Barack Obama said "thank you" or some variant thereof 31½ times at the beginning of this speech. Count it.

I think a friend said it best, "This speech left me speechless."

I've watched this SO many times!

He was amazing last night....i was so touch at the end of the speech!! Yes you can

Possibly the single most amazing & inspirational moment in my life.

All I can say is that I am grateful to be alive today and be able to witness such a historic moment.

we are driving down from Toronto to help the campaign. This was off da HOOK. Good job!

amazing. i cried multiple times.

Brilliant! Just had to watch it again.

OMG, I'm the first person to comment on this video. Obama you were simply amazing. I sat down with my grandmother for 45minutes watching this historic speech. He is simply the best orator I have seen in a long time and deserves to be Americas next president!

One of the best speeches I have ever heard, bar none. And the best moment is when he said "ENOUGH!"

after hearing this i feel like my future is secured.

Great speech and the bio vid prior to his speech was very good as well. Very moving.

This was a speech for the ages. In addition to being extremely articulate, he acknowledged the tremendous contribution of colleagues and explained how we as Americans must work together for the good of everyone through mutual responsibility and humanitarian concern. We, as a human race, can be extremely proud to have this remarkable human being among us, who has the insight and wisdom to guide us what will hopefully be the next eight years. Let's be thankful for this remarkable opportunity.

This speech was truly inspiring. It was amazing. Obama '08

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I live in England so watching your speeches live i have to be up at 3 in the morning. Thankfully my new baby wakes me up. 2 things that inspire me. I love it. Great speech.

Incredible. Thank you so much.

Absolutely amazing.

Man the intro would have been a nice starting point - it gets the point that much further across. That introduction video with his entrance sold me into voting for him.

That speech kicked ass! I was glued to the TV until the very end!

Inspiring stuff. I'm from Europe and it's great to hear a passionate politician. The hair's on the back of my neck really stood on end at the close.

This was a truly great speech. If I hadn't recognized some wordings from "The Audacity of Hope", I would almost have thought that Aaron Sorkin wrote it.

I had tears in my eyes, because this speech I know it might sound cliche but gave me HOPE...I have hope that my future will be a good one

I was there! I am forever greatful to Obama for moving the speech to Mile High, so us regular folks could be a part of history!

great speech, only problem i have with this video is it doesn't show 85,000 people that place was amazing, but thanks for posting it so soon

someone knows the music's name that played in the beggining ?

'Thank you, thank you so much, thank you, thank you'... NOT READY!!!

anybody know what the opening music is?

Simply....whoa. To say your not moved by this would simple be crazy. A truely elegant yet strong speach...

I did not sleep last night until 5:00 am becuase of this man. I needed to listen to this man speak even from far away Germany.

YES!! I am 100% behind you!!

Fifty years from now, this speech will still rate right up there with MLK's "I have a dream" one.

This left me speechless....absolutely amazing!!

Very inspiring. Let be light and love be with you and people around you. Sri Aurobindonian

This is the best speech I have seen Barack give so far. He laid out his whole plan, rebutted every criticism leveled at him, highlighted the tremendous importance of this election and the issues we face, went straight at John McCain and did it all in a way that inspired anyone who watched it...even some of the most right wing bobble heads on TV were impressed. If you missed it last night, I implore you to watch the entire speech, turn up the surround sound. GOBAMA!

MY favorite part where I even felt like standing up and shouting was when he said, "Eight is ENOUGH!"

So glad I got to see this live. Fantastic speech.

Thank you so much for this speech! Holding my breath these last months were not in vain. I can exhale NOW. What a relief! Obama and Michelle, I love you guys so much!

What does the crowd start chanting at about 9:55? I'm thinking that I would be "yes we can," but it doesn't really sound like that.

Everyone remember this moment for this a moment to remember. Thank you Barack. Obama 08!

name of the song in the start?

such an amazing speech. Barack hit all the right points, taking aim directly at the negative tactics used by McCain. I felt like my heart was going to leap out of my chest while I watched this live. This is history, and we are living it now.

that was brilliant, it made me cry.

Holy crap I hope there were a lot of people watching this speech.

Magical. Absolutely astounding.

I can't understand why there hasn't been a comment yet... Anyway, I saw this speech live and here on KZfaq. I don't care who you are, this man is a man who is presidential. There are only a hand full of presidents that can take the words off the page in a manner that is truly amazing and he can do that. I don't know if he writes his own speeches, but they are world class. And that is what we need a world class president. He can convey the American sprit to the world like no one else can.

I had lost hope in this country until I watched this speech. As I listened to each line being delivered I was amazed at how much his views reflect my own. I believe in him and I believe in change. So on Nov. 4th let's do our part to bring about change. Yes We Can because Eight Is Enough!!!!

BARACK...... Speechless.

I've often been a proud American, and I've occasionally been a hopeful American, this video leaves me more proud and more hopeful than I can ever recall.

I am so thankful that I was able to witness history!

i feel stupid asking this but what song did Obama come out to?

You have the singular honor of being his First You Tube voice as part of the DNC Obama Grand Moment - Good On You. I loved his speech and all that he stands for - loved his reference to "fear and smear" - I pray that this henchmen political tactics will not bring a shameful victory to the Republicans like they did against Kerry.

Am i the only one that gets goosebumps every time he speaks?

"And the ship's wise men Will remind you once again That the whole wide world is watchin'" Bob Dylan

Absolutely Stunning

I am so grateful that I am alive to see and hear President Obama. I wish that my grandfathers had lived to see this, as well as Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King. November can't get here soon enough, and I have such great hope for the future. :D

one of the best speeches i ever heard in my life

lack words 2 express how i feel

What was the opening song?

What a speech, what a guy! Totally riveting and compelling.

Perfect, beautiful, inspiring...exactly what I (as an independent) needed to hear.

why is this video unavailable???

I was in awe last night. Barack you brought the house down! Hyde Park stand up! We're taking this all them way! I love you, Barack!!

Spot on! We cannot go on as a country with our heads held high without the wisdom, courage, strength and leadership of this fine man.

i was in tears..

this was great. did feel a little sorry for how many times Barack had to say "thak you" but i guess people love him that much. Yes We Can!!!!

simply amazing

In contrast, fusion requires precisely controlled conditions of temperature, pressure and magnetic field parameters in order to generate net energy. If the reactor were damaged, these parameters would be disrupted and the heat generation in the reactor would rapidly cease.

incredible!

If he is going to run the country the way he has run his campaign, OMG, the future looks incredibly bright! Tears, Tears, and more Tears last night!This was by far the best thing I've ever witnessed or seen in my life time! Thank God for this Bro!

amazing!

The Time Is Now....I cant wait for November To Arrive

How many "Thank you"s did you guys count?

Perfect!

The intro music is City of Blinding Lights, by U2

Amazing speech, and a wonderful moment in history, I believe he can deliver, the constant in life is change, and prayerfully it is a change for the moment.

Dear Future President, You have already made history by accepting this nomination. You now embark on a unchartered path and I hope that you will continue to make history by not letting those who support you down. Godspeed and I hope to wake up on November 5th with a feeling of hope and prosperity rather than dread for my country's future.

4 more years!!!

2 minutes and 42 seconds of straight applause. this is wonderful.

I know the feeling but please don't quit as if it is a done deal. Keep fighting, make it happen and work to keep this going. With any luck, we live the days of the American Camelot over again (:

I believe in you, please don't let us down.

5 STARS! BRILLIANT SPEECH!

This man is a man...Man of passion and compassion...Someone who cares and has truthful words that he not only speaks to get elected but believes in what he says.

This speech gave me chills. Another truly brilliant piece of oratory from Barack Obama. I cannot wait to hear his State of the Union addresses!

You hit all the high points. You quoted the "Insanity Definition" with ease. You asked my question about OBL in his cave.

Great Speech by a great candidate. Wish you the best of luck!

amazing

You inspire me Barack

amazing speech!!!

Truly an amazing speech. Nice to see him finally fight back against McCain.

I feel honoured to have personally witnessed this historic moment. Moved to the core.. Obama is a leader that combines softness and resolve, wisdom and compassion. A blessing to the world.

Powerful

Oh man, I cried all through it. I've been crying all week! Michelle's mother started it, and then Bo, and the second Barack said "I accept" - I lost it again. ALL are happy tears! I'm in love with the whole family, and Joe Biden is so likeable, and terrific on the issues.... it's just a perfect team. I can't wait to do my weekly voter registrations on Mon & Tues!

fantastic

Very good speech. I love what Chris Mathews said: "My critics will get mad at me for saying it was inspiring, but to hell with my critics." Damn straight.

Stunningly competent! Such a contrast to what we're used to. Even the critics like Buchanan were super-impressed. Obama/Biden is the kind of talented team that comes along once in several generations if we're lucky. And at this moment, we really need them... "Enough!", is right! God bless 'em.

It was nice to hear him refer to people as OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS

now i know why i repect this man. in my life, i have witnessed the making of a legend. god's favor be upon you and i hope you win this election. there is no other option...

OM SVASTI We appreciate Mr. Obama´s speech about individual & mutual responsibility. It relates to Buddhist teaching about interdependency and noble ideal of Bodhisattva. LET US CHANGE ALL NOBLE DREAMS INTO INDESTRUCTIBLE REALITY FOR EVERYONE. May all NOBLE and MEANINGFUL INCREASE. And KEEP BARACK OBAMA´S PROMISSE A-LIVE ! With full support: OM MANI PADME HUM SHRI

Hi world, I'm a 25 year old regular normal girl from Germany and I just would like to say that I'm so inspired by this man and his eloquence, I even went to Berlin to see him speak and grown men cried afterwards. Today my dead called me: "You have to watch that Obama, it's so beautiful, it brings me to tears." I can totally relate... Oh, and watch "barack to the future" here on youtube, it's so funny and unbelievable and yet so true. There's a black nominated for presidency! Yaaay!
