I listen to this man speak and I hear no divisiveness. I hear no identity politics. I hear a man, a faithful man, a presidential man, speaking to people to dream big. I love it!
Its 2023 and I keep coming back here to watch this speech and being inspired. This man is one in a billion. I am not even American and I feel he impacted the world positively.
After that speech I felt like an American, and I’m Australian.
To think this during this speech he wasn't even running for president. That crowd sounded like they wanted him to be president then and there.
One of the speeches I often listen to, as an inspiration. I'm not even American, but a Burmese guy who is trying to make things right in Myanmar. This just gives me chills everytime I watch it. If I'm feeling down, I would even recite this speech to reinvigorate my energy.
"Must've been a good speech"
Who’s watching this in 2020 to remind themselves what a real President was like?
This is 2022, but i am still sobbing, my eyes filled with tears watching this speech again; I am not American and i dont live in America but I cant stop listening to this man;...Why cant other leaders think, speak and act with passion, love and energy like this man?...This is hope to humanity, not just for America/Americans..This speech is hope to the living, and honestly i believe it
"The hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him too" Incredible public speaker. I miss this man
I watched this speech live, as a 15 year old adolescent, and I said "that man will be the first black President" I was right, and I'm so thankful for Barack Obama!
One of the greatest speeches ever. The greatest orator of our generation. We are so lucky to have had him. Makes me proud to be American. I really really hope one day we can again have someone on his level.
If it wasn't for John Kerry we might have never known Barack Obama. Thank God for John Kerry selecting Obama for this speech.
Whatever your political opinions on him may be, it's hard to deny that Obama is the best orator among politicians in this generation.
Every single word of this. THIS is what the country needs right now. 🇺🇸
Jesus, this is the first time i've seen this and it is incredible. I wonder how many people in the room were watching this man and thinking "That right there is our next President."
I'm finishing Michelle's book on my small apartment balconey in Nairobi and it's so hard not to dream....
When I first heard this speech, I knew in my heart this guy was going to be President one day ...
Reading Michelle Obama's book.....she speaks about this pivotal speech, so I am watching to remind myself of that marvelous day when Barack Obama was introduced to America. Remembering the pride I felt listening to his striking and meaningful words. He really was a president in the making.
I'm not even an American and this sent chills down my spine
