U2's Bono Speaks at GU Global Social Enterprise Event

[@videos4mydad]

Whenever I have a presentation to make, I watch this video a few hours before to feel relaxed and inspried. It has worked 3/3 so far.

[@GeorgeZambra]

I have to say... Bono it is a great example of what a single Man Can Achieve,, with the Right Thoughts and Experience and Hope . You Have to Have Hope .

[@charlielee5893]

Well said, I agree completely

[@mewmew1191]

Thank you Mr Bono that was amazing... You are a cool dude and even though I am just a kid you have given me hope for our future!!! Now I am going to check out your band U2!!!

[@tomthorn2887]

I admire Bono so much. This is a very wealthy man who could just stay home in a huge mansion drinking 5 thousand dollar bottles of wine in a huge swimming pool but he doesn't! I admire that! He spends A LOT of time thinking about people who are having it hard. He has a big heart and he is ALWAYS willing to put his money where his mouth is. He is a guy who really truly wants to leave the world in better shape then when he was born! He is always willing to set politics and party aside to find a good peaceful deal.

[@clara2768]

I don´t understand why some people think that because Bono is a millionaire, a self-made millionaire I may add he can´t speak up against poverty, or that for some reason he should be ashamed of himself for having so much money. First of all he, his wife and U2 give lots of money to charity, he does his part. His quest is to get you and me and more importantly, the big politicians to also give, but to more importantly change laws to make life better for the poor. He can´t do it on his own, nor should he have to. We should all be doing something. ANd when you think of it, MIchael Jackson, Madonna, Mick Jagger, all richer or equally rich and I don´t/ didn´t see any of them worried much about giving. LAst on the list of givers?--Lady Gaga and a guy named Bieber.

[@chrisfairbarn9908]

Exactly

[@bonofoundgrace]

Intelligent, sharp, well informed and prepared and on top of that gifted with a great sense of humor. It makes Bono irresistable. I could listen to him for hours and I'm sure he has inspired a lot of (young) people with his speech. Well done, this makes the U2 fans proud, again.

[@ciarankelly4338]

Enjoyed your speech very much Bono and you fly the Irish flag high! Greetings from Leitrim!

[@NicolasVanhove]

Choose your enemies carefully 'cause they will define you Make them interesting 'cause in some ways they will mind you They're not there in the beginning but when your story ends Gonna last with you longer than your friend

[@dugadams]

Very impressed by my man Bono... right, left, center... he is very inspirational.

[@alliemccullen4681]

Loved your comment it is just how I feel.!!! Bono should re created all systems, religious, politics, economics.. all for us the youth! A NEW EATH WITH A NEW HEAVEN. He is amazing!!! Thanks God is is a human FOR all of us.. Celtic warrior and Hero! Thanks God and his family bless be!! A rebel for a GOOD AND BETTER CHANGE IN LIFE for all of US :)

[@WThomas66]

Now this guy GETS it...

[@MarenkaCerny_SomPsych]

Respect for not being on facebook. That's a great contribution - the perfect description. I'm calling him on his double agent status.

[@MinionWarlord]

Your heart doesn't matter, your mind does. If you haven't reconciled your heart with your mind, then you won't do anything..

[@tysy73]

It's never occurred to me before, Bono is like a mellow, relaxed version of Robin Williams.

[@MarenkaCerny_SomPsych]

thank you very much. Yes, I've encountered much contradictions and irony with facebook. when i was considering whether to speak from an independent blog about this controversy, i decided to go with where i'd get more immediate traffic. ...Good chatting with you. ;o)

[@MarenkaCerny_SomPsych]

My response exactly. Perhaps you'd be interested in joining the writing of the open letter to Bono to say just that.

[@blainsnyder6962]

Bank of America stole $300, from me when I was in 4th grade as a paperboy I had a savings account.

[@garyhutton2654]

Why are the Irish so interesting, intelligent and kind

[@alvinjohnson8126]

He is seeing the people at the top of the pyramid. Privatizing, relieve the government of that burden on our own initiatives. Not waiting for the cuts, but taking control of the cuts. submit bids to relieve the governments. This will increase the pace for development in education and employment.

[@loqutor]

Wow, his Clinton impression was spot-on.

[@Jecxbox]

Are you feeling okay? You see that around his neck? Its a rosary. Hes a proud Catholic. Hows that for ya? And...on..this...ROCK!

[@user-vd2jk7dl3p]

OMG! your right!!!

[@Andreas748]

yeah, I think even his bandmates feel the same way

[@oceanview5221]

What they need is the Gospel, Mathew 28

[@MzSelinaKyle]

Share this!!!

[@user-vd2jk7dl3p]

I love that Bono is indorsing capitalism AND the white boy fade :)

[@alliemccullen4681]

A REAL Christian wont said he is or not a Christian... Jesus never said I am part of .. TO BE LIKE Jesus or to follow him... U dont set up any name.. just put your heart on the job and duty for love for People and HELP ,. Thats is LOVE that is what only is GOD... ok hope u understand UNIVERSAL LOVE- GOD

[@Andreas748]

what are you trying to say?

[@michaeljuliano8839]

I think where Bono goes wrong is in the idea that governments should supply the money to help these truly important causes. Politicians have a way of making money that was supposed to be allocated for something disappear like with Social Security. I'm not opposed to giving money to these causes, but I see no reason why we should let politicians skim off the top to pay back their campaign donors or take the money hostage to force us to acquiesce to their absurd pet projects.

[@astroman2012]

I looked up the word "Bono" in an old Gaelic dictionary and apparently it means "bellend"

[@johndoyle1810]

A lot of people especially when you free fall down the tubes laugh,,,

[@blaster21996]

I watched the whole vid.... and here is my take...Bono is a wealthy guy that can go, and do whatever he wants.... He is Catholic, so he feels the need to come to Jesus with his guilt for great success! Apparently he has chosen the poor of Africa as his come to Jesus kneel! In doing this, I can not fault him, as I am an American, and am more focused on local issues, and getting my own country on the right track for my son, and future generations of Americans. However, his calling out Pelosi and Clinton as Rock stars is simply unforgivable! It it clearly shows his ignorance of the American struggle! I am not a globalist... and i do not think the founding fathers had an interest in globalism. In fact....I think they leaned towards isolationism!

[@blaster21996]

daniel courtney he is a douche, like you, you ego maniac!

[@blaster21996]

daniel courtney Thank you...and God bless you

[@greatone7314]

blaster21996 Thank you Bono

[@blaster21996]

daniel courtney Fuck Bono you fuck clown! He has no right to preach from a podium about the Unites States!

[@greatone7314]

blaster21996 I thought he was your hero?

[@Andrew1911]

That's all well and good, Bono, but WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKING T-SHIRTS?

[@PabloRamirez-il4cl]

b'cause Bono have it happen? and you are half idea half irish?

[@42tomasz]

The Arab Spring is not the Beast. But I do not see how it is not it, either. Not levers, buttons; in such structural resonance an economic mirror for BoNo's fiscal influence. It is not not dangerous, to be turning the world in one's head - "it's gonna take your whole life".

[@Irish780]

As a irishmam what about Palestinian I ask u. Your Irish and despair me

[@johndoyle1810]

I understand the concept of the third world poverty I’m similar living in hell in Dublin

[@rodgt9057]

You are living in the first world my friend, Ireland is a country with much higher living standards than any Latin American country

[@johndoyle1810]

Even the immortal are cocooning within reason what is happening to planet earth

[@juliansandoval8022]

Georgetown does not deserve Bono. Lets just face it.

[@scottchastain608]

Let me ask you fine progressives/liberals, why does Bono get it more than any of you?!

[@el_killorcure]

Because he grew up in poverty and violence in Belfast I think?

[@michaeljuliano8839]

I almost threw up when he started brown-nosing those politicians.
