C-SPAN interview with President Obama about the Oval Office, for an update to C-SPAN's Dec. 2008 feature documentary "The White House: Inside America's Most Famous Home."
@@steviedavidson5130 Yes I do, Barack Obama had such an ego problem, but he injected himself and his accomplishments into the biographies of every American president since Calvin Coolidge with exceptions of Eisenhower and Ford. Obama was also caught spying on conservative charities because of their politics, Try to rig the election in 2016 , by spying on his preferred candidates opposition. Published private information regarding people who donated to candidates that were against him and turn the Democratic Party from the party of Kennedy Jackson and Polk into the party of if you oppose me for any reason is because you’re a racist. There is no denying Donald Trump is also a narcissist, but despite his flaws he still hasn’t come anywhere close to Obama
Because it is. It’s designed to feel like a home, but it’s well beyond that. Its incredibly untraditional for a living space, some would even say, artificial.
Yeah intelligent man who sucked his way through chicago politics with rahm emanual and a politician who didnt vote yay or nay in his entire time as a senator. He was made to be the president . He was a fake president
Dwayne Koungheul The Idiot Trump doesn't have a dog: Animals that were interviewed as the First Pet all refused to be ' kept' by him & the bogus first lady.
I think that in the future America will have a painting of Barack Obamas picture in the Oval office as the first black and second best President of the united states of America
The world will get to see what the amazing President Obama does as a second term President. Barack Obama will be a 2 term President. Barack Obama 2009 to 2017
What a nice film. The President has such a good sense of history and leadership. He is so bright and dignified. We are lucky to have a man as dedicated as he is to lead our country.
My God, that is the ugliest that the Oval Office has ever been. Who has tan/muddy brown curtains and velvet sofas? It looks like he got all of the furniture from a Chicago Goodwill store.
like the other guy said, as i president i dont like him one but but as i watch this i do wish he was a better presidnt he seems like such a friendly man. i would love to talk with him, have lunch with him ect just as a president i dont see him as one
Fun fact, the Presidential seal didn’t appear on the Oval Office rug until the Nixon administration. After Nixon resigned, the Presidential Seal on the rug didn’t appear again until the second term of Ronald Reagan. Before then, the Ford, Carter and first term of Reagan all used the same rug
lol some one have to make a funny version were they change it into a gansta place with a fridge full of 40's a striper pole a 70 in. flatscreen an xbox 360 and a disco ball
The World has missed this man , but the history will not forget you especially our generation , so we hope to see the peace around the world from Darfur to South Sudan and Ukraine,,,,, also when make someone happy child or poor the God be with you no matter who you are a president , business( women or man) Black, white Muslim Christian .
Will be glad to see his socialist ideals leave the White House. Hopefully, the stain left behind his failed presidency can be erased from the history books. He is so bad for the American way of life!
@clev9980 lol...the jimmy carter comparisons are WEAK...carter was never a good "politician"....history will judge obama in a positive light unfortuantely we are in a crisis that is the product of 20 years of mismanagement
2-There is a truth about the unclaimed & frozen assets. There are(or there were on the web)websites;which tracking down the unclaimed & frozen assets & properties, like, "unclaimed cash & prizes" or "locate money by zipcode".The local authorities are some how aware of the information in their zipcodes. If an amount of money or some type of awards or nominee,shows on some one information, must likely they will contact the person & help the person to have what shows on their information or SSN.
The couches are awful and the table is too. It looks like they dug them out of the Carter or Nixon era or from someone's grandma. The rug is fine but I like Bush's rug better.
You know damn well they each have like 2 or 3 secret service agents with them at all times and each have a personal assistant too when they leave the White House grounds.
Uhh um well it uhhhh the people um who uhh come into this uh office um the take a uhhhh a, a pause and its huh my job um to make them feal uh at, at ease. HE CANNOT TALK WITHOUT A TELEPROMPTER
It’s impossible for him to remember all the scripts for all of the conversations he has to have all day. The Onion told me so and that is Real News. Lol
Obama's life, and really, a president's life in the White House is interesting. You design it like any other house. It's different but the same. Presidents are people. Very cool.
did you not hear him say he hadn't changed much of the room because of an economic problem bush left us in and he was to busy trying to fix it. Yeah bush was great minus the destroying of are country with dick Cheney
I respectfully disagree Chris, though I understand there can never be a president that the entire nation will love while he is in office. That's the beauty of this country. I believe President Obama will go down as one of the greats 10 to 20 years from now, just like President Kennedy and President Reagan are admired today.
Whether you like it or not he's a great President. You probably wouldn't know a good President let alone a great President if he came up to you and slapped you in the face. BOZO
Charlotte Brown Not sure what your definition of "great" is. Perhaps great with putting the U.S. in a precarious position on the world stage? Perhaps great at allowing Putin to amass so much power and even invade Crimea with hardly batting an eyelash? Perhaps great at a half-ass response to ISIS which has allowed this terrorist organization to take over half of Syria and a great deal of Iraq? Perhaps great at poor diplomacy skills which has allowed for an "agreement" with Iran which is about an effective as that silly piece of paper Neville Chamberlain waved about so many years ago? Perhaps great at relaxing standards here at home so we suffered our first terrorist attack (marathon) since 9/11 and a disastrous hack from China that stole personal information of over 20 million Americans?
Next time actually properly zoom in on the objects he is pointing at.
That was probably the best interview I’ve ever seen. Straightforward questions - straightforward answers.
Wish we could have another president like this
Edit: from a republican
We have one right now. Just as bad if not worse.

Obamacare is a disaster

Contrast Mr Obama's humility and remarks to Trump's - ''This place is a dump''
There's something so calming about hearing Obama speak. I miss that in the presidency.
Yeah filters are good for the weak
I don’t. He’s a good speaker but not a great president. He also is the biggest narcissist I’ve seen in the Oval Office
@That Fan70 he’s an ass but a pretty good President. He also has a massive ego but not nearly as bad as Obama’s
@@warrenrhinerson6373 still think that now bro?

he put marthen luther king jr inside and thats his favourite :)
I like how he calls it an artificial enviroment
Because it is. It’s designed to feel like a home, but it’s well beyond that. Its incredibly untraditional for a living space, some would even say, artificial.
@@STsixx thanks a lot genius! No clue that’s what Obama was implying.
Really interesting interview. Such an intelligent man.

@@robertbogert8257 how was he fake. He beat your precious McCain and Romney. He is a true, and a very good, president.
He looked so young!
damn president said if you want friends in Washington get a dog

This is where designated surviver got ideas for the film set .
I think that in the future America will have a painting of Barack Obamas picture in the Oval office as the first black and second best President of the united states of America
He really was a great president. Represented the country well.
Crazy to think of the mess that came after him
The world will get to see what the amazing President Obama does as a second term President. Barack Obama will be a 2 term President. Barack Obama 2009 to 2017
What a nice film. The President has such a good sense of history and leadership. He is so bright and dignified. We are lucky to have a man as dedicated as he is to lead our country.
I love Barack Obamas office of course which is the Oval Office
My God, that is the ugliest that the Oval Office has ever been. Who has tan/muddy brown curtains and velvet sofas? It looks like he got all of the furniture from a Chicago Goodwill store.
Faithful Christian You're an idiot. The man clearly said that they have not redecorated yet. That's mostly Bush' stuff.
No fue más que una marioneta del sistema!!😂😂😂
like the other guy said, as i president i dont like him one but but as i watch this i do wish he was a better presidnt he seems like such a friendly man. i would love to talk with him, have lunch with him ect just as a president i dont see him as one
Take a drink every time he says “uhhh.”
Finally someone noticed ! I keep saying that he isnt that good of a speaker. Bill Clinton for instance is in a league of his own
That plant on the mantle annoys the hell out of me. Come on Pres Bush
I love how calm this guy is despite having the most difficult and more powerful job on the planet
That is his beauty!
So calming conversation of a calm man
Fun fact, the Presidential seal didn’t appear on the Oval Office rug until the Nixon administration. After Nixon resigned, the Presidential Seal on the rug didn’t appear again until the second term of Ronald Reagan. Before then, the Ford, Carter and first term of Reagan all used the same rug
Father nou one women going now idia my
BRING THE 16,000 DOCTORS , THE SONY PLAYSTATION VIDEO GAME, AND ALL THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS TO MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN
Why does he talk like John Herbert from Family Guy? :]
That's what I thought! It's the gentle whistle at the end of his words.
@@stephenryan7855 haha yea
Despite what some people may think about him, you've gotta admit that this new look is good.
Obama is a much better public figure than Bush, and arguably the best public figure.
Maxwell Depends if you have taste or not. Clearly you don't
lol some one have to make a funny version were they change it into a gansta place with a fridge full of 40's a striper pole a 70 in. flatscreen an xbox 360 and a disco ball

Looking at this beautiful home....and amazing office...makes me want to re-do my modest home office.....I think I will.:-D
How did that go?
It pains me to think that there's a chance that the world won't get to see what this incredible man will do as a second-term president.
Hello! I am writing from the year 2019 and you have nothing to fear as Obama was re-elected President in 2012. Best of wishes to you from the future!!
How do I get one of these jobs?lol like I just want to be his friend. Like call me up if he needs something.lol
COMRADE OBAMA in the oval office
he is a good president
Will be glad to see his socialist ideals leave the White House. Hopefully, the stain left behind his failed presidency can be erased from the history books. He is so bad for the American way of life!
"she can just wonder out the gate and go take a walk and nobody knows who she is"
we don't have to worry about that now!!!
What a blunder. He's clearly *in* the oval office
#OBAMAGATE
Plz help my family and every muslims in Srilankan we need help from US ARMY we bagging you
Much better during the 2nd Bush administration.

One day I will be in that office and serve the Americans just like him. Please vote for me.
The couches are awful and the table is too. It looks like they dug them out of the Carter or Nixon era or from someone's grandma. The rug is fine but I like Bush's rug better.
@SuperEnoughAlready
And lets not forget, that outhouse was full of shit when he got there... he's just cleaning up the stench from the past.
Awesome...
You know damn well they each have like 2 or 3 secret service agents with them at all times and each have a personal assistant too when they leave the White House grounds.
@TheBjmr YES!!!!!
I would try and make it look like the first occupant had it.
@odinsmagicstaff1 what are you talking about? the pool has been gone for years. Now it's the press room
I like him when there's not as much pressure, when it's chill. Same with W.
If a visitor to the White house asks to rub the top of your head do you let them?
Obama until 2016!
Yes
:D
I like Obama's better. The office looks more alive.
Man that was such a GREAT time to be Alive!
@salvadorr25 he probably does use one, just whenever cameras come in they clean the place up
I like how the oval office went from regal and classy to a 1970's porn shoot.
3.09 can someone tell me about that horse??
end the occupation
The Oval Office willl be Barack Obamas office for 2009 to 2017
A truly beautiful soul
Uhh um well it uhhhh the people um who uhh come into this uh office um the take a uhhhh a, a pause and its huh my job um to make them feal uh at, at ease.
HE CANNOT TALK WITHOUT A TELEPROMPTER
Really? You're comparing an informal chat about furniture to a speech given on a world stage? OK
Every President since the invention of teleprompters has heavily used teleprompters.
Kevin Witt
A President that actually thinks before he speaks. How awful
It’s impossible for him to remember all the scripts for all of the conversations he has to have all day. The Onion told me so and that is Real News. Lol
A feather hunted winning open trust.
Obama's life, and really, a president's life in the White House is interesting. You design it like any other house. It's different but the same. Presidents are people. Very cool.

Barry hoff im talking about the room dumb fuck and if you wanna talk about that then no obama is way worse than george bush
I prefer waxed
With GWB the room looked more friendly. Hate that dark couch now.
Put a shirt on or I'll show you a bush
Can't wait till this Obama guy moves out. We need a better president!
Demetrius Jones
???? Err...yes, I know he is black. What does that have to do with anything??? I disagree with his policies, not his skin color.

I disagree with only the "half assed response to ISIS". They were bombing the bag out of them under his admin. Look into it.
RON PAUL!!!!!!
More like Ru Paul😅🤣🤪😝
It pains me to see the spiraling down of America thanks to this incredible man second term hahah. Jk, but seriously.
I like Bush's oval office better for some reason :P Obama's isn't very pretty.
Was that the change that was bought to Washington? remodeling the oval office lol.
What is this I thought this was puppets
