Back when you voted for someone because you supported them, not because you hated the other guy
@@user-yv4iz7ed9c Biden called a former kkk leader a mentor a guide and a friend so who’s the racist?
@@user-yv4iz7ed9c biden is rascist, "your not black if u don't vote for me", "i don't want my kids growing up in a racial jungle", the poor kids are as smart as the white kids". Now give me a quote from trump that is rascist.I'll wait u brainwashed sheep
you don't vote for the person, you vote for the policies. voting for someone just because you don't like the other guy's behavior is beyond stupid
Sadly, that’s how most of public vote in democratic nations throughout the world
bree that’s not true. Why would someone vote for trump if they don’t trust him. I sure don’t. With the constant tweeting and complaining and arguing and lying. He’s ruining democracy and the look of america
Whether you like his politics or not, you have to admit, Obama is one of the most gifted public speakers in history.
Defimetly
Agreed!😊
+Johnny Heart
He said "one of"
blake gray I guess I agree then xD.
I agree dude.
Times were so different when we had Presidents who could talk in complete coherent sentences.
Those are the right words to define the big difference between Obama and the rest.
Are you serious? Are you even American? I know you might have been sarcastic but implying that other presidents could not talk in complete coherent sentences is ridiculous.
@@paultvshow I am American. I am serious. trump is an uneducated idiot that has no grasp of anything. He made promises he did not fulfill. He makes money by doing illegal things which he is going to jail for. He did nothing but divide my country. He incited an attack on the capitol. If you can't see these things you must be deaf dumb and blind.
Great speech talker but was some of the worst years for the working poor.but he left very rich
@@JOSEPEREZ-fc4eh Economic growth was 2% during his presidency which proves you wrong.
The Dow Jones was just under 8 thousand when he was elected and at the end it was just under 20 thousand.
I will never forget this speech. I turned to my husband and said, "He will be president one day." I never doubted the certainty I felt that night.
Wow, there was actually a time we had to choose who was better - not who was less terrible.
TEchNIcly they aRe the SAME ThING
@@TJ_Reactz I would argue they are not
Exactly both of em suck. Biden is more preferable because he supports that everyone deserves human rights. Humans rights isn’t political, and if it goes against you, it shouldn’t. If it’s against ur religion, so what? It doesn’t affect you. If it’s bothering you that people who are different from you are equal, then you are part of the problem. That’s why I’m settling with Biden, because even thought he’s not great, he’s a better option than trump and will always be better.
That says alot and it should never be. To choose which one is less terrible or worse would still result in failure or people being affected in some way.
@@fayestruble8879 I agree I was just joking
"No one knew who this guys was"
Everyone in the crowd holding up an Obama sign
Cuz he was literally a candidate at that moment
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think they were talking about the big mass
And nobody will forget

I’m from the UK and i got a sense of american pride just listening to this
A perfect storm is brewing in the United States. Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place.
Government policy has thrown the future under the bus for decades. The day of judgment is near. I predict an 80% drop in the stock market. Investors will abandon stocks in favor of real estate. There will be no money in banks... You must devise a strategy for survival.
These are the conditions in which life-changing money is made by those who remain calm, patient, and take controlled risks. Volatility goes both ways. The bigger the red candles, the bigger the green ones.
it's a good time to buy and basically I've just got cash sitting duck in the bank and I'd really love to put it to good use seeing how inflation is at an all time-high, who is this coach that guides you, mind I look them up
I'm really worried about the current bank crisis. If a bank as big as SVB could fail, I fear for a lot more. I know a friend who is running a high-growth startup, and was badly hit by the bank run. I have pulled out more than $340k from my bank. After all, the FDIC covers only up to $250,000, and the implosion could have bad effect. Looking to invest into the stock market now. Does anyone know how I could go about it?
@@owenchrisgeorge2254 He appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran a Google search on his name and came across his website; thank you for sharing..
I was visiting my father in the nursing home when we watched this speech together. He pointed at the screen and said "There's your first black president right there." He died 3 weeks later. It seems a lifetime ago-and it was.
I'm sorry for your loss.My Mom loved Obama,she died 7 months ago at 90.
My condolences for your loss. My mother passed away this year. I'm so glad she lived to see the first Black President. Your father was so right!
He pointed at the most corrupted president in the world.
@@GlitchedPepsi Really! I think he is a good human being.

yeah true
Obama is one of the most gifted public speakers in history
Obama’s wife is an awesome Speaker as well !
I'm not even American... But I'd vote for Obama.
“The hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes America has a place for him too “
Hearing him say that got me all choked up
That hit me the hardest
I heard this speech when he gave it, and said "the hell with Kerry, let's nominate this guy!"
he was referring to himself. he was an also an outcast.
thats a good line fr
Nice thing about Obama was that "He did not read much of his speeches, HE spoke freely..
Shit became a joke my friend. Wish we could just head back to 2008 and run those 8 years back. This new shits wack
things were so nice back then
Americans have a strange way of dealing with presentations.
Wasn't Obama notorious for reading off a teleprompter?
Speaking freely while using a teleprompter? how does that work?
My understanding of people with a message like Obama's is that even if you are on the other end of the political spectrum, you are able to see in him and can be seen by him a human with ideas worth sharing and a live worth living. He was the one giving a speech at McCains funeral, praising his accomplishments and seeing in him a role model despite all the disagreements. We should bring that back.

The most powerful speech I’ve ever heard. Barack we miss you . "THE AUDACITY OF HOPE.'' That gets me every time..
Amen...😊
The worst President!
I forgot how young he appeared before the 8 years of presidency
Conservatives aged the hell outta him
Hakim Lotoro It was probably just BS from both sides.
IloveCzechRepublic facts 😤
@@Septiccatgaming it's sad that government now is just everyone attacking each other rather than focusing on actual issues
Mrblopscotch That’s why, in my opinion, Obama was one of the best presidents. He did his best to try to change the country the way he saw it better. Most conservatives seem to think he was a horrible president or just OK. He tried to do good for our country, but I guess we can never agree on anything in this country.
"The hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes America has a place for him too" best speech

As a American. Who sat as a child watching this in its whole. Am so glad that a Korean from a land known for its love of theyre own nation enjoyed our patriotism. This speech had inspired my love for the nation and world we live in. I proudly stood at attention during your national anthem while touring S.Korea. So kindly support us untill another speech like this graces your ears. Stand by us as we go through the pains of our nation because by my own flag Id hope to be called to help hoist yours in hope to never need to. God bless our countries and livelyhood. To a world of peace and tranquility.
The Best of them of all... Best Speaker... God bless you Barrack Obama

Better than Trump
You're also clue-free. Obama's speeches are straight from the mouths of lobbyists to deceive the ignorant.
@@blockmore1 You're an idiot. Trump was out-spent by over 40% by his opponent, while Obama bought the elections each time. That's the REAL measure of a candidate. Anyone can BUY an election.

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life beause I invested early ahead this time .
The rich Invest in alternative income streams that are independent of the government should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. Stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment...
I thought about investing in the financial market, I heard that people make millions if you know the tricks of the trade, but I lack good knowledge and a strategy to outperform the market and generate good yields. I have $160,000 but it's hard to bite the bullet and do it.
Having an investment advisor is the best way to go. Based on a direct encounter with a CFP named Kate Elizabeth Amdall, I can say with certainty that their skills are excellent. She helped raise over $580,000 in 18 months from an initially stagnant portfolio of $150,000
Fantastic! can u share more details?
I was "dial spinning " when Obama started this speach and his first words stopped me in my tracks. I'm Canadian. I don't watch American political conventions but this was something special. It seemed to me that he was being groomed for something big. In 2008, I knew he would get the nomination and that he would win. I've never been so sure of any election outcome. America was never going to pass up the chance to elect a black candidate to the presidency. The fact that he is a brilliant, honorable man is a bonus. It would be interesting to know the number of people who voted for him who had never voted before.
It was my first vote. We had a party on election night and I hugged my girlfriend at the time out of joy, then eight years later when trump won I left early and went home and got drunk.
“There is no liberal America, there is no conservative America. There is the United States of America”
We need this more now than ever
There is liberal American...The Bible didn't.. co-operat with liberal..American please Come to God where You borne..

@@theanonymousplayer Obama care is just another money grabbing leach on society. I agree, everyone should have heath care. But why should hard working America have the weight on their back paying for lazy people who choose not to work. Literally I can't afford health insurance. I don't qualify for government help. But I still pay for slackers who don't do anything but sit around and complain about how hard they have it. This system is broken. It does not encourage work. It discourages work and replaces it with entitlement. Then to top it off almost every politician is a millionaire. Here we are out here fighting each other. Are we fighting the right fight?? Overtaxed and struggling to survive. Think about IT????

Good times, when the president did not speak on a fourth grade level.
I've never seen 2 comments representing each of their parties so accurately before
@@oremstale8558 Obama was far better at deceiving gullible Americans as the bankers and neoliberals' tool. Trump is more transparent.
@@Citadin Is that why Trump has made more than 18,000 false or misleading claims?
@@MakiVerem12345 none of these claims has cost as much as the Obama bankster $10 trillion bailout, or cost as many lives as people killed in Syria, Yemen, Honduras, Haiti or Libya that Obama raped and destroyed.

So, This is what the president sounds like.
...AND THEN YOU WOKE UP... TO PRESIDENT TRUMP... MAGA2020
Trump got elected specifically because of how bad Obama ran the country.

@@lariosmendoza It absolutely was NOT bullshit. He did strive for a united America, unlike the POS in the WH now. (not for long, tho!)

Yeah, I never appreciated Obama's leadership until now. He really did help unite the country at a time of great stress for everybody. Even his speeches during BLM protests were on point. He understood that nothing is black and white. So many people forget that Trump is just obsessed with Obama and his legacy. It really shows his true colors and I never understood why anybody would support trump. Then again being the first black president and helping legalizing gay marriage was probably the straw that broke racist/religious America's back.
It’s super unfortunate that we have let this country divide as badly as it has. It’s disgusting the way people talk to other humans, it’s pathetic how we have taken huge steps backwards. The system is broken now and we need a leader who wants to mend this country, not embrace the hate. Trump embraces the hate, he wishes death upon those who oppose him. It’s disgusting and sad that people follow him without question. Everyone should have 3-5 year plan to get out of this country. It is falling.

@@TheWrestlingful No shit running a country is stressful one wrong move could kill millions.
@@jamesb3623 Dude he's a pastor he's not an atheist like you and I bet you can't prove god doesn't exist.
@@deebeefr yeah I know but it's the same bothways why shove ones believes in a comment section when no one asked for it and has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
I saw this live. Had never heard of him. Such a unique name… it was very memorable. Pure inspiration for everyone to do better. Be better. That’s good leadership.
Hello
Wow! The way you put it, it says it all and a lot at the same time. Not knowing who he was, yet being spiritually uplifted to do better, must have felt like something that you as an American needed at the time. I am glad that you gotta experience that in first hand. 😇
A pretty speech, yes. But Obama did not practice what he preached. It was all an image.
@@jasonbender2459
Your " chosen.one." WTF is wrong with you?
He fucked the economy. Did nothing for blacks. Has a racist wife. Did nothing special during presidency. Shit President
I feel like I'm standing on the Titanic now, and just put on this clip to remind of the good old days of dignity and hope.
This speech threw my brain into joy. Oh man! ❤
Back when a President could actually speak fluently, eloquently. 5 years of Trump has many nostalgic for these moments.
@@Cooliewhistles new try in 2024 lmao
5 years? You're beyond stupid. Trump as done more for the United States than almost any president ever. You hate him why? He built the wall? He told NATO to go F themselves? You have no clue about the world. Honestly. Please stop talking about things you have no clue about.
@@eb2957 he's still a ass president in my opinion
@@eb2957 your glorious Trump was friends with Epstein, gave the rich tax breaks, wanted to cut down on providing free meals to hungry children, encouraged people to inject themselves with lysol, discouraged wearing masks, and many other asshole things. Just leaving this out there
@@eb2957 lol yikes trump supporter. Trump is literally one of the worst Us president in all of US history 😂. Stop smoking plastic
Let me give you my opinion as a Canadian. This man was the epitome of The United States’s strength in the world. His confidence, his eloquence when he talks, the way he carries himself, the respect he had for others, and the empathy without lack of strength that defined his communicational dominance. If you leave politics out of it, and simply analyze the characteristics of Obama and your current president, you can see how the US has lost its international respect. When I was growing up, I (like many of my peers and fellow Canadian citizens) viewed the US as larger than life. You branded yourself the greatest country in the world; and regardless of our national pride, we could understand why. You had the country where dreams could come true. Where you could make it big, get rich, get more opportunities than anywhere else. Canada, as well as the rest of the world, looked up to you. While Obama did not represent the political views of every American citizen, his persona reflected your ideals. His strength and power of speech was a representation of the power you had internationally. But now; in 2020, that is gone. The world no longer looks up to the United States. A country that had long thought to be the strongest, the best, the wiser older brother, is no longer on top. A country once at the forefront of the expansion of scientific knowledge reduced to arguing scientific credibility. We still talk about your country, but largely to mock your current state of affairs. What was once an “I’m glad we are so close with the United States” has become an “I’m glad that I’m not a citizen of that country”. Truly cruel fate from being at the top of the podium. A once magnificent wildfire of red white and blue diminished to a small flame, an unfortunate fall from grace to be sure. While we still understand your strength, we have lost that respect that you had deservedly earned in previous years. Donald trump, whether you agree with his views or not, is not a man that the world respects. His presence, his persona, the way he carries himself is a testament to the overwhelming divide that plagues your country. An unfortunate time in a prestigious history to say the least. All is not lost, but I’m afraid that Biden as a personality is not much different. My hope for you from an American supporter is that your flame will burn high and mighty once again, and those stars on your flag will signify your astronomical world strength once again in the future.
Obama was indeed something else. Now the US need to pick between Trump and Biden.....OMG. Either way....Putin and Xi Jinping would say "Mehhhhh"
-greetings from S'pore 🇸🇬
Very well said and I 100% agree as a Brit
Agree as a Czech!
Not agree in US, he’s created this devided nation. Sad
This is the essence of what I feel now, as a romanian kid, far away from the stars and stripes. During the Obama administration, which thankfully was ongoing during my formative teenage years, I have garnered a great respects towards the United States of America, due in no small part to Barack Obama. Now say what you will about his dijon mustard and his dad jeans, but we've had it easy with him at the helm of the world. I thank him for being my "adoptive president", as I would probably be a different man today without him showing me what a true leader can be capable of. Nevertheless, my love, admiration and respect for the US has slowly been eroded by what I feel has been a shift from truth, "factual" science and democracy towards lies, "religious" science and autocracy. We, both the american people and the rest of the world, have not had a day off in 4 years and, regardless of who wins this election, the frustration continues. The US's reputation has been irreversibly tainted by the unceremonious display of ignorrance, insensitivity and dishonesty at the highest level in the land. Let's hope it gets better but remember, it might never be as good as when a skinny kid with a funny name held office. Honestly, thanks, Obama.
Oh boy. We miss these times. God bless us all. Worldwide. One love.
( I remember THOSE 8 yrs! There were great 👍😁🌟 YEAH!)
He's good at public speaking. He should get into politics.
Back when everyone wanted to go and live in America
Nah
Many people in my country (Denmark) still see Americe as the land of opportunity

Soo true

I remember this speech. I watched this speech. I watched this man from Day One. I remember after this speech, I was so excited that I called my best friend at the time (now deceased) all excited and said. "This Black Senator just lit it up at the Democratic National Convention. I don't remember his name--he had this funny, Arab sounding name--but he was good looking and he is the FUTURE! I didn't realize he was the present!
As an european im absolutely certain that he will go as one of the best presidents in the history of USA.
sure. *LET ME OUTLINE HIS RECORD.* the debt was doubled to $20,000,000,000,000 since he took office. the USA is now -- by far -- the most indebted country in the world. record 100,000,000 not participating in the labor force. record 50 million on food stamps. record 1/6 households with no one working. record 1/5 men either incarcerated or not working.record student loan debt now exceeding $1 trillion. record credit card debt now exceeding $1 trillion. 70% of households have no access to $1k for emergencies. 48% of households have no access to $400 for emergencies. record child poverty. record household poverty of 50 million. never in USA history has GDP not increased more than 3%, excepting the last 8 years. record low home ownership. the USA is currently engaged in 5 wars, creating a displacement of 10s of millions in the middle east. 500,000 children in the middle east were killed in those wars. in the USA criminality has spiked. crony capitalism has spiked. surveillance abounds. posse comitatus was suspended ... the country is on the verge of Civil War.
*YOU IDIOT!*
***** Cherypicking shit out of context does not make a valid political point
Marcus Aurelius you are a fucking moron
Obama increased debt by 36% bush 45% and Reagan 190%
Dan THE UA-cam GUY Trump never addressed our debt. It will be larger when he leaves.
5:03 got me almost tearing up...he got my vote at that part. "The hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him too."
Hi

So you voted for someone based off what someone else wrote for him? Says a lot about you
@@MichaelJ44 hehe 😁 Mr. Putin why so emotional
@@MichaelJ44 He wrote his own speeches until he became president.
What a Tear Jerker ! No I meant what a Jerk Off !

Flashback! How smart you're !! It doesn't matter whether you like politics or not. You have to praise about this God gifted public speaker. What do you mean ?
