Transcript:

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.

It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.

  • Like if you're watching in 2012 and you know it was a mistake.

  • @LadiesLover6 "In light of recent events in Libya, Syria, Iran, and Algeria, there is exposed a truth, many have known for over 10 years, and many more are catching onto now – that the “War on Terror” is an absolute fraud, started, fueled and simultaneously fought against by the same handful of corporate-financier interests for the sole purpose of spreading Wall Street and London’s hegemony across the globe".

  • @MOXWELLDIAMOND ME TOO! SADLY, RON PAUL HAS NO GUTS TO SAY IT LIKE IT REALLY IS! HE'LL NEVER BE ELECTED ANYWAY! HE SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT, NOT A REPUBLICAN, NOT A DEMOCRAT - JUST STANDING ALONE FOR FREEDOM! I'M ANGRY THAT HE ISN'T SMART ENOUGH TO DO THAT!

  • @yarrowworks THE U.S. CONGRESS AND OBAMA HAVE NOW REMOVED HABEAS CORPUS RIGHTS from our constitutional rights! If you don't know what that means, it means that The U.S. of America has just become Nazi Germany. legally! Except that it has been done illegally! They removed the rule of law in the Constitution that protected us from government abuse without the required amendment! You can now be jailed & killed by presidential decree with no evidence against you! Your vote is meaningless!

  • @galaxigirl7 THE U.S. CONGRESS AND OBAMA HAVE NOW REMOVED HABEAS CORPUS RIGHTS from our constitutional rights!

  • @Packerd01 I support Ron Paul, but the right wing is fascist. The left is just as bad now, due to ignorance! America has just become Nazi Germany. God fuck us all!

  • @galaxigirl7 WELL - THE U.S. CONGRESS AND OBAMA HAVE NOW REMOVED HABEAS CORPUS RIGHTS from our constitutional rights! If you don't know what that means, it means that The U.S. of America has just become Nazi Germany. legally! Except that it has been done illegally! They removed the rule of law in the Constitution that protected us from government abuse without the required amendment! You can now be jailed & killed by presidential decree with no evidence against you! Your vote is meaningless!

  • @PatrickTX100 Obama is NOT so lucky. He CAN'T screw up all he wants but in the end he SHOULD BE ABLE TO blame Bush for SOME OF THE DIFFICULTIES FACED IN THIS PRESIDENCY

  • @jcbluze if no one voted, they would do whatever the fuck they want.

    i can absolutely not advocate not to vote. i know you feel hopeless if u think your candidates are hopeless, but in the end you're only sacrificing your own right as an american citizen and not affecting the candidates in any way if u don't vote. Congress would just vote among its members and elect the winner, & then sooner or later some idiot would propose to repeal citizens' right to vote.

  • ... hold both him and Congress responsible for the diminution or demolition of his ideas.
