Political Punch

No one besides a cantidate that is ready to face our ecomomic and dollar problems will make any CHANGE. It doest how many celebrities you invite to your sing in, the crashing dollar will say "No You Cant"

McCain will not take this country anywhere, he will be another harding... etc. We need a president, who wants new ideas, maybe a sense of socialism to bring us up. As many people think that new thinking is bad... it isn't. The last one who had new ideas, brought policies which are still intact today. If you dont know what the new idea is, the you shouldn't even debate against Obama. Have a sense of politics, economics, and the country in general. We can't have a republican in office, sure they know how to run a business, however, business is different than 20 years ago. We are no longer a country that just does cooperates within itself, we HAVE TO WORK WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD. This country cannot think that they live without the rest of the world. We have to wake up and realize that we are not only talking about a governement of states, but We Are Communicating with the rest of the world. McCain, Clinton, any other status qou, pardon the spelling but it doesnt matter, as the point itself is more important. We need a new school of thinking. In addition, this is a country with the SEPARATION OF STATE AND RELIGION, please maintain it, stop putting your nieve religious thoughts into it!

This is a well-done video, regardless how one votes. Those who put it together have done a wonderful thing.

As for American Idol comparisons, can anyone explain to me how Ronald Reagan became President of the US and how Arnold Schwartzenegger became Governor of California? American politics is a popularity contest, and prom king is an apt metaphor for the President of the US.

It doesn't take much depth of political analysis to recognize that GW Bush was not elected President on the basis of political merit or strength of his ideas or his plan to set America on the right track. He didn't even offer such a vapid ideal as HOPE. His track record of experience was a shambles. Obama has every bit as much potential and promise and right to be President as Bush had, probably a lot more of each.

Obama won my vote--long before this video was made--because he offers leadership based on a positive agenda, not based on negative portrayals of his opponents. The more others attack him, and the more he sells his positive message, the more I'll support him.

What are we looking for in our next president? We have top experts in every field who will be advising him/her. The disastrous war in Iraq is not because of lack of military might. The health care crisis is not due to medical incompetency. The administration and congress accomplished little not because there weren't good ideas or specific plans.

What failed is leadership and smallness of our politicians, who are more concerned about winning the game/election than doing what's right. They prefer fighting bitterly as partisans and have nothing done than coming together and make consensus as Americans.

If the political climate wasn't so negative and destructive, I'd love to have Hilary for president, as she would be a great executive with her specifics. Unfortunately we don't have that luxury right now. Before anything we have to stand a step higher and have a drastic and positive change in our political overtone, bring people together and set a new, better climate going forward.

If that's what we must do, Sen. Obama the one. Specifics and expertise is NOT what we lack and NOT what caused all the failures (not saying he doesn't have it). For the next presidency we very much need leadership. Ones ability to inspire and bring us together, as the Senator has unquestionably demonstrated, is indeed what we desperately need in our next president.

I am a very dissapointed in the failure of the state of washington to make sure that all the votes are were properly counted. This is very scary. I hope this is resolved today. I mean really how hard is it to count 1500 votes. Do it already if there is a question. All the votes should have been counted at least once. Huckabee is not even calling for a recount, just a first count. Why is washington dragging its feet. Do they have something to hide?

I'd like to say to all of those who don't like Obama for whatever misguided or other personal reasons they may have, GET OVER IT. Obama will be the next President of United States of America. America is ready for a substantial change in the way our country is being run and the world is looking to America exhibit leadership. Be thankful that America has a man who can and will lead and will fill that leadership gap that is so sorely missing in today’s world. He has the passion, compassion and intellect to affect our world in a dynamic and wholesome way. Men of this caliber are rare and come along once or twice in a lifetime. How fortunate we are to have such a man. Change is in the air and America is back. Can we affect change? YES, WE CAN. God bless America and God bless Obama.

This video nails the essential difference between Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama: Sen. Clinton extols her experience and resume while exhorting others to vote for her; Sen. Obama actually inspires people to vote for him.

Obama is like one of thoese boy's band that did sync-singing.

I am 43 from the UK, didn't recognise any of the celebrities on the video and believe this is a good thing,because a new generation is growing politically. Clearly the youth of America is invigorated by this man, as is the rest of the world.

But then of course you have the Conservatives, Republicans in the US, who by definition of the word conserve, like to sit on things for as long as possible. until it rots underneath them.

Too self centred to have a world view, to understand that China needs to be balanced by a powerful country which currently doesn't even notice that China is getting all the resources it needs from Africa for pennies. Only Obama can intervene here.

I seem to read a lot of posts by people who are concerned that they feel Senator Obama isn't talking about the issues enough, and they are concerned that he might be all speech and no work. This couldn't be further from the truth! If you are still undecided, please either go to

Canada is still part of the Kingdom, you cannot understand the US politics because you have a Prime Minister and US has a President. Hoping to see that one day your brilliant female black governor will become a President of a free Canadian Republic.

I cry every time I see it. Absolutely stunning. An uncynical message of what America can become in the upcoming era. He has my vote.

Of course speeches with a soul purpose of exciting supporters aren't going to be full of specific plans and things, that's what the debates are for. He's clearly stated all of his plans and how he plans to pay for them and everything else.

The amazing speeches are just a bonus and a sign that he is a figure that can lead a nation and capture hearts.

To those who dismiss Obama's ability to inspire....what do you think leadership is about? It's the ability to inspire people to follow you and he is demonstrating the power of inspiration at every turn.

This is not a campaign video it was made by people who wanted to be part of what Obama is doing. And as such I think it's commendable.

The video is pretty well done, and is further proof we are seeing a prototype politician that may forever change how political campaigns and canidates are marketed. Obama is smart enough and cool enough to make this more positive (some passive aggresive stuff aside) type of campaign work to his advantage.
I think his strategy of contrasting the Clinton machine (yes, the dark connotations are deliberate and earned) with his campaign needs to get more aggressive. Hillary is unelectable. If Obama wants his party in the Oval Office, he better start reminding voters there is a huge gap between what the Clintons say vs. how they use their power and influence. Pick up a copy of Partners in Power (originally authorized by the Clintons) for an objective look at the Clintons in Akansas and the White House. You will never see them the same way.

People need to understand that Obama's campaign had nothing to do with this. This was simply some of his supporters taking video from his speech and transforming it into something amazing. Even the most cold-hearted Hillary supporter has to admit that video is an astounding piece of work.

As if I care about what the celebs think if they think at all. I don't believe a politician from the corrupt Chicago political machine can be un-tainted. no way.

Alright, thats honestly enough. How dare any1 say that Islam is a reason not 2 vote 4 some1?! Clearly this just shows how biaised u r! Myself, Im Lebanese, and Im a devout Christian, but some of my best frends r Muslim! All the "terrorist" propaganda that has been transmitted thru the states is going 2 the average Americans head! 4 example, my frends from here think that Allah is a term ppl shout b4 they commit a suicide bombing. Actually, its a way 2 say God, in any religion, Islam or Christianity, in Arabic. C? Exactly y I like Obama: Despite MLKs hard work, the US is still racist, only its been redirected. Obama realizes this and he is trying 2 even out the differences. Truth is, some ppl have violent agendas, some murder others, some hurt ppls feelings, but this happens no matter ur religion or ethnicity. Go Obama 08! Btw, Super Tuesday is my bday. Make it a good 1!

It's funny how Hillary supporters think "the media" is trying to convince them to vote for Obama...while Obama supporters think that "the media" is trying to push the notion of a "dream ticket".

I wonder where the truth lies?

Hilary Clinton is fighting for what she thinks is Right For America.

Barak Obama is Fighting for the Soul Of America!

Obama in 08....Pass It On!
