Barack Obama in Wallingford, PA

[PszMan19063]

omg no one has commented for 3 years!

[mikeharel]

did someone win penssylvania yet

[riwired]

America needs someone like Barack. Someone who will unite us, not divide us, and lower himself with scare tactics like the Clinton campaign has done. We are sick of it. Democrats unite. Take back the White house! Obama 2008!

[blkbrt]

And if you elect me... I will outlaw all homework assignments. Pizza will be served for hot lunch all week long. And gym will no longer be a mandatory subject. Rah rah rah shish boom bah!!!

[nebaioth]

The only people voting for Hillary Clinton are women!

The don't care that Hillary has run a "piss poor" campaign, that has been desperate, disorganized, and at times even bankrupt!

They still want Hillary to run the country, despite her incredibly poor management because she is a woman!

These same "women"/Hillary supporters were mad at CHEATING Bill Clinton, but now support Hillary Clinton - an even BIGGER LIAR THAN HER HUSBAND!

White Males for Obama '08!

[Acronym77]

Watch out....

[kathleen2012]

the republicans are banking on you electing this speech man for the dem nom. Obama doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground. Truth is, Nobody is going to have a black man running this country! All the dems I know will vote for a republican before they will vote for some stupid speech making black man. If Clinton is the nominee, all dems will vote for her! It's that simple. The republicans HOPE Obama will win the dem nom!

[nebaioth]

DON'T BE THE NEXT SUCKERS ON LYING HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN HIT-LIST PENNSYLVANIANS!

Ohio-ans are still angry that they were suckered into believing that Hillary opposed NAFTA, when her 1st Lady Papers now prove she SUPPORTED NAFTA.

If you think the economy sucks now, let Hillary or McCain win....we'll all be eating out of trash cans!

Obama '08!

[RainingStormRaven789]

oh i wish i was there to actually see the whole thing, but i'm only a freshman at strath haven...

But Obama is the man! I really hope he wins. It shall be a Obama-NATION! And I mean in a good way...abomination=bad Obama-nation=GOOD

If he doesn't win...

i'll leave that unsaid.

[Thesouthman]

GREAT! OBAMA '08!!!

[tigerakabj]

Great education video. Also, watch him in Beaumont, TX. Amazing video, especially towards the end. Obama 2008!

[kamkiidd]

he seems cool as shit...not bob marley cool,but coo'

[msdingy]

The best way to teach children is through the arts: it is a universal language, inspires the highest levels of thinking, encourages mathematics, and speaks to our common humanity. Kids who participate in music groups must cooperate, have self-discipline, and persevere. The arts have helped give meaning and purpose to many children who simply aren't successful in other academic areas. Replace NCLB and support Arts Education and OBAMA!

[whizkidforte]

Well said, mate!

[JuniorVX]

He only touched the surface of what's wrong with our schools and the people that can tell you the most are people who just got out of school or high school and I can tell you high teaches you nothing about life or being grown, they tell you but they are not teaching you.

[6minus3minus2]

I share Senator Obama's feelings about the arts. It can truly help bring us together and understand one another. I've never seen a more diverse group of races, classes, shapes, sizes and ages in my hometown of Detroit, than at The Detroit Institute of Arts. It was really inspiring for me to see how powerful art can be in brining people together.

[Darkcloud2218]

The only class I remember from my whole school career that I came out with the feeling I actually learned something was choir. I learned not only how to read and sing music, but how to get along with many people from many different groups. The only class I remember having where the students came in ready and willing to listen and learn to the teacher. I miss her honestly, and wish more of my teachers were like that.

[kevludlow]

3:13 - He was apparently speaking in Scranton.

I hope Dwight had some good questions for him.

[G504]

I whole heartedly agree. If we teach kids the analytical skills necessary to recognize high art, then at in turn will mean our more talented singers, painters, and actors will also be the most popular. Not THERE'S a novel idea!

[ShannonSBailey]

OBAMA ALL DAY

[sweetwendelina]

I am so overwhelmed, surprised, and delighted to find this speech on Arts in Education. I am a musician, and Teaching Artist. I can't believe that we have a presidential candidate actually understands the importance of the arts, and supports it! I really pray that he will be elected and that he will be able to achieve everything that he has said to the American people that he would do. Go OBAMA!!!

[pratiksaha]

Go Obama !

[pratiksaha]

Go Obama !

[brokeneckgiraffe]

Obama is the only candidate that can actually have an impact on congress and pass bills that matter. check his senatorial record and compare to clinton and mccain. thomas(dot)gov does not lie

[twhiteley]

This man is an inspiration... even to those of us outside of the US.

[Joanne25339]

Is it November yet, I can't wait for him to be president.

[hermes369]

Arts funding has been on the chopping block well before "No Child Left Underfunded." Probably before Johnson created the NEA, especially since Maplethorpe and Serrano exercised Republicans in the 80's, the arts have been demonized and left to flounder. I pray Mr. Obama receives the nomination and once again we can be a great society; he has my vote.

[pingish]

I note that he didn't say government and the study of the Constitution. I find it hard to believe he used to be a Constitutional lawyer. The Constitution doesn't give the Federal government the power to regulate education.

[dhectorg]

this segment of the speech was specifically about the arts. anyone who has followed obama's campaign knows that he has always been a proponent of civics education. he has stated so many times in debates and speeches. i wish people cared enough to get informed before they post comments. that would prevent a lot of misinformation from breeding.

also, the gov't the isn't constitutionally sound in most of what it does and yet it does it anyway. i suspect that this will continue to be the case.

[MinnieB1]

Barack Obama really does get it! He gets what America needs to be great, he gets what America needs to shine!

Everyone who cares about America's future needs to support and vote for this brilliant man! He gets it! that is a rarety in politics!

Go Barack Obama!

[ladyinwashington]

Yes, he gets it - he talks about REAL THINGS and not in stupid sound bites. How lucky we are that this man is interested in being our

resident. Vote for what is great about America and vote for ALL OF US by voting for Barack Obama!

[MountAthos]

Obama took his family to racial hate rallies for 20 years. Listened to a preacher that chanted "god dam america" over and over right after 9/11, who taught that AIDS was invented by white people to kill blacks. I think people don't understand what they are getting with this smooth talker.

[politicalfarce]

You're so full of it. Did you even watch ONE Wright sermon in full? This man was in the navy and Marines for years, preached for 3 decades, helped thousands of people, and even Bill Clinton respected him so much he invited him to the White house. And yet you base your opinion of him on a 30 sec soundbite Fox kept looping. And find Obama guilty by association, when McCain is buddies with Rev Hagee who thinks gay people caused 9-11 and Clinton's former pastor is in jail for raping a child! WAKE UP

[MadBam163]

I was at this event and he really is an amazing public speaker. He also made some interesting and new points about Iraq, healthcare, and how to revitalize American cities. I honestly don't agree with several of his policies but I'd vote for him -- he really is the best candidate.

[pingish]

Great. Let's vote for this guy because he speaks well. What about his policy?

[kyoko703]

We need more people like MadBam163. Not people that agree, but people who disagree. Stand up, and feeling free to express their disagreements, and with Obama, your concerns will be heard.

[laurenfolk]

OMGGGG I WAS THEREEEEEEE

[nebaioth]

Thank God there is someone this UNITING that is still in politics, and able to help all people!

[thugminican]

wow! in Robert Kiyosaki Finanacial IQ book he talks about how schools focus on the Left Brain linguistic-logical/Mathematics and shun the OTHER Right brain intelligences. This left brain thinking has virtually dominated scociety and created the problems we have now. The arts which are Right brained helps us in the creativity needed to solve these problems. This guy is sharp!

[saturnhexagon]

Obama cares about our children. Please support this great man, for our sake and our children's sake. Obama '08

[rand0minteg3r]

This guy will change the world...

[macpeteri]

obama is world wide choice everyone in tanzania east africa vote for obama if the world can say soo.

[AllaFan]

I keep hearing that he's just a good speaker.

But, everything he says is exactly what I have been feeling and thinking for a long time now. How can I just be one of a string of white ppl falling for his charm?

I am a bigot. I'm sorry but thats how I was raised, but with this guy, I cant see race... all I see is President.

Even if he doesnt win... I feel strongly that he has helped changed my values. I swear... lately I have been looking at ppl in a very different way... As Americans!

[mackenzienellis]

Our president.

[Seanmonkey007]

I Agree Obama is the best 1 for the job look up The Barack Obama song its funny
