    It amazes me that people don't realize what a talented and eloquent orator Obama was. I was proud to have him represent our great country to the rest of the world, he spoke with conviction and passion. I do not look forward to any presidential addresses for the next 4 years, nor reading anything from the President on... can't believe I'm saying it... Twitter.

      donald trumpet yes, presidents use teleprompters. trump does too after they found out he couldn't stay on topic for ten seconds without one. just because your followers don't care about facts and careful word choice doesn't mean Trump is even near Obama in public speaking. Obama could say a bunch of bullshit off the top of his head to pump up a crowd but then you'd just have another Trump and we don't have any interest in that.

    • @bellabana
      @bellabana 7 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      donald trumpet Oh please Obama has proven many times over & over again that he's an extremely intelligent thoughtful man as well as being a great Orator. Unlike Trump who can barely string a coherent sentence together let alone speak about complex issues with any knowledge, depth or substance. That's the difference between a Harvard Professor of Constitutional Law as opposed to a trashy TV reality star! The fact you think because Obama uses a teleprompter that somehow negates his ability is beyond simplistic & delusional!

      Yep, unfortunately it is... Obama may be a lot of things, but he's polite and can understand subtle differences. While it's enough just to observe Trump's facial expressions, in various situations and on different days. There's no subtlety there, just like in the way he talks.

      and Bernie had very little name recognition in the early primary states. You can see what was going to happen when you compare Hillary rallies to Trump rallies. The majority wanted Clinton, but it was not enough of a landslide majority, the self assuredness was there but not enough enthusiasm. They coasted in and only got a 3 million vote majority, which was not enough to get over the electoral college gerrymander.

      He affiliation with Putin for starts. Then you look at all the businesses he owns around the world and it is easy to tie him to some type of favoritism. He also lies constantly so just put him under oath and have him lie to Congress. He also made a mistake to make enemies with everyone in govt and especially the intel community that could easily set him up.

    Colbert had no idea what we were going to be dealing with at the time this was happening. He, like all of us, thought that Hillary would be our next president. Not as cool as Obama, but certainly not the nightmare we are living with now... The Obama presidency was very special for a lot of reasons that transcends politics. The entire Obama first family was a bright, shinning light of optimism, grace and unity. And I believe, for the vast majority of the country, the fact that they were the first black 'first' family quickly faded. They brought morals and ethics to the White House. They may have not done everything right - what president ever has??, but Obama and his family carried the office with dignity and made us proud to be an American. The world respected him and us for having the courage to vote him into office. We were on the path of breaking boundaries that no other country has been able to. And now, it's all come crashing down. I don't even know what's going on - struggling daily with it all. Doesn't make sense to me - to go from what we had to what we are dealing with now. The ugly underbelly of our society has reared it's disgusting head. Maybe this had to happen. Can't fight an enemy you thought didn't exist. Now we know. Guard was down - now it's up. The people of Alabama recently proved that good will always conquer evil. Now that we know how much evil still exists, we will conquer it.

      Small difference being is that 1) the Japanese have formally allowed it; and 2) there are long-term plans to relocate forces to Guam. Hardly the equivalent of taking over a sovereign country.
      From Wiki:
      In 1951 the Treaty of San Francisco was signed by the allied countries and Japan, which restored its formal sovereignty. At the same time, the U.S. and Japan signed the Japan-America Security Alliance. By this treaty, USFJ is responsible for the defense of Japan. As part of this agreement, the Japanese government requested that the U.S. military bases remain in Japan, and agreed to provide funds and various interests specified in the Status of Forces Agreement. At the expiration of the treaty, the United States and Japan signed the new Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan. The status of the United States Forces Japan was defined in the U.S.-Japan Status of Forces Agreement. This treaty is still in effect, and it forms the basis of Japan's foreign policy.

      jack williams lol... if it wasn't about his race. it wouldn't have been the first thing you mentioned or noticed..
      instead of saying; gee that guy in the background always laughing is annoying... like Paul Shaffer was for letterman... but by saying that black guy is annoying ect... or whatever your fake excuse is. just shows your true inner self and feelings... you project your own insecurities and hatreds in your own words without even realizing it...

      @Mr.C i think you are taking it too literally..i feel it necessary to inform that I am Australian and really couldn't care less about how you differentiate a black man from whatever version of this you wanted me to say that doesn't have you so triggered.
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black just a color bro.

      jack williams I think the point that he's making is if it were the old bandleader Paul Shaffer who was white (and also annoying although no one really mentioned it....) you would have not said that *white* guy is annoying just that guy or his actual name. You don't need to point out that Jon Batiste is black for us to know who he his.

      What's wrong with describing people by their color? I used to argue with black people: you guys can say the white lady over there, but it is wrong if I say the black lady over there. The response always was: it is different! ¬¬
      How is is different? We need to stop being so stupidly sensitive. Using a color as description it is not meant to be offensive, it is meant to be a way to separate from the rest. Same as apples: red, green, yellow... Jon is black, period.

      So far all other partys have said they wont work togher with him. That way he wont be prime minster. As current poles show that we are going to need atleast 5 or 6 partys to even form a majority.
