The Most Viewed Video on YouTube!
Edited on Sat Aug-30-08 05:51 PM by RazBerryBeret
Obama's DNC speech.

335,523 views. and that view counter doesn't record it unless you watch the entire video...and it's 45 minutes long! it the version from obamadotcom (official obama youtube channel)

I think that says a lot!

my 70 year old mother (former Hillary supporter) was gushing about the speech...she even used the word "awesome" twice! I'm not sure I've ever heard her say that!!!

GoBama!

(added the link on edit, pass it around as much as we can! I know the campaign sent it out too!)

4. I appreciate the problem though. After a week of *great* speeches....
One is left without adjectives to describe Obama's.

15. Hey dude, that speech was awesome.
Now come arrest me. ;)

I've been saying dude for forty years. You are never to old to be cool, bad, phat and whatever the latest term is, only too old to be hot, smokin and whatever that newest such term is. Okay, maybe I am getting too old since I don't know what the terms are. I guess it is time to watch a little MTV. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Too old. (smilie needed walking bent with a cane)

8. My 90 year old mom loved the speech too
She was a Republican most of her life, and she's voting Obama. She really liked the way Obama talked against McCain's policies rather than telling lies about his character. She's really mad about McCain telling lies and taking the low road. She was impressed with Susan Eisenhower's speech and told me that the Democrats are "like the Republican Party was 50 years ago"--which to her is a compliment!
