@@driff7146 Your original reply is irrelevant. Anthony was saying that Obama was popular, which he was. Even on election day, Trump was unpopular. And the US is a democracy. It's an indirect democracy (also known as representative democracy). There are several types of democracies and not all of them are mob rule. A republic is a democracy by definition.
@@FireTiger941 That's not the purpose of the electoral college at all. Its purpose is to ensure the president is actually qualified and not just a conman that managed to dupe the populace. Initially, electors in the electoral college were appointed by state legislatures that handpicked impartial candidates that would put country over party. Today that's not the case. Electors are not being appointed by state legislatures, they're being appointed by the Republican/Democrat committees of that state, and the only thing they care about is party loyalty. The claim that the electoral college is flawed is indisputable. The reason we don't change it is because it's up to the states to decide how their electors are chosen, and many states are partisan and don't want to give up power. There's only two states that actually were ethical enough to implement a fair system: Maine and Nebraska.
Dude i damn near cried. He didn’t deserve this. He was full of honor. Trump could never be that. He’s a draft dodger and a business reject. It’s time to vote the pain away.
I find it interesting how the last two republican candidates Romney and McCain were/are two of Trumps biggest critics. It just shows how the party has fallen
I’m a centre right and I hope that in 2024 our next election we have REAL candidates last two elections we had frauds and I hope the republicans in 2024 don’t choose pence .
Keith Maben yeah Romney would be a good candidate so would jeb,Ben Carson, Ted Cruz. I personally believe we should not have a far right candidate . I’m surprised that no one in this years primary voted for bill weld in the primary and got 1 delegate I would have definitely in those primary not vote for trump.
Just note that it’s early. The polls don’t mean Biden will win or Trump will win, so don’t get all of your hopes up. In 2016, polls showed Hillary Clinton was leading Trump by a lot up until Election Day, but then Trump actually won.
Father Gabriel Stokes I disagree with you one Pete being a candidate in 2020. Honestly, if he was in Biden’s cabinet he could gain some national experience and be a better leader.
Trump talks about crowd sizes lol he could never get this emotional response from not just US the world. President Obama is a once in a lifetime- glad i got to witness this.
I traditionally vote republican but with how divided we have become I’m actually happy that trump lost. I just want everyone to come together and work together again. I’m so sick of the fighting from both sides. Let’s all go back to ONE America. 🇺🇸
I cried when he won and 12 years later I’m crying again. I’m watching this again and I still can’t believe this happened. What a night it was!! Three years later and I would love to feel the same way I felt in 2024 as I did in 2008! 🤞
You got that right and McCain and Obama were Good Friends until McCain died The Obamas and the Bushes went to McCain's Funeral and sat side by side Blessings to everyone and God Bless You John McCain a TRUE Gentleman and God Bless You Barack Obama
I’m literally crying watching this as a 28 year old in 2022 I remember I went to sleep but I was woken up by my dad and my mom (black dad and white mom) yelling and hugging eachother and it was the most beautiful thing I ever experienced . I sat up with them watching his speech with my parents and it was one of the warmest moments I ever experienced with my parents. Rewatching this gives me happy tears like they are still here with me.
Tony Mureithi I hear up every time I watch this. God help us. We went from a Harvard graduate ,articulate, loving, intelligent and good looking man to Trump😣
Only american flags, thats what united our country, now we stand divided between biden and trump. We never shouldve had flags for either side in the first place
@@hugoc6313 I suppose it's because we have a unique, and some would say frustrating, method of choosing a President. I've been fascinated by it since I was a child. I have a college degree in political science and a law degree, so I think about politics every day. :-D
btone31 you aren’t a real republican. If you were then you wouldn’t support trump. I bet you couldn’t name 10 beliefs the republican party has and i bet you couldn’t say why you want trump in office besides the economy and that you don’t want a Democrat. If thats what you believe (which I know it is) then you’re not a republican , you’re a trumplican. George Bush, George w bush, mitt romney, john mcain and a few other people are the last REAL republicans. They might of not made the best choices but atleast they aren’t like the retarded republicans who sucks trumps dick all day.
I'm a democrat but I had a ton of respect for the republican party before 2016. Now it is hard to respect them when all I see is "TRUMP 2020" and people saying libtards this libtards that. It's a shame that a party like the Republican's had to go this extreme. Bring back old politics!
@@TheSnapback They were still saying libtards before Trump. Keep in mind during Obama's presidency the Republican party further morphed to alt-right ideas and made fertile the ground Trumpism rose up from.
Rest in Peace Senator McCain, You are truly a man of integrity, honour and humility. Your passing, was and will continue to be an incalculable loss for the GOP. Your passing is the most powerful symbolism as regards to the death of all credibility and decency within the GOP.
class, is something that trump never had and never will. Mccain is an example of the true republican politicians. Trump is not even worth of shining McCain's, shoes because he is the president of the cruel, vulgars, and crazies.
We don’t see that on tv anymore. They must have gotten so much flak for it that they abandon it. I just can’t imagine how Twitter would react it they were to do that today. They’d get roasted badly.
This was such a historic night. I volunteered for Obama's campaign in '08 and when he won, I cried. I agree that only the least gracious among us who lived thru this election would refuse to recognize how historic this moment was.
i was eight when this happened. my teacher had scheduled our unit on MLK Jr. and the Civil Rights movement, right after this election, so i got to learn about it in that context. also i remember my parents being super convinced that McCain would win for some reason looking back on it, i realize how historic it was, in part bc of how much of a blowout it was for a 21st-century election (like, how on earth did Indiana go blue???)
Absolutely. Voted for Obama both times in 2008 (when I was 19, first president I ever voted for) and 2012. I was really thrilled to see him win both times. Obama broke a lot of new ground for the US presidency-- he was progressive, modern, he was the first president to utilize social media, he played a role in assassinating Osama Bin Laden, and he will probably be the only African American that was president for 2 terms for a while. :3
I’m not the biggest fan of most republicans, but I gotta admit I respect the fact that McCain congratulated Obama for winning. Respected man at his best. R I P McCain
I often come back and watch these videos to remind myself that there is still good in the world and people with common sense. I really miss President Obama.
Really sad to see John McCain...he really was a truly respected American. Although he lost, he still had dignity, respect and most of all...CLASS. Rest In Peace John.🇺🇸🙏🏽
My first election was freshman year in college and the midterms sadly I really wanted the presidential election to be my first :/ now I have to wait til 2020! 💙
This video is a case study in class. Obama. Vibrant. Inspiring. Victorious. McCain. Humble. Warm. Disarming. What the hell happened to THIS? Be better America.
Staraptor Flock is that why he had Obama speak at his funeral? These men actually respected and cared for eachother. I know its hard to believe with todays political landscape but its true.
As an 8 yr old kid growing up in Kenya in 2008 I remember staying up all night because because I was too excited by the mere thought that a black person of Kenyan roots could become the President of the United States, I could not sleep.
I fell asleep watching MSNBC WHEN I WOke up and realized he had won, I actually cried. Being raised in a time when segregation was the law it's still a miracle.
watching this makes me cry every time, two outstanding candidates that not only are both charismatic and articulate, but also respectful to one another. this is MY America and I don’t care what anyone says.
Gives me goosebumps every time I watch this. Being a California native I was so proud this year, we pushed him over the top. Thank you Barack Obama. You were our greatest President ever ❤❤❤
California did it with the 55 electoral votes. He was at 220 with Virginia. As of August 2022 it is still emotional. Still bring tears to my eyes to see this today. All African-Americans as well as others should appreciate this moment forever.
Think about this, it is kinda significant for the camera to point specifically towards him for the live feed from Ebenezer Baptist during the live reactions to the projection that Obama was elected the first black president and little that we knew Georgia would elect its first black Senator only 13 years later? Despite the racial blacklash.
McCain was a class act and it was very cool for America to see his sportsmanship. I honestly doubt that Trump would do that. RIP John McCain, you were a great man.
@@BradyDoesntMiss McCain was at least respectful and didn't make a mockery of our country. At this point with the amount of drone strikes that have taken place under Trump's presidency you could pretty succinctly call him a war criminal as well. I'm not gonna defend Obama for how much he expanded the drone program as well. 99% of politicians are bad people let's just admit it to ourselves. Donald Trump is not an exception to that.
John McCain is the representation of the Republican party that I grew up in. Respectful, hardworking, and being able to accept defeat. I even supported Trump before he was elected in 2016, but Trump ruined all of this. He ruined the party and took all the dignity Republican's once had; he made fun of John McCain who was a war hero. This video just sobers a person on how badly it has been ruined by Trump who is too narcissistic to admit he could ever lose, lets hope someday the party can return to being respectful again. :)
yes, the times when you actually had 2 decent human beings as the main party candidates. i mean, i'm european and center-left, so i usually root for the democrat, but if McCain or Romney won, sure, i'd feel slightly disappointed, but i wouldn't be filled every day with rage, anger and fear because a narcissistic ignorant megalomaniacal imbecile holds the fate of humanity in hand. no, because i'd trust McCain or Romney to be reasonable, even if i'd disagree with them on most issues. but apparently, in the US in recent decades, when the republican is sane, he has no chance of winning. that's why i knew Trump had a good chance.
you know what's funny is when you watch the debates in 2008 and 2012, and compare them to 2016. Obama and McCain/ Romney obviously had their differences, but the debates were still respectable, and argued with facts between adults. Compare that to the travesty of the 2016 GOP primaries, or the debates between Clinton and Trump...what a joke.
+s casino I think your center-left is all the way to the left here. Yeah, we have a lot of uneducated crazies. 38% of the country still thinks that the Earth is 10,000 years old.
i mean, some things here are just off the table. universal healthcare is supported by the right-wing here, it's just common sense ( although sometimes the rightwings do limit the funding and screw around with it, the existence of universal healthcare is a non-debate here. ). Sanders would be a pretty moderate leftist ( actually, a centrist in most regards, except for taxes ) here, in his official positions at least, as his personal views do sometimes seem a bit further to the left. as for the loons... we have our fair share. the extreme right and left are rising in Europe very fast, and don't think we don't have lots of ignorant people that think that the Earth is a few thousand years old or that the Sun revolves around the Earth. And those people vote, they can't wait to vote, because they're so fanatical in their views, whilst the average decent person stays out of politics because "all options suck". dumbasses don't have such qualms or thoughts, and they'll make the choice for you.
"The failure is mine not yours" -John McCain. A real gentlemen there Not like Trump blaming honest American voters for his losses in some states in the 2020 election.
I voted McCain that year, but I like to think that even then, Trump's ineptitude would've been obvious to me if he were the candidate and not McCain. The Republican voters of 2016 to present have gone out of their rabid-ass minds. I used to listen to Limbaugh and Hannity, but they lost me. Obama actually was a good president. Not perfect, but good enough to get me to take a critical look at the things I was being told. Never again, Fox News. Never again.
Awesome. When I was young, I thought I was a Republican. Listened to Rush some, signed up for College Republicans, voted for the first Bush. But learning more and more how things actually work, I've ended up a solid leftie Democrat. I agree about Obama. He did really, really well as President, especially given the circumstances. :-)
What a true gentleman, a great politicain .... even in defeat he is still a winner. Even after his passing, he still wins against Drump. He was a great and true American Hero. RIP Sen. John McCain.
@@Millie226 it 12 years ago. take a picture right now and check yourself in the next 12 years and compare the two. nobody survives aging as long as you live . we all will age and look fucking horrible and eventually die
Still feels like yesterday. One of the greatest moments of the 21st century. This moment will go down in history as the greatest triumphs of humanity. Live long, Barack Obama.
He handled this so classy. He told his supporters to trust the decision of the election. Obama spoke at his funeral and let me tell you, I respected him so much more. He went from opponent to supporter, and the words, "he's now my president" talk about class
This feels like a different universe. A candidate who was actually popular, who wasn't past retirement age, and who brought real hope. How times have changed.
I didn't realize i would be treated to john mc cains speech. I wanted to relive Obama's election. But what i got was more than i expected. RIP John Mc Cain
The most striking part of this video is the McCain concession speech. At the time I'm sure it was simply seen as a proper, respectable and honorable speech to make. By today's standards it's almost inconceivable. Whatever side you are on, 2008 was a credit to Democracy whether you were a winner or not. I hope the United States can one day live up again to the dignity it once had in its political process.
The amount of respect McCain had, men, am at work this late at night and am tearing up. Have never seen or heard someone concede with so much grace, humility and grace. May he continue resting in peace, for Barack Obama, it was a great win and its a moment I come back to often for motivation and to remind myself of what I can be or achieve
Senator McCain is pure CLASS & he is missed, the last of a dying Breed! I miss the Obama's so much. I come to this video often when i need to be reminded how our country really is and not it's current condition.
*God I miss the respect, decorum and integrity that John McCain had…THAT is what’s truly missing in today’s GOP. He grew a tremendous friendship with Obama even though they didn’t always agree. What they ALWAYS agreed on…was that they needed to put their differences aside to do what was best for ALL Americans.*
I kept this on my DVR for years because it was a slice of history I wanted to keep forever. I found software that let me transfer it to a computer via Firewire cable. Kept that file for some more years. Then used Handbrake to convert it to 1080p60, so it's a super clean encoding of the original HD signal from CNN. I also got the other part I linked to in the description. I only wish I had done this with more videos back then! :-)

@@driff7146 Trump lost the popular vote
@@driff7146 Your original reply is irrelevant. Anthony was saying that Obama was popular, which he was. Even on election day, Trump was unpopular. And the US is a democracy. It's an indirect democracy (also known as representative democracy). There are several types of democracies and not all of them are mob rule. A republic is a democracy by definition.
@@FireTiger941 I don't think you understand the purpose of the electoral college.
@@FireTiger941 That's not the purpose of the electoral college at all. Its purpose is to ensure the president is actually qualified and not just a conman that managed to dupe the populace. Initially, electors in the electoral college were appointed by state legislatures that handpicked impartial candidates that would put country over party. Today that's not the case. Electors are not being appointed by state legislatures, they're being appointed by the Republican/Democrat committees of that state, and the only thing they care about is party loyalty. The claim that the electoral college is flawed is indisputable. The reason we don't change it is because it's up to the states to decide how their electors are chosen, and many states are partisan and don't want to give up power. There's only two states that actually were ethical enough to implement a fair system: Maine and Nebraska.
Anthony Campos
wrong. this was actually back when people love their country. in today's America, people only love their politicians, not the country.
The class and respect shown by McCain is absolutely inspiring.
That’s because they weren’t enemies . They just wanted to make the country better
Much respect for him
Dude i damn near cried. He didn’t deserve this. He was full of honor. Trump could never be that. He’s a draft dodger and a business reject. It’s time to vote the pain away.
I find it interesting how the last two republican candidates Romney and McCain were/are two of Trumps biggest critics. It just shows how the party has fallen
I’m a centre right and I hope that in 2024 our next election we have REAL candidates last two elections we had frauds and I hope the republicans in 2024 don’t choose pence .
Keith Maben yeah Romney would be a good candidate so would jeb,Ben Carson, Ted Cruz. I personally believe we should not have a far right candidate . I’m surprised that no one in this years primary voted for bill weld in the primary and got 1 delegate I would have definitely in those primary not vote for trump.
Just note that it’s early. The polls don’t mean Biden will win or Trump will win, so don’t get all of your hopes up. In 2016, polls showed Hillary Clinton was leading Trump by a lot up until Election Day, but then Trump actually won.
Father Gabriel Stokes I disagree with you one Pete being a candidate in 2020. Honestly, if he was in Biden’s cabinet he could gain some national experience and be a better leader.
There’s a reason both of them got crushed

@sevecn yai True, I'm sure he would've done better with another VP. Like around 200 EV.
you aint wrong
I TOTALLY AGREE
Obama vs McCain was one of the most Moderate Elections in Presidential History.
True! And yet it was so divisive because of race.
The general election of 08' was certainly moderate but the primary on the Dems side was vicious.
It got nasty actually because of Palin. She really kickstarted the teaparty movement
I would argue Obama vs Romney maybe moreso. Romney was just Republican Obama, basically. So much so, that Obamacare came from Romneycare.
I’m literally crying watching this as a 28 year old in 2022 I remember I went to sleep but I was woken up by my dad and my mom (black dad and white mom) yelling and hugging eachother and it was the most beautiful thing I ever experienced . I sat up with them watching his speech with my parents and it was one of the warmest moments I ever experienced with my parents. Rewatching this gives me happy tears like they are still here with me.
All these years later, and *THAT* moment still gives me chills
I just watched and cried 🥴🤣
RIP John McCain (8/29/36 to 8/25/18). This event shall not be missed.
Dream Big Productions amen 🙏
That is so weird if his birthday really was August 29. I know at least 12 that share that day but not the year including my youngest brother.

@@TheSnapback They were still saying libtards before Trump. Keep in mind during Obama's presidency the Republican party further morphed to alt-right ideas and made fertile the ground Trumpism rose up from.
@BettleStomper I don't know you're meaning, but ya vote for Biden 2020. Just another dem that has to fix another Republican mess.
Rest in Peace Senator McCain, You are truly a man of integrity, honour and humility. Your passing, was and will continue to be an incalculable loss for the GOP. Your passing is the most powerful symbolism as regards to the death of all credibility and decency within the GOP.
John McCain, the last true republican who cared about America and not himself and himself only.
I agree with what you said about the man and we all wish Republican follow him as example
class, is something that trump never had and never will. Mccain is an example of the true republican politicians. Trump is not even worth of shining McCain's, shoes because he is the president of the cruel, vulgars, and crazies.
Never thought I’d see a Will.I.Am hologram interview on CNN in 2008. What a strange time we were in
I wonder why they don't do that anymore 😂😂
We don’t see that on tv anymore. They must have gotten so much flak for it that they abandon it. I just can’t imagine how Twitter would react it they were to do that today. They’d get roasted badly.
Have you seen the graphics South Korea used in their election coverage, they should do it here too
Lol
This was such a historic night. I volunteered for Obama's campaign in '08 and when he won, I cried. I agree that only the least gracious among us who lived thru this election would refuse to recognize how historic this moment was.
i was eight when this happened. my teacher had scheduled our unit on MLK Jr. and the Civil Rights movement, right after this election, so i got to learn about it in that context. also i remember my parents being super convinced that McCain would win for some reason
looking back on it, i realize how historic it was, in part bc of how much of a blowout it was for a 21st-century election (like, how on earth did Indiana go blue???)
Who is watching this in Year 2020
Me. How different these days were to the cluster-**** the US is experiencing now. Seems like a different world.
Man this was amazing he dug is out of the bottom of the bottom and Trump is taking credit for it without Obama we'd be F'd right now
Absolutely. Voted for Obama both times in 2008 (when I was 19, first president I ever voted for) and 2012. I was really thrilled to see him win both times. Obama broke a lot of new ground for the US presidency-- he was progressive, modern, he was the first president to utilize social media, he played a role in assassinating Osama Bin Laden, and he will probably be the only African American that was president for 2 terms for a while. :3
me
Not me I’m scared !
I’m not the biggest fan of most republicans, but I gotta admit I respect the fact that McCain congratulated Obama for winning. Respected man at his best. R I P McCain
That guy is still doing the presidential election talks to this day
Other then the hair, John King has not aged a day
There is no electoral fraud just admit deep down inside racist people voted for an orange bigot that’s their culture #Obama #Biden 2020

John McCain was such a respectful candidate. When his supporters boo'ed Obama, he stopped them. Rest in peace, Mr. McCain
McCain was so graceful. American Politics sure miss him.
That moment was electrifying. Obama was way ahead of this time and McCain was a great and decent man. The country needs people of their caliber again!
I still get chills watching this. This was the first election I ever voted in. I was 21, a junior in college. Can’t believe it’s been ten years.
It was sometime around junior year of college for me that I realized I'm definitely not a Republican. ;-)
@George Pilzer Well, we got a decent wave on election day! Now on to inevitable impeachment and 2020. 😁
My first election was freshman year in college and the midterms sadly I really wanted the presidential election to be my first :/ now I have to wait til 2020! 💙
I was 20 at the time and in between college. This was also the first election I voted in and it was a historic event.
Mine too. I had just turned 18 and it felt empowering. Voted for Obama. I didn't realize he won by such a landslide.
I will one day proudly tell my children and my grandchildren that I was part of this moment...I was part of this moment!! Historical Moment!
Part of it watching at home or in person? Because if you were there in Chicago I am SUPER jealous. :-)
Me too!
McCain is the definition of a class act. A true man of integrity.
Absolutely. He was such an elder statesman.
This video is a case study in class.

Sometimes when I feel sad, I come back and watch this and cry myself to sleep
As an 8 yr old kid growing up in Kenya in 2008 I remember staying up all night because because I was too excited by the mere thought that a black person of Kenyan roots could become the President of the United States, I could not sleep.
McCain a man of honour. There are none left like him. He was the last.
I fell asleep watching MSNBC WHEN I WOke up and realized he had won, I actually cried. Being raised in a time when segregation was the law it's still a miracle.
watching this makes me cry every time, two outstanding candidates that not only are both charismatic and articulate, but also respectful to one another. this is MY America and I don’t care what anyone says.
Gives me goosebumps every time I watch this. Being a California native I was so proud this year, we pushed him over the top. Thank you Barack Obama. You were our greatest President ever ❤❤❤
California did it with the 55 electoral votes. He was at 220 with Virginia. As of August 2022 it is still emotional. Still bring tears to my eyes to see this today. All African-Americans as well as others should appreciate this moment forever.
this election looked so much better than whats going on rn :(
29:57 He’s now Senator Raphael Warnock. 😊
@Ryan Friedman So cool! Good catch.
Elected to a full term now!
Think about this, it is kinda significant for the camera to point specifically towards him for the live feed from Ebenezer Baptist during the live reactions to the projection that Obama was elected the first black president and little that we knew Georgia would elect its first black Senator only 13 years later? Despite the racial blacklash.
McCain was a class act and it was very cool for America to see his sportsmanship. I honestly doubt that Trump would do that. RIP John McCain, you were a great man.
I even doubt if Trump even attends the inauguration if ge loses
Now look what is happening right now.
Wonderful concession speech by John McCain. What a great man and so different from that slime who is now the Republican President.

Drumpf as a TV clown does what he knows the best.
@@BradyDoesntMiss McCain was at least respectful and didn't make a mockery of our country. At this point with the amount of drone strikes that have taken place under Trump's presidency you could pretty succinctly call him a war criminal as well.

John McCain is the representation of the Republican party that I grew up in. Respectful, hardworking, and being able to accept defeat. I even supported Trump before he was elected in 2016, but Trump ruined all of this. He ruined the party and took all the dignity Republican's once had; he made fun of John McCain who was a war hero. This video just sobers a person on how badly it has been ruined by Trump who is too narcissistic to admit he could ever lose, lets hope someday the party can return to being respectful again. :)
John McCain is a great guy
That’s why he lost
@@shayanahsan2151 Obama is a bad person then 🤨
good times. Much happier times compared to now.
yes, the times when you actually had 2 decent human beings as the main party candidates.
i mean, i'm european and center-left, so i usually root for the democrat, but if McCain or Romney won, sure, i'd feel slightly disappointed, but i wouldn't be filled every day with rage, anger and fear because a narcissistic ignorant megalomaniacal imbecile holds the fate of humanity in hand. no, because i'd trust McCain or Romney to be reasonable, even if i'd disagree with them on most issues.
but apparently, in the US in recent decades, when the republican is sane, he has no chance of winning. that's why i knew Trump had a good chance.
you know what's funny is when you watch the debates in 2008 and 2012, and compare them to 2016. Obama and McCain/ Romney obviously had their differences, but the debates were still respectable, and argued with facts between adults. Compare that to the travesty of the 2016 GOP primaries, or the debates between Clinton and Trump...what a joke.
+s casino I think your center-left is all the way to the left here. Yeah, we have a lot of uneducated crazies. 38% of the country still thinks that the Earth is 10,000 years old.
i mean, some things here are just off the table. universal healthcare is supported by the right-wing here, it's just common sense ( although sometimes the rightwings do limit the funding and screw around with it, the existence of universal healthcare is a non-debate here. ).
Sanders would be a pretty moderate leftist ( actually, a centrist in most regards, except for taxes ) here, in his official positions at least, as his personal views do sometimes seem a bit further to the left.
as for the loons... we have our fair share. the extreme right and left are rising in Europe very fast, and don't think we don't have lots of ignorant people that think that the Earth is a few thousand years old or that the Sun revolves around the Earth. And those people vote, they can't wait to vote, because they're so fanatical in their views, whilst the average decent person stays out of politics because "all options suck". dumbasses don't have such qualms or thoughts, and they'll make the choice for you.
hey
After almost 4 years of Trump it is shocking to hear real leaders talk in a proper adult worthy way
"The failure is mine not yours" -John McCain. A real gentlemen there
Not like Trump blaming honest American voters for his losses in some states in the 2020 election.

I voted McCain that year, but I like to think that even then, Trump's ineptitude would've been obvious to me if he were the candidate and not McCain. The Republican voters of 2016 to present have gone out of their rabid-ass minds. I used to listen to Limbaugh and Hannity, but they lost me. Obama actually was a good president. Not perfect, but good enough to get me to take a critical look at the things I was being told. Never again, Fox News. Never again.
Awesome. When I was young, I thought I was a Republican. Listened to Rush some, signed up for College Republicans, voted for the first Bush. But learning more and more how things actually work, I've ended up a solid leftie Democrat. I agree about Obama. He did really, really well as President, especially given the circumstances. :-)

It’s so weird seeing people in massive groups without face masks now😅
LOL IKR?
He handled this so classy. He told his supporters to trust the decision of the election. Obama spoke at his funeral and let me tell you, I respected him so much more. He went from opponent to supporter, and the words, "he's now my president" talk about class
"we're being joined via hologram by will.i.am" -sentence actually said on CNN
I bet after that, AC said during the break, "That was F***ing weird."
This feels like a different universe. A candidate who was actually popular, who wasn't past retirement age, and who brought real hope. How times have changed.
I didn't realize i would be treated to john mc cains speech. I wanted to relive Obama's election. But what i got was more than i expected. RIP John Mc Cain
Part 2 has Obama's victory speech, if you haven't watched that yet.
The most striking part of this video is the McCain concession speech. At the time I'm sure it was simply seen as a proper, respectable and honorable speech to make. By today's standards it's almost inconceivable. Whatever side you are on, 2008 was a credit to Democracy whether you were a winner or not. I hope the United States can one day live up again to the dignity it once had in its political process.
The amount of respect McCain had, men, am at work this late at night and am tearing up. Have never seen or heard someone concede with so much grace, humility and grace. May he continue resting in peace, for Barack Obama, it was a great win and its a moment I come back to often for motivation and to remind myself of what I can be or achieve
I come to watch this once in a while. It makes me smile and tear up a little. I’ll never forget this night and the feeling i had.
Alabama! Roll Tide, and I agree completely. 👍😃
Senator McCain was a decent man!
My God rest his soul.
May he rest in heaven.
Senator McCain is pure CLASS & he is missed, the last of a dying Breed! I miss the Obama's so much. I come to this video often when i need to be reminded how our country really is and not it's current condition.
It’s a shame what we got after Obama. This moment was absolutely historic and inspiring
*God I miss the respect, decorum and integrity that John McCain had…THAT is what’s truly missing in today’s GOP. He grew a tremendous friendship with Obama even though they didn’t always agree. What they ALWAYS agreed on…was that they needed to put their differences aside to do what was best for ALL Americans.*

How is this from 2008?
I kept this on my DVR for years because it was a slice of history I wanted to keep forever. I found software that let me transfer it to a computer via Firewire cable.
