Senator Marco Rubio's Maiden Floor Speech

[@bossross209]

truly this speech has moved me and restored some of my faith left in politicians I'd vote for Rubio in a heart beat. I hope Marco has a long and fruitful career in his future.

[@dlhiles]

Wow!!! That made my heart swell with pride - for my Senator, for my America!!!

[@ortml99]

Hello Marco, I am also a hispanic who worked many years as an Electrical Engineering Tech in electric power distribution for a major utility in New York State and who has retired in the Central Florida area. I am delighted to see a hispanic rise to the post of Senator in our state. Congratulations on your accomplishment and may God guide you throughout your endeavors both inside and outside of government. I hope that America can rebound from its current deficit and remain a world leader!!

[@MiriamDopico]

America needs more Patriotic politician like Senator Rubio!!!

[@sradie]

There is a hope displayed in Marco's speech that is inspiring. It is up to us in the next election to make wise choices if we will ourselves to once again be great and a leader for freedom in the world.

[@kim3969]

Marco Rubio has never lost sight or voice for what is most important to our nation -- to all of us as Americans. His ability to articulate and, hopefully, motivate us all is his greatest gift. I am so proud of this fine American miracle, this wonderful United States Senator. Kimberly Mitchell West Palm Beach, FL

[@Suz4Rubio]

Aside from the absolute patriotism, graciousness and class displayed by MY SENATOR - and it makes me SO PROUD to be able to say that - did anyone notice that he can do this without a teleprompter? I love this guy! Practice saying it with me: "President Rubio."

[@jpav0923]

This is just an incredibly patriotic speech. The fact the the son of two Cuban immigrants could be where he is is testament to the greatness of America. Marco clearly understands this. Marco's love for America comes through very clearly. I wish more elected officials could see America as Marco does.

[@robhconley]

Senator Rubio understands who America was, is and will be. How inspiring!! He can lead the country as far I'm concerned, and I'm concerned a lot more than I ever have been. We must save our country, our liberty and our freedom to grow businesses again, please get informed and support, indorse and vote for any true constitutional Conservative like Senator Rubio.

[@Paramorefan298]

Yes I am witness our next president...Thank you Marco for commitment and love to our Couintry. I was born in Cuba, but most of my adult life I spend in the United of America...My husband,my children & grandchildren Country and mine Country too...We are blessed to have you representing our State of Florida, we supported you before and we are still here for you when ever you call for our help! God Bless!

[@Garbo630]

I had to come to youtube to search for this speech. There is no doubt that this man loves this country and totally gets what makes America the great nation she has been, and that is the "unleashing" of the American people. Get your experience FAST Marco, we need you!

[@dliebs98]

How could you dislike this video? I am truly inspired.

[@TheJedikai]

Applause!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NextSundance]

A senator is not a leader but a representative of his polity. He comes from a strong background and his ideals are admirable, and I appreciate his passion. However, I'm not sure that I strictly agree with his ideas for policy.

[@TheBaglady2]

WOW. Now THIS is what an American President should be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone who has pride and belief in this country and it's people, not one who apologizes for us.

[@AndySantanaBand]

At a time where nearly all politicians democrat or republican, speak with empty words and promises, I find hope in Senator Rubio's words. Unjaded by years, in an enviroment that ALWAYS takes its toll, he is an inspiration. I pray with all I have that he is guided by all that is good and that all good things come to him. Thank you for giving me hope that there are still capable leaders out there!

[@BlackRepublican2010]

How could anyone not like this speech!

[@taangsianpu]

To conquer everyone among the competitors is to make the best and maximum use of Social Networking and the Internet Media. I'm glad you're done this and please continue to do so...

[@denimnmore]

Thank you Senator Marco Rubio for an inspirational speech worthy of a nation sitting up and taking notice that you are a force to be reckoned with and on your way to being a future President! Go Marco Rubio!!!

[@wmjsarah]

All I can say is... the people of Florida did a fantastic job in 2010 when they elected Allen West & Marco Rubio. Thank you so much for your patriotism Senator Rubio. It is appreciated beyond what words can say.

[@JohnStockdell]

I'm liking this guy!!! Keep it up Marco!!!

[@mkay0502]

This is the first of many great speeches.

[@StevenKuhnII]

As a Floridian, I am proud to have him represent me.

[@rslockhart]

I'd like to know how many senators were in their seats when this speech was delivered or whether the Senate was mostly empty. I, too, like Rubio's sentiments, but his politics are the same, tired Republican rhetoric about lowering taxes and cutting spending. That hasn't worked for the last 25 years, and it won't work now. Let's see Rubio propose specifics about how he sees we can achieve the goals he laid out at the beginning of his speech. We now know hiis heart is in the right place.

[@revengeoftheultaterrestria292]

ThanksAmericainternetisace!

[@Cindy2136]

You are a great man Sen. Rubio! God Bless you!

[@kfrelander]

I sure wish my home state of Illinois had a 'real man' and a true patriot and statesman to represent us in the US Senate. Perry-Rubio 2012

[@trottheblackdog]

You guys hear this speech? He's delivering his own State of the Union. And it's better than the last ten year's worth.

[@Weesel71]

This dude certainly would/will get my vote.

[@enzothebaker19]

top notch speech. viva Rubio!

[@DavidCharlesOsborne]

Great Speech Marco ! I voted for you but refused to campaign for you because I think your decision to IGNORE the other candidates in the Republican primary was a poor decision. I think you would have won the debate that you REFUSED to have... Anyway, the past is past. Great Speech I look forward to many more. I pray that you don't become corrupted in DC :)

[@Barbkf1953]

President Rubio!! What a great American!!

[@roaches021]

Awesome - welcome to America - now let's all get to work!

[@Speedy.V]

@lithium6977 YES!!!! FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!!!!! WE ARE ALL AMERICANS FIRST, then we are what we are based on where we came from. Thank you sir, you made my day.

[@nationalelec]

Bravo!!

[@moneygoodmauri7859]

Liberty, security and prosperity

[@davidc427]

Bravo Senator Rubio!

[@MJC0827]

Sen Rubio - You are everything we hoped for and more in an elected official representing the people of Fla. Do not allow Washington to change you, you change Washington.

[@dixie4ever]

Proud to have supported him from the get go! If only we can get rid of Nelson and replace him with another conservative!

[@MrJeremyTX]

Love him....

[@shagr14]

@ImHappynBP he was born in Miami Fla. He isn't illegal.

[@thomasraymer1085]

His conservatism seems pretty honest and direct.

[@jdelgado067605]

@Livvy007fyi When you hear this man, it makes you realize what have been passing for senators/leaders. I'd love to see a Perry-Rubio 2012 ticket!

[@steveswb]

@tvdude70 congratulation for choosing the greatest nation, on God's green earth, to call home! Southerner by choice, American by the Grace of God!

[@kfrelander]

Introducing the next vice president, and first Latino to hold such office!!

[@kfrelander]

Yes he was born in Florida, but his parents are immigrants from Cuba, legal immigrants that is. Which is another reason he'll eventually be an appealing candidate. By 2016 there will be a Republican incumbent running for VP, however.

[@Raybz321]

This guy needs to be groomed for the presidency! finally a candidate that we can be proud of. I dont care if he is green with purple polka dots, I would vote for him.

[@wccrispy]

Ron Paul 2012 ... Keep fighting for America, Senator!

[@LCC92551]

He is a good timber to be the next USA Vice President. You beat.

[@johnrecktenwald]

I love this guy.

[@nicholaspowrie8415]

Protect the rights of Americans. No, other countries don't want to be 'like America" anymore. But his sentiments are sound.

[@TheBaglady2]

JFK & Reagan combined. God bless you, Senator Rubio.

[@mnhsty]

A great speech by the Senator from Israel, er, I mean Florida.

[@cynthiabaudino]

god bless you marco

[@johnsot]

America needs to lead by example not by intervention.

[@pete990]

Beautiful man.

[@user-su9ym5ox3i]

True, best looking Senator ever.

[@FloridaGiantsWereReal]

You got your wish... Rubio was just speaking at a CFR meeting ahead of the Bilderberg conference. When unknown politicians meet with Bilderberg they ''win'' high level elections shortly there after. We saw it with Clinton and Obama not to mention numerous lesser staffing positions gov,sen,prime minister... A small group of unelected rich people run the world... you support their efforts.

[@BlackRepublican2010]

Rubio 2012!

[@2039marl]

@mnhsty A great speech by someone who loves America - unlike our president who bows to foreign leaders and denigrates the U.S.

[@Speedy.V]

@kfrelander he is NOT a Latino he is an AMERICAN!

[@yadig2012]

He has a lil' bit to go before he reaches the achievements of the guys on the Top 10 list on my channel.

[@BlackRepublican2010]

Perry/Rubio 2012!

[@Helmutandmoshe]

@Mcalister011 Once you really study the subject of economics, you will shift from laughing to understanding why it's true. If you want, I could help tutor you.

[@moneygoodmauri7859]

He needs to win the nomination and the Presidency one day!

[@Explorer766]

@dizzymasekela so you can't even spell "Americans" in a sentence calling for a real "Amerkin"? Seriously?

[@Arkonservative]

Marco, I like you, I like most of your ideas, and I want to vote for you, however you have no presence online or in the public. I don't see your campaign trail videos, and I haven't heard you making any kind of splash, other than the most recent Republican debate.

[@splash]

@kfrelander he will be president one day.

[@trudycosta9099]

I liked you the day I heard you speak. I watched and listen to you for near 12 years. You are missing something. I cant put my finger on it. But since trump. I dint have any faith in the GOP..And I am a dem

[@kfrelander]

I hope he eventually is President, but VP is a start

why isn't he president yet? Rubio 2016!!!

Rubio will have my vote. I only wish he was positioned to run against the idiot who is currently running this country.

I will say we WILL have a Columbian first lady............Acuzar!

[@joedjmz]

@g206029 Really? You get how special this republic is? Is that why Liberals want to make us more like Europe? Is that why Liberals want to end the Electoral College which is one of the things that keeps this a republic? If you really get how special this republic is, then a person's religious views, even if they are Christian views, would not be what keeps you from voting for them. The fact that you can't differentiate between Christianity and Islam indicates your ignorance.

[@laughingtiger123]

Doubt he will be VP... but he or Christie are a shoo-in in 2016.

Speaking about god is a huge turnoff.
