I will join the Peace Corps if you would pay for my college education. I will serve as long as you want. I'm all yours.

Amazing! Until I ... ( 2 months ago by chonigman)

Amazing! Until I saw this speech I was unaware that the federal government had the ability to increase public school teacher pay and benefits or that it could control the hiring of more district teachers. I was also unaware that there is a causality vinculum between school funding and student achievement. It upsets me that the Republicans won't join Senator Obama in educating our youth. A new hope for our children's future is change I can believe in. Gobama '08.

Are any of you ... ( 2 months ago by winter599)

Are any of you versed in Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto of 1848? At 8.27 min. to 9:52, Obama's speech has a VERY scary resemblance to the Manifesto. Do you really want a President who will raise your taxes, socialize everything (as in BIG government) and will have tea with ruthless & mad dictators without pre-conditions? Wow, he speaks well and has charisma and un-informed citizens think Obama will make a great leader. The President of America is no place for on the job training folks.

Funny, he wants to ... ( 2 months ago by denverhop)

Funny, he wants to be Commander in Chief but he never mentioned anything about serving in our military. Apparently, the only noble and worthwhile service an American can offer is to help the economically disadvantaged. The best thing these grads can do is go out and become titans of industry, for it is they who create the jobs. They should go out and make tons of money, because it is by the creation of wealth that others are able to rise above poverty. It used to be called the American dream

"From each ... ( 2 months ago by denverhop)

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." I think that's what he was trying to say.

What a no brainer ... ( 2 months ago by nzrockdj)

What a no brainer you are winter599. Do you want a president like Bush who has basically bankrupt your country. You talk about communism .. guess where USA borrows most of their money from .. CHINA the biggest communist country in the world. McCain is over the hill at 72, Obama is the answer

You are so sad. ... ( 2 months ago by bistokna70)

You are so sad. You are such a denial. America is about equality. Now I don't know how much education you have but I'm sure you understand what equality means. So, I don't care if Obama even sounds like Jesus Christ the Lord (who talks about equality), to me he IS the President on the United States.

What an inspiration ... ( 2 months ago by bsblova2122)

What an inspiration to our nation! I will do anything I can to get Obama as our president!
I just recently traveled the world with Semester at Sea and its funny, because I haven't been able to get my mind off of the need for worldwide service. I want to serve him and our world. America needs Obama but the world needs him, too! I can't wait to join the Peace Corps under President Obama! I will be honored to have him lead our country!

OBAMA WANTS CHANGE? ... ( 2 months ago by IPOMonster)

OBAMA WANTS CHANGE??
1. Retreat from Iraq -- millions of Iraqi's are killed for aiding the US
2. Iran forcibly takes Iraq and controls the majority of Mid-East Oil. Think gas prices are high now?
3. Repeals Bush tax cuts = tax hike for ALL
4. Raises Corp tax rates -- businesses stop hiring, expanding, and creating jobs
5. To cover their higher taxes - business passes this on to the consumer by increasing the cost of their goods and services. You and I suffer
CHANGE???
Humph.

Lets think about ... ( 2 months ago by hinkellc)

Lets think about this. We will use simple math to make it easy. The gov. taxes the oil company $0.10 a gallon for $4 gallon of gas. The oil company make, we will say $1 of profit off each gallon, then raise the price of gas up to $4.10 to offset the loss in profit so that they still make $1 profit off a gallon. Does this effect their profit? NO! Does this effect my wallet? Yes, I pay an extra $0.10 a gallon that the government gets. In 2007, they paid 30billion in taxes, is that enough for you?

Wonderful speech Mr ... ( 2 months ago by Ryufan100)

Wonderful speech Mr. Obama! He will inspire the world and I pray for him to win this election. GO OBAMA!

America is NOT ... ( 2 months ago by sureshot649)

America is NOT about equality, and NEVER has been. It's about guaranteeing specific INDIVIDUAL rights, and by doing so, giving everyone an equal chance. Affirmative action, or welfare, or anything like that is totally against those individual rights.

just for details, ... ( 2 months ago by sureshot649)

just for details, they only make .10 cents profit per gallon, but we pay .50 cents tax..
;-D

I feel sory for your rational. You want more polluting gas. You want them to drill in Alaska and off the coast of Florida for a TEMPORARY fix to our overall problem. You want to know what gas does to us - turn on your car go stick you nose near the tailpipe for 10 minutes. If you don't pass out, write down how you feel. Now imagine 2 Billion of those cars running for an average 24/7 for the past 30 years, not including trucks and factory pollution.

I'm informed enough ... ( 2 months ago by Ana1106)

I'm informed enough to know that there are atleast 2 dozen new ways to run our cars. Do a little research. Electric is a way, but most of our electricity is coal produced. Their are patents on the market that allow cars to run on WATER. Yep good ole water. Everything from Garbage to vegetable oil has been found to run cars. Yet some folks just can't see past OIL, MORE OIL. No this is a new day, that requires new change. That 20th century stuff isn't gonna work now. Change we can believe in.
