behind him cries. Whoa.

  • I am from ROmania. and i so wish like my friend from British :) i could vote for him.

    I well have him in my country because we are in NATO and British and more countrys :D. We well have the chance to see him in action.

    Yes... WE .. CAN !! [ my " bush " is the only bush i love ]

  • The flag pin is back on the lapel of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. No, really. Barack Obama speaking in Pennsylvania Tuesday had the famous flag pin back on his chest. You may recall Obama removed the lapel flag pin last fall as something of a gesture of independence if you're an Obama fan -- or an act of defiant antiwar non-patriotism if you're not. \

    Guess I fall in the "not" category. LOL

    Fickle little fella, wouldn't ya say?

  • America is a blessed country,this man is real, he speaks to peoples heart. Even though I am not an American, I beleive him yes we can.He would be the best president America will ever have for decades. Yes we can

  • he's surelly a very smart guy but he ain't wise. 20 years under wrights teachings and mentorship. links to radical Islam and communism. the very US government he so take a part for its support to the previous South African government. If it wasn't for that support we (south africa) would have gone communist and not the powerhouse of Africa like we are today! wake up America. He ain't no wise guy. 20years and he no say he didn't know. Please!

  • Go Bama!

  • This is the only candidate that really believes in hes policy. He's the rising fenix, the healer of the nation, the world. He has more brains then both of the other candidates together. To secure a better future then ever, HE CAN!

    Please vote this guy.

    greetz from Belgium

  • i am british. and i so wish i could vote for him. or have someone the same as him in our country.

    we need to aspire to this man, follow in his footsteps, duplicate his outstanding moral fibre.

    American people, please vote Obama, for barack, for yourselves, for your country.

  • England for Obama!

  • i hope so too... i can't vote cause i'm not old enough... let us both hope that we americans are smart enough to elect him... he will not only lead the united states, but bring the united states and europe closer together

  • We'll do our best. Thanks for the support.

  • The time has come to take our country back. Obama is right- WE are the ones we have been waiting for.

    Help us change our country, folks- Obama in 08

  • Yes We Can. We can fix the world, and heal the nation. We can overcome race, and bring our troops back home. We can giveour students help, so the graduate and help the nation. Yes We Can

    Michael from London

    Michael from London

  • WOW! TRULY INSPIRATIONAL.....

  • Thank God i took my son to see him last year. He can tell his grandkids someday!

  • he is brilliant with out a doubt.

    yes WE can.

  • oh god he is good, He HAS got to be president

  • I feel so honored to be a witness and part of making our own history. It's a new day...

  • "We have officially passed our goal of one million donors -- a remarkable achievement that no one ever thought would be possible."

    Yes We Can!!!

  • "a hymn that will heal this nation, repair this world, and make this time different than all the rest."

    American People, Yes we can! Go for it!

  • When Senator Obama says "Yes We Can"..in ANY language...he is talking about Taking Back our Government...from the Bush-Rich-RNC!!! Yes We Can!!! Si Se Puede!!!

    Realizing The Obama Faith For 08!!!

  • What a great speech. He is the best speaker I have ever seen. I'm from Britain, and wish I coud do more - come on America! Spread the word! WE must make CHANGE happen!

  • He will CHANGE the world, because he always says that he wants to talk to every nation even those bush call them axis of evil(IRAN).

    I might be wrong but I am not optimistic because American people proved in the last 7 years that they choose..........

  • yes we cannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

  • YES WE CAN

  • I love those women with their "Women over 60 for Obama" poster. That was cute.

  • Can you SMEL-L-L-L-L WHAT BARACK IS COOKING????

    Remember old saying..."If it sounds too good to be true..it probably is" His isn't the answer to our problems, but a problem to our country.

  • vote for Obama ...this man who ganna stop the war in every place in this world and safe

  • If you people observe the woman standing in the crowd behind Obama.

    She is moved to tears by Obama. And then another woman puts her arms around her shoulder to support her. The pundits would have divided them into two different groups based on race.

    But in ObamaLand, they are one people, one nation.

    That is the power of this man.Rarely does a leader of his stature rise.

    Barack Obama represents the best of America. His story tells the world,why America is the greatest nation in this world.

  • This man and this movement inspire me as never before. Finally America show signs of returning to its greatness.

  • GO OBAMA!!!

    I can't wait, in seventy years, to tell my grandchildren watching this on TV that I voted for this man.

  • Wow... brings tears to a grown mans eyes... finally someone you can believe in and an America I can be a part of. There is hope and Obama is the person who helps this nation see it and believe in herself. "We are the ones we have been waiting for"!

  • America can be great again, not just in our eyes, but in the eyes of the world.

    Yes we can!

  • I don't know why, but this speech touches my heart.

    So

    Yes, We Can.

    But, we need to go out, the people of this country, and campaign.

    "We are the hope of the future." So let's do this, today.

  • YES WE CAN! Good luck America.

    An italian man.

  • There are multiple solutions to any given problem, and I think America must realize that it is the American people, not the American government, who changes the status quo. Obama has the God given ability to inspire and motivate...and thats what America, and this entire world needs to march foward...No president can change everything by himself, but Obama wants everything in congress to be broadcasted on TV, he wants government transperancy under his administration, he wants US to change America

  • All aboard the Obama express, destination White House.Next stop Texas and Ohio.

    OBAMA08!!!

  • Good video!

  • Good Video!

  • we are the ones we have been waiting 4!...

    C L A S S I C....

  • It is Feb 19th and I'm watching this with the TV on behind me, praying for good results tonight!

    I can't believe how much I need him to win - I just KNOW he is our last hope to reclaim our country!

  • Please Please Please citizens...dont let anybody kill this dream!

  • obama 08

  • hahaha the music lol, intense

  • Now people are criticizing OBama because his supporters are too emotional and caught up in his campaign. Please vote for this man.

  • amazing video

  • "We are the ones, we've been waiting for." Let's do it people.

  • Original

    Brilliant

    Articulate

    Magnificent

    Admirable

    We are on the cusp of something great here, something that will benefit America and the world for ever. Get out and vote, dont let this opportunity slip away. No more Bushes, no more Clintons, no more out of touch old men. America is a great country and Americans are great people who deserve a man like Obama as president.

  • Let's face it, the US economy is in a tailspin. We had ZERO national debt when Bush took office, now we are in a recession and over 9 trillion in debt, all from this war sucking us dry. Terrorists must love that! It's like we are crippling ourselves for them. McCain is just more of the Bush economy. I'm a Republican but voting for a Democrat this year (Obama) because I love America. The US is in trouble. We need change. BTW I support our troops even though I think the war is a bad economic idea.

  • ive been comparing the comments of the different speeches of all the presidential canidate videos on youtube. obamas comments were the most positive. This is because of how he speaks, when he speaks he realy touches peoples hearts and gives them hope. thats something the other presidential canidates dont realy have, and thats why i think hel win the campain. but only because he talks great, doesnt mean hes going to be a great president...

  • Please, vote for Obama, American People!

    We don't want another cold war of sick old men anymore!

    Cheers from Russia

  • Thank you, Russian person! We're working hard to make it happen.

  • Please vote against Putin, Russian people. We don't want another cold war of men getting uranium poisoning at London restaurants.  And yes, vote Obama.

  • We real appreciate, thanks.

  • We will try our best! America wants to be a better part of the world. We really do love peace even if sometimes it doesn't seem like it/ .

  • We will try our best. We want to be better

  • we are the ones we have been waiting for folks ....let make it happen

  • I never believe in anyone,i'm 20 yrs old, and NOW I BELIEVE, He makes me have guzzpumps, i cry everytime i hear him,we nEED that someone,HE'S THE SPECIAL SOMEONE, LIKE A SON OF GOD, I HAVE FAITH,I BELIEVE..I BELIEVE WE CAN ALL COME TOGETHER AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE, YES WE CAN. YES WE CAN, I BEG YOU..FOLLOW YOUR HEART, VOTE OBAMA 08.

  • Amen. Obama is the change we need.

  • YESS!!!!!!!!!

    I wish I could participate!!!

    Im from norway!!!

  • thank you very moving

  • Polls show Obama winning in November against McCain, but they show Hillary losing to McCain. Obama is clearly the stronger candidate. Vote obama!!!!

  • That's because Obama can win Independents and Republicans. He has a broader appeal which will unite this country when he is President.

  • Don't get me wrong I am an obama supporter. But What if they are making us believe that obama has better chance winnig when its acutally hillary.

  • i loooooove this video sooooo freakin much!!! i watch it everyday && get happy-tears each time!! =']]]

    yes we can!

    obama 08'

  • bremen is with you

  • Obama is the future of the United States i believe American would be proud to have such a president.

  • A wise man with great words. Obama for prez! wish him the best of luck

  • God help us if he isn't elected, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Get out and vote for him now, and in november! He is the only one that offers hope, something we've gone without for far too long in this country.

  • yes we can im all for it

  • YES WE CAN

  • omg go obama! I have no doubt he IS president of the united states. You'll see. (:

  • Im not an american but this speech is really inspiring and it brought me into tears. I really hope he will win the democratic nomination and the general election.. Everyone of us should help him because he can't do it alone.

  • I only wish you Americans realize the kind of leadership this man is presenting to you and and the world and I hope you understand his spoken words...!

    May God bless and protect him and his family,

    Muscat, Sultanate of Oman

  • Whatever that may be in the end, his honesty and sincerity touches our hearts and minds and he offers inspiration and vision to lead the nation.

    I pray and hope that the American people understand what this man is saying to them and secure him in the oval office, eventually, it does not matter what happens in the end.

    May God Almighty bless and protect this man and his family.

    Muscat, Sultanate of Oman

  • Obama 08' Obama 12'

    He is a true American hero, and an Inspiration to us All. - McCain says we dare not go down the road the democrats would lead us. Well, I tell you this, I would follow this man to the ends of the world and back, and to those who say he can't win.....

    yes he can. because we can, vote for change, vote for hope, vote for the greatest leader this nation has ever seen.

    Barack Obama! 08!

  • "change will not come if we wait for another person, or if we wait for some other time. we are the ones we've been waiting for. we are the change that we seek."

    thats a killer line that gets chillz up and down my spine!

  • Obama brings with him a clean start, to unwind the mess that bush & Co has made in 8 yrs, and yes it will take time, and yes we can, and yes we will. On 1/09 Obama will make history by placing his right hand on the bible and takes the Oath of the President of These United States, God Bless America, and God It's People.

  • The best part of it all is that someday I will be able to say that I was a part of a movement that brought real change in America.

  • This is a speech Of a True Leader!

  • Here we are finally. An orator with such talent and sensible ideas that transcend the preconceptions of flesh. 'Yes we can'? I disagree. 'We will find out' sounds more reasonable.

  • obama 08

  • Please you Clinton supporters.... dont support her for the sake of supporting her...give Barack a chance to win your heart and minds... give America a chance.

  • obama is making people like martin luther kings smile up in heaven obama is the right man to be president

  • Race means nothing, Change is everything...

    America needs change...

    Let's do it. Be counted...

  • What's great is that whoever wins will be a better speaker than Bush. I mean, even including those who've dropped out and there grandparents. They don't sound like me trying to give a speech, they sound like some one who knows what they are doing. As if it's their job to address a lot of people.

  • YES WE CAN!

  • He can.

    And we can.

  • Man it's a shame to see the views of many ignorant people's minds that are still shackled to the past. We are in the age of a new change, and we need to break free of these shackles so we can move forward, the time of racial preference is behind us and we need to all come together as one.

    For this reason, Obama can count on my vote!

  • obama can't win this with out us at his side.

    We need to volunteer for this man. We need to help him win!

    We are the ones, We've been waiting for !!!

    Yes We Can! HELP!
