    I noticed that too, one girl in the crowd was singing along haha.

  3. She can marry me whenever she wants


    Full speech:



  4. 00:57-02:15 on the 2nd video might be my favorite part of the speech.

    This country has more wealth than any nation... But that's not what makes us rich.
    We have the most powerful military in history but that's not what makes us strong.
    Our university, our culture... are all the envy in the world, but... that's not what keeps the world coming to our shores.
    What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on Earth. The belief that our destiny is shared, that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations, so that the freedom for which so many Americans have fought for and died fore comes with responsabilities as well as rights and among those are love, and charity, and duty, and patriotism. That's what makes America great!


    ...

    Wow
  5. And well, 05:58-06:30 is so fucking amazing that I can't even start to describe it.

    I believe we can keep the promise of our founding, the idea that if you're willing to work hard, it doesn't matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love. It doesn't matter whether you're black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, abled, disabled, gay or straight. You can make it here in America if you're willing to try.


    *immense cheer*

    Sounds a lot like

    "Not just an American dream, or an Asian dream, or a European dream..."

  7. Yeah, sure! Sometimes I was thinking "Wow, this sounds really familiar, I could swap his and Bono's face and the message would remain the same" haha
  8. let the King sing ... "I have a dream..."
  9. I think one of Bono's finest moments was during Pride at the 2008 inaugural ceremony (I'm sure that's spelt wrong) when he said "not just an isreali dream, but also a palestinian dream". Speaks for itself.
  10. This is what happens when the takers outnumber the makers.
  11. I'm glad that Obama won, but I'm not thrilled by him anymore. I watched some debates between him and Romney and they're not THAT different.

    The only thing that I give him credits as someone who's not citizen of USA is Obamacare. Wars 'for democracy' are still going on, Guantanamo is still working.

    I hope that he'll do better in another four years.
  12. He knows America will hold his ass acountable.
