Obama 2012: Are you in? my.barackobama.com/bodnc2vid Barack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination for president on August 28, 2008, before 84,000 people at Mile High Stadium, in Denver, CO.
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 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
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 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.
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 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 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 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!
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.
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!
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.
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!!!!!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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
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
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!
