CBS spent 2 years following barack o'bama and never found out about why he lost his law license, why the birth certificate is fake and has computer generated layers to make it look legal, why didn't you talk to classmates in school and confirm he was actually there. Why didn't CBS spend as much time trying to figure who he is and why he needed so many social security numbers and also so many passports? What country did he actually go to school in? It's a shame you wasted so much time, no proof!

Thank you, 60 Minutes, for putting all of your segments about Barack Obama into one show. I had seen them all the first time, and it was nice to revisit the journey of President-Elect Barack Obama and his lovely family.

Great video! We are full of hope and we are full of despair. Obama represents the best of America - thoughtful, measured, intelligent, pragmatic, and inspiring. We need to all come together and become unified as Americans in order to help solve our daunting problems. With Obama at the helm of the executive branch, I have great hope that YES WE CAN and WE WILL. Noone said it would be easy, but where there''s hope, there''s a will.

As I am a Cuban American mother of two boys, that are also mixed cultured individuals, I am proud to inform them that we have a mixed cultured leader of the United States of American, and that whatever dreams they have it can be achieve regardless of race, creed or ***. I raise my boys to work hard and to believe that hope and the love for God life will be bless in many ways. I wished that my father, that was in the United States Army could have seen this histroic event. He always wanted me to enroll into the military, ever since I was a teen, and now that I am 28 years old and in college for business; I am proud to servive my country under the leadership of Obama and currently will be participating in the Air Force on Jan 15,2009. God Bless you and your Family President Obama. Thank You for Giving Hope to My young multiculured men and all individuals of the world.

Thank U CBS for reporting on a courageous, tenacious, flamboyant individual. He is truly an american whose represents what the true meaning of the United States constitution was established. The continual attempts to undermine this working class president illustrates that continual control of the wealthy elite wants to destory the true meaning of the constitution. The Obama family all of them immediate & extended lifes'' have changed forever. Yet, President & Mrs. President have a dedication to their family dynamics that is admirable. This country of immigrants founded for all Americans has a history of suppression & oppression to any race, enthinicity, culture, or relegion to support the wealthy elite of any of the former. The current state of the US & world economy,environment,& politics has finally effected the working middle class to the point that change is needed. I implore the media to respect this ordinary American & his family that constitution provides. They are ordinary americans who need & deserve their privacy.
Viva OBAMA.

iam from Australia and i just want to say alot of aussies follow american politics. ive been following obama for awhile i have been watching the debates online from a long time ago. every tv channel in australia was airing full coverage of the day of the election and when he won , i cried. lol .

he is a great guy and you can tell they are a really good family. iam very excited to see how things would change in the future and how he can contribute to future decisions and planning.

i just want everyone from the US know that in aus we even had polls here before he won and over 70% of australians supported him.


Obama seems very genuine and real wich is what i love about him. i know alot of politics are bad with lies and coverups and trying to make your own name better but i cant imagine Obama doing anything like that. he seems very genuine and real and honest. i think if in the future he does make a mistake. i think unlike some presidents. **cough cough** (we all know who) he would actually own up to it and admit his mistakes.
