I cried when he was talking about his mother toward the end

[Richard]

Good video, you get the feeling he acknowldges the mistakes of the past 8 years and is looking to correct that with a new direction.

I am totally convinced he is the right man for the white house and it shows how far USA has come in 50 years

Although given he spent 3m on this.. I think given the fact US are in rescession (although they dont report it as so), seems not very.. SMART thinking..

[Wolferion]

Made me think about American people living in USA... Nice video, Obama deserves the seat more than the 2nd guy who wants to get in... I am sorry I dont remember his name, I am just not much in a political things.

...Obama deserves the seat more than the 2nd guy who wants to get in... I am sorry I dont remember his name, I am just not much in a political things.

First off: That's so awesome you don't remember his name.

Second to Richard's 3Mil thing:

Ya it's a lot of money. But in how much money he has raised total...3 mil is a drop in the bucket...seriously. This guy has broken records on how much money he has gotten for his campaign. With the majority of his donors donating on average a little under $100 (which means...that's a lot of freaking donors.)

But it also shows that, even in these hard times, people are still whipping out their pocketbooks and gambling on "change"

Which is also awesome.

[Wolferion]

I am sorry, but do me a favour. Tell me, why it's so awesome that I dont remember 2nd guys name? I'll tell you honestly this, because I am always honest : Because I live in Middle Europe doesnt mean I dont care about things happening in world. I was watching this candidates voting since Obama and Hilary. Then I heard the American economic was hardly hit and I remember well the pictures of a world-wide economical catastrophy in 1939.
Because I am a person that needs facts, not just words, I checked the candidate word battles and things like that. Obama is the one to go, not the 2nd guy, who's just using his "popularity" to get it. Hard work beats genius.
He wants to invest money from Iraq to a better health-care and economical situation, he has promising plans and he's a man that will do it. I dont live in USA, but if I did, I would vote Obama definitely.

[RaVeN]

Haha Sirion, I didn't mean it disrespectfully toward you.

I mean that the 2nd candidate is so far from being important from a world view that people outside the states don't know his name.

I'm not insulting you I'm insulting the other guy running for president haha.

(BTW his name is John McCain...but it isn't important)

And the fact that you knew Hillary's name but not his is even better

[Richard]

OKay fair enough maybe it is a smart move there

Over here he wouldn't get away with it. The thought process here would out think him, and it would be considered a bad example. But I guess its a different system

I must admit its hard not to like the guy!! He gives you confidence

I just hope he backs up what he says with some pro active changes.

I mean as much as I am not the biggest fan of our Prime Minister, it seems he has set a good template for banking crisis which most countires have now adopted.. While things are never going to be easy for a while Dow Jones FTSE etc seems reasonable at the moment.

However I dread to think what McCains actiosn would be

[RaVeN]

Me too Richard, me too.

[Wolferion]

Richard, honestly I dont want to think he did all those speeches and wont do what he plans. Of course it's possible he cant achieve all that is planned, but even most of it will be great.

[Rugg]

I <3 Barack Obama
I've got my whole family voting for him, except for my "crazy" republican cousin who won't even look at any facts that might possibly be against Mr. McCain


YES WE CAN!!!

(edit: P.S. Barack is on The Rachel Maddow Show tonight at 9 pm on MSNBC )

[Melissa]

Obama is the man!!

I just regret the feeling that there are many racist or backward thinking people who would never accetp a president who happens to not be caucasian.

Would rather pick up rifles and go shooting.

McCain is Bush III
