I remember him running for the senate, becoming my senator, and I remember the press he got including from this show. By the way, one of the 5 previous African American senators (Carol Mosely Braun) was also from the same neighborhood in Chicago as he was, and not that long before him either. Twenty years later, he's an elder statesman and he's only 63.

      Kinda glossing over the whole continuing of the war in Afghanistan, not closing GITMO, proliferation of secret spying of every Americans digital communications.. It feels good to like Obama but when you scrutinize his entire term it's a lot more complicated for a rational thinker. He was given the Nobel peace prize and his speech at the acceptance ceremony promoted slaughtering people all over the globe in project US dominance. When he came to the town of Flint after the water crises was exploding to national attention all he did was sip a tiny amount of water from a cup and say it was safe. Why didn't Obama use federal resources to help the people of Flint? Where was the Army Corps of Engineers -- they're literally among the most qualified people to fix a city's polluted water. After that stunt the US Army was authorized to use abandoned properties in Flint to conduct military exercises using live ammunition. Instead of helping fix Flint the Commander in Chief, Barack Obama, let the US military use the city for target practice for urban warfare exercises. instead of calling in the Army Corps of Engineers to give Americans drinking water.
      It's sick.

      You surely must be 12. MLK was a great leader. He stood on the shoulders of many earlier black leaders. Colin Powell was a great leader. Andrew Young has been one, too. Shirley Chisholm, Barbara Jordan. There were Langston Hughes, James Baldwin and Ralph Ellison, black literary greats. Not side characters. The list is too long to write here.

      He was a junior senator with no experience who lost his law license and barely taught in college, to only end up a puppet for the corporate left as the MSM misinformed the public and lied to protect him. For eight years, I rarely had a solid night's sleep. Very scary guy. Very scary.

    One can watch this and many other presidential clips but somehow a combination of a certain clique of nations is obsessed with free speech and movement and conduct of individuals of other nationals within US and outside of US and that somehow takes out any sense of watching clips like this where probably you can glean a sense of if you were to be in US and on the right side of politics how you would conduct yourself or how you would speak.
