10 years later and I remember that Monday so vividly… and what an amazing speech. Truly one of the greatest to ever lead this nation 😢
"No more hurting people." Rest in peace, little man. Thanks for your message, Martin Richard.
Obama used to bomb countries in the Middle East approximately 71 times a day !
Then San Bernandino shooting in California occurred,
Wonderful speech. I can hear his speech every single word, even I'm not good at English and I didn't read a script. I can symphathize with his and all Bostonians' feeling, even I'm living in Korea.
Incredible speech, he gets it just right: love, compassion, resolve. He is such a gifted communicator.
It's like the speech he is so far more important and effective compared to the things he's done to America Good and Bad, changes or mistakes he has made regardless
Obama's best speech.
The eulogy he sang Amazing Grace is a close second.
18:40 is exactly how you beat terrorism. I haven't agreed with with many of his policies, but this Irish-American Bostonian can safely say Barack Obama is the greatest president of my lifetime
You must be very young
Doc Hogan don’t listen to silver Obama did make some questionable and bad decisions but he also did a lot of good as well
@John Grit out of curiosity why do you feel FDR is the worst in history?
@@TheSilverPhoenix100 three years later, Leo’s statement means more than ever, coming from a center-right guy here
Even though i don't particularly like Obama watching him speak is truly a privilege. Excellent public speaker.
you're wrong. he's the best go the best.
18:30 - 19:05... absolutely amazing.. I'm a die hard conservative but this was one of the best speeches I have ever heard.. INCREDIBLE!
Note to all the Trump apologists out there: this is what a President sounds like.
Ya not saying something like “I’m gonna bomb the shit out of them”towards ISIS
Not what a president sounds like...what a real, genuine, compassionate man and LEADER sounds like.
All the mean tweets and such;)
I am sorry but I got here after watching Patriots Day....A very deep and meaningful movie for me.. My heart goes out to the victims, though it has been 3 years.....
Leon Yap me too..
Leon Yap movies barely ever make me cry Patriots Day did I’m from Boston and I have lots of Boston Pride Go Boston!!! 🇺🇸🇨🇮
same i heard a bit of the speech in the movie and wanted to hear the whole thing.
yeah just watch it today too
It has been 6 years now!
Nobody gave a better eulogy than President Obama....nobody.
I was on exchange from Japan, I was in Oklahoma, I remember our teachers evacuating the school when it happened, students gathering at the local theater, hugging each other praying. I remember how the city erupted in cheers when the second suspect was caught
Very well said, Mr. President. And to my fellow Bostonians, I am proud to be among you. We endured and showed the world our true grit.
Wrong city to mess with back then. Wrong city to mess with today.
My english teacher has used this speech so many times to teach her lessons. I ain't complaining. I think that it's Obama's best speech.
This particular speech is not about politics or policies. This is about those who have been hurt, those who have died, and a city that is in shock. You cannot deny that President Obama did a tremendous job. I live near Boston, go there frequently, and this is what I needed to hear.
I miss his leadership.
President Obama gave a great speech. He managed to portray strength and resolve, yet displayed compassion and sensitivity. Just what you'd hope for from your nation's leader.
I remember watching this when I was still in middle school this speech hit me hard then and even now
I don't care who wrote the speech. A speech is nothing without a great delivery, and the president really delivered that one.
The President gives a speech in a prayer service for those affected by a terrorist act, and some people still cant help but take it as an opportunity to say that Obama is the face of cruelty and evil. That's whats wrong with this country, not the guy in the White House. Hes the best orator we've had in the White House in decades. Why not admire his good qualities instead of bring up more unnecessary negativity. #BostonStrong
Watching this in 2022....
I miss this man, he was so caring and so well spoken. Genuine president who cared about everyone in this country
Love back from Boston, MA. Thank you.
I'm a hard core conservative and lifetime Republican but this moment here will forever earn President Obama my respect for how he gave my home city hope and strength again during our darkest hour. This was, in my opinion: his 2nd greatest speech after his address to the nation following Bin Laden's death.
(Side note: at 18:31 Obama calls it: Red Sox won the World Series that year and the Bruins came within 2 games of a Stanley Cup) lol
Pats also won the next super bowl. The sports teams were playing for something else. And thank you for not being ignorant like most people in these comments. You don't have to like his policy but he was a true leader and a great public speaker.
I speak for Canada when I say we feel with and for you. God Bless those people in Boston and all those who were effected by it, which is all of us.
This may be Obama’s finest hour.
this is a man who truly understands the fabric of what it truly means to be an american. it amazes me how he able to articulate exactly what the usa stands for
“It’s one of americas iconic cities. It’s one of the worlds great cities.”
I watched Patriots Day and now I'm watching this speech by Former President Obama on what happened 4 years ago. It's sad what a lot people lived through after the Boston Marathon Bombing. My prayers go out to all of the victims who were injured because of the bombings and i pray for the people who were killed on the day of the bombing and for the family Sean Collier, the police officer who was killed after the Boston Marathon Bombing
just finished watching patriots day and i’d like to say man, it’s so difficult to be president, but obama was amazing. i sincerely hope that trump does not get voted again.
kaylen IM WATCHING THAT RIGHT NOW
“Bet On It.” - President Obama
A glorious speaker, a brilliant man with a great heart and every word chosen well, carefully and delivered by this glorious man.
try turning on your HD...bud. his eyes get more and more watery as his speech goes on and at 18:13-18:15 you can clearly see a glistening tear at the corner of his eye
No politician writes their own speeches all the time. However, President Obama is known for writing a lot of his. Wth does that have to do with the sentiment and purpose of the occasion??
Of course they have speechwriters but I get the sense that Obama was speaking from the heart and put much of his own thoughts into this.
“He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason” M.T. Cicero 106 BC-43BC
Like Obama or not this entire speech wasn't about politics or anything having to do with it. This was about Boston...this was about a great American city that suffered a tragic wound to it's core. This was about the families of those three people that died senselessly. Please don't turn this thread into something about Obama whether or not you like him, what he did here today what he did with this speech was touch the hearts of those who needed it. AWESOME JOB OBAMA. Help us get our spirits back
hot damn he knows how to speech!
WHY CAN'T PEOPLE KEEP IT SIMPLE BY COMMENTING ON THE ISSUE??? I CAME HERE TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE REALLY THINK ABOUT THE SPEECH...WHAT I GOT IT'S JUST INSULTS....BE CIVIL, PLZZZZ.
It's so sad that some people are more concerned about who wrote this speech than the reason why this speech had to be wrote! It's such a non important issue given that people have lost their lives to another senseless tragedy! If you don't like our president then please vent your hatred elsewhere, this really isn't the place or time for more hatred.
Very solid speech from President Obama. I miss his leadership in 2020.
Oh and just to let you know, I'm a high school history teacher and I teach Current Events as well as several US History classes. So I stay pretty well informed. Hope you have a great day and learn some respect for your country.
There is no teleprompter. He is reading from a script, on paper, placed in front of him. Even if he is using one, it's the words that matter.
Very good inspiring speech!
I thought this was a fabulous speech spiritedly delivered by a President I admire.
This was a unique speech written only yesterday specifically for the people of Boston by a speech writer born at St. Margaret's Hospital in Dorchester, MA. He wrote it from his heart, with his own 8y.o. son & 5y.o. daughter in mind.
Put your nastiness away. Today was about the optimism & strength that healing & recovery brings. May you all find your unique need for healing of heart & soul.
“Not here in Boston…not here in Boston” will always get me 🫡
I didn't vote for him but I would after this speech. Great speech! Great delivery!
Will also say that I live in Illinois which anyone who knows of the state of Illinois knows that they can’t have a decent governor so if I were to be able to afford it I would seriously up and move from Illinois and move to Boston because that is where I feel like I would be able to do some good personally in the sense that I could really help a community in a time like this.
Help me on my assignment the question is : wat verbal cues were used in the speech 😂
We need those too. 😂😂
+Karl Ryan Valencia wth 😂😂😂 where u fromm
+Nöpe Philippines
+Karl Ryan Valencia me toooooo bwahahahah
+Nöpe galing ba sa vibal yung books nyo?
He does write his speeches or contributes significantly to them as much as any other president and more! Stop trying to take unnecessary shots and keep America divided!
Agree! Love from the Philippines... Rise and Fight BOSTON!!
How do you know?
After running Boston twice I love this speech!
I definitely agree with everything you say there. As much as I rant sometimes, and as irritated as I get at some people, I know that there's not a simple button to push or road I can go down that will fix it all. I just want everyone to be aware of exactly that, that we need something extraordinary to happen to fix this all. I'm just a little anxious as to what that will be. Sorry if I offended you.
doesn't really matter, he could easily write this (we all could), having spent quality time here. I dont think theres any doubt, We Bostonians know he's speaking from the heart. It's obvious to us, it's deeply personal to him. Liberal Boston area is beautiful, special (esp in the darkness of terrorism), & beloved, he gets it. Anyone who has spent quality time here knows, boston is easy to love & defend.
Boston STRONG!
No negative posts can take away from our pride. We need to come together. Not pull apart. Remember, united we stand. Not as democrats or republicans. But as citizens of this nation. Despite our differences, we are all in the same boat. Like it or not.
That was a powerful speech.
Where was this speech held?
Cathedral of Holy Cross. Boston
Was this a second...or third Boston massacre?
I really disliked Obama. Being from Boston, I wouldn’t pick anyone else to speak this speech. Thank you. God bless.
Whether you liked him or not, he was a wonderful public speaker and he said exactly what the city needed to hear after these events.
This is not a time to make political statements. This is a time to come together and reflect on what happened. Please keep your negativity to yourself.
amazing. This is one of the president's most endearing quality: being able to inspire and calm his people. great speaker.
Honestly don't believe anyone else wrote it. He lived here, met michelle here.... It's hard to believe 2 young guys who were priviledged enough to grow up in & hurt THEE most liberal place in the USA. Anyone who knows this place knows this is one the few places they can be truly accepted & listened to. This place has always had a university style attitude towards ALL opinions! That's not something you lob a bomb at! Thats CAVE MAN BLIND HATE FOR ATTN.
1 LIFE
Stop talking bad about him. He's not a bad person. Leave him alone!!!
I'm from Boston and it was very personal. It's probably a good thing we don't know who did this yet cuz I think the entire city of Boston would come after them.
what did incite the bombers to commit that?
What could have happened if the were deported? Could this have been prevented such atrocity ?
What is the name of the actor that plays the president? Did he also play in "The fast and the furious" and "Crocodile tears" ?
You are so ignorant, I hope you are forgiven
Are you really that small minded? Obama works closely with his writers and writes many of his speeches. Do you think he has time to write everything? Even Mitt Romney was big enough to praise this speech. And a great speech it was in of time great need. Let the healing begin.
ну че кто переведет?
This huge country has fallen so low. Who's next? New York-Iraq, Boston -?
Magnificent speech.. such a terrifying event...
they didn't show him wipe a tear away at very end. ...it's personal
im criying omg...
Oh ye who is so wise. Thank you for being here.
Why Thanks.. Nice to find like minds when it comes to this volatile 'subject'.
Out of existence would work, But I am pumped up with the lord's spirit today. Bless you brother. Watch out crossing streets.
speeches like this give me hope that the u.s. will survive the mish mash of politics that we have now.
Would he have made this heart-felt speech if it had happened in Dallas? Just asking.
Yes.
Have to say that even to this day my heart is with the people of Boston and that if I was him when he says in his speech not here in Boston a couple times I would have amended that to say not here in Boston not here in this country. Would have also quoted the sergeant of the Watertown please department at the time of this event when he said basically something along the lines of if you terrorize our people and our cities don’t be surprised if we come back at you. I know that Mr. Obama said that people who do these kinds of actual face justice but I would’ve still have said what I said in the previous sentence.
I am a Bostonian! I am not affiliated with the president or the Democratic Party !! But I love this speech and have shared it and believe in it!!! Great job Obama!!
meanwhile former president 45 message for easter was: WORLD WAR III , how times have changed huh
And it's not even HIS speech. A team of writers composed that for him.
Hiroven I’d like to see you deliver that 20 minute speech like he did lmao
Thanks
I live beside Watertown i was in 1 grade I was on a field trip court 4 room where he was sentenced to the death penalty
Kaeden Oloughlin What?
Joseph Sasso 😂
Erm...?
I grieve along with our president for the 3 victims murdered in Boston, especially the 8 year old child.
I just ask the president to also grieve with me for the 800 innocent Pakistani civilians, including 168 children murdered in the 193 drone strikes he has authorized over the last 4 years in Pakistan alone.
Can you tell me the last president that memorized his speaches? It sure as heck wasn't Bush. It was Jimmy Carter, yeah that is right, the peanut farmer from Georgia was/is actually a genius which is WAY more than I can say for your intellect!
CISPA, can you explain that and how it's necessary Mr.Obama?
Americans should be proud of obama and stop trash talking him. You should have a president like mine that runs out from a fight that spends 2 times more than a king while the people is starving. ( Portugal)
Powerful speech from President Obama. ❤️😓❤️
I wish we could just have Obama as a president until he doesn't want to do it anymore like that's how it should be as long as America agrees with that and they would of course because he was the greatest
whydafuq am I required to listen and make a essay on this?
when I'm not even american or near america???
smh school system
Ez
Hey what verbal cues are used in the speech?
This man has an drone strike app on his iPhone !!! Don't listen to him
give credit where credit is due .....to his writers.....especially when he came up on the podium and said HELLOOOO BOSTON!!!! like he was at one of his pep rallies or a fundraiser...yeah such compasion....what a show
We Bostonians appreciated it.
@@jod6984 I hope you Bostonians appreciate what's going on now
When the haters are more fakers than the mainstream media ...
Guys pa tulong ano mga verbal at non-verbal cues nandito sa vid? Comment sa baba. Shout out mga G10 na Pilipino.
Ako rin kaylangan ko ng tulong para sa grade 10 english
Samee
so is your response
listen to what the president said in his speech. have faith in your fellow man, that includes having faith that americans will continue to be open minded and not judge based on religion
This is personal. Obama has spent time here, met michelle here... he obviously has come to love our great city as we have.
Boston strong!
1 LIFE
Obama is an amazing an inspirational man! Pray for Boston
One of the best presidents has ever been elected. Time will tell,,Americans are very lucky to have him.
