Raw Video: Barack Obama's 2008 acceptance speech 

Would you consider yourself left wing or right wing?

That's because mc cain was a traitor.

@@BIGGS1 american wing. That's whats important

Exactly!... Rest in peace Mcain!... What a peice of shit Trump is, bad mouthing him after he died... Mcain was an intergrationist as well as a war hero. Trump is the ANTI-CHRIST?

Shut the fuck up

Champion Joe Biden.

You are Ghanaian.lovely

You are not alone and I still watch this on my phone every once a while. It was and still is priceless.

Obama is a Muslim

Lies again? AMWF CHINESE

Very good morning to the world family and friends with your family account number 3759

Me as well 💯

Bless you, Kirby, I also come to hear this great man's speech. Otherwise I will weep oil I can't rep anymore tears.xx

Kirby Le absolutely spot on!

he at least tried to.

Same here

It sure helps in the current political climate.

I relive a dream come true. Spectacular time in American history.

@@travisstoffs3810 , what do we have now ??? I want to break my tv after looking at this. I miss 44.

Facts

Possibly one of best orators in american history

Goosebumps 😊

So true

It's still a great accomplishment (one of many) that they handled the whole "McCain served, I didn't" thing so well that it was barely an issue.

Obama is a Muslim

John McCain is a fake POW

Rip John ... What a campaign

Absolutely my friend, tell your children and your grandchildren when you have them how important it is to vote and what this means when you don't, here in the UK the BAME people here didn't go out to vote, and what they ended up with was a far-right member of Parliament, hence the reason as to why for us who are immigrants of children of immigrants need to go out and vote no matter what

Both my parents as hard working immigrants made sure I a middle schooler was aware of this beautiful historic event. We watch this entire thing together and celebrated. 💙

The video please

This made me tear up! 😭

Biden your up next!

Yeah.

Also a child killer and war criminal, but yeah.

Yes maan

True

I'm not a fan of obama or trump. I do however miss this sort of composure our former president would bring when he spoke. Undoubtedly this is one of the most historical speeches in my lifetime. I will never forget how this made me witnessing this historical moment on a school night.. Whether he was or wasn't a great president is for history to decided. He was/is the greatest public speaker of our time though.

I agree, it's that undeniable

I hate comments that start off like that, whether you like him or not like what the fuck. If the complement isn't genuine don't give it at all.

I’m actually here after after I heard on Fox News that this one of the greatest speeches.

Yeah. We will get it back.

@@Binaryman15great response!

Conservatives love ruining the united.

Still inspired by this good Man in 2019, our greatest President!

He is saying that Obama is still inspiring, chill

Ebb and flow..... nothing lasts forever, neither good nor bad.

@bbc What has Trump done for us so far? And don't say, a "Booming Economy", because it can be proven that the Great Recession ended while Obama was in office and has been surging ever since.

Big time!!!. Times have changed, people haven't ( some people)... Justice and equality just scares the shit out of (some people)!...

wonder who humiliated Hillary more, Obama here or Trump. Tangerine for 2024!! so maybe we don't have another world war.

​@@RealColonelSanders He has a tan, if he willingly tans himself and parades around like that on the streets people can call him tangerine, orange, or whatever. Its not insulting his race, but commenting on his apperance lol.

😩🙈 emberrasing!

Lol.

coolermaster706 We dont even know tbh 😂🤦🏾‍♂️ it’s a circus

I know

He broke the American political paradigm. By striking at the core of the hearts of the vast majority of Americans, he ushered in the collapse of the Democrat and Republican parties. Our heart hasn't changed and what we're going through is the right and left figuring out how to reorient themselves after such a catastrophic shock. He awoke the populous, now different groups are trying to direct it as a revolution, regain control for the elites, or destroy the system outright. We've been here before. It looks chaotic and violent... that's how birth is. It's a beautiful but messy process.

lol

Your comment is amazing and I love it, can we be friends if you don’t mind? 😂😂😂

Same

Me too bruh. Me too.

Same here

@Jo ich doch nicht 👀

@Jo jess. sis is werri korrekt

FUCK I miss it.

I agree. Trump has to have someone translate Obama's speech to him because there were too many words with more than two syllables.

It's nice now to have a president who doesn't bend over and let the rest of the world screw us time and time again. But yeah, its great when a president can speak eloquently LMAO

caustinmois agreed. It’s sad people actually hate this dude

Live Large Yeah, so true! I 100% believe that you can inspire anybody by just saying what he said. Oh, also, don't you remember? Trump can't even read/pronounce some words that was pre-written. (I hate saying Trump, but better than appeasing him by saying president.)

GOD IS AWESOME!*

Frank DeAnda I definetly think it changed something in most people of color here for the positive. The racist backlash was so disheartening.

LOL i was a canadian living in california at that time too..i couldn't vote until 4 years later that when i got my citizenship, though i lived in Utah then so didn't vote for Obama since my vote would have been pointless anyway and voted green party... p.s fan of your son Andrew he's good at basketball

@@hockey1freak Son Andrew? Wut? Also, voting for the green party was just as pointless lol. Third parties simply aren't viable in the United States, with the exception of the very few places where ranked choice voting exists. We are a two party country, and while I hate and despise that, it's simply the reality. You have the choice of either the slightly center-left, centrist, or conservative Democrat - or you have the choice of the insanely far-right, fascist, Federalist Society Republican who doesn't even believe in something as simple as the idea of our constitution, or our democracy. That's unfortunately how our electoral politics are.

wooow

Obama is a Muslim

Your comment is amazing and I love it, can we be friends if you don’t mind? 😂😂😂

Amen I love this ❤

I'm listening for this exact reason.

am proud because his roots hails in my country krenya

Gay?

hello how are you doing

The fact that Trump was elected after Obama though, that says something. I don't live in the US, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I imagine that still, even after electing a democrat, having to pay tens of thousands of dollars for healthcare each year and having to struggle each month to make ends meet, has something to do with it. If you guys fix that, I think the likelihood of another Trump is reduced significantly. That's requires a vision, and unfortunately, I don't feel like Biden brings that to the table. I get sad whenever I think of what the world would have looked like, had Bernie Sanders won in 2016 or 2020.

@@RedBar3D You are correct, and It doesn't matter how great a speaker or speech might be, they are just words and bear no resemblance to action or reality.

Him and Reagan, sheer class

Obama paved the way for Trump. I hope I live long enough for historians to shred Obama, one of the worst presidents ever!

He kept that promise tbh

I remember i was in kenya class 6 he was celebreted

Nathalie Desrosiers I love Obama very much although I am not an American.

@@sanzidascookingstudio5470 I'm not either. But my children are. I lived in the US from 2005 (just in time for Katrina) to 2011 (just before Jindal messed too much that beautiful Louisiana).

One of those 240,000 was my college sociology professor who INSISTED on giving us an exam the following morning, despite that we were all glued to the television screens the night before. She had to spend time in class the next morning pontificating on how great the previous evening in Grant Park was, before giving us a test that the vast majority of us didn't prepare for. No grades for the exam curved. I don't know that any of us received an "A" by the end of the semester. Ergo, no straight A's on my report card means no "honors level" student discount. Needless to say, she got a heartwarming "love note" from me the morning of November 9th, 2016. She wrote me a nasty message back. Best revenge ever.

Knowing she has to suffer through Trump takes away the sting of not being one of those 240,000.

@@michael_jolls humbug.

What he did was ruin this country!

Daniel Vargas we’re more divided than ever and it’s NOT because of President Obama. Just listen to how Obama graciously shows admiration for his opponent (Senator McCain) and the sacrifices he has made for our country. Juxtapose that to President Trump attacking everyone on the campaign trail and while holding office.

@@DanielVargas-pz8so Right yeah, after everything Bush had done, HE ruined the country!

Trump is a political genius. Before he declared running for presidential election in 2016,everyone believed Hillary Cliton was the definite winner. He did many great things for American people and maintain Taiwan Straits peace and security.Big thanks for President Trump !

@David Vantress he tried to protect american values,such as intellectual rights,and protect their jobs .more than comedians in my opinion.

@@lisizchen1029 When you can't beat Joe Biden in Arizona and Georgia you're not a political genius I'm sorry .... Don't get tired of telling me about the story of the imaginary fraud it's a lie that trumpy invented because he was annoyed to have been fired by 82 million Americans.

@@cr1s1s0ff41th He is the COMMANDER IN CHEIF. Why didn’t he stop the drone bombings when he KNEW they had a 90% civilian death rate??? I’m talking about Obama, not Trump. We all know how much of a monster Trump is but no one EVER talks about Obama. He did not try, why didn’t he take Occupy’s demands? Because he was bought. Why didn’t he March with the teachers in Wisconsin or oppose the Dakota Access Pipeline??? He was BOUGHT! Get that through your head. Democrats are arguably WORSE than republicans because they lie about being better. If John McCain did half of the stuff Obama did people would be marching in the streets. Do more research instead of being hooked on MSNBC!

Hopefully someone will have recorded the session and put it up here on You Tube.
