Who is here while reading "A promised land" to watch the speech Obama is talking about in the third chapter?
Me
Precisely! Listening to him read it on the audiobook is such a treat. Next, I listened to Leslie Odom singing Seriously.
th-cam.com/video/hI8TCA3fJcs/w-d-xo.html
I could not help it, found myself here
Omg me! Lol I 'm glad I'm not the only one.
Me I love it!
Who else listening to this magical speech in 2024?
bro makes trump and biden look like todlers 😂 its infuriating and im not even american
me
Me, Sir! I'm Ivorian. Even if we speak French here, God blessed me with real American accent. When I'm speaking English people thinks that I'm a native because I spend all my time watching Obama's speeches and that made me a native American, native by hard work. Help me pray God to give me the chance to visit this beautiful country one day please.😊😊🙏🏽
Right here
This speech is the definition of "rising star". Obama went from relatively unknown outside of Illinois to a national figure in one night and it paved the way to us having our first black president!!! History was made here and these people didn't even realize it
If there is a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read that matters to me even if it's not my child.
Such a powerful speech 🙌🏿
Makes me feel proud to be American.
And I'm Australian
lmaoo😂
🤣🤣😂
mr. grubbyskinkaphant 60 now people think of America as a joke. They used to think highly of us. Now we have a leader that doesn’t even give a fuck about us, What a shame.😕
@@ellaknight5597 it really is bro. at this point, nobody is safe in the US
Every country has their fools.
The day Obama became president although Kerry was the nominee 😂
Really classoc
I'm just wondering, Obama might bottle feed Biden too. Lessons from his failure with Kerry will be used here.
they both served, along with hrc, bernard-henri levy's satanic whims......
This speech was magnificent until he mentioned Kerry lol
Very true
Every few months, when I am so sad about the state of our government, I listen to a speech from President Obama, and my hope is refreshed. I started to tear up when I watched this one.
That's why I'm watching today
June, 2022 and still feeling goosebumps hearing this magical speech 👌
November 7 . 2022
i feel the same way!
Yes Nov 22 and I feel heartbroken at how the world since this period of immense hope…I’m in the UK and I dream of these aspirations and conviction once again for my son to grow up in

As a modern day Republican (2022) this evokes feelings of pride patriotism. Wish we could go back to these days.

So true...
Besides Reagan in 1976.
I saved this and watched it at least once a day. I’m not even American, I’m from Singapore but it hyped me so much.
I fondly remember watching this speech with my father that night. At the end of the speech, he turned to me and said, Obama will be our next president. What a prediction!
I don't know if you all realize that, Obama is one of the greatest public speakers of all times.
Beloved, I don't know you in person but God know you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (TWINS ALIVE FOUNDATION) in Rivers state Nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family.

Classy and humble - opposite of Trump
Not if he's speaking extemporaneously.
I was a Republican at the time when I watched him in 2004 and remember saying "why isn't he running?" I switched to Democrat because of him, I felt as though my eyes were finally opened. I became a state delegate for him in 2008.
I believe you made a bad decision
@@khaliddr6626 He made a good decision
@@Deathfecater first term, yes. Only cuz of eloquence. Second term, no. Only cuz of what he did during the first term.
2021 here…. How are you going
I'm sorry but after listening to this speech, and looking at what he did in office, all I can say is Obama in 2004 will not approve of Obama of 2016.
Besides, after listening to Reagan's 1968 Time of Choosing speech, Obama sounds like he is talking without speaking.
I am not even American but I teared up. His speech is brilliant it wakes something in us.. hope!
It's an amazing speech. He doesn't actually say anything but the smoke and mirrors are what make it work. Brilliant political mind.

...and who would have thought that 4 yrs later, he'd become President of the United States of America? This speech still gives this Canadian chills!!
"Whether you like his politics or not, he's one of the most gifted public speakers in history."

The only speech that's every brought me to tears. God Bless you BHO.✌️
I terminated dish on the 8th of december
He’s a war criminal and a traitor to the working class…
I’ve seen this speech at least five times, and I tear up each time. This is the America, the world, I hope I’m fortunate to live in… and all the generations after me.
I'll never forget watching this speech when I was in high school. My Republican dad smiled and said "I really like this guy, I hope we see more of him"
How did your dad feel about him during his presidency? I’m genuinely curious.
@@t.b.109 He really liked him and was a strong supporter of him and voted for him twice. But he began to become disenfranchised towards the end and didn't vote in 2016 he hates Donald Trump and voted for Biden this year. I think he saw him as a unique candidate who genuinely did good things for the country.
@@benmasclans4 I'd buy a beer for your dad he sounds like a cool guy
Also buying a beer for your dad
@@benmasclans4 We need more open minded people in America like your dad. He sounds like a good guy.
Honest to God, this was the moment that lead to him becoming President. What, 15 minutes? 15 minutes? Yep, exactly. That is what led the Democratic party to say 'yeah, he's the one'. And holy hannah were they right.
+Ray Panner A young man took the time to lay out his STORY and VISION for his country......and that disturbs you?.
+Ray Panner Lets not forget he went up against hilldawg in the Primaries and won. You probably don't understand how our American political system works with its primaries. You're a foreigner, so its coolm no one expects you to understand.
+Top Gallant I know exactly how the system works. Cripes, I follow U.S. politics closer than I do Canadian. What I mean is this was the moment everyone knew he was going to win the Presidency. It was just a matter of when, not if.
Ray Panner So you admit you were lying. Thank you. good for you, new new start!!! go forward young one with HEAD HELD HIGH!
We know. I knew, as soon as I saw and heard him he would be (not an ounce of doubt) the next President. I told everyone I knew to check it out. And wow the responses. I live in Bama. And the vast majority of them loved it. Yes it is the best recorded speech in American history.
It was one of the most powerful speeches in the history of America.
I remember walking into the breakroom at work and hearing this inspirational voice. I asked my co-worker who was this charismatic, smooth dude and I will NEVER forget his response. He said "I'm watching the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!" I sat down & we watched it in silence together. When it ended, we looked at each other with the same expression 😯
The day after Obama gave this speech I remember going to work in hopes that someone else had seen it. A few did see & we were in awe of this young senator from Illinois. I remember telling a coworker that was listening in on our conversation about Obama. I told her 'He is going to be our first Black president!'. She looked at me like I had sprouted a second head. She, a black woman, could not even wrap her head around this. We looked him up online. All she could say is "He is handsome!". Four years later she had a 10 x 12 photo of Obama on her office wall of the day he was swore into office.
I watched with my mom. She turned to me at the end and said, "he's going to be our first black President"
Cynthia my father passed in 2014 but he said same to me. I to remember this speech and knew he was special.
Great foresight.
Best speaker president in my lifetime (78y.o.).
Minor correction: second Black President, the first being Bill Clinton.
How could Americans go from this to Trump?
@@Bigguy_33 hope trump wil not be elected again in november
Stupidity has no limits.

Dont forget Trump ain't win the popular vote also smfhh
He lost by millions
Who else is here while or after reading Becoming Michelle Obama. Its January 2024 & i am So glad i am watching this for the first time, makes me see & understand how can come from nothing to becoming everything God prepared you for. What an inspirational man. Tearing up
A skinny kid in Nigeria, up at midnight and getting goosebumps again for perhaps the 20th time from watching this.
My goodness! Hits the same as it did when I first watched this 12 years ago.
I would've been proud to be American in that moment. What a speech!
I watched this live in 2004 and was so moved that I got up, found a pencil and paper, and wrote down his name. This is the one we've waited for, I thought.
You could see that on everyone's faces as they showed the crowd too!
Everybody in that building knew it.
Wrote his name😂😂😂😂 it was worthy dear.

That speech made me proud to be American.
Then I realized that I’m Canadian.
Bruh
That is hilarious
🤣
When I first heard this speech in 2004, I thought it was one of the three or four greatest examples of political oratory in American history. Eighteen years later, my opinion has not changed.

I’m on page 100 and it’s so good. Obama is an incredibly talented writer.
OMG, I'm telling you coming from NY, without a doubt I thought Hillary was set up to win. Little did I know even Chuck Schumer wanted Obama to run.
Meeeee!
Me!
I bet everyone in the crowd was like. Why can't this be our nominee!?
For sure. He overran the nominee by far. Later employed the nominee to work alongside him, this EARTH!

This is why he became President... Incredible man
It is 2020 but this speech still brings tears and evokes a sense of patriotism and service to mankind...it is speech that makes you want to be an American.
One of the best speech in the world - made by a "skinny kid with the funny name" - truly inspiring
Obama was such a great orator and patriot, just awful his VP is neither
sorry for you , the USA today is no longer good, not even close to good
@@kentou4739 i agree. And this is sad. But we shall never give up hope to make this place better and making America really great again. This jerk in the White House now not intersted in America, he he is only interested in his own advantege. In fact, he is not American. Trump is an Idiot.

Just right now 😊
Who’s here watching this whilst/after reading _A Promised Land?_
Me, me, me
Obama talks about personal responsibility and the immense opportunities offered in America. The sad reality is this speech would be considered “far right” by woke liberals in 2020. They accept nothing less than a narrative of collective victimhood and that America and white people are evil. Scary to see how far left the left has gone.
Me,,,,me me
Me. A Brit, who really envied The USA for having such a leader. I miss this bloke so much.

From time to time I listen to these speeches to remind my self how a real president talks and how a statesman delivers a speech to a nation..... agree or disagree with him this man is unique in his ability to speak and to inspire the nation. I missed him even though I am a Canadian. lol

How about Back 2 back World War Champions? We saved the whole worlds asses from the Nazis
Always comes back to this to regain some hope
I just turned off the news and needed to watch this speech to remind myself to never give up working towards a better future. Sometimes we move 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. (Lately it seems like 10 steps) But we must keep our ideals and continue striving for their manifestations.
I was reading Michelle Obama’s book, “Becoming” and I read the part about his keynote speech and realized I missed out on a milestone that created who the Obamas are today!
Lol that’s why I’m here
The book also made me search for this speech and here I am

What a speech
And on THIS night, A STAR and PRESIDENT was BORN
I love this man. Not everything he envisioned came to fruition, but I can be 100% sure that he always did everything he could to benefit the people of this country. America is going to miss him.
If he'd had remaining eligibility, despite the persistence of the Party of No in Congress, Obama would've been re-elected for a 3rd term--regardless of who the GOP ran as his opposition. Many of Trump's votes were more against That Woman than for him.
But his political agenda is already clear and he stood by his words for the next 12 years!!
You were so right.
He was overly sabotaged.
I am Kenyan but daaaamn I always felt like am American when he was in office. He has taught me alot! Yes we can
Yeah,
US is a land of possible!
Wakenya tuko
He has an impressive voice that commands respect yet not coming off as fearful.
One of the greatest public speakers of all time. Jeez, this guy had the charisma and the gift of the gab.
Funny how there are more Obama signs in the crowd than Kerry lmao.
because everybody knew that Kerry had no shor
Yeah, what's the deal with that?
Nah, they hand them out before every speech. Im pretty sure this wasnt even on the same day as Kerrys speech. I think it was the day before.
I am a political junkie so I saw this speech as it happened. So sad such a great speech was wasted on a dude like Kerry.
Uhhhhh I wouldn't say it got wasted...
This was for John Kerry's nomination, yet the crowd was carrying Obama signs 😂
At the conventions they hand out signs for all the speakers and the crowd holds them up when each one has their turn.
He was running for US Senate
This man born with greatness I am living in Jamaica I am move by his speech every time
Every-time I hear this speech, it brings tears to my eyes. Obama is truly a genius.
I remember vividly one winter's day back in 2004 when I went to visit my grandparents. They had the TV tuned to some news channel and while we ate lunch we had the television running in the background.
When Obama walked on stage and started delivering this speech, it was absolutely magnetic. We stopped eating, turned the volume of the television up, and watched in awe. This was an electrifying speech that grew more inspiring as the minutes passed. I'm grateful that I was witness to this special moment in history.

Diego Chirico right but the people would have chose him that year to replace Kerry. He was a transformer. Only few people have ever communicated any where like that. Kennedy Reagan and Obama May be the three greatest communicators in our history. Obama said and did things that excited all of my Republican friends. As president he had class. Did not bring scandal to the White House. Just honor. He is a dying breed. The president now is not presidential at all. The Democrat nominees can’t carry Obama’s water but some how think they know better than him.
Diego Chirico Inside life
This man speaks, and I can practically feel patriotism running through my blood.
Same emotion same goosebumps. Listening this historical speech in Dec 2023 ❤
Sir, whenever I hear your speech ì feel pain in my heart and your pronunciation and the matter delivered you reminds me of my elder brother 's son!!!
I think Obama's brilliance comes from not only his ability to be a spectacular orator, but to be able to weave gratitude and acknowledgement into every sentence. He takes the stage and immediately thanks others, and then spends the majority of the speech praising others. If you ever listen to his talks, many times he'll praise others without praising himself. That's the sign of a leader.
I saw this live. It was electrifying.
Very good
2023 and this still inspires as it did on day one
Wow
Inspirational even 20 years later
Will go down as one of the USA's greatest President's.

+Nicholas A. Agree with you, top 10 for me! I also checked the wiki page. And the surveys shown were taken only by around 665-1500 people, America has a population of more than 300 million people. Sooo....
And really in a 2014 survey for the Worst president since World War II Barack Obama (33%) was in 1st place and George W. Bush (28%) in 2nd. really?

The audacity of HOPE!
I am shocked at how the Republican party had me duped back in 2004 and blinded me to the greatness of the Democratic party. Even a once-Republican as I was, can wake up to the reality of how essential it is to open one's mind to that basic truth of true freedom does not lay in the Republican party. I am so glad I changed my mind. For good and for ever.
Are u being sarcastic sir?
Enrique Sanchez Brilliant satire!
Some people have no respect for women...I run into a lot of them here.
true freedom does not lay in any political party.
and so it goes...
Greatest political speech of all time !

This speech is gorgeous.
Brilliant, Compelling!!!
It is interesting to watch this speech in 2016 as Obama winds down his Presidency. I look at the crowd, many of them being national political leaders, and they are gob smacked. Some of the faces look like they have experienced a religious moment. Obama is the best orator that I have seen in my lifetime
teleprompter helps
and the rehearsed mlk voice
as if someone using a teleprompter is even noteworthy
and that's just his actual voice....
I think Barack Obama has given better speeches. But this being the first of its kind and the uniqueness of it, and the terms of his argument that became the themes of his campaigns and his presidency were all so new that it took the political by storm.
Previous great Democratic convention speeches were of candidates that never made it to the presidency. Kennedy in 80, Cuomo in 84 etc. Obama's rise from an unknown state senator to President of the United States in a mere four years is unheard of since at least the 1800s. Since Obama 04, we watch conventions to see who will speak in a similar manner and become an overnight star. But so far and I assume it'll be like this for a very long time, they've all fallen short.
+Hasan Ali Tulsi Gabbard might have a similar story. Though her speech at this year's DNC wasn't as powerful as Obama's in 2004, she could definitely be a rising star in years to come.
I know it's just a speech at a convention, but these 15 minutes really changed the course of a country, if you think about it.
Yeah ..turned it into dogshit...loser
@@collindaugherty5170 waaah - Obama would demolish any Republican in a debate on any topic - is he too smart for you or just too black???
@@blaineboyle5997 ... Yeah real smart especially that time he had the NSA spying on every American in this country oops and that time you lied and stole our healthcare oops oh and that wonderful tour where he went around and apologized to all the assholes in the world what a douchebag... Being the president is more about how well you can debate something it's what you can actually do for this country and that douchebag didn't do shit
@@collindaugherty5170 more Republican crying - try somebody that gives a shit about your feelings
@@blaineboyle5997 ... Sorry if facts bother you... Go ahead and worship your false idol...lol
Inspiring and incredible to watch. There is hope again. There always has been, it’s just been obfuscated by years since.
This goes I. The vault as one of the best speeches EVER!!
You don't have to share the same political views with him to appreciate how GREAT this speech is... If this speech is honestly applied in everyone's life, there is hope for humanity
i second that..
YES👍👍😁😁
