 * Nominate and support. TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:00, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I think there should be a video version of this --Guerillero &#124; My Talk  00:13, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I was unable to download the file at the source. In fact this audio is a sound capture of the video.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:00, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose—starts with loud mike noise, then off-topic comments on "the networks". Insufficient documentation—here or at the SDP—about the issues involved. Concerns about what distinguishes any old political interview or speech from the rest, to qualify not just as notable, but as featured. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tony1 (talk • contribs) 03:06, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I tried to do some cutting to remove the first 30 seconds. The issue is that the mic was too close or the processing was bad that there is static all over this file. There is too much for me to try to remove the static. (There are some other mic noises that aren't exactly pretty from what sounds like his breath.) --Guerillero &#124; My Talk  05:55, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Some of the "static" sounds like camera noises to me. Graham 87 13:20, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It sounds like he is standing close to someone typing on an old typewriter. This sound is difficult to remove. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TonyTheTiger (talk • contribs) 13:37, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm getting towards the stage of suggesting that the criteria should state a requirement that the transcript of speeches be places on the SDP, if not available through an internal or external link. That would make it more usable by editors and readers, and would be important to judging whether the text is "among our very best work". Tony   (talk)  07:54, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The transcript is there.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 08:10, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Poor quality and one of his less important speeches.TCO (reviews needed)  19:34, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose Poor quality audio - the audio on the video version is better; there is evidence of mic-clipping. Illustrates the page Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories very well. I would support if the audio was replaced. Ben (Major Bloodnok) (talk) 21:50, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Not promoted. I think Guerillero forgot to close it, so I've done it instead. —  James ( Talk •  Contribs ) • 5:47pm • 07:47, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
 * There is no way this can pass so I am closing it. Guerillero &#124; My Talk  04:25, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
