I can't understand why there hasn't been a comment yet... Anyway, I saw this speech live and here on RUclips. I don't care who you are, this man is a man who is presidential. There are only a hand full of presidents that can take the words off the page in a manner that is truly amazing and he can do that. I don't know if he writes his own speeches, but they are world class. And that is what we need a world class president. He can convey the American sprit to the world like no one else can.
OMG, I'm the first person to comment on this video. Obama you were simply amazing. I sat down with my grandmother for 45minutes watching this historic speech. He is simply the best orator I have seen in a long time and deserves to be Americas next president!
Dear Future President, You have already made history by accepting this nomination. You now embark on a unchartered path and I hope that you will continue to make history by not letting those who support you down. Godspeed and I hope to wake up on November 5th with a feeling of hope and prosperity rather than dread for my country's future.
If he is going to run the country the way he has run his campaign, OMG, the future looks incredibly bright! Tears, Tears, and more Tears last night!This was by far the best thing I've ever witnessed or seen in my life time! Thank God for this Bro!
Obama!!! What an incredible speech! I am so proud to call myself a Democrat and supporter of Barack Obama. It's almost too good to be true. Let's take our country back! Obama 2008
I am so grateful that I am alive to see and hear President Obama. I wish that my grandfathers had lived to see this, as well as Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King. November can't get here soon enough, and I have such great hope for the future. :D
This is the best speech I have seen Barack give so far. He laid out his whole plan, rebutted every criticism leveled at him, highlighted the tremendous importance of this election and the issues we face, went straight at John McCain and did it all in a way that inspired anyone who watched it...even some of the most right wing bobble heads on TV were impressed. If you missed it last night, I implore you to watch the entire speech, turn up the surround sound. GOBAMA!
This was a speech for the ages. In addition to being extremely articulate, he acknowledged the tremendous contribution of colleagues and explained how we as Americans must work together for the good of everyone through mutual responsibility and humanitarian concern. We, as a human race, can be extremely proud to have this remarkable human being among us, who has the insight and wisdom to guide us what will hopefully be the next eight years. Let's be thankful for this remarkable opportunity.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I live in England so watching your speeches live i have to be up at 3 in the morning. Thankfully my new baby wakes me up. 2 things that inspire me. I love it. Great speech.
I feel honoured to have personally witnessed this historic moment. Moved to the core.. Obama is a leader that combines softness and resolve, wisdom and compassion. A blessing to the world.
such an amazing speech. Barack hit all the right points, taking aim directly at the negative tactics used by McCain. I felt like my heart was going to leap out of my chest while I watched this live. This is history, and we are living it now.
Thank you so much for this speech! Holding my breath these last months were not in vain. I can exhale NOW. What a relief! Obama and Michelle, I love you guys so much!
I've often been a proud American, and I've occasionally been a hopeful American, this video leaves me more proud and more hopeful than I can ever recall.
I had lost hope in this country until I watched this speech. As I listened to each line being delivered I was amazed at how much his views reflect my own. I believe in him and I believe in change. So on Nov. 4th let's do our part to bring about change. Yes We Can because Eight Is Enough!!!!
This man is a man...Man of passion and compassion...Someone who cares and has truthful words that he not only speaks to get elected but believes in what he says.
This was a truly great speech. If I hadn't recognized some wordings from "The Audacity of Hope", I would almost have thought that Aaron Sorkin wrote it.
Man the intro would have been a nice starting point - it gets the point that much further across. That introduction video with his entrance sold me into voting for him.
this is one of the most amazing speech i've heard in my live. i think we will need many years to repeate this moment, like it was. Gob bless Obama, Gob Bless the World.
Oh man, I cried all through it. I've been crying all week! Michelle's mother started it, and then Bo, and the second Barack said "I accept" - I lost it again. ALL are happy tears! I'm in love with the whole family, and Joe Biden is so likeable, and terrific on the issues.... it's just a perfect team. I can't wait to do my weekly voter registrations on Mon & Tues!
This is what inspires me to continue my quest at helping my country....Barack Obama is my hero. He fought back and used the opposition's words against them...as a debater and public speaker, I LOVED how beautifully weaved this factual yet inspirational speech President Obama put together. Obama, you are in my prayers and for the first time, I see what it means to love my leader. Thanks.
You have the singular honor of being his First You Tube voice as part of the DNC Obama Grand Moment - Good On You. I loved his speech and all that he stands for - loved his reference to "fear and smear" - I pray that this henchmen political tactics will not bring a shameful victory to the Republicans like they did against Kerry.
38 million tuned in to watch and 85,000 people attended...Damn! I can't wait until November! I get to vote for the first time and I hope to be apart of change! Obama 08!
Barack Obama...if you aren't elected president I am truly afraid to think about what our country will look like after 4 more years of this. This speech inspired me, and will serve as an example to those who wish to bring change to our country.
Stunningly competent! Such a contrast to what we're used to. Even the critics like Buchanan were super-impressed. Obama/Biden is the kind of talented team that comes along once in several generations if we're lucky. And at this moment, we really need them... "Enough!", is right! God bless 'em.
OM SVASTI We appreciate Mr. Obama´s speech about individual & mutual responsibility. It relates to Buddhist teaching about interdependency and noble ideal of Bodhisattva. LET US CHANGE ALL NOBLE DREAMS INTO INDESTRUCTIBLE REALITY FOR EVERYONE. May all NOBLE and MEANINGFUL INCREASE. And KEEP BARACK OBAMA´S PROMISSE A-LIVE ! With full support: OM MANI PADME HUM SHRI
That's what I am talking about. Barack you did it, knocked it right out of the ballpark. You were practically in McCain face with a knock out and proved to the world that Yes We Can take our country back. I approve this message.
Obama and Biden have a lot of work ahead of them setting things right in the United States, and personally I haven't seen anybody who I believe is more thoroughly ready to succeed in the challenge. Bless both of them!
I'm Canadian, I can't vote for Barack Obama, but if I could.. he would have my complete support. I'm very excited for the future of United States of America. GO OBAMA GO!
Mann I was touched by this speech...EVERYTHING he said is a 100% true and I believe in him. He would be the best thing that could happen to this country. He has my VOTE!!
now i know why i repect this man. in my life, i have witnessed the making of a legend. god's favor be upon you and i hope you win this election. there is no other option...
What an amazing speaker and inspiring leader. I'm so sad not to be able to vote for him. I wish I was an American and have the chance to be part of this turningpoint in history by electing Obama as the president of the USA! Greetzzz from the Netherlands!
Very good speech. I love what Chris Mathews said: "My critics will get mad at me for saying it was inspiring, but to hell with my critics." Damn straight.
Hi world, I'm a 25 year old regular normal girl from Germany and I just would like to say that I'm so inspired by this man and his eloquence, I even went to Berlin to see him speak and grown men cried afterwards. Today my dead called me: "You have to watch that Obama, it's so beautiful, it brings me to tears." I can totally relate... Oh, and watch "barack to the future" here on youtube, it's so funny and unbelievable and yet so true. There's a black nominated for presidency! Yaaay!
I know the feeling but please don't quit as if it is a done deal. Keep fighting, make it happen and work to keep this going. With any luck, we live the days of the American Camelot over again (:
He was absolutely electrifying. This man has greatness in him. He can inspire people to be the vehicles for change rather than wait on a political messiah to do it for them.
I can't understand why there hasn't been a comment yet...

Barack Obama said "thank you" or some variant thereof 31½ times at the beginning of this speech.
Count it.
OMG, I'm the first person to comment on this video.
Obama you were simply amazing. I sat down with my grandmother for 45minutes watching this historic speech. He is simply the best orator I have seen in a long time and deserves to be Americas next president!
'Thank you, thank you so much, thank you, thank you'...
NOT READY!!!
Possibly the single most amazing & inspirational moment in my life.
One of the best speeches I have ever heard, bar none. And the best moment is when he said "ENOUGH!"
I think a friend said it best, "This speech left me speechless."
Dear Future President,
You have already made history by accepting this nomination. You now embark on a unchartered path and I hope that you will continue to make history by not letting those who support you down. Godspeed and I hope to wake up on November 5th with a feeling of hope and prosperity rather than dread for my country's future.
If he is going to run the country the way he has run his campaign, OMG, the future looks incredibly bright!
Tears, Tears, and more Tears last night!This was by far the best thing I've ever witnessed or seen in my life time! Thank God for this Bro!
All I can say is that I am grateful to be alive today and be able to witness such a historic moment.
He was amazing last night....i was so touch at the end of the speech!! Yes you can
Obama!!! What an incredible speech! I am so proud to call myself a Democrat and supporter of Barack Obama.
It's almost too good to be true.
Let's take our country back! Obama 2008
I am so grateful that I am alive to see and hear President Obama. I wish that my grandfathers had lived to see this, as well as Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King. November can't get here soon enough, and I have such great hope for the future. :D
I was in awe last night. Barack you brought the house down! Hyde Park stand up! We're taking this all them way! I love you, Barack!!
I've watched this SO many times!
This is the best speech I have seen Barack give so far. He laid out his whole plan, rebutted every criticism leveled at him, highlighted the tremendous importance of this election and the issues we face, went straight at John McCain and did it all in a way that inspired anyone who watched it...even some of the most right wing bobble heads on TV were impressed. If you missed it last night, I implore you to watch the entire speech, turn up the surround sound. GOBAMA!
I had tears in my eyes, because this speech I know it might sound cliche but gave me HOPE...I have hope that my future will be a good one
Great Speech by a great candidate.
Wish you the best of luck!
i was in tears..
I was there! I am forever greatful to Obama for moving the speech to Mile High, so us regular folks could be a part of history!
This was a speech for the ages. In addition to being extremely articulate, he acknowledged the tremendous contribution of colleagues and explained how we as Americans must work together for the good of everyone through mutual responsibility and humanitarian concern.

Yes we can! We betta, after all he's been through.

This speech was truly inspiring. It was amazing.
Obama '08
Fifty years from now, this speech will still rate right up there with MLK's "I have a dream" one.
amazing. i cried multiple times.
we are driving down from Toronto to help the campaign. This was off da HOOK. Good job!
I believe in you, please don't let us down.
Inspiring stuff. I'm from Europe and it's great to hear a passionate politician. The hair's on the back of my neck really stood on end at the close.
that was brilliant, it made me cry.
Perfect, beautiful, inspiring...exactly what I (as an independent) needed to hear.
Great speech and the bio vid prior to his speech was very good as well. Very moving.
I absolutely LOVED his speech and am so thankful that I got to witness the event. A++++++++
I feel honoured to have personally witnessed this historic moment. Moved to the core.. Obama is a leader that combines softness and resolve, wisdom and compassion. A blessing to the world.
So glad I got to see this live. Fantastic speech.
such an amazing speech. Barack hit all the right points, taking aim directly at the negative tactics used by McCain. I felt like my heart was going to leap out of my chest while I watched this live. This is history, and we are living it now.
That speech kicked ass! I was glued to the TV until the very end!
Thank you so much for this speech! Holding my breath these last months were not in vain. I can exhale NOW. What a relief! Obama and Michelle, I love you guys so much!
Absolutely amazing.
Brilliant! Just had to watch it again.
I've often been a proud American, and I've occasionally been a hopeful American, this video leaves me more proud and more hopeful than I can ever recall.
Spot on! We cannot go on as a country with our heads held high without the wisdom, courage, strength and leadership of this fine man.
one of the best speeches i ever heard in my life
Simply....whoa. To say your not moved by this would simple be crazy. A truely elegant yet strong speach...
MY favorite part where I even felt like standing up and shouting was when he said, "Eight is ENOUGH!"
I did not sleep last night until 5:00 am becuase of this man. I needed to listen to this man speak even from far away Germany.
I had lost hope in this country until I watched this speech. As I listened to each line being delivered I was amazed at how much his views reflect my own. I believe in him and I believe in change. So on Nov. 4th let's do our part to bring about change. Yes We Can because Eight Is Enough!!!!
This left me speechless....absolutely amazing!!

Incredible. Thank you so much.
Truly an amazing speech. Nice to see him finally fight back against McCain.
YES!! I am 100% behind you!!
this is one of the most amazing speech i've heard in my live. i think we will need many years to repeate this moment, like it was. Gob bless Obama, Gob Bless the World.

Holy crap I hope there were a lot of people watching this speech.
Very inspiring. Let be light and love be with you and people around you.

This speech gave me chills. Another truly brilliant piece of oratory from Barack Obama. I cannot wait to hear his State of the Union addresses!
You have the singular honor of being his First You Tube voice as part of the DNC Obama Grand Moment - Good On You.
I loved his speech and all that he stands for - loved his reference to "fear and smear" - I pray that this henchmen political tactics will not bring a shameful victory to the Republicans like they did against Kerry.
38 million tuned in to watch and 85,000 people attended...Damn! I can't wait until November! I get to vote for the first time and I hope to be apart of change! Obama 08!
this was great. did feel a little sorry for how many times Barack had to say "thak you" but i guess people love him that much. Yes We Can!!!!
Am i the only one that gets goosebumps every time he speaks?
Barack Obama...if you aren't elected president I am truly afraid to think about what our country will look like after 4 more years of this. This speech inspired me, and will serve as an example to those who wish to bring change to our country.
Obama says the kind of things i didn't think i'd ever hear a candidate say. Excellent speech by an excellent speaker.
Stunningly competent! Such a contrast to what we're used to. Even the critics like Buchanan were super-impressed. Obama/Biden is the kind of talented team that comes along once in several generations if we're lucky. And at this moment, we really need them... "Enough!", is right! God bless 'em.
This speech brought tears to my eyes... Powerful and inspiring!
What a classy and extraordinary speech. I feel like this is a moment to remember forever.

simply amazing. i believe that this will be the "great speech" of our time.
This was the greatest political speech I have heard so far in my lifetime.
Obama and Biden have a lot of work ahead of them setting things right in the United States, and personally I haven't seen anybody who I believe is more thoroughly ready to succeed in the challenge. Bless both of them!
This is the time when the whole world needs Barack Obama.
I'm Canadian, I can't vote for Barack Obama, but if I could.. he would have my complete support.

I LOVE this speech. I almost cried at the end. This is the person we need in the White House.
