i hate the way they’re trying to make this an ‘i have a dream’ iconic speech. i think obama should be president but if they want to parallel him to martin luther king they shouldn’t cuz martin ended up shot.

btw, hilary won’t win. you still have people in the world who would rather die than listen to a woman… & being the president’s wife doesn’t give you white house experience.

This is a cool video but it doesn’t matter how many celebrities line up behind him I’m still not changing my vote. I’m tired of all these celebrities and big political names telling my to take a second look, vote for Obama.

Great video, but I’m still not voting for Obama. I don’t know why, but whenever “Hollywood” picks their candidate, I tend to vote for the other person. People are treating Obama like he’s Jesus or something.

And, I agree with the person above who said that Hillary won’t win. But, Obama won’t win the general election, either. Just like there are blacks who said they wouldn’t vote for Hillary if she won, there are lots of people who will not vote for a black man, no matter what - and many of these people are even Democrats!. Fact is, neither of them will win the general. Obama is just too liberal, and the country, for the most part, is moderate.

as a non-American, I’ll say this “ad” is better than Clinton’s tearful speech.

Oh I read some of your posts and I think some of you have a childish mentality i.e the person who said they vote the opposite of celebrities just cause. And the person who posted that link about health insurance, its just that, an opinion(says so at the top of the page, although I did read it). I for one don’t know who I’m voting for, except that it will be Hilary or Obama.

Are you fools so far removed from 9/11 that you are ready to vote for a president with muslim roots???? Even if there is only a .01% chance that he is still involved with them, that is a chance I am not willing to take. I could get up and yell change too…I’m a republican but am voting for hilliary today to be sure Barack Hussain Obama doesn’t get in. (although I’m sure that will come back to bite me when hillary chooses him as her running mate)
