Isn’t it amazing that nearly 10 years later, we are still watching old Obama videos. I know I certainly did the last 4 years if only to remind myself that once, we had an eloquent, thoughtful, generous and gracious man at the helm of the country.
I probably come back here once a month to watch this video over the past 3+ years to remind myself what decency looks like and that there are good people in this world
He was not fired. He did not walk out. He left on his own accord and with grace. How many where fired or forced to leave in Trump's administration in under 4years? How many where presented with gifts by Trump? None! Zero.
Exactly! Trump is a *selfie-king*, only cares about himself and use others like a Toilet Roll 🧻🧻 for wiping away his ass 🍑💩🚽 and tossing them in a bin 🗑🚮
The spectacle of an angry infant too cowardly to talk to the people he's firing, and too lazy to have a letter dictated. Firing important government figures by tweet, such an embarrassment that he was president.
The Trump administration's turnover rate is very high, around 95% in 4 years, whether they are fired, terminated, removed or stepped down. Just one simple example, a total of 5 WH press secretaries under the Trump administration in 4 years, compared to Obama's only 3 WH press secretaries in 8 years. And most of the staff under the Obama administration were so respectful, proud and loyal to their bosses, because Obama treated his staff with kindness and respect, treating them like a big WH family, very much the opposite of a Trump administration. Working under the Trump administration is like a nightmare, whenever someone is fired.
The good ole days when a president was not peddling conspiracy theories, unfounded accusations, and not playing golf more than any US president to date..
He played more golf in four years then all the other presidents put together. After him and his supporters bitched and moaned about Obama playing golf for eight years.
There's an old saying that goes like this "If you want to have friends, you have to first be a friend." Pres. Obama and Michelle were just that..........friends as well as leaders in our government. They were "touchable" down to earth just like us. I miss sooo many things about those days Pres. Obama served as our President. The evening concerts at the White House, Michelle's garden, the two of them dancing, etc. the delightful holidays with all the kids around, their love of family, friends AND each other. And yet there was a definite respect and gratitude by this country for their positions and the responsibilities they tried so honestly to fulfill for the good of the people. The world around us saw that in them and in us as well, and in that we had the respect and trust of many worldwide. We must each one strive with every fiber of our being to reclaim all those character traits as a government of individuals all with families, friends, and loved ones to care for and about, that was initially founded to be by the people, and for the people. God help us.................
I don't know why youtube popped up this video... but it's great watching and hearing a president that does not make me want to rip off my ears and poke out my eyes.. when I hear and see him.
Just being able to construct a decent off the cuff speech without ridiculing anyone is sorely missed in all honesty. What did we do replacing him with that orange cheeto, how undignified.
Make no mistake, I really like Obama, despise Trump and still can't believe the US went from a Harvard Educated lawyer to the orange cheeto as you put it, can't imagine this speech is "off the cuff". Off the cuff would infer a speech that wasn't prepared, yet he presented the press secretary with a gift. It wasn't off the cuff, but it was sincere which is really what matters when sending an employee off.
President Obama may have made mistakes. But his integrity & sincerity is evident in all that he does. He wanted the people to benefit, be happy and help others, leading by example - not just for America but for the whole World.
It's half past midnight and I am sitting in bed watching this and feeling nostalgic about a president who commanded respect from the press and created a welcoming environment where his press secretary actually got to shine...amazing what 4 years can do
@@Binara it's just so pathetic when intelligent beings deliberately decide to be dumb just so they can win an argument like you're doing right now. So sad!!
I doubt very much that trump has ever choked up so much as a thank you in his miserable life.....I forgot how much more enjoyable it was to actually have a president with an actual sense of humor....
Yes David I was thinking the same thing the only words everybody else is going to hear from Trump is you’re fired can you imagine what people kids and adults 50 years from now say about the fact of trumps presidency and Howell insane it was what a difference.
"He came to work WITH me" says it all to me. I think it will be good to have someone else in charge that may actually value the people the people around them for themselves instead of just how big their bank accounts are or how corrupt and criminal they are.
Back when we had someone that was great at making positive memories. Somebody that had a genuine and relatable sense of humor. “Here’s your tie back. You can break the glass if you want to, but I got it on camera I gave it back in style😎”.
I know there was so much laughter going on in the White House while we were conducting drone strikes on civilians in Pakistan and overseeing a genocide in Yemen.
Can ANYONE imagine Shitler saying that to one of his press secretaries? The genuine affection and respect? The thoughtfulness & gratitude? NO. This would never EVER come from Shitler. Low class POTUS, low class staff.
Imagine hanging that on your wall for your kids and grandkids to see... The PRESIDENT of these UNITED STATES wore this tie of mine you see there young chaps.
Gosh! How did we end up in this mess of 2020! I miss the Obama era, heck I take the bush era... anything but the Orange turd era.. God where is January 2021, we can’t wait until Biden is in the White House..
Wow there's a big difference between Obama's press secretaries and Trump's press secretaries leaving

Recent comments after Joe won means we really do miss such compassion and behaviour from existing leaders so we end up watching a guy who's born in Tanzania or Kenya (isn't it the same bro?)
This is how a real President sounds like. Here is a list of modern presidents that sound like one: Truman, JFK, LBJ, Nixon (yes, even him), Ford (yep, even that lovable dumb-dumb) , Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr. Trump can’t measure to any of them.
Pres. Obama made ppl feel 10 feet tall meanwhile trump makes folks feel 10 inches tall when they don’t do what he demands them to do and fires them on Twitter!
Laughter and joviality in the press room, not seen that in 4 years......
Just about to say the same 🤜🤛
A press secretary that is leaving without a Twitter notice. Such calmer and professional times.
And who was personally thanked in front of the press corps. Every member of trump's staff who left was reviled as a loser.
Isn’t it amazing that nearly 10 years later, we are still watching old Obama videos. I know I certainly did the last 4 years if only to remind myself that once, we had an eloquent, thoughtful, generous and gracious man at the helm of the country.
Yes it says a lot doesn’t it! He a great example of a GENTLEMAN!!!
Yup! I am even watching W's videos now just to remind myself that we used to have humans as our leaders.
Thankfully we’ll have a decent president next year.
the nightmare is over. I can now introduce the President of The United States Joe Biden to my 5 year old daughter
I do it every time I want eloquence, humility and sense from a President.
Obama expresses profound gratitude and appreciation for his aides unlike Trump..
They get shit-canned by tweet.
@Michael Schuchardt Gone FOREVER !!!!
Trump infects them with a deadly virus, then fires them on twitter.
I probably come back here once a month to watch this video over the past 3+ years to remind myself what decency looks like and that there are good people in this world
When your boss tells the whole world how amazing you are
Trump would have taken Gibbs’ tie then tried to bill him for the dry cleaning.
Truly one of the most underrated comments in TH-cam history...😂

There were Millions & Millions..hired & then fired...Strongly
The warmth and kindness, unlike...well, you know.

Amen.
and just general complete sentences that has sense.
Yep

Wow, you are so right and this is truly beautiful. I miss these days :(
Best respect ever to his staff
Back when Potus acted like Potus.
WOW that's beautiful and a great surprise for Robert.
such class, there seems to be an endless supply of wonderful Obama videos on the internet.
He didn't just send him off with dignity... He never tossed toilet paper, or awarded him a golf trophy😭😭
Bless this man🤧
This is refreshing, seeing someone act normally instead of just tweeting "you're fired" like Trump.
Very mindful gesture in return
Back when the President respected the Free Press and Journalists and they liked/respected him in return.
Except for FOX News, but then again, not being liked by FOX News is probably a compliment for Obama.
Obama aggressively went after whistleblowers. It was a setback for press freedom. Better than 45, but let's not cannonize 44.
@British savvy Look up the "espionage act." It was a norm that president not use this law to prosecute whistleblowers. Obama ignored that norm.

Well I can’t see any autocue, he’s talking about a friend, it’s completely natural, friendly and spontaneous, ... hence “off the cuff”.
@@sphericalempirical9359 I mean he is looking at notes/a speech on the desk in front of him.

SUCH A GREAT MAN

Classy mister the President thank you for your outstanding work for the entire world.
He didn’t surround himself with the, “Best People” rather very good people.
What an extraordinary human being Obama is. After 4 years of trump Biden too, will be a breath of fresh air.
I dont think Sean Spicer got a framed tie when he left. 🤷🏾♀️
I don't think he gave a tie to Obama! :)
@@Binara it's just so pathetic when intelligent beings deliberately decide to be dumb just so they can win an argument like you're doing right now. So sad!!

Tell me about it! I don't know what the hell happened to our country my friend
President Obama the beautiful.
It is more than 9 years ago, still it shows the true class of a leader who values his people.
Hmmmm... Good old days when mature men hold sway at the White House
Wonderful memories 😍
thank you for this video
Class act all around.
Shows the value he places on people and relationships. He could have just said goodbye, but he remembered their history and brought it up.
That is just the sweetest gift 🥺
That was a nice tribute!
I doubt very much that trump has ever choked up so much as a thank you in his miserable life.....I forgot how much more enjoyable it was to actually have a president with an actual sense of humor....
Break the glass in case of emergency
The fact you can NEVER imagine Trump doing this says a lot about why Biden won and how much has changed in the last 4 years
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yes David I was thinking the same thing the only words everybody else is going to hear from Trump is you’re fired can you imagine what people kids and adults 50 years from now say about the fact of trumps presidency and Howell insane it was what a difference.
that tie is a historic artifact now.
Time to show up to the local Antiques Roadshow.
#auction
It’s gotta worth several thousand dollars. Obama’s signature is the provenance.
How does this only have 2 comments..
not anymore .
Such sass and class...
Many moons ago when the world still made a little bit of sense...
From that to getting fired in Twitter wow! White House job getting more lucrative 🤔
President Obama I miss you sooooo much.You are FAMILY.
"He came to work WITH me" says it all to me. I think it will be good to have someone else in charge that may actually value the people the people around them for themselves instead of just how big their bank accounts are or how corrupt and criminal they are.
To lift someone up is what makes a great leader. To press others down, for their ego being lifted is a bully, by definition!
Back when we had someone that was great at making positive memories. Somebody that had a genuine and relatable sense of humor. “Here’s your tie back. You can break the glass if you want to, but I got it on camera I gave it back in style😎”.
"you owe me fifty bucks" Gibbs spoke too soon 😆
we'll see if Trump does something this cool and personable.
Imagine that No TREMENDOUS THINGS
What difference, so much laughter back then in these briefings. So glad the past for years are over. The orange man is gone.
I know there was so much laughter going on in the White House while we were conducting drone strikes on civilians in Pakistan and overseeing a genocide in Yemen.

What a beautiful gift.
Loooove the pinkish purple polkadot tie 😍
Its a great tie.
Awwww💜

WTF no gold watch?
the tie and photo and story will be worth way more than a gold watch...
The man has the tie that put POTUS on the map in 2004. I’m pretty sure it’s worth more than 10 Rolexs combine
Bc he gives THOUGHTFUL gifts, not pompous ones...
seeing this after the last administration ... yikes what a difference.
We winning the hier
...I Love America. We Sick As Hell right now tho.
When the white house was cool though not perfect
Why isn't the press questioning if it's the real tie?
Or where the tie was made??! CHYNA?
When he said Gibbs leaving isn’t the biggest one to leave today, who else was he referring to? My memory is hazy. Who else resigned at the time?
Nobody,he was being funny.I don't know whether to laugh you or cry you.I'll just accept that you're voted out.Go troll somewhere else😄😃😄😄
