Barack Obama at the 2008 DNC

[@cappy95833]

I can't understand why there hasn't been a comment yet... Anyway, I saw this speech live and here on KZbin. I don't care who you are, this man is a man who is presidential. There are only a hand full of presidents that can take the words off the page in a manner that is truly amazing and he can do that. I don't know if he writes his own speeches, but they are world class. And that is what we need a world class president. He can convey the American sprit to the world like no one else can.

[@jamesbarber4]

OMG, I'm the first person to comment on this video. Obama you were simply amazing. I sat down with my grandmother for 45minutes watching this historic speech. He is simply the best orator I have seen in a long time and deserves to be Americas next president!

[@Matt0028]

Barack Obama said "thank you" or some variant thereof 31½ times at the beginning of this speech. Count it.

[@dadragonpup]

I think a friend said it best, "This speech left me speechless."

[@roosvelt1984]

'Thank you, thank you so much, thank you, thank you'... NOT READY!!!

[@bealou42]

Dear Future President, You have already made history by accepting this nomination. You now embark on a unchartered path and I hope that you will continue to make history by not letting those who support you down. Godspeed and I hope to wake up on November 5th with a feeling of hope and prosperity rather than dread for my country's future.

[@cdawg3712]

If he is going to run the country the way he has run his campaign, OMG, the future looks incredibly bright! Tears, Tears, and more Tears last night!This was by far the best thing I've ever witnessed or seen in my life time! Thank God for this Bro!

[@hostage72]

I am so grateful that I am alive to see and hear President Obama. I wish that my grandfathers had lived to see this, as well as Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King. November can't get here soon enough, and I have such great hope for the future. :D

[@pearse76]

One of the best speeches I have ever heard, bar none. And the best moment is when he said "ENOUGH!"

[@agilulfone]

All I can say is that I am grateful to be alive today and be able to witness such a historic moment.

[@phoogoo]

This is the best speech I have seen Barack give so far. He laid out his whole plan, rebutted every criticism leveled at him, highlighted the tremendous importance of this election and the issues we face, went straight at John McCain and did it all in a way that inspired anyone who watched it...even some of the most right wing bobble heads on TV were impressed. If you missed it last night, I implore you to watch the entire speech, turn up the surround sound. GOBAMA!

[@MichelleJ79]

I was in awe last night. Barack you brought the house down! Hyde Park stand up! We're taking this all them way! I love you, Barack!!

[@jrock714]

Possibly the single most amazing & inspirational moment in my life.

[@maame85]

He was amazing last night....i was so touch at the end of the speech!! Yes you can

[@dharmaother]

I've watched this SO many times!

[@nick102890]

This speech was truly inspiring. It was amazing. Obama '08

[@jonahsahn]

Yes we can! We betta, after all he's been through.

[@lp4ju]

I had tears in my eyes, because this speech I know it might sound cliche but gave me HOPE...I have hope that my future will be a good one

[@languagedoctor]

This was a speech for the ages. In addition to being extremely articulate, he acknowledged the tremendous contribution of colleagues and explained how we as Americans must work together for the good of everyone through mutual responsibility and humanitarian concern. We, as a human race, can be extremely proud to have this remarkable human being among us, who has the insight and wisdom to guide us what will hopefully be the next eight years. Let's be thankful for this remarkable opportunity.

[@daveof59]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I live in England so watching your speeches live i have to be up at 3 in the morning. Thankfully my new baby wakes me up. 2 things that inspire me. I love it. Great speech.

[@sgilman]

I was there! I am forever greatful to Obama for moving the speech to Mile High, so us regular folks could be a part of history!

[@BryanStars]

Obama!!! What an incredible speech! I am so proud to call myself a Democrat and supporter of Barack Obama. It's almost too good to be true. Let's take our country back! Obama 2008

[@grokkvondenhorbs]

Great Speech by a great candidate. Wish you the best of luck!

[@gordyt99]

Fifty years from now, this speech will still rate right up there with MLK's "I have a dream" one.

[@goraddy]

we are driving down from Toronto to help the campaign. This was off da HOOK. Good job!

[@endingparalysis]

that was brilliant, it made me cry.

[@goingforthegold]

amazing. i cried multiple times.

[@TybaltFrye]

I believe in you, please don't let us down.

[@goldelox34]

Perfect, beautiful, inspiring...exactly what I (as an independent) needed to hear.

[@djchuckc]

after hearing this i feel like my future is secured.

[@LuckiiCharmz85]

I absolutely LOVED his speech and am so thankful that I got to witness the event. A++++++++

[@finally0726]

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!

[@StanK27]

That speech kicked ass! I was glued to the TV until the very end!

[@ladybori2]

I had lost hope in this country until I watched this speech. As I listened to each line being delivered I was amazed at how much his views reflect my own. I believe in him and I believe in change. So on Nov. 4th let's do our part to bring about change. Yes We Can because Eight Is Enough!!!!

[@ruckty]

Brilliant! Just had to watch it again.

[@Colonelorange]

Simply....whoa. To say your not moved by this would simple be crazy. A truely elegant yet strong speach...

[@nohassel]

Inspiring stuff. I'm from Europe and it's great to hear a passionate politician. The hair's on the back of my neck really stood on end at the close.

[@livevegan]

Great speech and the bio vid prior to his speech was very good as well. Very moving.

[@typhonsentra]

So glad I got to see this live. Fantastic speech.

[@TheonenonlyRMD]

This left me speechless....absolutely amazing!!

[@HWLPoonjaPapaji]

I feel honoured to have personally witnessed this historic moment. Moved to the core.. Obama is a leader that combines softness and resolve, wisdom and compassion. A blessing to the world.

[@kingivor]

Absolutely amazing.

[@woodgate1234]

great speech, only problem i have with this video is it doesn't show 85,000 people that place was amazing, but thanks for posting it so soon

[@NivekNhoj]

I've often been a proud American, and I've occasionally been a hopeful American, this video leaves me more proud and more hopeful than I can ever recall.

[@CabinetSquirrel]

such an amazing speech. Barack hit all the right points, taking aim directly at the negative tactics used by McCain. I felt like my heart was going to leap out of my chest while I watched this live. This is history, and we are living it now.

[@indirajane]

Incredible. Thank you so much.

[@inherownwrite]

Spot on! We cannot go on as a country with our heads held high without the wisdom, courage, strength and leadership of this fine man.

[@slick1hit]

one of the best speeches i ever heard in my life

[@jothi2005]

Very inspiring. Let be light and love be with you and people around you. Sri Aurobindonian

[@explicating]

i was in tears..

[@spaceace510]

YES!! I am 100% behind you!!

[@gunxgirl]

This speech brought tears to my eyes... Powerful and inspiring!

[@byost]

This man is a man...Man of passion and compassion...Someone who cares and has truthful words that he not only speaks to get elected but believes in what he says.

[@FunsongsCoUkaction_songs]

What a speech, what a guy! Totally riveting and compelling.

[@trommelbiel]

I did not sleep last night until 5:00 am becuase of this man. I needed to listen to this man speak even from far away Germany.

[@MJordan1990]

This is what inspires me to continue my quest at helping my country....Barack Obama is my hero. He fought back and used the opposition's words against them...as a debater and public speaker, I LOVED how beautifully weaved this factual yet inspirational speech President Obama put together. Obama, you are in my prayers and for the first time, I see what it means to love my leader. Thanks.

[@xxSmilezxx]

Everyone remember this moment for this a moment to remember. Thank you Barack. Obama 08!

[@agui1234]

this is one of the most amazing speech i've heard in my live. i think we will need many years to repeate this moment, like it was. Gob bless Obama, Gob Bless the World.

[@metromozg]

This was a truly great speech. If I hadn't recognized some wordings from "The Audacity of Hope", I would almost have thought that Aaron Sorkin wrote it.

[@sharpsusan]

This speech gave me chills. Another truly brilliant piece of oratory from Barack Obama. I cannot wait to hear his State of the Union addresses!

[@dansilva17]

MY favorite part where I even felt like standing up and shouting was when he said, "Eight is ENOUGH!"

[@manofmystery24]

simply amazing. i believe that this will be the "great speech" of our time.

[@Coldkilla9]

Man the intro would have been a nice starting point - it gets the point that much further across. That introduction video with his entrance sold me into voting for him.

[@yoshi542]

Truly an amazing speech. Nice to see him finally fight back against McCain.

[@Sehoy1]

Oh man, I cried all through it. I've been crying all week! Michelle's mother started it, and then Bo, and the second Barack said "I accept" - I lost it again. ALL are happy tears! I'm in love with the whole family, and Joe Biden is so likeable, and terrific on the issues.... it's just a perfect team. I can't wait to do my weekly voter registrations on Mon & Tues!

[@feinix73]

Amazing speech, and a wonderful moment in history, I believe he can deliver, the constant in life is change, and prayerfully it is a change for the moment.

[@poetryspoken]

I am so thankful that I was able to witness history!

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.

[@nmcil]

You have the singular honor of being his First You Tube voice as part of the DNC Obama Grand Moment - Good On You. I loved his speech and all that he stands for - loved his reference to "fear and smear" - I pray that this henchmen political tactics will not bring a shameful victory to the Republicans like they did against Kerry.

[@LanakilaIesu]

Obama and Biden have a lot of work ahead of them setting things right in the United States, and personally I haven't seen anybody who I believe is more thoroughly ready to succeed in the challenge. Bless both of them!

[@ravman]

BARACK...... Speechless.

[@FreakshowLee]

Magical. Absolutely astounding.

[@HSfox]

amazing speech!!!

[@chrisw443]

simply amazing

[@WinstonRed]

2 minutes and 42 seconds of straight applause. this is wonderful.

[@IndoKochers]

Just an amazing speech, given by an amazing candidate. We must elect this intelligent, decent, humble man. He is an embodiment of the American dream.

[@RacquelDozier]

I thouroughly enjoyed listening to his speech. I believe he is the change that America needs.

[@xseasoninreverse]

This speech brought me to tears. I am so proud to know that there is someone running that acutally cares about the American people. Obama/Biden 08!

[@unchainedmelody67]

Stunningly competent! Such a contrast to what we're used to. Even the critics like Buchanan were super-impressed. Obama/Biden is the kind of talented team that comes along once in several generations if we're lucky. And at this moment, we really need them... "Enough!", is right! God bless 'em.

[@killshin]

I LOVE this speech. I almost cried at the end. This is the person we need in the White House.

[@Xone7]

I have never been as proud as I am right now. Proud of Barack Obama, proud of America.

[@nyadney]

I wish I could have been there. That speech was amazing.

[@jeffsec]

This was the greatest political speech I have heard so far in my lifetime.

[@Vitaminbooya]

Absolutely Stunning

[@mellowyllw99]

What a classy and extraordinary speech. I feel like this is a moment to remember forever.

[@beazzy10]

a beautiful and well articulated speech that leaves one with the sense of hope and promise obama~biden '08

[@funkalunatic]

Holy crap I hope there were a lot of people watching this speech.

[@Nightwatcher1982]

The intro music is City of Blinding Lights, by U2

[@awkwardpictures]

What an amazing speech.

[@Skatin24z2]

Mann I was touched by this speech...EVERYTHING he said is a 100% true and I believe in him. He would be the best thing that could happen to this country. He has my VOTE!!

[@doriangrey64]

this was great. did feel a little sorry for how many times Barack had to say "thak you" but i guess people love him that much. Yes We Can!!!!

[@openbuddhistforuminternational]

OM SVASTI We appreciate Mr. Obama´s speech about individual & mutual responsibility. It relates to Buddhist teaching about interdependency and noble ideal of Bodhisattva. LET US CHANGE ALL NOBLE DREAMS INTO INDESTRUCTIBLE REALITY FOR EVERYONE. May all NOBLE and MEANINGFUL INCREASE. And KEEP BARACK OBAMA´S PROMISSE A-LIVE ! With full support: OM MANI PADME HUM SHRI

[@classyjane]

Barack Obama...if you aren't elected president I am truly afraid to think about what our country will look like after 4 more years of this. This speech inspired me, and will serve as an example to those who wish to bring change to our country.

[@proudcarolinagirl25]

4 more years!!!

[@ebote10]

lack words 2 express how i feel

[@gregrexx]

incredible. i can't wait to vote for this man.

[@SilverlineNL]

What an amazing speaker and inspiring leader. I'm so sad not to be able to vote for him. I wish I was an American and have the chance to be part of this turningpoint in history by electing Obama as the president of the USA! Greetzzz from the Netherlands!

[@denisemtzalanis]

Am i the only one that gets goosebumps every time he speaks?

[@idid2cu]

That's what I am talking about. Barack you did it, knocked it right out of the ballpark. You were practically in McCain face with a knock out and proved to the world that Yes We Can take our country back. I approve this message.
