Watching wondering why he didn't change the game. He just fell into all the old norms and it was Business as usual. What a powerful beautiful moment but he wasn't what we all thought. Man he could stir it up
I'm Canadian and I have a suggestion: Can we take the 2008 election and put it in a time capsule? It was a great election and an example of how great America can be. I miss both President Obama and Senator McCain.
As one of the lucky ones that was able too attend his acceptance speech, I need to say that when he said 'enough' the recordings fail to recreate reality - It was truly thunderous, it shook the entire stadium.
I can't stop loving this man. Full of intelligence and eloquence. One of the finest presidents in the history of America and certainly the finest American president in my lifetime.

So- back when all this happened, I was pretty right-wing. In high school, before, and for a while after, I wasa hardcore, shitty republican. Seeing Obama's effect on the masses and the hope it inspired had instead filled me with dread as I timidly held up a McCain-Palin flag, hoping for a miracle. Looking back at that now though I'm not really sure why I was that way. My parents were conservative, but not nearly so much as I was. My area where I lived is conservative (for California, anyway), but it, too, was swept up in the Obama hype. I feared Democrats though, for some stupid reason. As a kid I watched as Al Gore and John Kerry, who I viewed as people who would upset the status quo that had been good to me under George Bush (Not then knowing that any good stuff from the Bush administration was more or less leftovers from Clinton), were defeated by a man who seemed to really value what made America so good. Obviously as a small white privileged child I had no real idea what other people went through day to day. The idea of a Democrat taking over was terrifying... but inevitable. And it happened. I complained about everything he did even though now I look back at those things and think "No, that's the logical choice." You ever just want to smack your past self? This was even during 2008, when our house got foreclosed upon! I thought my parents had been swindled into a bad mortgage or something (Which I guess isn't exactly UNTRUE but still...) In 2012, I was a little warmer toward Obama, but still voted Romney-Ryan because I was scared of Obamacare. There was a metric ton of misinformation and horror stories out there coming from the English healthcare system that made me certain that it was a bad idea. Though, in 2012, I was more of a Ron Paul centrist Republican... not that Romney wasn't Centrist, but I was kind of on my way westward from my far right initial idealogy. I didn't expect Romney to win, but I went out and voted for him anyway. In comes 2016. I'm looking at two candidates that are just abysmal. Hillary and Trump? Jesus christ what a shitshow. I banged the drum for Johnson, voted for him, got a bunch of others to do so too. And do not get me wrong- Gary Johnson still was absolutely the best choice in 2016 without even a remote shadow of a doubt. Though now in a post-Trump world, I can see that Hillary, bad as she might have been, would never EVER have stooped as low as Trump has every single day of his presidency. Watching how this administration has botched every thing that has come across its lap has solidified my journey to the Left. I still generally consider myself somewhat centrist but with far more blue in my purple than red. I've been nostalgic every day for Obama's presidency, and wishing that I had taken the time to enjoy it when it was current. That's why earlier this year, I reregistered from Libertarian to Democrat. And while I voted for Mayor Pete (Who ended up dropping out before the primary but I'd already mailed in my ballot...), I'm cool with Biden. If anything, it might allow me to indulge a bit more into the Obama nostalgia that I more or less missed out on. I've spent the last couple days watching a lot of Obama/Biden stuff from that time, from the recent DNC, from the last decade+ in general. Which finally led me here. This will be the first time since my own transformation that I've revisited Obama's 2008 DNC acceptance speech. I'm looking forward to watching it with completely different eyes than I had back then. And I don't know if Joe Biden will beat Donald Trump this November. I hope I don't come back to this comment and sigh sadly. All I can do is tap into that 2008 energy that everyone else had and... have a little Hope.
I am guessing you celebrated yesterday like millions across the USA :) Beautiful story, thank you for sharing! Hopefully the Biden presidency will not be derailed by Trumpists, we don't want another 4 years lost. An American from Austria
This is amazing 🙌 I do have to say though that Hillary wouldn’t have been a terrible candidate at all. She is quite literally one of the most accomplished and well deserving people for the presidency and it’s so depressing to see her monumental achievements be absolutely shredded by the whole Bernie and Trump misinformation campaigns with some help by Russia’s interference against Hillary 😢 you should watch the Hillary documentary series on Hulu for a different perspective on her or watch the Howard Stern show with Hillary on TH-cam for free - it might give you a different perspective :)
@@tripoliSG You pathetic idiots never gave Trump a chance. As soon as he became President, you guys started rioting through the streets. Pathetic Liberals
I like how so many people try to say what a terrible president he is. He is by no means the best, but as far as his promises that he made in his campaigns, he has delivered more than most candidates ever would have or most presidents ever did.
@@mrs.patrick2054 Really? There was a man who had cancer and was dying. No other health insurances was able to help him, with the exception of Obamacare. And thanks to Obamacare, he is completely cured and is still alive to this day. And he is definitely older than 22...
I'm so addicted to watching president Obama.. I watch his videos everyday. Even Though I am thousands of miles away, I know I will surely have a handshake with him in this lifetime🙇
I miss those days! Remember the time John McCain corrected one of his supporters and told her that Obama was a good and decent man?! I miss those days!
So proud of him and what he has accomplished....even if you don't like him he has really changed this country and paved the way for so many ethnicities and "genders". I'll miss you Mr. President!!!!
Sometimes, I watch all of the past videos of Obama just because I miss him. The way he speaks just gives me hope. A hope I felt when he was elected in 2008. A dawn of a new age.
Damn!!!i love that speech Especially from 38'58 till end!!!! "America, we can NOT turn BACK" this sentence is just...wow!!!i mean...i really, really really love that sentence because it's soooooooooo true!!!!!
I’ll never forget how I felt. It was such a wonderful feeling. We had a lunch at my college to watch the inauguration, and there were two bald eagles soaring just outside. I later got to see him speak in person at a park I loved. These videos bring me back to those good times of hope before we fell
Oh I love hearing him speach. He is doing great so far, Im sure he and his administration will do fine. I know I have trust in him....for the first time in YEARS I have trust in a US President. :-))
What an abosolutely great President. As a teenager, in 2008, I didn’t exaclty know what was happening politically. Only after 2012 was I more involved. Pres Obama will go down in history as being one of the best Presidents in the 21st century.
Watching these in 2020 when the sitting president is disputing Nov results. This guy can win once again if constitution allows. His nomination speech is so solid confidence and sure talking like he has already won! Did I count more than 30 Thank you before they settle down to listen to American greatest president to be? Was this a written speech, I doubt it,its flowing so smoothly and so be truthful? More than 30 thank you to start the speech and one more thank you at the end what a genius!
God I just loved 8:36 when after listing a long list of bush failures, he said "enough!". I think he really understood how america was feeling. I also liked how about a minute or so earlier he said that the reason our nation was in our sad state at that particular date was the failed policies of george w bush. This man nailed it all in this speech.
Who's watching this in 2020...

Watching wondering why he didn't change the game. He just fell into all the old norms and it was Business as usual. What a powerful beautiful moment but he wasn't what we all thought. Man he could stir it up
Probably the worst president that America has ever had ..
He had to say ‘Thank You’ 32 times (I counted) before the crowd settled. This man IS loved!
