As a non-American citizen, he seems like the best man for the job. I don't care about Republicans or Democrats, but you can tell that he is an honest man, which is more than you can say about a lot of other politicians. Americans would be very lucky to have this man as President.

to TavernWenchBlog: Obama wrote this speech himself. He is not only an inspiring speaker but an inspiring writer as well. It is kind of like watching the West Wing come to life! And this is the first time he's given this new speech--it will get even better as he gives it again and again over the next seven days.
@Psulionae17 жыл бұрын
He doesn't necessarily have to bring that up in this speech...he has been campaigning for months. You can find out where he stands by reading his book The Audacity of Hope or by checking out his website or other youtube videos of his speechs. Once you do that you won't be "missing something." I challenge you to do your HW! BARACK 2008!

This is a turning point in American history. This is a precious opportunity to manifest the destiny we've all dreamed America could hold for its people and the world. Inspired leadership is what is needed. God bless you.

Obama is great. His eloquence is superb. From the onset of him announcing his run I felt he was a force to be reckoned with. But I was originally thinking that America wasnt ready for a black President. But this man transcends color barriers - you dont see him as a black man running for President, you see him a great candidate running for president -I wasnt around for MLK but i now feel what people generations ago felt when i see Obama. We are witnessing History in the making.

One argument that is obviously stated against Barack Obama is his lack of experience.

For a lack of better words, in terms of reputation and image, we are suffering abroad. The world, the world, the world has to "Stand for Change."

For me the difference between Obama and any other presidential candidate this year is that you can look at what he says he will do. Edwards, Clinton say that they won't let special interest control them. Obama didn't even accept money from special interest groups when everyone said it couldn't be done. That in itself is an accomplishment that no other political candidate can hold a candle to.

i do agree that obama is quite charismatic. ive listened to many of his speeches, and he repeatedly uses the word hope and change. But I honestly don't see any substance in his speech. All I see is a guy who wants to sound like MLK.... MLK was great as an inspirational figure to drive civil disobedience. But I don't see him as the head of the state implementing solid policies that would actually bring change.

I'm definitely voting for Obama. He's the first politic I can actually agree with. For example, pointing out our dying economy and failing school system. Those are the main problems around where I live. Also, he seems different from previous presidents, almost trustworthy. I just hope he's not all talk like most of our recent presidents have been. Although, he does seem much more like a "people-person" so I doubt that.

Anyone who has 'solutions' this very second for the problems our country faces lives in a dream world. He isn't supposed to have the answers now, but pick the brain of our finest as president to make progress. He knows what the problems are, and he has a track record of solving issues in his own state by severing bi-partisanship and having DIALOGUE. The most important quality in wisdom is being able to listen, and he has the ears and the heart.

Why was this modded down? This comment poses insightful questions that seek an answer. I think that Obama could very well be the right Democrat to nominate. But I will not do so on EMOTION or how he makes me feel after a speech he reads that someone else wrote. I have listened to his speeches, gone through his financial disclosure report and voting records. I have come to the conclusion that he doesn't rock the boat and is a good politician. Don't listen to me.Please do your OWN RESEARCH!
