Sassy!

Is it . . . is it okay for a major politician to say these things? Am I living in a country where this is okay now?

So awesome.

I look forward to Cal Thomas insinuating he's the Antichrist.

I can smell what Barack is cooking.

So good.

This man is class personified.

Him being elected will be the best thing to happen to the US since forever (just a humble Canadian's opinion stop throwing broken bottles Enjoy)

I like the shout-outs to non-believers. Bout time we got some pandering.

I love this guy so much more now. A politician who talks about the Bible AND ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS IT? Holy shit.

Of course, it's just a matter of time before this gets plastered all over Fox News. Well, not this, but out-of-context clips of him saying "we are no longer a Christian nation," "a Muslim nation," and a nation of nonbelievers.

+1000 stars for the line about the sermon on the mount.

Did Obama hire Julia Sweeney as his speech writer?

Haha, I love this guy. I look forward to see what color and texture of bile people will spew in this direction.

Love this dude, and I love what he's saying, but I don't love the fact that we're in a situation where he needs to say it. Let's hope that can change.

Every time she hears his voice, Michelle Malkin's eyes cross a little bit more.

Well... shit.

I just want to give him a great big hug.

\m/

I'm confused. This...feeling inside. Could it be hope?

I'm getting tempted to vote for the O-Bomb over nader now...

Oh FUUUUUCK YES. This is indeed what the five-star button is for.

Christ almighty his balls must be huge.

This man makes my atheist ass yell 'HALLEY LOO YAH!'

I don't know what the big fuss is guys. Just because he got to become the presidential candidate thanks to affirmative action doesn't mean he's any good.

Also, don't you think he's a bit TOO black? I mean asfsajfsdhflkasdjslfkjwflgajkgasfk.jqhlasdfklasdsdaklfh;flksdhfs;k lfah;lsdkfhasdl;fhsdfsdfsdf
sdfsdajkfsdfkl;dsfl;sadkfsd;fklsdj;flksjf;sdklfj;aklfasd;fkls< br />
Fuck.

It's like I've travelled to an alternate dimension where leaders are allowed to say sane things in public.

I can't believe this is real.

I'm torn between "Holy shit, that was amazing" and "Now more than ever do I think that someone is going to kill this man before the elections occur".

I'm not going to bother checking the Youtube comments for this.

I guess the dawning of the Age of Aquarius came a little late?

The 21st century has come, bitches, and it's going to be a good one.

Now that was a speech on religion. C'mon McCain, what do you have to say to that one?

THAAAAAAT'S the stuff!!!!

I wonder if FNC's coverage of this will include the phrase: "Oh no he din't!" plus some snapping.

I'm just happy he didn't say '...and we are a scientologist nation'. Amen.

I want to clone myself so I can vote for this man multiple times.

It's refreshing to hear a Christian who's actually read the Bible (and maybe even follows the red-letter text, rather than just reading Leviticus and Revelation like the Evangelicals)...almost as refreshing as hearing a Presidential candidate who is likely Smarter Than Us.

Also, his point about "whose Christianity would be the official one?" absolutely NEEDS to be made.

Yeah, I'll five star that.

This guy might be president.

He just says what he thinks, not pre-canned sound bites that have been focus-grouped and rehearsed. And what he thinks is always thoughtful and correct.

Not really an Obama fan, but this is a pretty easy five to give.

I can finally see a glimmer of light at the end of this godforsaken tunnel

Is this the most 5-starred video on poetv? Just possibly.

This is basically the same as that scene in the West Wing, but even better

6 billion stars

Calling it now: Obama wins in a landslide only to be assassinated before his first term is finished. Just because I'm too cynical to believe something with so much potential can end well.

I think I might actually vote proudly and without regret for the first time in my life.

I vote James Dobson AND Leviticus, please!

Oops forgot to favourite this how silly of me

"So, before we get carried away, let's read our Bibles."

A message that's arrived about thirty years too late, but a good one regardless.

This is honestly the first time I've ever heard a politician talk about religion in a way that didn't disgust me in some way, and I am so not used to that.

I like how the non-5 star votes didn't leave a comment.

If he gets assassinated during his first term I propose he be treated as martyr of a Revolution. Just saying.

This just in: almo in the running for PoE TV's most worthless chomo nig.

Holy shit

Something...strange happens at the end...

This is a fantastic speech. -1 for the crazy editing at the end, though. Makes me nervous that something important was cut.

Holy cow, does this mean I don't have to be ashamed of being Protestant anymore??

And he's sticking to the actual text of the Bible??

This is madness!

Too smart, too sane. Either some loony's gonna shoot him or the Right will conspire to bring down his presidency.

I'll happily hand out my 5-stars now, but I'll decide whether or not to favourite it in 4 years.

What he meant to say was "All infidels must die. Accept Allah or be slaughtered! ALLAH AKBAR!!!"

Well, he's not Mike Gravel, but he'll do.

Nothing new to add, but it is worth checking out the full version for more rational awesomeness.

This one's a keeper, America.

Well, its the pluralist, non-pandering, religious guy, or the non-religious, pandering to extremists guy.

Gee, isn't this a hard choice?

I wonder what it will be like to have a president that I can actually be proud of. I can hardly remember what that feels like.

Yes we can

Thank god religious people don't understand big words.

I'm watching this at 1:06 AM on Tuesday, January 20. This man will be president in ten hours.

No mention of Xenu.

Pointing out the divisions within Christianity itself? Saying it's okay for other religious viewpoints (including atheism) to exist? Namedropping the Sermon on the Mount?

God damn do I love me some hot sweaty rational thought.

I like this.
