Barack Obama visits Boise

[Jeffersonwazright]

No matter how you feel about him, the fact that this Taco Bell arena was absolutely full and people were turned away is huge- especially in Idaho.

[berrycinnamon]

Yeah Obama!!!

didn't see mccain even bother to show up in idaho

[densor05390]

Lol why would he even bother coming to a state that he already knows hes gonna win?

[densor05390]

wtf? this is the property of WMG?!?!? that cant be right..

[SaturnVII]

Frankly, I don't think that Obama is that bad of a guy. I didn't vote for him, but I like the cabinet he's picked. Not all of them think the way he does and he's still willing to work with them.

[meleahrubino]

this is my school. I'm ashamed this many Idahoans showed up. Goodness.

[SaturnVII]

Barack Obama got 15000 to show up. There are 1 million in Idaho. It's not much of a success. Most likely they're from Blaine County and the liberal parts of Boise.

[cickoros30]

4 OBAMAAAAA!

[liam5895]

idaho is a lot of fun i live in idaho come to boise or nampa both amazing great fun things to do

[jennma04]

ARE YOU DRUNK? There isn't shit to do here in Idaho.

[HZsjever1946]

haha definitely not nampa

[SaturnVII]

You have never been to Idaho apparently. The biggest thing we have in Boise is the Discovery Center.

[yunstarr502]

i want to go to idaho. for a day. never been. seems alright

[jason89]

he also will end giving taxes to senior citizens making less than 50,000. he will also end the lobbyist influence in washington. he will negotatate with NAFTA, in there trading agreements. make more jobs here in america rather than over seas. Give tax breaks to companies working here in the U.S.A

give 4,000 to every college student if they do volunteer work, join forces.

tackle home loan lenders, make stricker laws on them. lower interest rates for those needing help paying for there homes

[LockINC]

i havent herd him say one of these things from his own mouth, plz gice me a video clip or something of when he said this

[draper73]

Can anyone actually tell me one thing that Obama is going to change? I always hear that he's going to change stuff... but I never hear what he's going to do. sure he's got some ideas of things that would be great... but how is he going to achieve these goals?

[jason89]

Go to his website. or just watch the debates

[draper73]

I don't know what happened to my last comment but I have watched his debates and haven't seen anything... the man has no platform! yet the majority of democrats worship the ground that this man walks on! but thank you jason for proving my point that no obama supporter can tell me what obama stands for!

[jason89]

your out of it if you don't know what he stands for. seriously watch the debates. if you want to compare him with hilary. as far as policies go they have alot in common. its the details. for example with her health care plan the government would force everyone to purchase health care, if not they get fined. as far as the war in iraq obama opposed it from the start, hilary did not. obama will end the tax cuts to the wealthest and give to middle class.

[draper73]

are you insane? the wealthy are the only ones who actually pay taxes bud! there are so many refunds to the lower classes because of a progressive tax. and the cuts that the wealthy do receive go to the middle class as it it!!! in the form of JOBS! why are tax cuts such a bad thing anyway?

[jason89]

the bush admin has actually given tax breaks to the wealthest americans. and if you don't know that, thats on you. and no those making less then 70,000 for example don't get enough tax breaks. and its bad to give tax breaks to the upper class because as you know our country is in debt. taking away those tax cuts will help, along with getting out of the war in iraq. you must be a republican right? because hil and obama are the same on that.

[jason89]

and what do you mean that the cuts given to the wealthy go in the form of jobs. that makes no sense?

[draper73]

it makes perfect sense... the wealthy own the businesses and their tax cuts got to the middle classes in the form of employment.

[jason89]

still makes no sense. but as i wrote down before . hopefully i explained Obama's plans as president.

[meleahrubino]

What this person probably means is that if you TAX a business, you increase overhead costs for the business, making it more costly to run a business - which makes it harder to hire employees. Therefore, taxing the businesses - who supply 70% of jobs in American - actually HURTS middle and lower class Americans. It's so simple, yet people aren't smart enough to figure it out.

[bigballers522]

Finally someone who knows how it feels and knows how life is for regular americans.

[utejosh]

Yeah thanks for this!

[eyeluvdogs]

[ProjectKOPEG]

Awesome Speech, very inspirational. I was proud to be one of the 14,000+ people there to witness it. Also it was great to see my 9 year-old's mind fill up with political questions, it sparked a conversation that lasted most the day.

[oldstinkybutt]

GO OBAMA!!!!!

[12meetme]

Boise is mostly Democrat, I am a proud Dem from Boise! Obama 08!

[adreamer100]
