Better days - you mean when we had 9% unemployment, economic collapse, the subprime mortgage crisis, the Iraq/Afghanistan war, gay people couldn't get married, etc?
I’ll never forget watching my mother cry her eyes out when this happened. I was 8 years old, I grew up a mixed child (black and white) in a republican county in Wisconsin. My mother endured a lot of bs growing up for the color of her skin, that night was a true personal triumph for her and as a young kid I felt it.
I was 11 at this time and I remember having to translate for my grandma. She is Afro-Latina and I just remember tears streaming down her eyes with a smile on her face. Glad you got to experience that.
Whether you liked Obama or not, he was the greatest and the best well-spoken president of our time. So much power and confidence in his voice with no animosity towards another.
and Biden - he has done more work in first 4 years than any president before. But more and more true local leaders come to light and there is hope for you folks from the USA. There is hope.
@@kasiakasia742 Are you serious?? . I voted for him twice. Mistake for sure. He did nothing for this country other than divide and Biden has done the same. He's also allowed for all these illegal immigrants to enter this country and cause the chaos it has. Do you right now feel you're better off now than when Biden was elected. I doubt it.
McCain called Obama and specifically asked him to give a eulogy at his funeral when he knew he was dying. I have a hell of a lot of respect for McCain and Obama 🥲
McCain also asked George W. Bush to give a eulogy - the other man who had defeated him in an election, the Republican primary of 2000. I believe McCain wanted to send a message that it was possible to respect each other even when we disagree, that political contests within a democracy should not need to make us enemies.
Me. Just came from another video showing McCain's conceding speech and my god... the amount of respect and integrity he demonstrated for his winning opponent.
This was the first election I was eligible to vote in, and I remember the amount of pride I had during this speech, knowing that I had been a part of history!
Yep! And so many are quick to say he didn't do enough! He lost the house and senate because ppl did not show up for the midterms! Those elections are just as important.
The cia put him in power now you can say people elected him? People are deceived and manipulated the feeling of optimism is induced through cia mind control called proyecto mk ultra
Even more than 15 years later, this speech is healing and a soothing balm. I do 💝listening to President Obama speak! Always so eloquent and on point. However, this single event made some in America lose their tiny minds! 😂
I cry every time. My great grandmother and grandparents were still alive to see this dream 🥲 I graduated from Nursing school the following semester spring 2009. It was such a wonderful time to grow in my womanhood and witness the first African American family change America 🇺🇸 🤍

My sister struggles with depression, if not for Medicaid, I'm not sure how she would've gotten the medication she needed. Thank you, President Obama, for helping my sister.
Back then US politicians were eloquent, educated statesmen, and Americans were not full of hate and anger for each other. My country (and the world) admired America for what it was. Prayers for you all
I'm sitting here watching this speech in 2024, and balling my eyes out how we took two steps backwards after him to one step forward with Biden and, some Americans don't want to keep moving forward!! They should run this speech on national tv daily as a reminder before the election in Nov!!!
@@Brad02526Biden and Obama have had way better presidencies under almost every metric. Republican presidents are historically a joke since the 80s, especially Trump. Facts over feelings
I'm swedish but i remember this night. Me and a couple of friends sat up during the night and followed the election night. We saw the result, we listen to Obamas speech. I still remember the walk home. It was cold, really cold. But I felt a warmth in my chest. Like anything was possible. The following 18 years has shown me something else, a divided world and that we've not come as far as we want to believe. But that night In November of 2008 I'll never forget. And I won't stop chasing that feeling until I'm dead.
Watching this speech in 2024, I’m shocked how we went from a President like Obama who spoke with thought and humility to Trump who is terribly petty and disrespectful to anyone who doesn’t share his views
One of 3 in my lifetime (im 13) and I may be biased being born in Illinois but he was probably better than Trump and Biden (even if I dont remember it)
I was sitting on my sofa that evening watching election returns, and when Obama went over 270 electoral votes, I sat there and cried like a baby. Absolutely one of the greatest moments of my life.
Too bad republicans majority congress made sure he couldn’t implement the things he wanted to, that would have helped make this country more equitable. We got the ultimate “overcorrection” with the burnt and crispy unofficial McDonald’s mascot that succeeded him.
I have lost count of how many times I have watch this, I remember this night so vividly, it is the greatest Presidential speech of my life time. When he says the word gay and it was the first time a president till this point had said it, I think my soul left my body. I felt seen. We can get there again, we can be brothers and sisters again.
this makes me lowkey emotional because 11/4/08 was also my 18th birthday. the timing was too perfect. I was SO happy and excited to be able to be part of such a historic election and moment in history 😭❤

I remember sitting in a hotel room in LA, my brother's had gone food shopping since we were gonna be there for a while and we didn't want to eat out every meal. We all had Obama tops on, I had broken 8 bones the week before trying to see Obama at the last Rally he held in Colorado, we were warned to make the trip to get food fast because it was election night, and the hotel was near Hollywood boulevard. My brother's decided that because I was on cruches and in a boot I would stay behind. I was told to call if the election was called before they got back. I was in the middle of getting things unpacked and ready for the next day when they called it. I started to cry because of how big this was for the Minority community because my brothers and I are part of that community. I called my parents first, we cried, I then called my brother's and said they needed to hurry because they called the election, I could hear people in the background what did she just say, did she say they called the election, my brother was like yeah she just said that, everyone hushed up and my brother was like ok tell us, who won, I only said 1 word,Obama it got loud. I was like guys you gotta hurry I can already hear the Helicopters.

It’s truly shocking that the country has gone from that to the scary mess that we have now in such a short time.
Because a certain right wing political party hates the idea of diversity and democracy.
It's just unbelievable, Trump started it cause he was so jealous a black man was elected
He was a mess himself 🤷🏽♂️
Yes , immediately after Obama was rigged as president !
Bush incompetence opened the door to Hope and Faith Obama. Well unfortunately Obama brought the backlash of Resentment, Anger and Corruption Trump.
He mentioned senator McCain and people still cheered and they didn’t boo… that says a lot

I know, its so undigified these days. Can we go back to politics and stop name calling on both ends.
