Obama 2012: Are you in? my.barackobama.... Barack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination for president on August 28, 2008, before 84,000 people at Mile High Stadium, in Denver, CO.
This speech gave me CHILLS!! This is the FIRST TIME I have TRULY BEEN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!! GOD BLESS YOU BARACK!!! YOU ARE TRULY GOD SENT!!! OBAMA 08!!! BARACK THA VOTE!! Barack will DEFINATELY GET MY VOTE!!! IT's BEEN A LONG TIME COMIN!! AND NOW IT's FINALLY TIME FOR A CHANGE!!!! OBAMA 08!! GET OUT AND BARACK THA VOTE!!!!!!!!!
I'm still young and I have never been this excited about a presidential election. I have dedicated alot of time to following this campaign and I say, "Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States."
I love this speech, the editing, the construction, the dynamism, the conviction, the commitment, and ultimately, the man who wrote it. This is the America I've been waiting for. The America that I thought could only exist in fiction, but which I hoped, and yearned for in reality... I am moved as I watch it yet again. And I am convinced, as my mother who immigrated here so firmly is, that America is the greatest country in the world. Yes... yes we can.
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'".-MLK USA OBAAMA/BIDEN 2008
That speech by Barack Obama moved me in a way that inspired me to believe again in America, and my personal ability to make change in my everyday life!
I had to watch this speech again (it was that great). Senator Obama is a candidate that I can truly get behind. I wish that people would take off the political party blinders and see what a remakable man he is. Love him, despise him, indifferent about him - this place and time was historic and it's not a coincidence that 45 years after Dr. King and only being the third candidate to give an acceptace speech outdoors, this man is marked for greatness. I believe. I have faith. Yes we can!!!
I was at the DNC, and was very impressed by Obama's speech. I must admit, that when reading his book, "Dreams from my Father," I developed some reservations about Obama. Then I realized that regardless of any of his background, here is a truly honest person. He made his life an open book, and he has not only seen struggle, but experienced it as well- and unlike any other candidate has REAL experience, working with the ordinary citizen, helping to improve things, and getting it done, WELL DONE.
I'm only a young student, who has always wondered what it felt like to be those men and women who decades ago were so moved by JFK and MLK. Our generation finally has such an inspiring figure - a leader for the new millenium.
Great. You post a video of the event so that I can cry all over again. Rest assured they are happy tears...very happy tears! Obama and Biden in '08!!!!!
I can't tell you how much that Obama reminds me of John F. Kennedy. His words, his actions, his determination. He is truly the leader America needs now and for its future.
I saw this speech live last night and it is as good then as it is re watching it now. The speech had everything it needed to have. And it couldn't have been delivered any better.. Great Job Barack!! OBAMA/BIDEN '08
I am a peruvian-italian citizen living in Madrid, Spain, my brother and part of my family live in USA, I lived in NYC some years ago, and I have a message for the american citizen, now you have an extraordinary candidate to change USA, pls vote for Obama, do not make another stupid mistake....do it for thenetx generations.
This will be the 3rd Presidential election that I have been able to vote for but this is the first time I have felt a candidate is WORTH my vote. He brings hope to the future for our generation and for my children! God bless Obama and God bless America!
I will watch this many times between now and November. It is a tool for inspiration to help others get registered and remind them to go and vote. Obama '08 and '12!
As a Canadian I can assure you fellow Americans that 8 out of 10 people here would vote for Obama. But having seen John Kerry go down in 2004 makes me very skeptical about the real potential for change in your country. How come 40% of Americans would still vote for another 4 years of Republican administration is a mystery to me. That said, wow, what a great orator Obama is.
I was watchin this on another site yesterday and pointed Obama out to my 3.5 yr old daughter. I said "you see that man, his name is Barack Obama" "...remember his face, he will be very important when you get older...he will become the first black president ever" Shes says, "omg I cant beleive it" lol I had to laugh, she will understand someday but I had to make her apart of history
Tears in my eyes listening to this great and wonderful man, the speech was one of the best i have ever seen. Only Sir Winston Churchill speech was better.
This speech reminded me of a "State of the Union" speech, more real than the one given by the sitting President. It was more content-filled, more specific, more inspiring, and more unifying. In short, it was *Presidential*. So much for all the pundits who criticize Obama's campaign as being "too vague and too dreamy". Well, he got very specific tonight. He proved that being "pragmatic" and "idealistic" do not have to be mutually exclusive. He also proved that politics doesn't have to be cynical.
Obama represents the Real Change America Needs!WE yes, WE the America people have the power to make Real Change happen! Vote on November 4th! Vote for Barack Obama for the next President of the United States of America!
Dear Senator Obama, After you get elected, please continue to keep to inspiring the world and never give up discovering the best solutions to face the ever ending challenges in this time and space. Please always be patient, insightful, kind, innovative, brave, and humble while you lead this nation and let us find a way to coexist with all noble beliefs, values, cultures, systems and visions.
I watched this live on Fountain Square in Cincinnati, Ohio with thousands of citizens gathered peacefully. It was, so far, the most profoundly moving moment in politics that I have ever experienced. Watching it with strangers just made it all the more relevant; each of us celebrating democracy in our own way, but choosing to do it together. It's almost like it's going by too fast. This is the kind of stuff you hope to tell your children and grandchildren about one day. Obama/Biden '08!
This is my third election as well, and I feel the EXACT same way. He inspires ideas in me to believe America can actually be what we've always dreamed it could be.
I am really moved by all the comments in here from people from other countries supporting Obama. That hasnt even happend once by accident in the last 8 years, America is BACK!
The road for the humanity to unite in peace and joy is long ahead of you. Use your influence wisely to make this world a better place for "all", then perhaps this generation might be able to experience a piece of heaven on earth. One World One Dream
Amazing. This speech brings hope not only to you americans, but also to the rest of the world, that have lost their faith to USA, over the last eight years of disastrous policies. Good luck democrats and best regards from Norway!
Anyone that doesn't support this man is completely outside of reality. The rumors and lies, the idiocy, and the racism can't cause us to lose such an incredible opportunity. I work on the South Side of Chicago and Obama "gets it". Why people let petty and unsubstantiated rumors get in the way of seeing how bad it is under this administration and the prospect of four more years of this crap is beyond me. Obama/Biden!
Barack Obama is the only decent choice, and he has been since the beginning of this race. It will be a beautiful thing, to have a president I'm PROUD of once again, as opposed to the illiterate embarrassment of the past eight years. I just lost my job, but if I were able to afford it, I would donate every dollar I legally could to this campaign. I'm hopeful for the future, after many years of not being so. This is not merely an election anymore- this is a referendum on the future of America.
For the first time in my life I've actually donated to a political campaign. Yes, I think it is that important for Barak Obama to be our next president!
He will be an exceptional President that will get this country back on track and implement the policies the Democrats used in the 1990's that led to rising wealth and prosperity for ALL Americans!!
There are simply no words to express the awesomeness of Obama, nor for his absolutely brilliant speech.........besides the ones I just used. *GO OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!!!!!!*
Possibly one of if not the best speech I've ever heard...I had tears in my eyes because as cheesy as it might sound I have hope that if Americans make the correct choice Barack Obama and Joe Biden will be elected in November...
For all those who said that candidate Obama lacked substance, this speech erased all those doubts.
I completely agree. This is the first election in the past 3 that I have a candidate, from either party, that I'm proud to vote for and excited about.
This was one of the best speeches I've seen! He just makes sense!!
This speech gave me CHILLS!! This is the FIRST TIME I have TRULY BEEN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!! GOD BLESS YOU BARACK!!! YOU ARE TRULY GOD SENT!!!
OBAMA 08!!!
BARACK THA VOTE!!
Barack will DEFINATELY GET MY VOTE!!!
IT's BEEN A LONG TIME COMIN!! AND NOW IT's FINALLY TIME FOR A CHANGE!!!!
OBAMA
08!!
GET OUT AND BARACK THA VOTE!!!!!!!!!
I'm so happy that i'm turning 18 and i can vote for this great man!
I can't wait to vote this November 2012. I loved him then, and I love him now.
I'm still young and I have never been this excited about a presidential election. I have dedicated alot of time to following this campaign and I say, "Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States."
I was there - It was so powerful, I felt it in my chest.
Best moment of this campaign!
I love this speech, the editing, the construction, the dynamism, the conviction, the commitment, and ultimately, the man who wrote it. This is the America I've been waiting for. The America that I thought could only exist in fiction, but which I hoped, and yearned for in reality... I am moved as I watch it yet again. And I am convinced, as my mother who immigrated here so firmly is, that America is the greatest country in the world.
Yes... yes we can.
The end was so beautiful!!!
One of the best speeches EVER!
Best speech in best venue I've seen in my 48 years. Please VOTE OBAMA everyone!

shit, what an amazing man!
if he gets elected I'm gonna move to the US!

This is my first election I can vote in having turned 18 just this past April and I hope that my vote will count this fall!
Great. You post a video of the event so that I can cry all over again. Rest assured they are happy tears...very happy tears! Obama and Biden in '08!!!!!
I can't tell you how much that Obama reminds me of John F. Kennedy. His words, his actions, his determination. He is truly the leader America needs now and for its future.
If this man doesn't get elected, I will lose my faith in mankind.
He Is Indeed The Man For
The Job!

I have done something I thought I would never do, and I've done it 3 times now already. I donated to a political campaign. Obama is an inspiration.
This will be the 3rd Presidential election that I have been able to vote for but this is the first time I have felt a candidate is WORTH my vote. He brings hope to the future for our generation and for my children! God bless Obama and God bless America!

great leader and his speeches are always something to think about..I'll vote for him if I weren't a European
A great man, a great statesman. Congratulations, Americans. You're back.
Tears in my eyes listening to this great and wonderful man, the speech was one of the best i have ever seen. Only Sir Winston Churchill speech was better.
A great, galvanizing speech. I hope the undecideds heard--and listened!
I love the back stage looks at this event, please post more if you have them. What a night!

though i m not american - i reli like his speech, as it ignites hope!
From Belgium, Europe.
For a brighter future of this world,
For honesty and integrity,
from the bottom of my heart,
Barack Obama / Joe Biden
Incredible and inspirational. An orator like no other. A Change I Can Believe In!!!!
Quite possibly the greatest speech I've heard or seen in my 28 years. Wow.
I love this speech
Obama represents the Real Change America Needs!WE yes, WE the America people have the power to make Real Change happen! Vote on November 4th! Vote for Barack Obama for the next President of the United States of America!
i wish they left the beginning in where he had to say thank you for a few minutes, that was a powerful part of the speech and very moving

One of the greatest speeches in American history.
I was movd beyond words! Really wish my father could have been here to see history unfold before our eyes.
SOOOOOO Proud
Obama/Biden '08!!!
"It was a creed written in the founding documents, that declared the destiny of a nation, yes we can!!!"
The best speech i have ever heard!!!
thank God he creates this brilliant man!

This man is amazing.. Our next president of The United States of America.. Barack Obama!!!!
Pure brilliance. I am so proud to be an American! God bless Barack Obama and Joe Biden. God bless America and the world.
This is my third election as well, and I feel the EXACT same way. He inspires ideas in me to believe America can actually be what we've always dreamed it could be.
I am really moved by all the comments in here from people from other countries supporting Obama. That hasnt even happend once by accident in the last 8 years, America is BACK!
Obama is so cool and great and does the right things and really GIVES and DELIVERS! He's so calm about everything and doesn't panic!
possibly one of the best speeches i have ever heard
"...this election has never been about me,it's about you!"
"Change doesn't come FROM Washington
change comes TO Washington!"
God bless you!
The road for the humanity to unite in peace and joy is long ahead of you. Use your influence wisely to make this world a better place for "all", then perhaps this generation might be able to experience a piece of heaven on earth.
One World One Dream
This was a remarkable, historic speech from our next president. It's his best speech, even better than "A More Perfect Union."
possibly the best speech I have EVER heard
What a great speech. I can just know this is the direction our country needs to go. A less selfish approach than the republicans.
A historic masterpiece.
Take note.
"Be the change you wish to see in the world..."

A very "beautiful" speech!!
Obama is a true leader!!!
One of the greatest political speeches ever written -- or delivered. The next President of the United States will be Barack Obama.
We support you! We hope and believe that with you America will be better!
I loved this speech
I am inspired! I am ready for change! America needs a new leader....Barack Obama.
GrEaT SpeEcH ever
This man is amazing
Amazing. This speech brings hope not only to you americans, but also to the rest of the world, that have lost their faith to USA, over the last eight years of disastrous policies. Good luck democrats and best regards from Norway!
I accept this speech as fantastic!
The man was on point and brilliant! Our next President!
Anyone that doesn't support this man is completely outside of reality. The rumors and lies, the idiocy, and the racism can't cause us to lose such an incredible opportunity. I work on the South Side of Chicago and Obama "gets it". Why people let petty and unsubstantiated rumors get in the way of seeing how bad it is under this administration and the prospect of four more years of this crap is beyond me. Obama/Biden!
I'll never forget this moment...
Barack Obama is the only decent choice, and he has been since the beginning of this race. It will be a beautiful thing, to have a president I'm PROUD of once again, as opposed to the illiterate embarrassment of the past eight years. I just lost my job, but if I were able to afford it, I would donate every dollar I legally could to this campaign. I'm hopeful for the future, after many years of not being so.

He will make such a charismatic President than Bill did.
Both of them are great!
Obama - Biden '08!
He's got my vote!
Unbelievable speech!
For the first time in my life I've actually donated to a political campaign. Yes, I think it is that important for Barak Obama to be our next president!
He is an amazing speaker.
Barck is a smart man and he can lead this country.
A man who has specific ideas on how to rebuild a stronger America! Obama is my choice.
awsome and i love the U2 song at the beginning!
He will be an exceptional President that will get this country back on track and implement the policies the Democrats used in the 1990's that led to rising wealth and prosperity for ALL Americans!!
Because he was asked directly how his experience stacks up against hers. It was a direct response to a direct question.
Despite my past doubts about this guy, now he has won my vote.
us europeans need leaders like obama maybe we would rise again to have some pride in ourselves
Excellent speech, really enjoyed it.
What a great moment for our country
We need Obama now more then ever
Obama/Biden 08!!!
History. One More Step.
This candidate gives me hope for our future.
This man is going to go down in history as one of the greatest Presidents of our Country. I am so proud, I am speechless.
Amazing speech. As always.
There are simply no words to express the awesomeness of Obama, nor for his absolutely brilliant speech.........besides the ones I just used. *GO OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!!!!!!*
I just donated too after hearing Palin's divisive speech. OBAMA/BIDEN 08!
Possibly one of if not the best speech I've ever heard...I had tears in my eyes because as cheesy as it might sound I have hope that if Americans make the correct choice Barack Obama and Joe Biden will be elected in November...
ah man what a speech. well done.
He had to be nervous as hell. He's just what we need. A persistent president that isn't afraid to stand up against anything.
