"but I'll come back to you next year at that anniversary. And I will stand before you as President of the United States of America. And at that moment, you and I will truly know that a new day has come..." Those are some classic words right there brothers and sisters!!
YES WE CAN!!! Barack Obama is charismatic and refreshingly inspirational each time he speaks...his ability to reach his audience is phenomenal...you can genuinely see his compassion for people...ALL PEOPLE. His global knowledge and humanitarian past began long before his bid for The Presidency...this is such a monumental time and we need to look past color and finally come to grips on who will be the most powerful leader for our country...and who will deliver. IT'S TIME TO COME TOGETHER!!!
I am an American abroad. I tell you the change in the way I am treated since Obama has been running for President has been amazing. People here are looking at us again as the country that can dream amazing dreams. Finally we did something right for a change. A gift form good deeds done. Please protect him from the crazies!
as a wite man i understand that there's America & there's Blacks in America..Blacks hav only been "free" for like 30 years..WE need to accept that blacks r Americans too..the back bone to this wonderfull country WE live in..GodBlesss U all..Obama08
I feel so blessed to be in this country and witness history in the making. Obama is on the verge of reclaiming the dignity of America. The whole world is looking forward to this new day. God bless Obama!
I got tears in my eyes at the end of the speech. It hit me suddenly that we have a great possibility among us. We as a country must take advantage of it. Obama '08
When Barack Obama gave the keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention I turned to my wife and said to her: "That guy will one day be the President of the United States!" Little did I know that it would happen in 2008... but like says: "I am running because there is the fierce urgency of now!" Barack Obama represents the best in all of us! Please give him a chance unite this country that has been so divided in the last 20 years! God Bless America!
As far as I'm concerned, Barack Obama is already the President of the United States. I have never in my life thought about voting for anyone until this man came along. See ya' in November!
Agreed. Barack Obama is the best choice for our nation going forward. He can and will change this country by bridging the gap between black and white, poor and rich, young and old, democrat and republican!
What a wonderful speech! Thank you so much for being a leader that our young men and women (and adults) have been needing for quite some time. If Obama becomes the leader of our nation, imagine the benefits it will have on our youth - how proud they will be and hesitant to "mess up." As of now, he is the leader and benefiting our youth already.
everyone's been saying Obama has needed to bring back more of the things he said in his inspiring Father's day speech, he did so right here and I hope it continues as a focal point in his campaign. This is our moment! OBAMA08!
USer22c, i agree with you. America is lucky to have Obama. He"s the greatest. I am from rwanda, Went to school in The states and currently working in the USA. His speech gives me hope for better America and a better world. Please you guys vote for him.
This speech was not about black responsibility. In fact, this speech was about the multiple avenues that must be taken in order to arrive at a place where the 100 years of the NAACP is not in vain. This includes political, societal, and individual responsibility. This is not specific or unique to black people, for we all have benefited from the fruits of NAACP'S labor. I hope we can really hear Obama. Great Speech, Wonderful and Appropriate message.
It was nice to hear BO give a little lip service to the fact that we need to take care of the children we bring into the world. In my opinion this is the biggest struggle most families face, no dad, no hope.
You go Obama, You have my vote, keep up the good work, it is nothing wrong when men and women can tell others they are not doing their part in this God given world. Good examples are where it begins to help combat the fatherless in America. Now it's time for you fathers to make a change in the lives of your children and the world. Do the right thing be GREAT Fathers and do what GOD expect you to do. Keep the Faith. My husband did it, been in love with each other for 33 years and 3 kids.
100 years and the best we got is Obama, and they had nothing to do with how he got here...lol There is a GOD, and he don't belong to the NAACP. *grin* But then again..who does? And why? respect
Windfall tax, new job market, closing loopholes for the Bush buddies, ending the war, releiving the tax burden on the middle class when drives the economy, etc. Question for you Mr. Pipedream. What's is McCains plan?
Come on brother keep talking about responsibility regardless of what Jessey and others might think. I am a conservative who admires you because of your responsibility talk not only from gov't but individuals as well.
There is a lot of information on his NAFTA position if you look for it... I actually starting looking for you... instead, let me say, the information is out there and NAFTA would not be a useful conversation to this audience... he is addressing what this audience cares about... I hope someone else has the time to do the research for you or you take the real time to do the work yourself... God Bless, have a great day.
Obama's policies are great. I support them. I hope, that if and when he is elected and he has the opportunity to implement these policies, we won't find the American gov't. completely bankrupt, because Bush and this war in Iraq have bankrupted this country.
the good thing is that it comes from people like me giving 10 a month or every two weeks i feel like he will make a difference in my pay check so i will give another next month because i believe in him and his wife and the dnc so hey lets give to the dnc they need the money we cannot let teh gop continue to beat us out every year come on tell your friends to donate barack will need the mems to pass legilation that will help us all and get us out of this mess
Politics as usual? did you listen to his speech? About changing priorities and refocussing on American interests like no one else has in >20 years. He has already said what his position on NAFTA is. Obama believes that NAFTA and its potential were oversold to the American people. Obama will work with the leaders of Canada and Mexico to fix NAFTA so that it works for American workers. That is straight from his policy statement on his website. People should do their own homework before they post.
i just watched a speech by Bush and McCain. To me, they just look like they are lying or they dont really care. Like they dont really want to be there dealing with the issues of the average hard working citizen. And then instead of taking responsibility themselves, they blame it on the democratic congress who've only been in power for two years. Vote Obama '08
God bless Obama..im a future film maker(youtube: F2daD)..he makes me feel that anything is possable.."if we believe"..we need change..we'l get change..we'l have change if we move toward "Obama08"..Frankie.d
YES WE CAN!!!

Another great speech by a man of substance. America, we must elect this man president. Obama 2008-2016!

Exactly. We can do it, if we try! Complacency is not an option.

The NAACP started in Illinois, where Obama is Senator, right?

Powerful. Truly one of his best speeches, especially the toughness he showed against recent critique.
That is what a Leader sounds like! That is what a Leader looks like! That is what a PRESIDENT looks and sounds like!
how do you know
Yes, we can... Obama is the real deal, he's exactly what America needs.
OBAMA 08...

This was a good move for Obama. Very important speech. I hope people pay attention.
Medgar Evers, Jane Addams, Dr. Martin Luther King.
I admire very few people more
I agree we ALL have the obligation to set a GOOD EXAMPLE --start off clean, move on clean, work together clean..u know what i mean"?!?!
Truly the man. For the first time ever, I believe a politician.
Hi position on Nafta is the same for all foreign trade. Our companies that send our jobs overseas will pay for it.
come to California
I love this man because he is GOOD and cares about people/mankind!! Obama 08
Such a great speech. We as African Americans, we need to take respondbility for our actions, and step up to the plate. Obama 08!
100 years and the best we got is Obama, and they had nothing to do with how he got here...lol
There is a GOD, and he don't belong to the NAACP.
*grin*
But then again..who does? And why?
respect
Well, there you have it. What other choice is there? I like my leaders humble and eloquent. He fits both very well.
Obama '08!
I just heard on the news that the Obama campaign raised 52 million dollars for June. How great!!!
Please, America. Vote for this man!
Shhhh, you can't ask him serious questions. Only things that have to do with "hope" and "change".
Wow, imagine a president who can put two sentences together without saying, "uhhhhh...!?"
Do you mean McCain?
Windfall tax, new job market, closing loopholes for the Bush buddies, ending the war, releiving the tax burden on the middle class when drives the economy, etc. Question for you Mr. Pipedream. What's is McCains plan?
Come on brother keep talking about responsibility regardless of what Jessey and others might think. I am a conservative who admires you because of your responsibility talk not only from gov't but individuals as well.
Amen
Great speech! (And ending song)
STANDING OVATION!!!!!!
probably the best speech i've ever heard. amazing.
7:42 oh my geez he is so right---finally someone who realized the inequality in distribution of hard working money!
He's a true politician and he knows what he wants.

Fantastic speech as always.
Another fine speech by our future president.
Excellent speech!!!

Vote Black! Vote Obama!

OBAMA'08
Powerful ending.
Go BO!
So what IS Obama's position on NAFTA??? He's sounding more and more like politics as usual. :-(
Obama's policies are great. I support them. I hope, that if and when he is elected and he has the opportunity to implement these policies, we won't find the American gov't. completely bankrupt, because Bush and this war in Iraq have bankrupted this country.
the good thing is that it comes from people like me giving 10 a month or every two weeks i feel like he will make a difference in my pay check so i will give another next month because i believe in him and his wife and the dnc so hey lets give to the dnc they need the money we cannot let teh gop continue to beat us out every year come on tell your friends to donate barack will need the mems to pass legilation that will help us all and get us out of this mess
Wish he were to be sworn in tomorrow.
Amen. :)
