I love Yo-Yo Ma. I have two of his albums on my iPod and can listen to him all day long. Friends of mine who live in the Boston area say he's the nicest guy ever, too. So I love it when nice guys win. Congratulations, Mr. Ma!
Gosh, if i'm not mistaken- Obama is actually talking heartfelt- without prompters- about Yoyo's actual career. This is incredible to think in the age of trump; trump being a man who can't tie his own shoelace. It's just weird man, to see a president actually speak a sentence.
Aloha to you Yo-Yo Ma and so glad to see you were honored by President Barrack Obama in 2011 !!!!!! Am 79 years old and I have been blessed to hear your glorious music !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take care and God bless !!!!!! Robert S.J. Hu August 9, 2021.
sausagekay chinchilla You better take care of that cold. I suggest you sit back, relax and watch the many YT videos of Trump's visits to the flooded areas in Texas and Louisiana so you can see the compassion he and Melania had for the victims of this terrible tragedy. He and Melania's involvement in the food lines, supply distributions, talking to the victims in the shelters and the spectators who came to see him when he landed at the airport was impressive. If you can watch these videos and truly say that you weren't moved by the president's actions then you have an abnormal hatred of Trump that will not serve you well since he is going to be around for a long, long time.
Yep, he has such compsssion even for those "good people" marching with the NAZIs and KKK idiots. Yep fine man. Maybe those Puerto Ricans out there on the big island surrounded by a lot of water will speak of his compassion also? Problem is, you can't see that this man is not qualified by temperment or intellect to be president.
The world best cello player....a hugger...the sexyest man alive... a great human being!!!! What a great speech... how sweetly - almost humbly - Yo-Yo Ma received it!! Bravo! Congrats! + hugs of course
@@Dr.Nagyonfaj You've got to be kidding!! Yo-Yo Ma is one of the greatest musicians and humanitarians of our time. Obama is nothing but a corrupt politician.
@@Ace1King1 You are absolutely 100% correct. Which is why I said that is what OBAMA thinks of HIMSELF - that probably in his eyes, he was thinking what an honor it was for everyone else in the room to be in his presence. That man has one of the worst messiah-complexes. I just wish Yo-Yo Ma had been honored by a better man. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.
***** It is a fact. You have to be born in the USA in order to run for the presidency. So people like Henry Kissinger is ineligible because he was born in Europe.
***** It is one of those arbitrary "rules" that the USA had chosen to adopt. Different countries have different ways of doing things. For example, you don't have to be born in the UK to be Prime Minister of the UK. I suppose the US being a relatively new country (it only became independent in 1776,) and the country is made of mostly of immigrants, she wanted to be sure that the top office was held by somebody who was "totally" American. Who knows, maybe one day, even the US would change their rules.
Elon Musk Tesla Fan! Naturalized citizens don’t qualify, but children born to US citizens in other countries do. Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the US Constitution sets the qualifications to run for President as: •• being a natural born citizen •• being at least 35 years old •• residing within the borders of the United States for at least 14 years
Yo-Yo Ma is an amazingly humble and respectful human being, and I can’t help thinking that if Obama had not put down Trump so badly at that White House dinner so many years ago, Trump would not have run for office and the world would be a very different place today.
Whether you like President Obama or not, conservatives and liberals can agree that Obama honored the right people that day, including Yo-Yo Ma.
I love the guy. Love his facial expressions when he is being praised--so humble! :)

Yes, full and intelligent sentences at a college level, I miss President Obama! Trump speaks at a 4th grade level and it embarrasses me to no end.

Vous étiez ma inspiration que me poussée dan le monde de violoncelle, depuis 1988. Je vous remercie, Ma.
*sigh* remember when we had a president to be proud of? Good times.
You can be proud of Trump. After all, he's one of the best presidents we've ever had.

I hope Obama realized how much of an honor it was to be in the same room with Yo-Yo.
I'm thinking Obama felt exactly the opposite - what an honor it was to be in the same room as him.

Obama must be relieved that Yo Yo Ma can't run for the presidency. Yo Yo was born in Paris.

Yo-Yo Ma is an American cellist, trust me, I know.
🌈❤️❤️❤️🌈
Well, Yo yo ma is better than any American cellist, trust me, i know.
Maybe Obama should learn the cello. 😊
thought yo-yo ma was like t-pains side kick or sumthin

What a miserable take.
He is smarter.
They did the great jobs, but I can feel a little bit your jealousy through your video cover.🙈😂
