0:00 Obama declared winner
4:49 Obama victory speech
It’s truly shocking that the country has gone from that to the scary mess that we have now in such a short time.
Because a certain right wing political party hates the idea of diversity and democracy.
It's just unbelievable, Trump started it cause he was so jealous a black man was elected
He was a mess himself 🤷🏽♂️
Yes , immediately after Obama was rigged as president !
Bush incompetence opened the door to Hope and Faith Obama. Well unfortunately Obama brought the backlash of Resentment, Anger and Corruption Trump.
One of the greatest victory speeches in the history of US politics.
I remember this DAY like it was yesterday. What a historic day! ❤
I remember this. Better days than now. Not just the fact that Obama won, but that there were two respectful, dignified candidates.
i was 9 years old & vividly remember sitting on my moms bed watching this on tv trying to translate it for my mom !
Aw where you from?
@@koaoqa9655i think he’s from America.
If it hadn't been for the insecurity and hatred of some, this Man would have accomplished a lot!
Thank you Mr President.
It’s depressing knowing how much optimism people felt and the last 15 years have been hellish.
Since Obama was planted as president.
Because he started it lol
Thanks to the right wing..
The cia put him in power now you can say people elected him? People are deceived and manipulated the feeling of optimism is induced through cia mind control called proyecto mk ultra
@stjeremiah 2017 to 2021 was a nightmare.
He's an incredible orator. He forever inspires me whenever I listen to his speeches.
We were still united at that time. It was a happy time.
Exactly ! but Obama changed all that.
@@47tooterhow did Obama change it?
By stoking division ! every time he talked he bashed America !
and every time his husband talked he bashed White people !
Obama had the border open from day 1 also !
To get rid of White people ! He promised to transform America and he meant the color ! Obama poisoned the Govt. with thousands of " Appointee's " ! and that's why we have a corrupt F.B.I. !@@dthrust9037
Every progress is met by backlash, that's the night the right wing lost their freaking mind. First edition was the tea party morphed into the MAGA lunacy we see today. We all know why, nativist politics. what!!!! America is becoming too ethnic, we can't have that!!! It's so transparent but they'll tell you that's not the case. The dude walked on eggshells for 8 years and they still managed to demonize him call him out of his name.
@@dthrust9037that's all they have projection.
8:11 Love that he actually did work with McCain and enough respect was built between them that he spoke at McCain’s funeral.
McCain called Obama and specifically asked him to give a eulogy at his funeral when he knew he was dying. I have a hell of a lot of respect for McCain and Obama 🥲
@@Marvmoney777They’re two incredible men and presidential candidates. True class acts.
👍🏿
Yes We Can, Yes We Did!
One of, if not, the greatest statesmen of the twenty-first century!
Historic night for the United States in 2008.
Rigging a Muslim for president right after 9/11. thanks Soros.
Still lives fresh in my mind.
One of the greatest speeches! Barack Obama is such a talented orator! Very charismatic!
Even more than 15 years later, this speech is healing and a soothing balm. I do 💝listening to President Obama speak! Always so eloquent and on point.
However, this single event made some in America lose their tiny minds! 😂
One of the greatest nights of my life.
The greatest fright in my life.
My mom and I watched this live and we just lost it. I was 17 and couldn't vote yet but Barack Obama was and will always be my president.
It's so sad how we have fallen and divided in our nation today.
Such an amazing night!!! Obama was the best president of my lifetime. I’m 32 now. Will never forget him.
One of America's greatest moments greatest Presidents & greatest first ladies 💟 Vote 💙 2024
I came back here to listen to this speech in its entirety. To relive what it was like in that moment. It never gets any less remarkable.
Truly one of the most significant moments in American history. And I don’t say that lightly.
We went from that to trump 😭
I feel sorry for you if you think Obama did a better job than Trump. Get out of your feelings and wake up🤦🏽♂️
It's racism dude, @@Thomas-dy5xl
We were better off under Obama and Trump, Biden not so much.
@@Brad02526Biden and Obama have had way better presidencies under almost every metric. Republican presidents are historically a joke since the 80s, especially Trump. Facts over feelings
@@Thomas-dy5xl…
I recited this whole speech on my junior secondary school graduation speech. Everyone was surprised that i said a speech that was contrary to the ceremony. But i wanted them to know that a poor child like myself whose family never made it to high school became the first person to attend a graduation.
What an earth moving victory.
When life was good
Watching this speech in 2024, I’m shocked how we went from a President like Obama who spoke with thought and humility to Trump who is terribly petty and disrespectful to anyone who doesn’t share his views
What happened? I really can’t understand it😢
I remembered this historic night so clearly, and it was right in the middle of a severe financial crisis at that time.
I remember that night and the unity of our people. Listening to his speech again and thinking how could our country be where it is now?
I remeber PResident Obama being elected. I was to naive at the time to understand the significance. I'm so happy this man was President. My sister struggles with depression, if not for Medicaid, I'm not sure how she would've gotten the medication she needed. Thank you, President Obama, for helping my sister.
When America was united, and hate was smothered.
Both Men where great as Presidents, both had moral, degnity and wisdom... how could America become that worse and weak inside? I wish we could turn back Time...
Its was special nite hard to forget will go down to history book forever
I wish he could run for president again.
I always enjoy listening to his speech.
I was 4 years old in a Subarb of Chicago, and grew up with the best president ever. YES WE CAN!!
I'm sitting here watching this speech in 2024, and balling my eyes out how we took two steps backwards after him to one step forward with Biden and, some Americans don't want to keep moving forward!! They should run this speech on national tv daily as a reminder before the election in Nov!!!
YOU'RE BLESS WITH KNOWLEDGE
Obama is a kind of my president ❤❤❤
I love that man. Last guy to supermajority, win indiana and NC, make MT and MO COMPETITIVE
The man said 'we just got montana and missouri recently, ill go for indy and nc
I cry every time. Love you President Obama.
I feel like crying when I see he is president too.
@@47tooterSo does your mother when she sees your face.
@@47tootersnowflake
Wooowww❤
Faz muita falta nesses tempos
What a wonderful night. Unfortunately, some of our fellow citizens lost their minds that night. Which led to the awful place we're at in 2023.
Why was it wonderful ? Because it was a Black man ?
Racist much ?
Obama got us into this awful place !
Exactly this. They wanted to make sure we never have this happen again.
A day in history 🇺🇸
Why am I crying😢
Too bad republicans majority congress made sure he couldn’t implement the things he wanted to, that would have helped make this country more equitable. We got the ultimate “overcorrection” with the burnt and crispy unofficial McDonald’s mascot that succeeded him.
My one true President!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hello Chicago!!!!
Acknowledge ME!!!! sorry had to do that 😂
I remember crying at night watching this live. Respect also to John McCain. The good old times when no matter who wins, was going to be a good president. How Republicans went from McCain to Trump ? - 180%.
Look at all those digital cameras. Not a single phone in sight. And this was only 16 years ago
World celebrity 🎉❤we shall always miss this first family.. love them
What went wrong. From this significant change to the mess we have now with Trump ran GOP
One the greatest day of my life thank God I was alive to witness such
One of the best day ever ❤❤❤
The day America Died.
He is still hurting the Country, everyday.@@david_yordanov
@@47tootercultist
CBS love for❤
Take action
Now ten years later, the "security detail" that arrived with him in New Britain is still with Ann Marie Mesquitta-Obama (First Lady Annie Obama) who was seated at The White House. Annie Obama was in Avon, CT and brought to Windsor, CT. Why?!
Still watching this in 2024
Obama was such a huge advancement to America, that we had to take a step back from all this innovation just to let people breathe. 30 years from now we will see how 2008 was as important as the Civil War or World War II.
This man is 300 0 times smarter, and 3000 time more human than Trump
Good video.
15 years later
He's so honorable talking about Senator McCain the way he does
Wait isn't election day nov 5th?
आते है नसीबो के लिये जीवन का आकार तो खिलते है हसी का अल्फ़ाज
बनके छाया मखमल की तरह खुशी तो बहारो की तरह मिलतें है हसी का मिजाज
जो सादगी से भी खूबिया रहा तो कायदा की तरह भी आते है जीवन मे जितने अरमान
फिर भी रहा जो रन्ग तो महफिल की तरह खिलते है खुशी का अन्दाज
recordemos que en elpedir esta el dar el ser expresor y ser escuhante nos conlleva a una vida mejor
🙏🔴
Still overwhelmingly emotional
Went to the portrait gallery a couple of years ago and the line of black people to take a picture along side President Obamas portrait moved me to tears. I hope we have another President like this in our lifetime
This was the beginning of something special.. we all very much miss president Obama
How did we go from this to THIS???....🤷♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🙎♀️
Beautiful diamond family Obama family lovely ❤❤❤❤❤

How are you
This election got me excited about politics. It’s sad to think how far we have strayed from this moment. In hindsight we may have had progress too quickly, without Obama there is no president trump
President Trump did more the country than Obama ever did! It's just this weak society can't see past their emotions and get brainwashed by mainstream media.
The good old days. Vote Biden unless u want this country to turn into Russia
And ever since then the country has spiraled out of control
Not under him. Try again.
thank you@@TGreen89
Wrong ! Obama has caused all this racial division and Transgender crap ! Obama started many Wars and is hurting the Country from day 1 of his rigged presidency.@@TGreen89
Yes Sir, Barack Obama's election was one of the worst things to ever happen to this country.
The world loved and respected Obama more than we did. 🤦🏾♀️
I’m sad I’m very sad I will miss Barack Obama and I will miss yemen

Be careful, your husband will leave you for another man.
I remember that day like it was yesterday. I got home from school followed by the fresh smell of baked cookies. Mind you for family, that’s a special occasion. I walk in the house and find my parents in the back patio so excited. “I’m like what’s going on?” They go, “Obama is president!!!!” We celebrated that night and were so happy.
Best President Ever
How I wish I could go back to November 4 08
What a great man and family
Does anyone know if Michelle was ever made proud of her country for a second time?

From the time the USA was a democracy.

Forget the dog, I need a pet chicken that turns into roast chicken, not one more chicken curry one day, though chicken curry is fine for now. ha ha.
I may have disagreed with Bush on so many policies but dammit he was angel. How did we get to this place we find ourselves in 👀🤔?!?!?! That's why I left the republican party. Yall can have this current mess & leave me ALONE ✌️✌️.
