Follow Barack, Michelle, Joe, and their families behind-the-scenes at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. (Music composed by Greg Kuehn for Peligro Music & Sound Design)
Great background -- see Barack's personality in how he interacts w/ his girls, Michele, and how he talks about Jonas Brothers. This man will go down in history as one of our most dynamic, charismatic, and personable presidents ever. Mark my words.
And THIS is why I love Barack. when he speaks, I feel like he is being real. he really loves this country and wants it to be where it needs to be. Obama 08!
This is Sooo Soo SOoo Inspirational, I've watched it 3 times, I Love it when he seems sooo focused and deep in thought right before he takes the stage in front of Millions.
This is the nicest video i have seen in a long time. It could have been all cheesy and staged looking but it made me feel so warm inside. They are a normal, funny, down to earth family and i love the fact the 2 girls were getting the surprise visit to see the JoBros. Go Obama! Ireland supports you.
Never have I had this much hope for our future. This family represents hope for our economy, our foreign relations, our healthcare, alternative energy and all the things that are important to the American people.
I can't help but be moved and inspired by Barack Obama. The way he has brought millions of people together and has inspired a nation, is truly something that will always be remembered in history. I am proud to be living in these times, to witness a great man and a great leader.
This is wonderful, my favorite parts are when Barack is watching Michelle's speech and before he gives his acceptance speech...you can see on his face that he knows the full weight of the job he is about to do....such a courageous wonderful human being..... Obama/Biden
TRULY an inspirational individual. From inspiring children to be what they dream, to older adults trying to channel his confidence and self-awareness. I already voted for Barack. Amazing skills. Amazing.
I loved this behind the scenes look. It was wonderful. For the first time in my life (I'm a 38 year old, life-long Democrat) I am genuinely confident, and excited about the Democratic ticket. These men WILL lead us into a new era. {...}
Lol, I think it was his daughter who listens to them. It shows at they have such a strong relationship that they can discuss these things. I know my dad wouldn't care about what I was listening to, no matter how much we love each other. It's just amazing how close his family is. Truly an inspiration.
Wow. I watched pretty much all of the convention and felt great joy and hope. It seems like so long ago, but it's so uplifting to see it again now in the home stretch. Gives me the motivation to go out there and work my tail off for the Obama/Biden campaign for these last twenty something days!
Very true, you cannot fake a beautiful, sincere and loving family. Nor can you have one unless you are every bit as respectable as the family you love.
I am thrilled to share this moment in history. We are with you all the way and will stand with you during your administration. I can't wait for the election!!!
fantastic video. A president giving a backstage clip lets people get to know him "off guard", which is fantastic way to show how he acts off duty.. Love the video. Wish we could see more of these to get to know them better.
I love the last few moments -- it's great seeing how, even at a moment of great triumph, Obama and Biden still have a sense of humor, a sense of their own humanity. That's going to be a major change from the dead-certain lunatics of the past eight years. And they really enjoy working together. They're going to make a great executive team.
Love the outtakes at the end! I am so excited to see this day finally come when we can move forward into a more open and honest government! We are all counting on you Obama and Biden, don't let us down! Our future is riding on the choices and the changes you make! I know I won't turn away after this election, let us know what we can do to help once you win! Now lets get out there and vote our hopes and our hearts! Much love you guys!
Love this video ! It shows the " human touch " that Obama has always tried to show to us right from the start. May God speed him in his journey to the presidency and guide him every step of the way.
Barack,Joe,jill,michelle and all those involved in the campaign. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for the transparency and honesty. Thank you for being real.Thank you for leadership and may God give you all the insight and wisdom to bring about change for real. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. May heaven continue to smile on you
Walking out to what could arguably be the most important speech of his life, and his youngest daughter asks him what his favorite color is.....How can anyone not be inspired by this great American family?
I Think the whole world will be relieved when this man get into office. He's bringing back the great image of an intelligent and passionate leader that we neeeeeeeeeeeed
Barack Calls out the Best in many of Us. On Nov 5th the work advances, to reaching across the perceived divide to our fellow Americans who are afraid of this Change.
Beautiful, moving and real. This is a tonic after all the awful nonsense being spouted in the media. I've never been so inspired by a candidate and his team.
What a great American family they are! Our country is facing a lot of problems, it's going to take a lot of work to get us back on track, and these are the people willing to do the hard work that is needed. Great vid.
Amazing!It's nice to see a glimpse of what goes on off the stage. DNC 2008 will definately be remembered for years to come. It is one of those moments that I will remember for the rest of my life not just what I saw but the emotions that were all consuming.God bless the Obamas and the Bidens and God bless America! Obama08
Obama said it himself and I believe it with all my heart. I have put all my time and energy into this dream to make it a reality. "We are the change we been looking for." I believe that.... Change won't happen by sitting and hoping. Change is hard work to make the world move in direction you have to will it thru blood, sweat and tears. Let's go chance the world. Obama/Biden08!
Michelle is an amazing woman. It's too bad she's not part of the deciding parties in politics. She's so well spoken compared to honestly everyone on TV right now, and she's very smart.
Watching this video, I really feel like we're witnessing history in the making. Obama may lack experience, but he's so passionate about what he believes in, it really inspires me. And I feel blessed to be able to see someone who could (and hopefully WILL) be the first black president in the history of the United States. Thank you, Obama for giving a renewed hope to Americans. We can change...
probably the best piece of film yet from this channel, the Jonas bro discussion backstage was really something I would like to see McCain try to copy, and I'll bet you 5 dollars, ha ha
I feel like I am watching our generation's Franklin Roosevelt. I feel privileged to be alive at this moment in history. Although I have always been proud of my country, I have never been more proud then now.
I really feel a kinship with the Obamas and Bidens, as well as all those faces full of hope in the audience on the last night of the convention. I pray for all of us on Nov. 4.
"With profound gratitude and great humility... All across America, something is stirring... Change happens because the American people demand it... because they rise up, and insist on new ideas and new leadership... a new politics for a new time." And my favorite quote, though not in this video: "This election has never been about me. It's about you." Godspeed to November 4! Obama/Biden 08!
I am so proud to call you my next President. There is no anger in what your doing like the other candidate. You are really bridging gaps and bringing people together. I can't wait until I get to cast my vote for you in November.
What everyone said during the Primaries is true: He's the real deal. What I find inspiring is that they're people I look up to, and they hold themselves to a standard I long to attain. I can't say that about any other person of notoriety in the whole wold.
I really love this video. More than anything in the world I wish I could vote in America... because it is not just America that needs Barack Obama - we all do.
