PLEASE VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA!!! he is our only hope for the future...if america doesnt vote for barack obama then america seriously has issues!! OBAMA ALL THE WAY>>>OBAMA 08♥♥♥
Has to be the best political speech given in this generation. Obama said what should have been said a long, long time ago. He must become our president this year; we'd be crazy not to.
Yeah, I watched it online, and it doesn't really capture it here. That awesome montgage/video that they had going right before he took the stage built up the moment wonderfully. Then the video fades out, and he's striding onto the stage, 80,000 people are cheering their heads off...
You could tell he was speechless for the first minute.
One of the greatest speeches ever given by a presidential candidate, it will forever go down in history. This man will be in many textbooks, this very video will be hailed as the most intelligent moving speech ever written! Finally an intelligent President who knows what the hell he is doing and what he's talking about! We will change the country and we will change the world!!
I am from scotland and eben i feel like i watched history in the making. Inspirational. Almost the entire rest of the world wants to see this man as president. Lets hope america sees sense and does the same.
For all you Idiots who did not understand how Powerful this Speech was & what a Real President should be like, Than replay this Video until you have some Sense. OBAMA for PRESIDENT 2008!
The new John McCain not only wants to make the Bush tax cuts permanent, but wants to add to them by virtually eliminating estate tax (something that would benefit a tiny number of very rich families, like his own). He also proposes to slash corporation tax. People on middle incomes would see little benefit. Independent analysts agree that Mr McCain's plans would increase an already huge deficit."
I am the biggest cynic in the world. i dont think anything will get better. people suck. but this convention made me think there might just be a ray of hope. as a child of the sixties i have been burned before.
You could punch holes a mile wide in this speech. "I'll cut taxes for 95% of Americans". Yeah, right. "I'll end our dependence on foreign oil". Yeah, right. My particular favorite: "We'll give all Americans the same healthcare that Congress gives itself". You mean guys like Joe Biden? Barack will not give the middle class a tax cut- just like Clinton lied about that in 1992- and the only way to end our "dependence" on foreign oil is to greenlight domestic drilling, something he'll never do.
mccain chose the absolute worst candidate for VP ever. at first mccain's age was not a big deal for most people, but now it IS a valid question. if mccain were to fall ill or die wile in office then we would have the most unqualified person for presidnent. mccain is a terrible candidate and his VP choice is almost as bad as he is.
Well he did say "clean coal" so I'm sure there are pollution considerations built in. And nuclear, yes, produces harmful unusable waste, but maybe we'll see some funding for fusion instead of fission; that would sure be cool. I just did a report on fusion, and its still coming along. Interesting stuff, but its not so much a pipe dream anymore. There are fusion reactors in existance, and plans for the future. Just not the immediate future, But a few more decades at current rates.
fusion's got a way to go, though if you wrote any sort of paper about the subject, you should know why. Still, would be great if that would develop, it's almost a dream energy source. =)
In contrast, fusion requires precisely controlled conditions of temperature, pressure and magnetic field parameters in order to generate net energy. If the reactor were damaged, these parameters would be disrupted and the heat generation in the reactor would rapidly cease.
Some people say (McCain included) that Obama is a really good talker, and that's it. First off, not true. Second, a great leader cannot inspire the confidence of citizens, politicians, and world leaders with outstanding communication skills. That is one of the (many) reasons why W made such a lousy president and one of the (many) reasons McCain would not make a particularly good president.
Well, MAYBE you have a point, but the question is, would a more radical candidate get elected? What the country needs is change, and if someone came alone who promised more change than him but was so radical that he didn't appeal to the masses, what good can be done with an unelectable candidate?
I think Obama has a great balance about him with appeal to nearly everyone. Even people who disagree with a policy or 2 can find themselves overcome by how much they DO agree with. GOBAMA!
I think its silly to put so much hope in one man ( this is true for McCain also ). People are people and wiether you want to admit it or not hes just another politician with a fancy slogan . He wont and cant give you everything hes promised
This man is what the young generation needs. We are what is going to lead the country in five to ten years. We are going to be the middle and high classes that have to deal with the day to day issues that america is going through right now. If we don't fix them now...we are all going to suffer in the future. We the young people have to rally together to get this man as OUR president, Our voice and our future.
Speaking from The Netherlands: I really hope Obama gets elected, because I really believe he can live up to his promises! And please NO mccain, he will keep the USA in the same situation as they are in right now.
Yes we can ! But, only if we change . Change is the way and the only way is to vote for Barack Obama . Because, now ... he's the one offering that change . Now ... he's the one who can show us the way . His hand is out to you . All you have to do is take it .
Obama I hope your truth overshadows the lies, coverups, and corruptions (UFO's,etc) that this country is suffocating from and has further buried itself in because of its past and current puppet regimes.
I hope you're strong enough to fight the few who run the world!
My friends, Obama has just won the hearts the hearts of the Americans enough to now be considered the next president of the United States! I won't lie to you, once the speech was over, my entire family and I got choked up, because this moment is another large step for America, as well as the world.
I wish Obama wins. I dont know what people are thinking when they vote McCain. I mean don't people want low taxes? Who would pay high taxes? There are lots of families suffering out there! Vote OBAMA!
Obama demonstrated to America that he is ready to lead, he has the temperament, the positive attitude, the vision, the ethics, and the courage to correct OUR country.
When McCain introduced his VP choice, he acted like her father (and he looked like it too) by telling her, "whenever you're ready...take your time..." etc. She was like a deer in headlights at first. She even slipped that she will break the ceiling, suggesting that McCain will croak and she will be president--yet she has zero exp.
This is the change . This is the way . And this is the man to show us the way and show us how to change . Barack Obama will win and it will rock shores, mountains, and cities . The world will cheer, when he is the leader we can admire and respect . My vote is clear ... Time for all others to be this clear .
I wonder why the Republican commentators had nothing but praise for this speech? Could it be that the Republicans are themselves divided over their own divisiveness? Thats what happens when you base a platform on inconsistancies, lies and falsehoods. The Republicans do not know when they are coming and when they are going. Barack has a CLEAR statement. THEY ARE GOING FOR GOOD!!
Good for you JasonAlanGraves, this election IS too important to squander, America can't continue down a broken path... From one American to another, you make me proud that you removed your blinders and out this nation first...
..thank you friends from acroos the great pond...keep us in your thoughts and prayers that our nation will get it right this time...YES WE CAN!...SI,SE PUEDE!!...
Obama truly does understand!!!! This man is my hero. His struggles and hard life truly show that with dedication, strength, and perserverance you can succeed in this country. As my family struggles to pay the bills ontime and work 18 hour days i can look towards what that hard work will bring and know that a politician gets it!!
Rarely do we get a chance to be a witness to history, but this week, tonight, we were one family watching our nation fullfill it's dream. A nation always becoming, always perfecting itself, always correcting it's course when needed. I was so proud to be a Democrat tonight but even more, proud to be an American. Obama/Biden 2008!!!
--also, I noticed FOX news was able to spin the perception that it was another tired speech... except for... Bill Krystol? When Bill Krystol is the FOX news guy you look to, to throw an optimistic word in about a Democrat, there is a freakin' problem with the network! Obama, do SOMETHING about the propaganda powerhouses when elected!
This was a fantastic speech. Obama has a vision for America that includes most americans not just the elite and well off. America you have to elect this man, do not continue to have yourself laughed at in the eyes of the world.
Obama is a genius, he forced McCain to pick a no experince running mate. Obama choose Biden, so McCain choose a female to get all the Hiallirites but he had no female to pick from. the only one is Sarah Palin, who has no experince.
Now, McCain cant use the old argument that Obama's not experinced enough to lead because...McCain's runing mate isnt either.
technically Obama didnt force McCain into that choice at all. Conservatives woulda been delighted to have Tim Pawlenty or to a lesser extent, Mitt Romney. This move was all McCain and it shows his stupidity for pickin a running mate who also isnt "experienced" so it isnt genius on Obama's part, its stupidity on McCain's. It wasnt entirely necessary to pick a female to bait Hillary supporters cause a female doesnt guarantee that a large amount of them will be baited at all.
Very good speech. I love what Chris Mathews said: "My critics will get mad at me for saying it was inspiring, but to hell with my critics." Damn straight.
Obama did an amazing job..I had chills throughout his speech and by the end I had tears He was sincere, honest and passionate...He is just the right candidate for ALL of us...Do we want 4 more years of the last 8 years?.... It is time for a change!!!OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA!!!!!
im from the netherlands and i truly hope that obama will be the next american president. Im sure the whole of europa whants obama for president. And for the ones who wonder why we "hate" america. That is not completely true we are only very mistrusted, because america is so great and powerfull (a bit too great and powerfull) Arabian lands "hate" america, because you invaded some lands and sending weapons to other lands in azia. This is a bit annoying, but well-intentioned of your government.
This had to be one of the greatest convention speeches in my lifetime. I turned to my friend and said, "this is a true Frank Capra moment. He's John Doe and Mr. Smith in one person. A real living breathing person." I will vote for Obama because of the issues we mutually believe in. Yet it is a great moment in history to have a person running for office that you can feel a deep connection with. I have a great pride in my candidate. A man to be respected as an individual and as a statesman.
This guy is going to be one of the best things that ever happened to the US. He just seems so genuine and ready to change things. I hope people (especially former Hillary supporters) see through McCain's sad attempt to lure them just because he picked a woman as his running mate. The last time a woman was VP candidate of a major party was over 50 years ago and it was a Democratic ticket. Now out of nowhere McCain picks a woman?? Right after the Clinton-Obama race?? Cmon, its just pathetic.
Thank you so much for this speech! Holding my breath these last months were not in vain. I can exhale NOW. What a relief! Obama and Michelle, I love you guys so much!
OBAMA 2012!

Obama truly does understand!!!! This man is my hero. His struggles and hard life truly show that with dedication, strength, and perserverance you can succeed in this country. As my family struggles to pay the bills ontime and work 18 hour days i can look towards what that hard work will bring and know that a politician gets it!!
OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree I am an independent voter. I looked up McCain's VP she is less experienced than Obama. She is also under investigation by the government.

Rarely do we get a chance to be a witness to history, but this week, tonight, we were one family watching our nation fullfill it's dream. A nation always becoming, always perfecting itself, always correcting it's course when needed. I was so proud to be a Democrat tonight but even more, proud to be an American. Obama/Biden 2008!!!

Excellent speech.
McCain just conceded the elections by picking Palin as his VP, what a RECKLESS choice. Game over.

This year, this week, this night could not be scripted.
The country and the world have changed, not because of what he has done but because of how we now see ourselves.
Come what may, this is a defining moment.

--also, I noticed FOX news was able to spin the perception that it was another tired speech... except for... Bill Krystol? When Bill Krystol is the FOX news guy you look to, to throw an optimistic word in about a Democrat, there is a freakin' problem with the network! Obama, do SOMETHING about the propaganda powerhouses when elected!

This was a fantastic speech. Obama has a vision for America that includes most americans not just the elite and well off. America you have to elect this man, do not continue to have yourself laughed at in the eyes of the world.

Obama is a genius, he forced McCain to pick a no experince running mate. Obama choose Biden, so McCain choose a female to get all the Hiallirites but he had no female to pick from. the only one is Sarah Palin, who has no experince.
Now, McCain cant use the old argument that Obama's not experinced enough to lead because...McCain's runing mate isnt either.
Genius on Obama's part
tra12345iscool 3 years ago 4
technically Obama didnt force McCain into that choice at all. Conservatives woulda been delighted to have Tim Pawlenty or to a lesser extent, Mitt Romney. This move was all McCain and it shows his stupidity for pickin a running mate who also isnt "experienced" so it isnt genius on Obama's part, its stupidity on McCain's. It wasnt entirely necessary to pick a female to bait Hillary supporters cause a female doesnt guarantee that a large amount of them will be baited at all.

He could have picked Kay Bailey Hutchison, a Texas senator who's knowledgeable about the military. I would have understood that choice better.
But alas, no... :)

im from the netherlands and i truly hope that obama will be the next american president. Im sure the whole of europa whants obama for president. And for the ones who wonder why we "hate" america. That is not completely true we are only very mistrusted, because america is so great and powerfull (a bit too great and powerfull) Arabian lands "hate" america, because you invaded some lands and sending weapons to other lands in azia. This is a bit annoying, but well-intentioned of your government.

This had to be one of the greatest convention speeches in my lifetime. I turned to my friend and said, "this is a true Frank Capra moment. He's John Doe and Mr. Smith in one person. A real living breathing person." I will vote for Obama because of the issues we mutually believe in. Yet it is a great moment in history to have a person running for office that you can feel a deep connection with. I have a great pride in my candidate. A man to be respected as an individual and as a statesman.

This guy is going to be one of the best things that ever happened to the US. He just seems so genuine and ready to change things. I hope people (especially former Hillary supporters) see through McCain's sad attempt to lure them just because he picked a woman as his running mate. The last time a woman was VP candidate of a major party was over 50 years ago and it was a Democratic ticket. Now out of nowhere McCain picks a woman?? Right after the Clinton-Obama race?? Cmon, its just pathetic.
