I'm a proud conservative and this speech is so fire, this makes me proud to be an American. Great stuff
as a conservative you should be ashamed of Trumpism and todays republican party...
As a proud progressive I respect you saying that.
Like him or not, no denying that he is a great speaker. He is articulate and captivating. Always enjoy hearing him speak.
ikr ;)
Roselle Vinuya Agree with you.
airjor1 Who cares, Hillary was as equal a terrible choice. Just let it go you, why do you even care?
I’m a liberal and voted OBAMA twice and I could not vote because Hillary was as bad as Trump. First the party wouldn’t let Biden run to pave the way for Hillary. The PAID media did everything they could to discredit Bernie and he still was gaining traction after 100% bad press from CNN/MSNBC all the time. She and the DNC fckn cheated Bernie then and they all did it again a handful of months ago when they mysteriously dropped out to support Biden and block Bernie again this year. It’s a fckn TRAVESTY and a complete joke.
Thanks for ruining the video by poking your nose in something it doesn’t belong in, typical liberal. Virtue signaling and quite frankly it’s tired and annoying.
Well most Leo's are great speakers
Great speaker, terrible president
My dad told me that when he was watching this speech he called his friend, told him to turn on the tv, and that he was "watching his next president"
Cool! It's exciting that he was! smart kid! 😃
why the fucis that sad ? are you dumb or something
u salty bitch XD he is telling something nice and u hating on it ? you are the moron now
was he even old enough at that time
I was 23 years old at the time, and I thought the EXACT same thing. This guy was just too good to be true. I knew once he decided to run, the game was rigged.
even to this day, this amazing speech still moves me to tears and brings hope to my heart.
Whatever. Nobody does. Still a good speech. More eloquent and moving than any shit that is spewed from Killary or Drumpf.
Yes, I am a fool, I guess. I got much better things to do with my time than to entertain trolls online. I have a real life. Bye Felicia.
Hope*
Lol
Yeah ryt 😌
John Kerry was in the back like "Bitch you up to something"
Came to hear this speech while reading Becoming Michelle Obama in 2019. This brings me so much joy. Great family the Obamas. I miss my president.
The speech that make Obama President.
This speech [literally] changed my life. I believed in FULL potential and opportunity
"Must've been a good speech".
who ever wrote this speech deserves a Grammy
+Daniel Laiton If they gave out Grammy for a speech Obama would win, he the best.
+Daniel Laiton Even better, he deserves to be President. ")
+Garry Lafferty yeah he is like the Adele of speeches. ......(this comment would have been more relattable two years ago)
john smith My guess is Obama wrote that speech
He wrote it himself and often wrote, and or co wrote his own speeches during his administration. Hardly ever, did he solely rely on a speech writer. He actually did win a grammy for "Dreams from My Father", which is a flow of the same. You have a good literary ear, I see.
A stunning historical speech!
Actually still brings tears to my eyes, especially 12:14 to the end.
+Belfast Biker If this is the vision he pursued, but it has not been.
The president has been absolutely consistent in his platform, beliefs and values since this speech was made in 2004. The ''Audacity of hope'' rang out once again in his 2015 State of the Union Address last night - uplifting, progressive, determined and hopeful vs the depressing, hopeless alternative that the Republicans offer. I hope the president listens to this speech every once in a while and that it inspires him as much as it does others. Love this president!
emeraldeyes IF ONLY he could act as progressive as he sounds in these speeches, but he falls very short in that category.
+Brandon Smith Dont think anyone made it easier to keep those promises.
Bombed countries, deported illegals, says minorities still face racism even tho he was picked as president, even tho blacks are in positions of power , have degrees, careers, teach, police, etc etc.....just keeps pushing the narrative that in reality we are all really struggling and need Big daddy government to survive 😭🤣
This speech made me feel proud to be an America, and I'm from the UK! : )
I come back And listen to this whenever I feel sad or anxious about modern politics.
I'm reading the "promised land" and just arrived at the section where he was talking bout this speech. THIS is the speech that launched him in to presidency.
What a smart young man.
I've been watching this a lot lately.
Hassan Imam Does it help?
Once in a while we all have that turning point in our lives. And all of sudden you know this is it. That night was his and few years he was president!
It's 2024 and this speech amazingly and sadly still remains as powerful and relevant as ever.
Wild that this was just a few days over 20 years ago.
Brings some real hope in a very somber time
Guy McFeeters-Krone I'm doing the same...
One of the great American speakers. You might hate him or love him as a leader but this can’t be denied.
anyone else here because of Becoming??
Tina Me! 🖐
This is brilliant, good for him.
Skinny Kid with a funny name !!!. He's the kind of politician we need irrespective if being a blue or red state. Someone who stand for his promises. God Bless Barak Obama, God Bless USA,
A star was born
Few years before presidency as a first time candidate for senate....Obama stands as an example that Sunshine can't be blocked by clouds for long time ..That the quality of the crop is known in its early days
democrats then: oh shit we nominated the wrong guy
This has "We choose to go to the moon" energy.
the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him too!!!
yes you r right 'god bless Obama'
god bless obama
Nice chat however, how did that workout. This speech wasnt for Kerry, it was for him. Well played
To this day, tears! So powerful.
really? it was complete horse shit though. all he described was a Utopia. Its was a mirage. This country has never been any of those things. anyone who ‘believed’ or was ‘moved’ by this was a clown and a fool.
brilliant speech
Great Speech. Can't imagine a Democrat making a speech like this today.
The beginning...
Man I miss him
If presidents were allowed to serve more than two terms, I'd vote for him a third time! I'm so interested in his long-term plans. Hopefully we'll get Bernie in office this Nov. IMHO he's the best of the bunch to carry on what Obama started but kept getting stalled by a GOP Congress. I don't think I've ever heard Sanders lie outright, which seems to be a hallmark of H. Clinton's campaign.
Thanks for posting this, it's resurgence is timely.
Bitch you getting TRUMP
+H Carroll Well that wasn't very nice now was it? See why people are turning away from your hate-spewing trump?
Glenna Foreman TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP #MAKEAMERICAGREATAGAIN
+Reds1921 Lordy, another misinformed tea bagger....smh.
Reds1921 I know! Decades of progress in bringing down crime have been reversed under this administration. Both Obama and LYIN TED will face the eternal flames of HELL
My dad took me to the DNC this year and he told me: "This is the place where you will see things that you will look back on and see the importance of." He said, "I was watching Obama's 2004 speech on tv and leaned over to Karyn (his wife) and said 'that's the first black president'."
After seeing this past year's set of speeches, I can honestly say I felt the same thing when I watched Sen. Cory Booker's speech.
Amazing facility for oratory
:'( I cry evrey time.
This man is just so extraordinary. I miss having a president I can be proud.
the best
Hard work and ambition always equal to success.
Brilliant Mind
You are the best president world wide!
Wow! How did we get from this you the disruptive words of Donald Trump?
Phenomenal to this day!
My Dad never thought he would live to see a man of color in the highest office in the land. But he lived to see Barack Obama in the W.H. Now, we must make history again with putting a Women in the W.H. Every little girl should be able to see images of themselves in every office in this land.
Just because someone’s a women shouldn’t mean you should vote for them
Brilliant speech:)
you are great yong man
I was getting ready for office and watching CNN my eyes where looking for my tie in my closet all of the sudden I heard a unknown but magical voice I don't know what Happened to my I just went in front of my tiny TV in my room and with my eyes glued to the screen and mouth agape I saw this man. Then I knew it that this man in not a normal person but a revolutionary personality. Then and there I predicted he would be president in 20 years for sure but Obama proved me totally wrong getting elected as the 1st black president of America. The day he was announced as the 1st black president of America I bought sweets and distributed among my colleagues in my office. I am one of the luckiest people who witnessed the rise of Obama as a new hope in America!
Speech so good, he had to clap for his damn self! 😂
Barack & Michelle and his two daughter's has set the example for us and he is the most powerful couple world wide and the best president ever in history .thank
Had 1.1% of Ohio voters voted differently in 2004 - Kerry would have won and its quite possible that Obama would have had to wait.
my hero
It is the most impressive speach!
If we could only have him back again....
Obama asking America "Do you come here often?"
I also know that he gives a great speech in front of the public. Not only that, the most remarkable to me the most in this speech, I think, is Barack Obama's passion and firm beliefs. I believe the reason he has garnered the most attention in the history of American presidents and is still remembered is because he was African American. I think his speech about how everyone regardless of race is American is even more impressive and persuasive because he was black. Finally, I think Barack Obama is a good person both as a president and as a human. 10808 김수민
i love this.
Are you still swallowing this BS that Obama is shoveling? Surely you cannot still believe his lies after all this time.
Bumper776 oh shut up, FOX bullshit swallowing troll .
Ginny Forbes You moronic sheep, I don't have cable, that is how stupid you are. Keep drinking that Kool-Aid your Liberal handlers is feeding you.
Bumper776 What are you talking about? Obama isn't even a liberal.
Great speech. Whatever happened to this guy?
Uuuuuuuuuuuh bipartisanship happened
BEST PRESIDENT !!!
He is a genius, legend.
Who is this guy? He seems nice. He should run for president
As I was watching this speech in 2004 I knew if he were to ever run he’d get my vote and win.
Man, he was actually charming back then.
+TheMattMan095 Still is. Stop watching Trump, and perhaps you will regain YOUR sense of hope and optimism.
I'm a democrat you dumbass.
MattMan Reviews kek
MattMan Reviews still is
WOW.
[b]And no one knew then that he would become the president. Wow.[/b] It is funny that you would say that because for some reason after hearing his speech? I knew he would one day be our President!
Everyone knew....Welcome to greatness.
I just finish reading Becoming Chapter 15.
I feel like Michelle was unfortunate for marrying Barack. Her accomplishments were overshadowed by him. Obama is the star of a book that she has written herself in HER perspective
Why did he say he was unlikely to be up their at the beginning?
Best speech in our current history!!! Best president in my lifetime.
The #Presidential 'Class' we lost.
So clear to see.
Damn this speech is like. "If you smelllllLLL what ba-rack is cooking!" 😆
So you’re one of the MILLLLIIIIOOOONS……
I think it's time you left Narnia.
This is my favorite speech that made you the best president world wide !
he should run for president one day
From this speech,I knew that you are the best President world wide and you and Michelle are a powerful couple and the most beautiful family in the entier world.
The speach that made Obama President
Great guy!
He should run for president some day
Here in 2020 because we need hope now more than ever to overcome th current cycnicim based political ideology spliting our nation into two.
what a speech..hope there is a President like Obama in Korea.
Already there
Promised Land !
Who's booing him?????
Obama turned out above average president. B+
+Garry Lafferty I agree, but I would have liked to see what he would have done if he wasn't paired with the most obstructionist congress in American history. I still don't think he would have brought the systematic changes that are still needed. However, he paved the way for the next president. He will be remembered as the "Step Foward" president.
+MrBignate12345 His first 2 years, the Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate.
Martin Coffee Ya that's when ACA was past then they shut him down 2010 T Baggers
+Martin Coffee Yea but fillibusters started coming in after a couple of months into office. Obstructionism isn't just not passing any bills through one house of Congress, but he has faced an unprecedented amount of fillbusters in office as well.
I love you Barack!
Obama is the McKinley of the 2000's. Taking McKinley's off of Denali, was paradoxically, the most McKinley thing anyone has ever done.
AP Lang annotations
even John Kerry and Hillary back then knows this guy is going to be president someday
This speech makes you feel excited and privileged to be an American.
who's here after reading A Promised Land?
I actually paused to watch this
his Amazing !!! sucher beautiful words..love you Obama
black magic
kent
taking a break from the new york primary
I am so so so so so so so happy for Obama and Michelle and the USA!!
Kenya rocks!!
Is there a video of this speech in 1080 quality???
I wish he is the leader of my country Canada
Friday June 26th 2020 With my poor quality of English I had in 2004 I knew Barack Hussein Obama was going to be president of the Unites States and today I so sorely miss him even if I am a Canadian.i miss a decent President a President who talk with his head not with his ...
