Jimmy is so tickled and excited he can’t stop himself from rambling 😂 I love how casual and comfortable Obama is in this interview.
Well Obama led America for 8 years and Jimmy must respect him for everything Obama has done for America
Goh how

oh yes
I think it's more like he's getting messages from producers in headphones saying: speed it up, we're going into ad break in 2 mins.
@@Erasureeraser What? He was an evil war criminal who bombed 7 fucking countries, you vile warmonger.
It's adorable
They way Obama describes music and how American culture feels like a little piece of every part of the world was really cool. Absolutely true!
Indeed - was thinking same thing at the time this aired ... a truly splendid and spot-on and beauti-ful statement.....
My Playlist has pretty much every genre. Metallica, Korn, Slipknot, Slayer, Sinatra, Cab Callaway, Doors, Zeppelin, Beatles, Eagles, Beastie Boys, Biggie, Jay-Z, Snoop, Dre, Sugar Hill Gang, DMC, Charlie Daniels, Lynard Skynard, Jerry Reed, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, BB King, Muddy Waters, Oasis, etc, etc. You never know what might play next😉👍
People I work with think I know every word to every song ever written lol
Goh how
th-cam.com/video/zFJ2AN_CZH8/w-d-xo.html
oh yes
That part really caught my attention as well...listened to it multiple times. Lot to think about and all positive. Damn I miss Obama!
@@ImTheJoker4u when he talked about how different his daughter’s playlist was and how it was interesting to him, it was so weird because me and my parents have had that exact same conversation! My Spotify recap is wild lol.
I’ll happily spend a year listening to his audio book ..... he has the best voice ever! When he ends a pause it is ALWAYS worth the wait!
#44th voice warms my heart 💕
During his eight years I didn't watch the inaugurations or State of the Union addresses because I couldn't stand his voice.
@@karenalsum2836 aww...but here you are posting comments under a video that has Obama written all over.. secret crush maybe..its ok..you can admit it.. we won't judge you 😊
It might take a year to undo all the garbage we’ve been listening to the last four years.
Oh God- how we miss him the world over 😢 intelligent, articulate, a true gentleman who loves people and they love him. Including his family.
The world DOES NOT miss war criminals.
@@artvandelayRFC Bruv please don’t try to start comment wars.
@@akalijhomentethi7983 Sorry, I'll just ignore all the people he killed with drones and bombs, you dumb sheep.
@Rick B He bombed 7 countries, including an illegal regime change war in Libya. You know both your parties are evil, surely?
Obama is the worst president ever .
I don’t believe I have seen Jimmy blush so many times!
I am getting President Obama’s audio book just so I can listen to his voice-the sound of peace, hope, sanity, thoughtfulness, and my happy place!
Obama will be remembered as the President who lost South China Sea. BLM was formed during his time but he did nothing for BLM. A smooth talking failure.
The audio book is great. Lovely listening to an educated, eloquent person.
Goh how
th-cam.com/video/zFJ2AN_CZH8/w-d-xo.html
oh yes
Good idea!
Love this comment and that's exactly how I feel. The voice of HOPE.
Obama’s take on music and culture is another level. Perfect description.
Two classy guys chatting. Great interview
I love how he can laugh at himself. "Talk really slowly"
The taste of music Obama has is probably the reason why he’s such an awesome person. The fact he even mentioned Rachmaninov makes him my favorite president.
Thé epitome grace and intellect I miss you Mr. President
Yes
Music makes me lose control😂😂... Best President ever! Love u Jimmy😘
The coolest President ever
Barack Obama is such a compassionate, well-spoken, kind, empathetic, calm and such a caring man!!
sick
“I knew how to handle my business !” 😂😂🤣😂 classic!!! By far the funniest PRESIDENT EVER!!
@ajd ajd obviously you’re not !!!
I understood what he meant when he spoke about music. Music has been the most consistent thing in my life. Music is just a BLESSING that has kept me SANE.
Yes queen
Finally, a guest that is actually amazing
Hearing a thoughtful, kind, intelligent man speak reminds me that we were so lucky to call him Mr. President
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" was also one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I knew there was a reason I liked him...LOL
Cool.
I feel like I was so incredibly young to appreciate Obama. I remember him announcing his run for president when I was back in 4th grade. Kinda wish I was an adult during his whole 8 years.
Even as a legal to drink 23 year old by time time he got into office, I was still too young and ignorant about politics to understand how much impact he would have. Even as a black guy. If I knew what I know now back then that presidency would be twice as good for me
Hoh how
th-cam.com/video/zFJ2AN_CZH8/w-d-xo.html
oh yes
I was 18 when he got elected first, great age for it. I was so passionate about voting for him. Only time I ever passionately voted was for Obama both times.
@@neville2308 Hopefully you also passionately voted for “Dump Trump”!
I love how it's titled "President Obama" and not "Ex-President Obama"... And I'm not even American lol
Once a president, always a president. It's the proper title.
Yep, every President is called President, get a life log pension too
@@travelingnome87 I thought it is "Former President?"
@@artistaloca4 nah. It's common in the US to refer to a person with their highest title. So the highest title of Obama is President. Calling someone a former is just a descriptor.
@@travelingnome87 Yes, ok- thanks 😁 I guess I need to re-educate my friends to call me something better 😆
Are you still traveling?
"Dont think you elected a fool" 😂😂😂😂😂 i was rolling! Only a president with class can pull this of..... the other type will look goofy
We *all* miss you.
@David Orozco and I’m very sure that the families of over 300,000 dead family members will NOT miss tDump....but actually want his azz in prison for neglect!
Funny how that works!
I don't at all. Breath of fresh air to have him gone. Wish he'd stay away.
@Harold Moore Obama was the most murderous presidents we've ever had. Look it up. He dropped more bombs on innocent children and families that he ran out of bombs. Under him we had the worst economy of my lifetime. But he can talk with a cool smile right...
@@karenalsum2836 agreed
@Harold Moore your mom was Republican
I just really love this man i saw people say he didn’t did nothing but he’s really good comparing to nowadays.💜
People expect perfection in other people and in my opinion Obama is the closest you can get to a perfect president.
Moscow Mitch made sure he couldn't.
Affordable care act? DACA?
Yes he is the chips and the dip the bomb we still miss him and his wife
Simply the best we ever had
Barack Obama has the most AMAZING smile!
Yup . His smile absolutely lights up the room .
Of all the interviews on his book tour so far this is by far my favourite. It was nice to listen to a casual conversation instead of a recap of what he wrote. (Jimmy probably didn't do his homework but it worked out for the better imo) Also, the moment he gets hot under the collar remembering Michelle in that white dress is relationship goals gold.
I've lost count how many times I watched slow jam the news with these two. Hilarious!
Miss you Prez Obama! Don't forget about Native Americans music AND lives!
You have a better president than him in D Trump. Trump is the best of all 45
@@fredylucas2484 explain this alternative fact to us, poor unintelligent who didn't saw the light of Trump the Messiah .
oh how
th-cam.com/video/zFJ2AN_CZH8/w-d-xo.html
oh yes
@@felixndayisdebologne9725 he fulfilled everything he promised in the campaign. Like the wall in the Mexican border fully paid by Mexico..etc etc etc. Only ant Trump don't see the accomplishment of the Messiah. Do not forget even Jesus was not accepted in his hometown. He managed to convince North Korea Leader to stop his nuclear programme.
@@fredylucas2484 paid by Mexico ? Are you a comedy writer trying new material ?
It's shocking how completely superior he is to Trump in every way and manner of existing
F**k off!!!!!
SOO much better, in every way.
Totally agree striker.
But Is it even fair to compare a wonderful human being to an orange animal? :). 💙💙💙
@@dennisthemenace5466 troll
@@jackeroo08 I think he's confused
Was just thinking that Irish trad music also had a great influence on American music and boom,President Obama mentioned it 👍🏼🇮🇪💚
it's so great to hear Obama. After 4 years of Trump and throwing dirt to everyone i'm glad that we going back to that with Biden.
Obama is such an inspiration. Will be an icon for decades to come.
Jimmy nailed the Barak interview! I could listen to this for days!
Jimmy is blushing all the way...so am I, so am I! 🥰
All of president Obama’s interviewers dress in their best suits and grin from ear to ear🤩. #respectingourtrueleader
I miss him too. I remember when he became president, that is when i really believed in equality and I realized we could be whatever we really wanted to be. He is definitely one of my role models. 🤩🤩🤩
Find another audience
Did you enjoy jobs going to China and higher taxes? I sure fucking didn't.
"Don't think you elected a fool...." Nope, they did that right afterwards.
Was going to comment this but decided to skim the comments and see if someone else did.
@ajd ajd And the Tan SUIT!!!! OMG!!!!
"That is a jam and I know that jam well " he's such a class act. I love him
That's my man!! Yay for Obama, his influence still running in the Whitehouse for at least 4 years!! 😏
Woot woot!!!

Good taste. I love Earth, Wind and Fire.

1.25x here 🙋🏼♂️

well english not being my native, it's fine with me listening at normal speed !
Well, let me just start by saying that......uhhhhh......we,.....as a nation.......are......deeply inspired....and.......uhhh.....m
I can't believe he said "reggaeton". He is the least tone deaf president ever lol. That was great.
th-cam.com/video/Xl4VJkXKGPk/w-d-xo.html
America needs Obama again
Minute??
This is what I call, "Playfully Presidential" and Human. A conversation of fresh air...Ahhhh. Perfection was not his Purpose...It was Progress through Hope in "Yes We Can!"
The man just gets it. He was blessed with a keen mind but he has made use of it in a self-giving, compassionate way. What a contribution he has made to us, to this country and world.
Remember Logic & Reason? The WORLD misses you President Obama!
He was good on the surface. Killed thousands of innocent people with drone strikes, got us in more armed conflicts, and deported more people than trump
He was a joke a failure and did zero
I memba 🫐
@@oscarinacan that happened in America? Trump killed 280k Americans so far. They're saying up to 5-750k now before vaccine takes hold. Due to Thanksgiving and Christmas surges.
Why are you talking for “the world.” Use “I” statements... not everyone misses the guy who took a small sip of Flint’s poisoned water, said, “it’s ok” and left.
The first album I ever bought with my own money was 'Dare to be Stupid' by Weird Al.
I was never Presidential material.
At least you admit it and realize it. Not like some people...
A president that sounds like a human. How refreshing
I would vote another term to have him back as my president 💯❤️🕊️ we all miss you
I wouldn't.. we do not deserve him... he earned his vacation and an ungrateful nation decided to elect a moron right after him.
@@kingindy good point! 👍
Adore you both 😍
I am definitely not a kid. Stevie Wonder, talking Book. Elton John' s goodbye yellow brick road Were very relatable to my real life. growing up as #7 out of 9 kids to a SINGLE mother that taught us hard work morals respect to anyone and everyone no matter what they looked like or where they came from. We all put our pants on 1 leg at a time. Nobody was better than us even though we were poor, But we were not beneath them because they were rich. Show love and kindness to everyone.
I loved when Obama slow-jammed the news with Jimmy ..It was such fun !
Love Mr. Obama... the brother, uncle, college professor, and next-door neighbor that everyone would like to have.
Thanks for this one Jimmy!
“because that is a ~jam~ and i know that jam well” 🤣🤣 this is amazing
Good morning from the Netherlands, man President Obama please come back for another 4 years
US presidents may only serve 2 terms/8 years in office, the ammendment that established this was added after Franklin Delano Roosevelt was relected and died during his 4th term. Not sure the exact year but it happened after he died in 1945.
Blessings to you both from LA! Love this show!
Goes to show how intelligence can unite a country! Hope this President Biden can better than the last one!
You have to be joking ? The USA is doomed with Biden running things...prepare to loose your freedoms and your money
@@theothersideisjustashard3237 how stupid are you? What freedom will you lose you stupid little brainwashed cult member?
You think calling people with a different political view racist deplorable nazis backwood Hill Billy's, is away to unite people? Lol
@@theothersideisjustashard3237 How about some consideration of your fellow Americans rather than just yourself. Oops, I just described trump!
@@theothersideisjustashard3237 the USA may be doomed either way, as far as I see it
Slow jamming the news = still to this day one of my favorite bits!
8:00 Music doesnt have boundaries, that what makes it unique
I could listen to PRESIDENT Obama all day. So good !
🎶I'm...im so in love with you🎶
Too bad they don't make leaders like him anymore. Obama is a friend to all the hard working people of this country.
What?????
ANYMORE
Haha you're a daft drug addict
Some people prefer drinking disinfectant straight up and some with ice. An acquired taste.
Why isn't anyone losing their minds over the fact that Obama did an Obama impression? That was funny
Please make this film happen! I would love if they'd make this a Netflix or HBO mini-series.
Time hasn't changed .it's been erased now
We're all from the man above. God to me brings us all together worldwide

I missed too Jimmy! Great interview 😍
Jimmy you're not the only one who missed him most of us missed him 🥰💖
Obama will always be the President to me.
Agreed
I wish. Isn't it time to revise the outdated Constitution? We'd prosper with Men like Obama in office for much longer than 4 years. Who came up with that term length? Probably dead now?
@@artistaloca4 He was there for eight years. Were you asleep half the time ?
@@artistaloca4 Yeah, but then we'd have to many people arguing over who is actually a good president who deserves to be there. Despit everthing the Trumpets still think Trumps a good president.
I loved that last concert. Great interview! I always feel happy and good in the virtual presence of President Obama and Michelle. Always. They are magnificent.
As soon as he said "Stevie Wonder's Talking Book", I'm back over there for the 100th time in my life.
What a great conversation!!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
What an articulate gentleman
This is amazing. I was literally crying while watching this.
I’m proud to be part of the young generation, I have some hope.
We love him so much, I live in Canada! He’s wonderful!
What a beautiful analogy for this devicsive country: possible to come back together thru music? Good place to start? 🎶♥️
Obama's joke about speaking slowly and with lots of pauses is even funnier if you saw Michelle Obama's impression of him on Colbert's show.😃😂
Old white guy here, teared up thinking of" at last* moment at ball.
I salute you sir
❤❤❤
Miss his grace and class💙
i miss this man! honest, kind and thoughtful!
can you image what music Trump listens too, if any?
Hands down one of my favorite interviews! 🥺😍
President Barack Obama displays intellect...
a far cry from President #45. 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Never knew about this interview. I’m going to save this one.
Thank You President Obama for honoring and culminating the high office of Presidency 🇱🇷🙏🏽💕🌟
Can't wait to get the audio version!
Obama is so cool and cute.🥰
So are you ;)
Obama really nailed down how the magic of music unites people of all walks of life, past present and future. I got a wonderful personal flashback when when he talks about the first albums that he purchased with his own money. I loved how he states that music carries traditional, cultural and folk elements. I personally enjoy the Metal music genre which in my oppinion can become insanely powerful and "uniting" when blended with folk and traditional elements and instruments (opera vocals, Irish folk songs, hand-to-hand war battle stories, female+male duets, Peruvian Wooden Quena Flute, bagpipe, organ, piano, saxophone, flute, chello, conga drum, violin...etc.). This man might not be the funniest or most hip, but he talks from his heart, his struggles and his hopes.
To play Obama the person must have or develop a deep thinking process because that's exactly what he does when answering questions. He doesn't just answer a question off the top of his head.
The way obama talks about his children and others in their age group is so endearing. Gives me hope for this country.
I agree! I love that he's always so hopeful and passionate about future generations making positive change.
Make this film happen I’d love to see it
Help to make it happen
So much love from Romania for this man ! ❤️ He was the best thing US will ever get in many years to come . God bless him and all your country . Amin !
I love him , and yes, I missed him also
I will forever be fascinated by this very normal guy who happens to be one of the greatest presidents in our history.
Nothing but love an admiration for this man and his entire family.
Obama doing an impression of someone doing an impression of Obama.
I might have to get his audio book just to relax and feel calm before bedtime.
THANK YOU SIR🎓 ........🎁👔👞👞🎁 👌🏽👨🏽💼👌🏽
That was Excellent!
The way Obama can talk about music and musician is absolutely heartening. How deeply he appreciates music, what admiration he has for artists. We have seen it all during his presidency. The Kennedy Center honors has had stalwarts like Zeppelin, Aretha Franklin, Heart, countless others. The performances are for eternity.
If you search on youtube for "Trump Kennedy Center Honors", the only videos you come up with are, "Trump cancels Kennedy Centers Honors Reception..."! I doubt even if he listens to music. I doubt if he can tell 10 of his fav artists or songs. That says it all.
Sad excuse of the human being!
"That is a jam. And I know that jam well."
I am a simple guy.. I see Obama,I click on the video...
What a gem interview!
