    He and the others did what is expected. Will always remember, taking a break from work. Several of us, went upstairs, to the only TV in the office. Sat there mesmerized. Chasing the tears away. Sure could use him now days. He was a man with a vision and really did help out. Am so glad that I finally found this.

    I agree with you. I come from the middle east, and when I see Obama's leadership, I put his mistakes and pitfalls aside. As a human being and an individual, he is genuine, clean and comes right from the roots of the society. His leadership is among the finest and you are lucky to have him for another 4 years

    This is so inspiring because he's our modern day version of MLK, and people in the crowd are looking at him in that kind of way. This is history guys, 100 years from now people will be studying him and this era of politics, lets all appreciate this at least.

      Never seen a president in my almost 30 years of life. Just war criminals with different personalities profiteering off of the same wars and abetting the same genocides while the people they're elected to serve continue to struggle affording to live.

    I don't think that is the best reason to vote for a President. I support my rights too, but of all the things that matter, this issue is not the most important. It will be nice to have rights in a country that doesn't exist if it keeps falling apart like it is now.

    This video makes me more than a little proud- a very meaningful speech. Without fail I watch political videos online and have to read the meaningless assertions/accusations that people who have never seen one another launch at one another in the video comment section. Even small actions such as these do us no favors as a functioning, unified people, and I hope that we can at least try to get past our own differences so that we don't impede the rights of others of equal value. I'm hopeful.

    Bravo! "We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths - that all of us are created equal - is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth."

    I do not like to be labeled. Too restrictive. While there is some truth to it, I refuse to call myself a gamer, a nerd, a Trekkie, a homosexual, or refer to myself as white, atheist or well-off. However, there is something about this man that inspires me like no other to say with the greatest pride...
    ...I am an American.

  • @chico5817
    @chico5817 12 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    His speech to me demonstrates the wide divide between most Americans regarding the purpose of government. While he denies it, the President sees government as being all things for all people. He talked about subjects which have no dispute-eliminate poverty, retain Medicare and Social Security, equal rights. To this extent his speech was rhetoric. In my mind this President needs to get his hands dirty and fight for what is right and needed. Citizens can only do so much. Stop the speeches!

  • @ShadowOnEdge
    @ShadowOnEdge 12 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    14:48 my favorite part of the whole speech. Whether you like Obama or not, this is the first time a US President has mentioned support for gay rights during an inaugural speech. Good news is that same-sex marriage will soon be legal throughout the whole US!

    I realize that President Obama has many critics. I’m sure they have their good points-of-view. But to me, the President is one of the best presidents the USA has ever had. He took over when the nation was in its worst condition. And I do believe our nation is getting better through his leadership. I’m glad he made a second term.

    I hate to say it, but you couldn't be more wrong. If the things you mentioned in your post really matter to you, take the time to do a little research - it doesn't take long to simply scan articles and/or policies, but be open to all perspectives - there is a lot of bias out there, but you'll find the truth if you look.

    This is the 23rd of 100 famous speeches that I'm watching to make research on public speaking. I'm tired of watching the US presidents. All of them are equal in their capacity to manipulate the crowd by playing on people's emotions, dreams, hopes, and unconscious instincts. I've never taken politics seriously. I figured out at a very young age that the government is just another form of theatre. The actors are new; the play is always the same. I enjoy seeing every new president outwitting all the others. Obama, without a doubt, is the best speaker among the US presidents I watched before. However, his social role puts so many limits on his talent that I can't resist feeling pity for him.

We may be of different races and religion but there is av reason why we are called the United States. We as a country are certainly not living up to our title. I am thankful to having a president whom is willing to embrace the past and work on the future

    -voted for it (some thought that title 2 and 7 of that bill were unconstituional). 2. It doesn't take away from the fact that they voted for abolition, anti-lynching laws, the 14th, and 15th Amendments, the Civil Rights Acts of 1875, 1957, 1960, and 1964, and let's not forget about women's right to vote! Dems, largely, fought against passage of EACH! Today's Repub still favors those rights regardless of leftist dogma which claims otherwise.

    Why can't people debate issues instead of attending character assassination. Personally, I believe Reagan and Bush are just as patriotic and love America just as much as Clinton and Obama. I think Bush Sr. might be the most ethical and admirable president in my 47 years. I still strongly prefer the policies of Clinton and Obama but can acknowledge that in hindsight many Bush and Reagan policies turned out much better than I expected at the time. Hate fueled extremism on either side is bad.
