He and the others did what is expected. Will always remember, taking a break from work. Several of us, went upstairs, to the only TV in the office. Sat there mesmerized. Chasing the tears away. Sure could use him now days. He was a man with a vision and really did help out. Am so glad that I finally found this.
I agree with you. I come from the middle east, and when I see Obama's leadership, I put his mistakes and pitfalls aside. As a human being and an individual, he is genuine, clean and comes right from the roots of the society. His leadership is among the finest and you are lucky to have him for another 4 years
This is so inspiring because he's our modern day version of MLK, and people in the crowd are looking at him in that kind of way. This is history guys, 100 years from now people will be studying him and this era of politics, lets all appreciate this at least.
Never seen a president in my almost 30 years of life. Just war criminals with different personalities profiteering off of the same wars and abetting the same genocides while the people they're elected to serve continue to struggle affording to live.
This is me as a Nigerian watching this in 2023 and I feel more alive to behold the finest President to ever walk the surface of the earth. He's postured with leadership qualities, humility, and human decency. God bless America.
Trump could never stand in his shoes!!! NEVER! It’s a shame that trumpy came after this great, gentle, intelligent, compassionate soul! God bless the Obama’s and the Biden’s! They tried and made our nation respected by the world!
What a president! What a speech! Man… I sure do miss president Obama. I was too young to vote for him when he ran for president, but I would’ve voted for him in a heartbeat.
Even if we didn't vote for Obama, we must continually lift him up in prayer that our nation can again define values by true integrity instead of media - if we intend on pleasing everyone we will please no one.
I don't think that is the best reason to vote for a President. I support my rights too, but of all the things that matter, this issue is not the most important. It will be nice to have rights in a country that doesn't exist if it keeps falling apart like it is now.
Love Obama lots and in 2 weeks his VP Biden will deliver the inaugural address as President. Miss you Obama always and you are a golden gem and golden being.
This video makes me more than a little proud- a very meaningful speech. Without fail I watch political videos online and have to read the meaningless assertions/accusations that people who have never seen one another launch at one another in the video comment section. Even small actions such as these do us no favors as a functioning, unified people, and I hope that we can at least try to get past our own differences so that we don't impede the rights of others of equal value. I'm hopeful.
Love all the haters here....sad to see but then again America is a free country and that's what makes this country a free one. And with that knowledge I congratulate our President.
Bravo! "We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths - that all of us are created equal - is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth."
I do not like to be labeled. Too restrictive. While there is some truth to it, I refuse to call myself a gamer, a nerd, a Trekkie, a homosexual, or refer to myself as white, atheist or well-off. However, there is something about this man that inspires me like no other to say with the greatest pride... ...I am an American.
His speech to me demonstrates the wide divide between most Americans regarding the purpose of government. While he denies it, the President sees government as being all things for all people. He talked about subjects which have no dispute-eliminate poverty, retain Medicare and Social Security, equal rights. To this extent his speech was rhetoric. In my mind this President needs to get his hands dirty and fight for what is right and needed. Citizens can only do so much. Stop the speeches!
14:48 my favorite part of the whole speech. Whether you like Obama or not, this is the first time a US President has mentioned support for gay rights during an inaugural speech. Good news is that same-sex marriage will soon be legal throughout the whole US!
I realize that President Obama has many critics. I’m sure they have their good points-of-view. But to me, the President is one of the best presidents the USA has ever had. He took over when the nation was in its worst condition. And I do believe our nation is getting better through his leadership. I’m glad he made a second term.
Words ==a speech sound or series of speech sounds that symbolizes and communicates a meaning usually without being divisible into smaller units capable of independent use
Don't you have anything better to do than to negatively criticize our president? What have you done for our country? Go read a book, go reach out to those who need help, and stop being that ignorant person who only sees the negative and not the positive.
I like what President Obama said about renewable energy and how America needs to be at the forefront of it. I completely agree. Renewable is the future and there's no use in fighting it. If our nation can lead the world into this new age, it will mean continued prosperity for generations of Americans to come.
best american president ever and greatest world leader of the current era!! congratulations america!!!!! we need him in australia and new zealand!!!! xxxx
I hate to say it, but you couldn't be more wrong. If the things you mentioned in your post really matter to you, take the time to do a little research - it doesn't take long to simply scan articles and/or policies, but be open to all perspectives - there is a lot of bias out there, but you'll find the truth if you look.
This is the 23rd of 100 famous speeches that I'm watching to make research on public speaking. I'm tired of watching the US presidents. All of them are equal in their capacity to manipulate the crowd by playing on people's emotions, dreams, hopes, and unconscious instincts. I've never taken politics seriously. I figured out at a very young age that the government is just another form of theatre. The actors are new; the play is always the same. I enjoy seeing every new president outwitting all the others. Obama, without a doubt, is the best speaker among the US presidents I watched before. However, his social role puts so many limits on his talent that I can't resist feeling pity for him.
when exactly does he say anything evil? the part with freedom for all? the part when he says that slavery was a bad idea? The part when he says that you guys have to stand as one nation, not divided by the greed of a few. You should be glad to have a president like that, `murican!
No matter how much we try to move forward as a more civilized there is always that one group of ignorant and uneducated citizens who try to delay our country from the improvement that is needed. We may be of different races and religion but there is av reason why we are called the United States. We as a country are certainly not living up to our title. I am thankful to having a president whom is willing to embrace the past and work on the future
-voted for it (some thought that title 2 and 7 of that bill were unconstituional). 2. It doesn't take away from the fact that they voted for abolition, anti-lynching laws, the 14th, and 15th Amendments, the Civil Rights Acts of 1875, 1957, 1960, and 1964, and let's not forget about women's right to vote! Dems, largely, fought against passage of EACH! Today's Repub still favors those rights regardless of leftist dogma which claims otherwise.
There will always be some who refuse to see, but many of us already do, and our numbers can grow if we educate people on what leftism really is. They're own life experience under Obama may help as well. Only time will tell.
Why can't people debate issues instead of attending character assassination. Personally, I believe Reagan and Bush are just as patriotic and love America just as much as Clinton and Obama. I think Bush Sr. might be the most ethical and admirable president in my 47 years. I still strongly prefer the policies of Clinton and Obama but can acknowledge that in hindsight many Bush and Reagan policies turned out much better than I expected at the time. Hate fueled extremism on either side is bad.
He and the others did what is expected. Will always remember, taking a break from work. Several of us, went upstairs, to the only TV in the office. Sat there mesmerized. Chasing the tears away. Sure could use him now days. He was a man with a vision and really did help out. Am so glad that I finally found this.

Remember when we had an actual president? Good times.
@Trey Atkins ignorant comment moment
@Trey Atkins this didn’t age well
my hart no good
Never seen a president in my almost 30 years of life. Just war criminals with different personalities profiteering off of the same wars and abetting the same genocides while the people they're elected to serve continue to struggle affording to live.

Obama is an institution of democracy and good governance
I miss him every single day.
I love and respect our President and his amazing first family.
Trump could never stand in his shoes!!! NEVER! It’s a shame that trumpy came after this great, gentle, intelligent, compassionate soul! God bless the Obama’s and the Biden’s! They tried and made our nation respected by the world!
What an eloquent president. It is hard to believe the monstrosity that followed him.
What a president! What a speech! Man… I sure do miss president Obama. I was too young to vote for him when he ran for president, but I would’ve voted for him in a heartbeat.
Have a great breaskfast and look forward to the opportunity seeing you soon.God Bless America !
This man knows the real meaning of what being American is. History will judge this man as the greatest man of this century....
As Americans we should be saying thank you you to this man and his family for wanting to continue to try and fix the mess he was handed 4 years ago.
The economic crisis of 2008 was partially caused by Clinton when he repealed the glass stegall act in his second term
I was there! Hard to believe it’s been 10 years
14:50 was my favorite part of the speech.
That is the greatest man alive!
Even if we didn't vote for Obama, we must continually lift him up in prayer that our nation can again define values by true integrity instead of media - if we intend on pleasing everyone we will please no one.
true. more countries than just aust and nz need a leader with integrity like barack. good point!
🇺🇸 B A R A C K O B A M A 💜
i love the fact that his daughter was caught yawning during his speech. awesome
we love you!
I just love it. Live is wonderful.
President Obama's speech was uplifting and inspiring.
Wow. Enough said. Let's get to work and continue progress as Americans!
Thanks for proving my point. I appreciate all the help I can get.
1:59 "We Hold These Truths To Be Self Evident. That All Men Are Created Equal"
I missed those times. The best Resident of my lifetime.
I don't think that is the best reason to vote for a President. I support my rights too, but of all the things that matter, this issue is not the most important. It will be nice to have rights in a country that doesn't exist if it keeps falling apart like it is now.
When we think of the American Dreams we think of President Obama
Love Obama lots and in 2 weeks his VP Biden will deliver the inaugural address as President. Miss you Obama always and you are a golden gem and golden being.
The head of a divided nation...and most powerful.
There is no worse job.
Thank god for the simple life.
he will make this country great!!!! trust him in the next 4 years america will be right

He's a great motivational speaker. So glad Romney wasn't elected.
My favorite president love this man a real president a real commander in chief
BEST PRESIDENT EVERRRRRRR....
Love all the haters here....sad to see but then again America is a free country and that's what makes this country a free one. And with that knowledge I congratulate our President.
Watching in 2022 ❤️

His smartness and intelligence and charisma came from the colored side of the family. : )
guys can we all just agree that obama is the cutest thing ever just look at that grin when he's getting introducted
Fucking song
🎉🎉🎉 Thank you Mr President Obama ❤

Best US president we ever had
Better than Lincoln?
I’m a conservative but Obama at least did what he thought was right
this is a good way to show the Inauguration
His speech to me demonstrates the wide divide between most Americans regarding the purpose of government. While he denies it, the President sees government as being all things for all people.

Omg this is so old but amazing video of the first time in America that we have seen the first one in
14:35 "our journey is not complete..."
Thank you my president.
GOd bless America
Words ==a speech sound or series of speech sounds that symbolizes and communicates a meaning usually without being divisible into smaller units capable of independent use
great speech
Asante
What a day.
Love obama u the bossssss of this world
Don't you have anything better to do than to negatively criticize our president? What have you done for our country? Go read a book, go reach out to those who need help, and stop being that ignorant person who only sees the negative and not the positive.
Best most caring most intelligent smartest connected contemporary world leader of his time and best president for decades.
great speech!
President Barack Obama set such a high bar that's a bit difficult to reach. That's why #45 could only flail about with so much jealousy.
Amen
A star is born new light
I had a dream we had another president assissinated, its been 50 years since we last had one.
God bless America and President Obama!
Good speach from the new-era's man, sadly this era can't beeing come
I feel this way because I'm ignorant. I disagree on nothing. I think he should make America good.
BARACK praise the Lord 🌊
Great comment.

If our nation can lead the world into this new age, it will mean continued prosperity for generations of Americans to come.
some people are so ignorant at least america is still a free country
WE THE PEOPLE! I love this President. I really do. :)

This is genius. He's reclaiming the definition of liberty from the growing libertarian base.
I don't know why Americans are fixated with the name Hussein. It means 'good', 'handsome' or 'beautiful'.
Please. I'm not gonna read that but thank you for your input.
This is the 23rd of 100 famous speeches that I'm watching to make research on public speaking. I'm tired of watching the US presidents.

I wish I could have been their. I love you Obama!

A Proud Black Man who does not vote for someone because of the color of their skin~
nap, u put source on youtube like this was a term paper. We believe you.
when exactly does he say anything evil? the part with freedom for all? the part when he says that slavery was a bad idea? The part when he says that you guys have to stand as one nation, not divided by the greed of a few. You should be glad to have a president like that, `murican!
❤❤❤❤💪
Whoa, that's a pretty loaded statement there, sir.
Oh my goodness gracious, where are your manners?
i miss u man
No matter how much we try to move forward as a more civilized there is always that one group of ignorant and uneducated citizens who try to delay our country from the improvement that is needed. We may be of different races and religion but there is av reason why we are called the United States. We as a country are certainly not living up to our title. I am thankful to having a president whom is willing to embrace the past and work on the future
Thanks for trolling! Have a good weekend.
-voted for it (some thought that title 2 and 7 of that bill were unconstituional). 2. It doesn't take away from the fact that they voted for abolition, anti-lynching laws, the 14th, and 15th Amendments, the Civil Rights Acts of 1875, 1957, 1960, and 1964, and let's not forget about women's right to vote!

They don't say that for any of the others...Do they?
There will always be some who refuse to see, but many of us already do, and our numbers can grow if we educate people on what leftism really is. They're own life experience under Obama may help as well. Only time will tell.
No matter what you think he is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, and a PROUD AMERICAN.
Why can't people debate issues instead of attending character assassination. Personally, I believe Reagan and Bush are just as patriotic and love America just as much as Clinton and Obama.

Romania loves Obama. In God we trust.Cheers!
