President Barack Obama Delivers Morehouse Commencement Address

- Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States. Inaugurated before an estimated crowd of 1.8 million people, Obama proposed unprecedented federal spending to revive the economy and also hoped to renew America’s stature in the world. During his first term he signed three signature bills: an omnibus bill to stimulate the economy, legislation making health care more accessible and affordable, and legislation reforming the nation’s financial institutions. Obama also pressed for a fair pay act for women, financial reform legislation, and efforts for consumer protection. In 2009, Obama became the fourth president to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
In 2012, he was reelected over former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney by 332 to 206 electoral votes. The Middle East remained a key foreign policy challenge. Obama had overseen the killing of Osama bin Laden, but a new self-proclaimed Islamic State arose during a civil war in Syria and began inciting terrorist attacks. Obama sought to manage a hostile Iran with a treaty that hindered its development of nuclear weapons. The Obama administration also adopted a climate change agreement signed by 195 nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow global warming.
It's 2022 and I really miss President Obama. It was nice having a leader who spoke with eloquence and carried himself with Presidential bearing and dignity, yet with a sense of self effacing humor and relatable humanity. My fear is that he was the last of the line and we won't have another gentleman scholar as President again.
Obama is one of the worse presidents in American history unless you're a Wall Street banker or military contractor.
I agree with you 100%. I miss him too. Look at these clowns, especially Trump.
President Barack Obama's election in 2008 inspired me to enroll in college, Berkeley College, and set a good example for my family, society, and the youth. I'm all about higher education and the exclusive knowledge and skills you gain from it because I want to reach my full potential and be much more than the usual dreams of being a basketball player or rapper. My dreams are the next the C.E.O., or maybe even President of the United States. CONGRATULATION MOREHOUSE CLASS OF 2013
This speech just changed my life in these short 30 mins. I've been making so many accomplishments in these few years I started to become relaxed not working as hard as I usually do to continue forward. This speech made me remember my drive to proceed getting back on track and becoming the man, father, and future husband I need to be, thank you Barack Obama.
Keep coming back to this speech. 16:00 hits hard. As someone who came out of poverty...he is 100% on point. Help others, not just yourself.
Obama refused to help black people in his 8 years in office. On making policies to specifically help black people, he said America doesn’t work like that. However, he had the country pay $12M to Holocaust survivors. On the question of reparations for the defendants of African slaves, he said it would be too difficult to do. Obama was 8 years of garbage. Having him speak at my school was a disgrace. Morehouse used to stand for something, but now it just falls for anything. The many changes in policies is evidence in that. The identity of the school has been stripped.
It was a honor to be apart of this performance and ceremony with Morehouse and president Obama legendary
Without question the most inspiring commencement address I've EVER heard
two time difrint my you time no

I celebrate the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama His Speech anytime,every time,Inspires.His step, Dream,His Vision,It's hard to follow but we must try in All Our best, Step by step 🙏
Thank you Father for this Address from our President, Barak Obama, my brother school.
I have never been highly educated, but this man Obama has given me something to think about and reflect on the betterment of my children once God gives me an opportunity to prove it in this life. Great leaders are yet to be born and some are there and others are here already.
The best and inspirational commencement address ever.
A very proud moment in this speech for me comes at 27:09. President Obama speaks about my father, Chester Davenport, the first African-American to attend The University of Georgia School of Law. He was tough then and is tougher now.
Am proud of your papa as well. He is an inspiration to Tanzanian scholars alike. Cheers!
Awesome, awesome, awesome! Thank you for your beautiful encouragement! You are someone to quote!!
Great Commencement Speech among many others Greatest of President Barack Obama Speech
Inspirational and motivational speech by a real man, good father, and great president!
THIS . . . I shared with my 8 year old son. Inspiring!
Give him the highest applaud of honor. President of the United States of America. He served, right.? I am not out of order.
It is always easy to find fault in others, but the real challenge is to get up and use our God given talent in service to others. Remember not everyone is a blowheart, constantly tooting his own horn and diminishing the accomplishments or value of others.
It was truly a privilege to be there, in the midst of that tempest, to hear President Obama galvanize, and inspire those young men. God bless him!
FUCK that! He was bogus in his tone aaaaaaaaaaaaaand what he was saying.
God bless you also ❤
True life is meaningful to those who are ready to endure
His speeches are always always always inspiring ! You are an inspiration to a lot of us Mr Obama.
He inspired me to enroll at Florida Memorial University at 48 in 2008.
I love you dear President😘Wonderful speaking out thanks and god bless DearPresidentObama. 👍👍👍 you’re love beautiful or you love true
He Made It,Not only making it but Nailed IT
Thank you somaj my dear friend 😘 ❤
God bless the United States of America and the great people of America
Wonderful speech. Gave not only the class of 2013 a lot to think about, but also everyone in general. We should not be bound by past excuses. We should move all and be the best we can be at any age and time. Keep striving, keep fighting, keep being.
Service to humanity is service to GOD and President Barack Obama is a classical and living Example set ❤🎉🎉
I always believe that America is a democratic and peaceful country. I also believe that America is the country for all citizens with out any discrimination of religion and races. So in America there is no impossible, there is no unbelievable, and if some one is so strong it is easy to be achievable.
A moving inspiration.
"Be a good role model." Couldn't he have let these kids shine like he did the predominantly white graduates of the school he delivered a commencement speech to just the week prior? Damn.
I agree. It was more of him talking down to those boys more so than anything. I promise he would never deliver a speech of this magnitude at PW.
Tha president wasn't talking down on us sir. He was challenging us to dare to reach our highest GOD given potential
@@AAJ23801The president wasn't talking down on us. He was challenging us to work hard, and do whatever it takes to reach our highest GOD given potential.
Thank you Father
One of my favorite speeches
See I loved stuff like that. Great. And greatly to be praised.
A lesson to endure beyond limits to absolute max.
Well done 👍.
Congratulations to President Barack Hussein Obama for honorary Doctorate in laws of Morehouse college🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Greatness right there!
True Black man here. God bless
He did nothing to help the black people. Obama is for rich white people like Warren Buffet.

Good speech
Quality and affordable education
He sounds like a baptist preacher when he speaks lol, I love it.
What black baptists churches did his grandparents take him to in Hawaii? He is doing an affectation to manipulate you.
@@MsFlamingFlamerI disagree with your assertion, and you are wrong.
@@clarkjames6349 it’s not wrong. I don’t understand why it’s so hard for people to be honest about Obama’s upbringing. Hawaii is great but it’s the furthest from mainstream North American culture. He was raised by whites and Asians and wasn’t exposed to African American culture on a significant basis until adulthood.
@@clarkjames6349 I just checked Hawaii’s census from 2020. 37.2% Asian; 25.3% Multiracial; 22.9% White; 10.8% Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders; 9.5% Hispanic and Latinos of any race; 1.6% Black or African American; 1.8% from some other race; and 0.3% Native American and Alaskan Native. What black churches would he have been going to as a kid?
@@clarkjames6349 Barack’s Indonesian is more authentic than any African American affectations he might do. He actually spent 4 years of his childhood in Indonesia and is fluent with the language. He didn’t get to Chicago until he was done with college. He now lives in one of the whitest and wealthiest areas of the US (Martha’s Vineyard). Yet so many African Americans want to pretend he’s just like us just because of how he looks.
Chaw sir Obama president American 🌹🙏 Dinesh Kumar
Thank you somaj my president Barack Obama and oll my baratha and my sister

We love you Obama
Greart man Obama
Daniel PI haha we got another anti obama troll lol. Too bad the people voted for him 2 times in a row huh? is the caveman angry? its okay. no one cares :)
Look at Reverend Obama look like he about to preach a sermon with that robe on.
Interesting that you should pick those two segment, because there are perfect BLINDERS for what is said in between them.
The segment in between highlights the history of disproportionate pain Blacks have suffered, and the acknowledgment of the Pres that his actual policy is not to take disproportionate action to CORRECT the wrongs to make it right
You think a Jewish President would/could take their people for granted like this?
Yet, he can easily point out what he's done for gays though
Thank you somaj forgiven me my God forgive you 🙏 thank you my president Barack Obama
Amazing speach
"It was here that professors encouraged him to look past the world as it was and fight for the world as it should be"
Omar Abdulkader What about the world as it is currently?

Please give greater detail of what you saw, because I saw things that I really didn't want to see, I think I would have been inspired by this type of speech 5 years ago, but not now, not after NOT seeing positive change occur for our community having that President.
I saw the ever-present condescending chastisement that seems to be in "great" speech.
Please tell me what inspired you, was it just a feeling, or is it rooted in substance that we can build on?
Armis Game yes it's a substances we can started it any time & possible to achieve.
stay inspired.
am too late to wach this.
The president gave a great speech because he challenged us to work hard to reach our highest GOD given potential.
