Thank you president Obama! You will be missed after you leave office...
AGREED.
My Earth ain't that the sad truth
Until his trial for treason, selling national secrets, colluding with radical islamic nations, standing down during Benghazi, and turning a blind eye to HRC corruption. Real great guy, what principles he's standing for -- I totally see why you love him.
rodr wtf... dude put your tinfiok hat back on
NDFOOTBALL, Look at how many "likes" My Earth's comment got. Now look at how stupid your comment is. Obama will be missed. Now shut the fuck up, junior, and let the grown folk talk!
Fuck yeah finally we got him on real time
yeah! Did you sign the petition? :-)
EmmaLlanos Yep
This isn't what I wanted...... I wanted the Bad-ass Bill Maher to interview him, not the fake Hillary sympathizer the he has deluded himself into.
That makes him smart.
Alexander Fleming Once the elections over, he'll return to normal.
Like him or hate him, this is what a leader sounds like... Careful, deliberate speech.
I think some people mistook his slow, exacting style as being dull or boring, when the reality was he just wanted to be precise and thoughtful.
@@ctdieselnut That's how leaders are supposed to talk, so the people can hear and understand what their are saying
Unbelievable the cheerful reviews of this interview after all the terrible things Obama did and explains the reason we have the government we do by all those that swallowed the propaganda hook line and sinker even after the Princeton Study proved we have lived in an oligarchy for decades: Obama promised when running the first thing he would do is codifying Roe versus Wade and never did so Democrats could continue to run on it after 50 years of doing so. Obama’s cabinet was selected in an email from Citigroup a month BEFORE the 2008 general election at a time when Wall St. crashed the world economy. Combine that with Citigroup took more TARP money than anyone else. Obama kicked 5.1 million families out of their homes and got Wall St. to keep their bonuses. Obama got AIG the insurance money so Wall St. didn’t suffer losses for their crazy derivative bets without even a haircut that was expected. Obama took us from 2 wars to 7. Obama adopted a right wing heath care program from the Heritage foundation that increased insurance company profits and bankrupted families. Obama dropped more bombs than Bush. Obama deported more Latinos and Bush. Obama’s drone program killed innocent people 90% of the time. Obama continued the Bush tax cuts. After 8 years of Obama and abuse from the Democratic Party, Trump was elected after making the same promises as Obama’s hope and change calling it clean the swamp.

Waffle in other words.
As a Republican, listening to Obama is so refreshing. Even when we don't agree, I can at least understand his position clearly and directly. Definitely comes across as someone you could have a respectful, rational discussion, even when you are on opposite sides of policy. Unfortunately, I don't see anyone like him in temperament in either party with any real chance making through the primaries.

I was really sad when he left the White House-but now as he’s MIA and our country is circling the drain after he started a resentment that at the White House press corps dinner humiliating Trump that our entire nation has been paying for ever since, his ego has caused us to lose our democracy and he is the one to blame for everything that’s come to pass. Trump would have never run for office had Obama not humiliated him so publicly. So fuck Obama.
This man is possibly the smartest President we ever had. And they opposed him at every turn. Because he was "different". Sigh...
Ramon Vasquez Jr. He didn't fix the country or change it like he said
JJBTDubz
Clearly he didn't do everything he wanted. What president ever has? But to say "he hasn't fixed anything" -- You sure?
FACTS:
Homicide - down 13%
Violent crime - down 16%
Jobs - up 9.2 mil
Unemployment - down 5%
www.factcheck.org/2016/01/obamas-numbers-january-2016-update/
Ramon Vasquez Jr. I meant that the country hasn't changed, they needed a bigger change and ObamaCare was a shambles, he also worked on giving money almost directly to ISIS and now they're bigger than ever. I don't understand why your comment was so aggressive then, I only wanted a decent conversation. I don't hate Obama, he is a great speaker and created hope, but in the need that's all he was good for.
I never said 'he hasn't fixed anything' you just made that up
LOL. Sorry. It only sounds aggressive cause hit's TH-cam. It wasn't meant that way.
This is one of the best interviews with President Obama I've seen. Not only Bill's questions, but President Obama's candid answers. I didn't hear any b.s. Sure, I'm biased for him, but I didn't really hear any politics in his answers. I don't agree with all he said, but it sounds like a man doing the best he can with what he has. Which is his presidency in a nutshell.
Yeah well he doesn't need to lie through his ass to get likes anymore, that's probably helping his honesty
LycanVonWolf I actually liked that answer, but then again foreign policy/the military is where I differ from a lot of my progressive friends. Agreed about the useless junk though. But that's government contracts. The government always bleeds money in everything; hence why that message plays well to the voters.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Bull shit.. people make excuses for all the things he could do which he didn't and still could but he won't.. because he's a puppet to the billionaires who fund prisons.. drug law.. military... nothing changed with any of them. If not worse. Sure he can release some non violent drug offenders who were serving life.. woop de doo... thats just humane.. theres 10'00s of thousands more who have 10-20 for exactly the same shit.. but because they''ll eventually get out it doesn't matter for a politician who just wants to look sympathetic while doing the bare minimum.
Umm he ran away pretty quick from big money in politics... started talking about food lol. Don't get me wrong I love Obama and all, but gotta call it out. Why do you think he's been trying to avoid getting involved in the DAPL.. he did a tiny interview and said, ehh well wait and see how it plays out. He's not a saint lol
What a calm, composed, and completely professional interview.
Loved it. It showed a steady-handed president on his way out but not off his handle and a comedian in his lane actually letting his subject speak and keeping his jokes at bay.
This is one of the best interviews ever.
Props to both.
Reported for supporting antiwhite racism.
Back when a President actually answered questions and not just walk out.
Facts
@@trembling3674 brilliantly stated!
@Sling Ding suspect the Flint water thing is Michigan thing that the Feds can’t get involved in (outside of an emergency thing which the Governor has to declare and ask for help)
@Sling Ding Obama's book wrote about how republicans blocked everything from happening. Eg In the interest of bipartisanship, obama's team made 200+ amendments to a single bill, because republicans kept complaining and asking for changes, but in the end they still voted against it, so it was just a ploy to delay and block anything from being passed by democrats out of spite.
It's easy when the media supports your agenda.
Whatever happens next week, the world will miss Obama...
Critical Eats Japan definitely this...but I don't think most of them see it yet
J Stevens In the words or your messiah Trump.....WRONG!!!!!!!!
J Stevens If you believe that hogwash then you don't know the first thing about the man and what he's accomplished. Just because you don't agree with him or us doesn't make him bad or wrong. Hillary for President 2016!
WRONG!
J Stevens You don't know you history do you? If you think Obama is the worst President ever your a damn fool. In your mind what makes him the "worst ever"?
Try to imagine Trump speaking with as much knowledge, introspection, honesty, coherency, integrity, decency, compassion, sensitivity.........Hard, ain't it?
With this much knowledge, what he did in middle east and what he did with health care?. 5000 people killed in Chicago in the last 8 years, talkin about sensitivity.
He got us out of the Middle East, gave millions healthcare and never killed anybody in Chicago.
Jack Neidinger He armed terrorists in Iraq, Yemen, Syria and Libya and then import those radicalized people in America. ISIS formed under his regime. Yea, the health care cost is sky rocketing that actually nobody wants that health care. When you have 5000 people killed in a US city because lack of law and order, Obama should atleast stop advising third world countries about how they should run.
You're dodging the question...you know deep down Trump is an idiot. Your hope is Pence also isn't an idiot.
Pksoze Trump is the only American president who openly says he don't support reigme change(. Obama was another, but later turned out Obama did support and create more chaos like Bush). Now for liberals, Trump is now a war monger. Interesting
This is just an astounding interview for so many reasons. Maher asks some great questions. Obama has a sense of humour. Obama gives some thoughtful answers. And in the end, even though they have their differences, there is a level of respect and comradery between them, like strangers with different views, but who both know that they're in this thing together.
Quite similar views, but yeah
It's disgusting.
Where's the birth certificate controversy?
@@Johnsmith-hp6tw It doesn't exist except in your own head. Obama was born in Hawaii, and is a natural born citizen.
The single thing I like the most about Barack Obama (among many) is that you can tell he truly cares about the people he served. He loves America and the people that live here, and he wants to make their lives better.
it's been a great run Barack Obama we will miss you.
I wont
What's funny is that the same type of ppl to say such bull like this will turn around and say "I miss Bush" and ignore how all the reddest states run near 100% by conservatives are poor economically, the dumbest states educationally, and basically places no one wants to live.
Johnny Unitas who hasn't where the fuck have you been Johnny it happens you honestly think it's that fucking easy lol come on man
bry You're wrong. Republicans and the Right speak the truth. You are just a butthurt liberal. Probably s dumbass millennial too.
Ezequiel Lopez Gentlemen please, we can decry Barack plenty without resorting to epithets.
I love both Obama and Maher, and I'm very happy that they've finally met and talked about these issues and problems we still face in the Country. It's incomprehensible to me that anyone would think Obama has not been a great president, that anybody could think Trump would be a better representative and leader of this Country. Obama just oozes gravitas whenever he talks, such an intelligent and well rounded individual who clearly understands the complexity all these issues we have in this Country. In comparison, how can a simpleton narcissistic bigot like Trump get so many votes? I don't understand. Like Maher said before, "it's depressing to think that you share the Country with so many people who you share nothing with".
Amer Hodzic Lol! you to stupid to realize. No wonder you have 2 subscribers. Trump 2016 baby girl.
Amer Hodzic name one good thing that Obama has done for the country. (P.S I recommend that you don't mention Obamacare unless you want to prove to yourself how much of an idiot you are)
YOURE A GODDAMN FUCKING IDIOT
Obamacare
He dug us out of the hole that Bush put us in! He's gained back SOME respect the US lost b/c of Bush's actions! He saved the auto industry and brought back a ton of jobs. Unemployment is very low. He's done A LOT with what he was handed! Do your homework, stay in school.
Such a thoughtful person. The entire interview was not about him. It was about problem-solving and thoughtful consideration of how we solve problems. "Let's agree on facts, and then argue about the means later". Perfect roadmap to solving the toughest problems.
How people could listen to this man and be as rabidly against him as they were/are . . . it has to boil down to pure racism. Well, also jealousy at seeing someone so superior to themselves intellectually and personally . . . who is also black. I think it also scares the pants off them because it blows all their stereotypes--and sense of racial superiority--out of the water. They can't process it so their brains just freak out.
What makes Barack Obama exceptional not only in the world of politics but among all people is his extraordinary ability to retain a sense of objectivity, dispassionately dissect issues, and then choose from among a limited selection of imperfect possible options the best response.
honestly Obama was one of the greatest presidents this country needed damn why couldn't his wife run 😭
Viganch0 I don't think that word applies to this situation.
His husband*
+Mandingo Gringo
Reduce unemployment to under five percent.
***** I can give you many but if you want one well he was the one pulled out all of the soldiers out of iraq and ended the war there and if you remember that was draining lots of money out of the U.S.
***** Have something more worth my time thank you :)
In six months, or a year, we're really going to miss this guy
Gabryal Sansclair
I know, he really is a great human being and we were extremely fortunate to have had such a good man as our president!!
A 16 year old boy whose father was a terrorist and he was with militants trying to kill people. If you do not want your son dead...do not bring him into a war zone where he can be killed.
Gabryal Sansclair How much is Brock paying you for that post?
more CTR, its amazing.
Gabryal Sansclair people didn't understand, but as his time comes to an end, its really hitting me and the rest of the country.
He is just too smart for an average American, I can see why some consider him aloof or out of touch....he kept Bill quiet the whole interview....you can see his admiration from his eyes
Obama stepped down from a high paying law office to be a public servant! He felt he needed to help not what he could make out of being Pres. Biden is the same.
He was elected by the average American you clown
@@spicyirwin5835 Biden is a shitshow. He’s responsible for dead Americans in Afghanistan, Russia provoking a world war in Europe, Taiwan will be taken over by China unless he intervenes in a serious way, inflation at historic highs, a reduction in wages, thousands of closed small businesses, overseen more deaths from Covid than Trump and threw the entire military under the bus for the taliban takeover by lying about the info they gave him.
If he's too smart for the average America, then he shouldn't have run for office.
But, I dont think that's the issue. I think his point is right that there is too much misinformation & people are too stressed out to get the right messages.
Also, I don't think Bill Maher was staying quiet because he was in awe of his brilliance, as you implied. I think they're mostly on the same side, & Bill was just letting him speak without interrupting.
And one of the smartest things he did was to mute his intelligence so as not to scare the average dummy even more. If you read some of the things he wrote in college, he could easily have been a professor. What he learned from his mother is how to explain things to non-experts (i.e. students) without condescending, including (as we used to say) using words of one syllable or less. A difficult trick when you're that smart.
Thank you for this interview Bill Maher. You allowed President Obama to speak. And you showed great respect to him. This is a very respectable interview.
I really respect Obama.
He did the best he could.
Vincent Franklin If that's true, it's kind of sad. I say that from the left. The Bush administration was full of incompetent cronies but Obama's team are some of the most out of touch, elitist Ivy League assholes you'd ever want to meet.
bullshit
boknowsbaseball So having the best education in the field hinders their success because they are viewed as elitist by lower classes?
Vincent Franklin i kinda see him as a bridge to the next 20 years of American history
@ Vincent Franklin...He did the best he could to sell us out to the globalist corporate state and now he supports the Clinton crime family.
I'm trying to imagine Trump having an intelligent, reasoned, informed conversation like this. Now I have to go ice my brain.
He will have the best conversation, no one have conversations like him. Everybody that have ever seen him have a conversation always says hes the best at it.
Keleigh Hardie you mean he won't bullsht like this failure. Pretty sure when you build a billion dollar business empire you know how to have an informed conversation. Lol
No, because Trump consistently has interviews where he has the knowledge of a 7th grader. He might have been semi-intelligent in his past, but being surrounded by Yes-Men his entire life he does not know the world, only knows the world as he sees it without reading or knowing any facts to begin with. It's not hard to get rich off of owning new york real estate, his family was one of the first to buy new york real estate- meaning the 71 other billionaires that live in NYC also had similar paths.
Joe Smith The times Trump had the chance to act calm and have a proper conversations where during the debates where him and Hillary screamed at eachother. Not saying he can't have one but that's when he should have showed that he was capable of doing so.
You sound uneducated... I feel bad for you and the folks that think Donald Trump will make this country great again.
It’s crazy watching this nearly six years later, seeing how different everything is- and how a comedy/late night talk show host can give a more serious and substantive interview to a President than an actual “news” anchor can (re: Hannity and Trump).
It is so damn refreshing to hear some intelligent speech after four years of egotistical babbling.
Only one person is promoting the big lie
@Julian I was referring to trump, obviously
Unbelievable the cheerful reviews of this interview after all the terrible things Obama did and explains the reason we have the government we do by all those that swallowed the propaganda hook line and sinker even after the Princeton Study proved we have lived in an oligarchy for decades: Obama promised when running the first thing he would do is codifying Roe versus Wade and never did so Democrats could continue to run on it after 50 years of doing so.

After 8 years of Obama and abuse from the Democratic Party, Trump was elected after making the same promises as Obama’s hope and change calling it clean the swamp.
@@davidcbr0wn I just said he talks eloquently. Never said I liked the guy
@@smexizool got tough to take all the drooling over Obama and watching Maher kiss his ass it was disgusting.
Obama has been a great President and will be remembered well by history. Hillary has big shoes to fill!
Jim Doe hillary hasn't won yet
Smoke SOME MORE CRACK!!!
Jim Doe those shoes are for trump
Trump has a chance of winning just like hillary it's 50/50
No, Basho. It's not 50/50. According to RealClearPolitics, they take all the poll, leaning republican, democratic, and neutral, and come up with percentage points. Hillary had of 95+ % chance for much of October. Following FBI's 'intervention' in the election, that number has dropped to 70. So, with 3 days out, it's 70/30 in favor of Clinton.
On Tuesday, let's raise our millions of voices to tell Donald Trump: "You're Fired!"
CaptainHappen lets not, hes not a scary president just a dumb one
clinton is fucking terrifying and a proven criminal plus war with russia is a terrrrrible fucking idea
CaptainHappen Hilary for prison!
No need for hate. Hill no.
yeah a million is all she'll get and they'll all be dead ones
Lagnaf Irby maybe ten million.
He looks like a very stable genius
He is so smart. And modest and humble and brought those qualities to the role. He was a true leader.
this guy is in a different class, do people really think Trump can do better?
You can't do much worse. What class is he in? You delusional liberals are so brain damaged and out of touch with reality, driven by his emotional and sappy speeches. No matter how articulate and pseudo-intellectual Obama is, it doesn't change what he does behind the scenes and the effects of his agenda-driven policies rather than the results. He was a disaster!
Calling people delusional while saying that a president can't do much worse than Obama is the height of delusion. Stock market levels, unemployment numbers, leaving Iraq, Al Qaeda decimated, Bin Laden dead, existence of an American auto industry, 20 million insured, restrictions on insurance company practices regarding pre-existing conditions, Cuba, Paris Accord, a scandal-free administration, restoring stability to the markets post 2008. It would be very easy to do worse. Out of touch with reality, delusional, brain washed? As you prepare yourself to vomit the talking points that dispute these points back to me, do so knowing that they can all be verified by observation, facts and common sense.
I'm speaking of his class as a politician, he just surpasses Trump in every way so from that point of view I wonder how this term can improve on things. Obama just needed more time. I'm not a Clinton supporter either really but I'd probably have to say, as an outsider I would have picked her because she has Obama's backing.
Trump is interesting in the fact we have no idea how he will turn out, maybe it won't be as bad as people think, is it likely he will upset half the country putting crazy policies in place? Has he even the power to do it?
The obviously media played a massive part in this, if they didn't keep harping on about Trump's bad wording and stuck to the main issues the people would have been less imitated by the coverage press. While I agree a lot it it was creepy from Trump, it clearly didn't matter to a lot of people so give up and go for another angle, which they didn't, which led to the "is Hilary a saint then" argument. the whole thing hypocrisy at its finest, a big part of Trump getting in.
Obama comes across as a decent human being which is the difference, this farce would never have happened if he was running against Trump, he embarrassed him once, he would have destroyed him in an election with reasoned arguments and temperament.
yeah she wouldn't have exactly been an amazing choice. I have to agree it is nice seeing a few people slapped in the face from this outcome. there was a very smug attitude coming from the press as well.
Yes We Do
God I'm going to fucking miss him....
I'm not.
I feel the same. The guy has done an incredible job.
Me too, He is so fucking cool.
whats ur problem with guns? without sufficient arms how are we to ever defend ourselves against tyranny? do u forget that as a citizen of a democracy it is your duty to cast off the chains of oppressive government? how might that be accomplished without high quality fire-arms, which the government will have no problem procuring?
@Joel West The pen is mightier than the sword.
Wow.. an interviewer who actually let’s the guest TALK w/o constantly interruption
Disgusting, isn't it? No libocrat should ever be allowed to speak.
Well, Bill Maher often does talk over his guests. The difference is, he's usually smarter, or more honest, than they are and he gets impatient. Here he is interviewing someone at least his equal, and that improves a conversation dramatically.
I'm pretty sure most of people are watching this video just because they miss how a president should sound like.
Yes
😂🤣😂
You filthy antiwhite racist. May the LORD YOUR GOD ALMIGHTY burn your souk for all eternity.
Racism reported to youtube.
AMERICA - are you serious? Do so many of you actually believe that Trump would make a good replacement for President Obama? Trump is not fit to clean his shoes. WAKE UP and make your vote count. Get behind Clinton and consign Trump to the scrapheap.
I have never seen Bill Mather show so much respect for the person he is interviewing. Consequentially, my respect for Mather has grown exponentially.
HAHAHAHA, why? cuz he has done such a star-spangled awesome job? Look at obamacare. it's horrible. I watched Obama's last SOTU speech and he was bragging about bin Laden's death. Bitch please!!! It was the military and the Navy SEALS like Rob O'Neill who killed Osama bin Laden. and then i watch these dumb fucks like Bill maher, Jon Stewart, Stephen colbert and others praising obama. Gimme a break.
DBZFan2 ...you do realize that he took a giant risk inserting American troops in Pakistan to get bin laden right? At the time Romney and the republicans said they wouldn't go against pakistans ruling
On Americans military on their soil, EVEN IF osama was known to be there.
You sound so misinformed it's actually embarrassing.
DBZFan2 bro come on. if the troops all died trying to kill bin laden. how would've took the blame "OBAMA". so now that it's a success I'm not saying he needs all the credit. but well a portion
DBZFan2 Yes, a Cornell, William & Mary, and Northwestern graduate are all dumb fucks. 🙄
***** name me one president that hasn't ordered attacks that killed women and children? Just one.
And Muslim? The truth? You sound loony as fuck. Let me guess, you got this secret truths from a TH-cam video.
Lets be honest could trump ever sit down like this and have an intelligent conversation like this?
Bathing Ape the answer is no
No fucking way
Just had to say I really got a kick out of your name.
+ Bathing Ape - ''TITS!!!''
But Trump knows words; he has the best words
Watching this 4-5 years after it's release makes me speechless. Interpret that as you will.

2 of my favorite people. Way to go, Bill!

mine also!
I was thinking the exact same thing.!
Maher's a prick. Shitty interview, Obama is a dipshit.
possibly the finest presidential interview in history
Clubber Lang, your mama is a dip ship. I am Bouncer John with my pet Tiger I will Bounce you..
Can you imagine Trump having a conversation like this?? Obama is thinking on his feet with informed, intelligent answers. That Trump was even considered a viable option to fill this mans shoes is a joke and flat out embarrassing.
Cynthia Quigley yea, but what's worse is that hillary beat out sanders. that's some rigged bullshit
Yeah, that really angered me for a while but I don't think that is worse. Hillary made me mad but I despise Trump. I hope to never see his fat fucking face after his concession Tuesday night. Once again, thinking women are deciding.
Cynthia Quigley do you think Obama wasn't given the questions ahead of time?

“If I watched Fox News I wouldn’t want to vote for me either”
Damn, I felt that.
“ I love the poorly educated” -Adolf Trump
This is one of the best intellectual programs I have ever watched in my life, and I just turned 60. We have to be responsible as adults. Our Government is only as powerful is we are.
Unbelievable the cheerful reviews of this interview after all the terrible things Obama did and explains the reason we have the government we do by all those that swallowed the propaganda hook line and sinker even after the Princeton Study proved we have lived in an oligarchy for decades: Obama promised when running the first thing he would do is codifying Roe versus Wade and never did so Democrats could continue to run on it after 50 years of doing so. Obama’s cabinet was selected in an email from Citigroup a month BEFORE the 2008 general election at a time when Wall St. crashed the world economy. Combine that with Citigroup took more TARP money than anyone else. Obama kicked 5.1 million families out of their homes and got Wall St. to keep their bonuses. Obama got AIG the insurance money so Wall St. didn’t suffer losses for their crazy derivative bets without even a haircut that was expected. Obama took us from 2 wars to 7. Obama adopted a right wing heath care program from the Heritage foundation that increased insurance company profits and bankrupted families. Obama dropped more bombs than Bush. Obama deported more Latinos and Bush. Obama’s drone program killed innocent people 90% of the time. Obama continued the Bush tax cuts. After 8 years of Obama and abuse from the Democratic Party, Trump was elected after making the same promises as Obama’s hope and change calling it clean the swamp.
Ok, here's my personal consensus on Obama after watching this interview, which is the most authentic I've seen him, and after seeing him in "Before the Flood" and how he's dealt with the Dakota Pipeline (where I'm NOT happy with him).
Is this:
He is a very intelligent, warm, and sophisticated individual with a profound sense of reason. He clearly sees what is right and clearly what is wrong, to the FACT, and does what is factually right in a way us people are like "Hell yeah Obama! Do your thing!"
HOWEVER, in the pursuit of what is right and Problem-Solving (emphasis on problem solving), he is TRYING TO PLEASE EVERYBODY. Even in the way he constructs his sentences, he's trying to speak in a way that makes everyone happy, "win/win" as you'd call it. But in reality he compromises.
- He wants to respect the Natives and preserve the environment, but still allow Oil companies to build their pipeline.
- He understands the Healthcare needs for his people and demands it, but still gives pass to many of the chemical corporate practices for the sake of profit
- And this is no news, he tries to make sure the Corporates are happy and incentives profit motives, and tries to still give the people what they need.
And all in all, I think the worst part of Obama's run, is not himself nor his character, but the amount of compromises he's had to make, and I think he's trying too hard to make everyone happy, preventing further resolution.
The reason why people liked Bernie was because he had just as much intelligence, warmth, sophistication, and will to get the job done and do what is right. But Bernie does not compromise on any of these issues, he was a man on a mission, much more "No Bullshit" than Obama.
With that said, I think that's why Bernie didn't beat Hillary, the Electoral College/Electives were to scared to get him in, and at the same time I think that's why Obama won back in 2008/2012. I feel like Bernie's attitude solves problems whereas Obama/Hillary just wins you the seat in office because it "pleases".
To simplify for any young kids reading this "Obama is a good guy, did his best along with some awesome work, but he gave into social pressure, and chose to compromise, just like any person would."
In my opinion, Obama should've pissed more people off: those who incentivize profit over our people, corporate over our care, media over our minds, and organizations over our personal organs.
That's my two cents, thank you.
JML689
Fantastic summation of my thoughts as well.
JML689
As an outsider, I have to add to what you said and perhaps give a hint of insight. Obama is, as you say, a great individual with the right ideas for the most part. But America is, and has been so divided over the last decade and beyond. One side is fed zombie lies (Copyright to Bill Maher) and the other side is so ignorant as to opt out of vaccines.
Obama chose to play the diplomat and sadly I believe it was entirely due to his race. America is a largely racist nation still, and having the first black president step in and try to run the show like Puppet Bush under Cheney, that wasn't going to fly.
Look how much the polarized hate him now? Imagine if he had actually stepped on any of their toes.
Please don't let Orange Hitler get into office. Sometimes it is better to do a little evil for the greater good.
JML689 anyone with half a brain would agree with you're assessment. Obama was a good president ( def better than average) but he was not an Amazing president. Because what we needed after two terms of bush/Cheney was a super progressive ( like Bernie) to pull us back from the crazy right. Obama would of been perfect for this election but not in 2008. Hopefully Hillary will surprise Americans and follow thru on the democratic platform which is giving into 80% of what progressives want anyways. ONE THING is for sure and that is Trump cannot become president.
Enjoyed reading your thoughts, in part because you put so much more thought into it than most commenters on off-the-cuff message boards. I will say this, though, in Obama's defense: Feeling a need to please everyone is, sadly, the lot of the successful politician is today's democracies. I adore Bernie Sanders, but I also believe her can say what he wants because he knows, in the end, he won't win a general election. It's the Ralph Nader effect. If Michael Moore ran for president, he'd be the same way, I suspect. The stakes are so much higher when you know you have a very good chance of winning. And with four-year term limits, the moment you're elected, you're either in campaign mode for reelection or in campaign mode for your preferred successor - "the legacy effect," if you will. I'm going to miss this president. I had many, many issues with him. I thought he could've been more proactive in foreign affairs, on climate change, on race relations, on the Dakota Pipeline, as you say. But he did so much, accomplished so much. Being in power - real power - is about compromise, and compromise means finding a middle ground with constituencies - big oil, military spending, overseas interventions - you don;' necessarily agree with. Jimmy Carter stuck by his principles, and was admirable in many respects. He was also a one-time president who was defeated soundly when he ran for re-election. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush - cut from very different cloths - served double terms, in part because they knew how to play the left-wing bomb-throwers against the right-wing crazies and stake out a middle ground. So I'm sorry but I can't be too hard on Obama for wanting to be all things to all people.
Bryan C I absolutely agree, I don't talk about "Orange Hitler" because I think he's a childish salesman not even worth bringing up in a conversation towards any type of progress.
Don't worry buddy, I understand! :)
President Obama is so gracious, thoughtful, intelligent, confident, and humble. It has been great having him serve as POTUS for eight years. He and Michelle will be missed. I look forward to seeing how they will spend their time post-White House.
I think you meant him and Micheal.
Agreed ^^^^
Karen Kossie-Chernyshev, PhD When you are a Deplorable, you can not recognize or appreciate classy ppl...
cockyragazzo oh my how the iq of Americans has gotten so low
So good to hear this meeting and to know he is still with us.
Watching this again in 2022, sad to know it was before a lot of bad days for America...... interesting to hear President Obama speak about "following the science" on many issues......how prophetic, he had no idea how those words would be twisted from the right during the pandemic.
I am so glad to have lived in a time when I can say, this was my president.
Obama is a realist and has a nuanced view on things. America did right by electing and re-electing him.
Nope.
jad1079 his Heath care system !
absolutely true, compared to the last few, and his potential replacements, it
seems we won't have as good a president for awhile
+Abnormal Spaces His healthcare system failed but that doesn't mean he was a bad president. The good outweighs the bad
Failed? Do you have any idea how long these things take to improve? It is going to take decades for any system to improve to a point where it starts to work relatively smoothly. Canada's is still deeply flawed but when Canadians voted for who the most important person in their country's history they chose Tommy Douglas, the father of socialized medicine. He was labelled a communist just like Bernie Sanders was by those on the right. Like Obama said, it's a starter home. It's going to require many renovations.
I saw some of his recent speeches, appearances on TV shows, his work, how he handled the country when he took over during that mess in 2008 and where he has taken it now , I don't know, I was almost in tears realizing that he will be gone! . I will miss his positive talk, his sense of humor, his way of handling things, his acceptance of criticism and everything Sorry guys, I might sound like a complete dork and a idiot , but I really feel like crying now that Obama is going to leave the office.
TheStarryboy (Trolling ends) an idiot*
Thanks , but you should have started your statement with a capital A. An*.
Jesus man. You burnt me :(
Yes, he took a crisis and made it fucking 10x worse! Obama is one of the worse and most divisive presidents in American history. Don't be fooled by his charm. Him leaving is one of the best things to happen.
how is losing 800k jobs a month in 2008 and gaining 100's of thousands of jobs for 72 months, worse???
You don't make any sense
I am in awe watching two men of intellectual talk. It is a very humbling feeling. Had it not been for the AHCA my late husband and I would have been stuck with hospital bills in NC til today. Before we moved here to AZ in 2019. We had paid off what we paid from out of pocket which was less than $4,000.00.
You know that out of all the winners and losers from WWII the US is the only country that doesn’t provide medical care to its citizens. Glad you were able to afford the $4k but that would bankrupt many families who can’t afford a $400 emergency. Unbelievable the cheerful reviews of this interview after all the terrible things Obama did and explains the reason we have the government we do by all those that swallowed the propaganda hook line and sinker even after the Princeton Study proved we have lived in an oligarchy for decades: Obama promised when running the first thing he would do is codifying Roe versus Wade and never did so Democrats could continue to run on it after 50 years of doing so.

Wow in 2020 this is just the conversation I needed to watch.
Hello all, friendly reminder, regardless of you views on politics. The best plan of action is voting Hillary in, and then voting in progressive senators to congress on the down ballot. Vote because we need to help people like Elizabeth warren and Bernie sander, we need to help senators and representatives like them actually pass laws in congress. The GOP has failed us and became the party of obstruction. Do you want congress to actually become useful again? Vote democratic in 2016. Let's get this country moving again.
***** No, no need, just vote in congress people that can hold her accountable and can introduce good legislature that can make our lives better. Gay people, Muslims, mexicans, blacks, whites... men and WOMEN, depend on progressive ,smart forward thinking legislature.
It's unfortunate that the whore who shit Barack Obama out didn't have the common decency to abort him.
tonytony87 idiot
Grasshopper no, NO! You're the idiot! ... no, YOU'RE the IDIOT! lol haha
***** No im serious, if you think both candiates suck, im with you. But you know who sucks the most? congress. Did you know that these past 6 years congress has been run by a GOP majority? The past 6 years they have been grinding the government to a hault and getting no work done. Obama and democrats have introduces legislation to help gay people, women, minorities, small business, Bernie sanders and warren alone have introduced real change.
Hell Obama gave congress a bipartisan conservative leaning judge with an impeccable record. And they still blocked the Judicial nomination!!!!
It's clear that the GOP and Trump don't want change and they don't want to work together with anybody. It's time me oust them.
Is hillary perfect? No. But she will help out our progressive senators and representatives pass menaingful laws that serve this country rather than give us 4 more years of nothing but fillabusters and stalemates..
C'mon, stop blaming immigrants, muslims, gays and minorities on your problems. It's congress, we haven;t gottenb any meaningful work done in over 6 years because of the GOP run congress!!! Lets make america GREATER than it already is.
Vote Democratic this election and help support progress for the future, not some ass backwards mentality.
Love him or hate him, he's an articulate and thoughtful guy. Imagine Trump answering these questions.
fuck off with that racist shit. Obama is a shit president, but that has nothing to do with his race. Think of how many corrupt stiffs we've had in office that have been white, a lot more than black folks.
He is exceptionally intelligent, diplomatic, well spoken, and a visionary statesman. He's the Jackie Robinson of politics.
He's the JJ Evans of politics
BG BG im sorry about your mother and father beating you as a child. its not your fault
Donald Grab them by the pussy Trump And
The smartest thing that happened during this interview is that Bill let him talk.

What I always appreciate about Obama is his willingness to think about a question before engaging his mouth to talk about it.

For fucksake why must he leave.The thought of replacing him with Trump or Hillary fucking kills me.
FUCK OBAMA!!! We can't afford him anymore. He's added more debt than ALL previous presidents combined. We need someone that actually understands money. We need Trump!!...
Because we are a capitalist democratic republic.
Good Lord, you have this wrong. Been drinkin' the Koolaid....
The debt is a direct product of Bush's tax-cuts. The math checks out.
There's isn't anything Trump could do that would better the U.S.'s status, at least, none that I can see.
Obummer was just another corporatist puppet with failed leftist ideology.
Great President
and your mad also
his mad what?
The worst president of our times. #followthewikileaks
There is yet to be a president with policies liked by everyone living in this country and Obama isn't an exception. But compared to the ones before him and others, he was one of the good president. He's obviously intelligent and can think critically (unlike Trump). He has no record of stupid scandals. For God's sake, the one thing they could come up with to discredit him was his birth. You know how low that is?
Mckendy Joseph no scandals. false media doesn't cover them. sold weapons to Mexican cartels, sent weapons to rebels in Syria turned out to be isis. IRS persecuted conservative groups. his secretary of state pay for play. lied about nuke deal iran, lied about wiretapping, lied about Obamacare, lied about stimulus.
is he smart? hell yes he's brilliant but he is no patriot and has helped to destroy our freedoms.
President Obama is just a joy to listen to. No question is ignored and he has an honest answer for the rest.
Going from President Obama to Trump is like ordering a Fine wine and being served urine.
Man, you could not have stated it better...it's similar to ordering Tanqueray Gin and being served Calvert Gin!
What was so good about Obama?
Well...since the country was in better shape, from a local and world stage standpoint, under President Trump, than it had been in decades, I can proudly tell you to PISS OFF, and here's your urine!
@@alejandroondarza2949 just watch how he speaks like an adult and a leader…I know you may not remember a president like this
@@alejandroondarza2949 You obviously forget what he inherited from 8 years of W.
I will miss this president more than you know. What an elegant, intelligent, thoughtful man. Now we have to go from this to Trump. SO SO SAD.
Hexus Dominus i
Typical response.
You disgust me. You can disagree with him, but your racism is reviling.
Fifi Trixiebelle yea? I am sure Trump will be shit. But ask Syrian civilians who are being bombed for no reason if they will miss Obama. Ask peaceful lybians if they'll miss Obama. Fuck Obama, fuck trump, fuck them all and fuck YOU for being so stupid that you don't call out people for their bullshit just because you're rooting for team blue. Both teams have many SHIT players. Be honest and CALL OUT THEIR BULLSHIT
Need a tampon hon?
GMO foods are safe, and they don't need to simply increase yields to be useful for farmers. Thank you President Obama for actually saying that science matters.
If you want to eat GMO foods, that's fine. But why don't companies want their food to be labeled as such? People should have the right to know what they are eating.
No offense, but at one point scientific studies used to say that smoking wasn't bad for your health - so I think I'll take my chances and "err on the side of caution" until another study is released in 20 years which has had enough time to evaluate the population who freely ate GMO foods.
00inwiththenew00 Exactly!!! We have a right to know!!! It should be my choice.
Because, you are ignoring not a single study, but hundreds of studies showing the food safety, it's an implicit accusation of danger to have label a particular kind of food evolution.
Yeah.. He just didn't trust the science when it comes to weed, hypocrite.
YOUNOOB ; GMO isnot safe!
I watch this every month to stay sane
It's really tough watching this in hindsight. All I can think of is "oh boy, if only you knew what's about to happen..."
From Canada. One word. Class.
Just curious, was that a take from the 2nd part of a best of Three's Company episode?

"Together we stand"
Nice to have a President you can be proud of.
People take their cues from whatever news source reinforces their beliefs, so its impossible to reason with those who have been taught to hate everything about Obama from day-1.
But ultimately the day-to-day noise disappears and a President's legacy is judged on its merits.
And history will judge Obama kindly because he left the country better than he found it.
He will be considered a very good President. Not Mt Rushmore good, but definitely in the top 25%.
And I, for one, will miss him.
Liberal Smiter When in doubt compare those you disagree with to Hitler. Classic.
Please feel free to enlighten me "as to the founding of this country" and share your expertise on the rise of Nazism and its parallels to Obama's Presidency. I dont see the connection.
I'll try to take you serious and not merely pretend to be open minded.
But if you call me mean names, like 'dummy' and 'liberal' (I think you meant that to be an insult, no?)... Well, I think I'll just retreat to my safe space, collapse into the fetal position and cry myself to sleep.
Liberal Smiter I have no idea what you're trying to say. And I have a hunch you dont either.
Liberal Smiter Both liberals and conservatives are a threat to free speech. Liberals want to curb hate speech and force us to make our speech more in line with political correctness. Conservatives want to curb obscenity and force us to make our speech more in line with Christian family values.
Donald Trump might increase freedom of speech from a religious perspective, but he will also tighten libel laws and crack down on obscenity. This will give powerful individuals more opportunity to silence what they don't like to hear and it will allow religious fundamentalists to force their Puritan standards onto the rest of the community when it comes to sexuality in media.
In the end, we will not have gained any freedom of speech. Civil libertarians are true defenders of freedom of speech.
That's what threw the polsters people secretly voted for Trump because they were ashamed and didn't vote their conscience to so call "stick it to the establishment" but they're only sticking it to themselves. Trump has basically back pedaled on the wall, that's one promise already broken LMAO
mark williams Trump's soul is black. He actually called out to the Pope that the pope should not interfere in our elections.
What an intelligent man and oh how I miss him.
so true
Amazing guy. Wish he could run again. Love his wife too!
"If I watched Fox News I wouldn't vote for me either." -President Obama

Sam What a great quote
angel olea hahahhaahahhahahahahHhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaahhahHHHhHh....thnx i needed that.
Can you cite a report that they lied?
angel olea confirmation bias?
OMG I am going to cry now. The difference, the memory of civilisation and intellectual refinement and veracity is toooo much.
don't cry its trump vote him out
veracity
DON'T!!!
It's the most dramatic change anyone could ever imagine. Forget about the politics, the difference in humility, intelligence, integrity, honesty, etc. almost every measurement of a person's intellect and personality is completely off the charts. It demonstrates that a narcissist sociopath is almost a different species. And half this country is either so gullible or deranged to prefer what we have now to the previous administration. This is bizarro earth.
Kinda funny tbh
Thank you, this was one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Great job from both of you.
This is one of the best interviews I, ve ever seen
I love president Barack Obama. Thank you for your service Mr. President.
He played golf for 8 years and the American people picked up the tab.
Jim Anders no that’s the POS currently occupying the Oval Office and disgracing this country on a daily basis. Trump has golfed about 500 times since he took office and is actually ripping Americans off everytime he golfs. Also, Melania’s security detail cost American taxpayers $100,000 a day.
CNN has fried your brain, dude.
Jim Anders only a racists POS that doesn't know history or economic to not know it was Obama's policy that saved the US and World economy and he's responsible for today's economy. It takes 1 1/2 years for any economic policies to take place
Yeah THANKS OBAMA FOR THE GAY PRIDE PROMOTION. CHINA NORTH KOREA AND IRAN DID NOT GET THE PROMOTION
so much respect for this man
This man and Hillary left 4 Americans to die. He cared more about his political career. My god people are so fucked up.
Mark Dukes yet you have nothing to say about the Republican led Congress, that despite Hillary asking for more funding specifically for protecting our embassies, they voted against it. Then pinned all the blame on her for not "protecting" the people in Benghazi. I guess Republicans caring more about their money then about human lives is totally fine with you. My god, people are so fucked up.
This is the first time I have seen you, Bill Maher, serious in conversation. I enjoyed this program. I admire your taking on the president of the country, allegedly the most powerful person on earth. Your discussion with Obama shows he is your equal. You both have respectable ideas on the same issues, but you do it comedically, which he can't for lots of reasons. The comedy makes it much more memorable in my opinion. Having said that, I have immense respect for the both of you. I wish you both could reach more people who have the ability to understand common sense and critical thinking.
The US is the earth now?
watching this now, after enduring the last 4 years, this comes across as eerie and foreshadowing.
I was thinking the exact same thing. I would be nice if Progressive Democrats would watch and understand what President Obama is talking about in this interview. But since they think that their shit don't stink , I doubt they would listen.
Bill Maher, I fuckin love you, man! Finally, someone got Obama to talk about religion and science, and how nonbelievers should be treated equally as believers. If you ask me, I think Obama is a closeted atheist! Another reason why I respect him!
Kookie Monster
amen
Thrump will never be able to have a discussion like this.
truth
There are too many ignorant uninformed citizens.......w/ low IQ and no idea about real politics~!!!
as awkward as this was, yeah, you're right.
rutger5000 so true
rutger5000 absolutely right. It breaks my heart that this extremely brilliant President is being going to be replaced such a disgraceful one.
Wow, what a brilliant interview. He answers the questions with insightful, meaningful commentary to add to these hot button topics while always remaining tactful, respectful, and keeping the gravitas of the POTUS. I found myself agreeing with him on most things. The more time goes on the more I appreciate just how great a president Obama was.
A very refreshing interview. Think about what's happened since then, and where we are headed now.
Bill Maher finally got his interview with our wonderful President Obama! Great interview!
carol nelson Nothing wonderful about Obama! He is a liar. I lost my doctor and my health insurance because of that piece of shit that you call a president. He is also the most corrupt president this country has ever had.
You might be too dumb to argue with...you really might...
carol nelson He is not wonderful. he need jobs and he's busy campaigning day and night on our tax dollars. I'm not happy
carol nelson he's a trashy neoliberal
Not even close to awful. You fucking over-the-top ignorant buffoon.
I am conservative, so when it comes to policy, there are pronounced disagreements. But no one can ever doubt his intellect: it exudes him entirely. I respect that & I think deep down, a lot of the vitriol thrown his way comes from a place of envy.
you are right. i will also add hate. i saw an editorial by a man who referred to himself as a card-carrying republican who gave up his membership on account of republicans having no agenda other than to thwart anything obama proposed. in his view, the republican hated obama more than they loved america. those are some serious claims by an avowed republican.
As a member of the Liberal Enemy I applaud you for your honesty. It’s a pity so many out there on both sides, Conservative and Liberal, are unable to see past policy differences to the core of who people are. I have many times said that Lindsey Graham or John McCain are men who I disagree heartily with but who have my respect for their way of comporting themselves. I hope your attitude rubs off on others and we can get back to a place of discussion and debate in this country without all the hatred.
Well done, my friend. It takes intellect to appreciate intellect. I wish I didn't feel the need to praise you for a simple "I disagree, but respect", but it's in such short supply these days. These are depressing times, and then I'm not even an american. Even though this has escalated to new heights in the US, I can see the same tendencies of national splintering and ignorance growing over here in Europe. "This side is what I agree with, so everything and everyone on the other side must be bad, and everything on this side must be good!" is the prevailing logic. I've had this uneasy feeling around the unity of the West, and it's growing. I don't believe it's going to end well, actually.
Josué Jiménez n
Obama is a fucking dumbass, no doubt about it.
This held up perfectly. Especially the parts about science and the media
It’s crazy watching this in 2021. We really need another guy like him.
Biden was his VP you know.
holy shit, he really did it. he got the president to sit with him
+Ryan Wehr That’s because he is very intelligent - as well as refreshingly frank and outspoken.
The guy he funded to become president?
I think a million dollar campaign donation deserves a 40 minute sit down, don't you?
not a big deal nowadays, hbo paid obama to be interviewed.
That is an interesting claim. Two questions:
1. How do you know that? a.k.a. what is your source?
2. How much?
I NEED TO WATCH THIS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK TO KEEP MYSELF SANE
Tomny Evans Yes me too 👍
@Super Sonic Great! you had it great? So let me tell you how the world had it. Libyia, one of the most developed country in middle east destroyed. The country that distributed the wealth. If person wanted to study anywhere in the world , government would help to fund it, if people got married they received the house, every person over 18 received Universal income. Has not have civil war, was looking to make peace with the world.
Country destroyed completely, ISIS was put to power, as the rebels you supported turned out to be ISIS. Then Syria, same thing, the rebels you were supplying in guns, passed it to ISIS. From regions you oversaw the trucks were transporting oil to them for ages. That is why they grew in power. And Russia showed the recording and asked what the hell are you doing? Why are you supporting rebels who in big part joined ISIS.
30 000 kids died. Big migration in Europe where people who never wanted to leave the country , had to . Often people with no language, no opportunities, mafia formed on the borders, people sold everything to get out. Went to foreign countries broken with no funds no language and no cultural understanding often. The repurcussions will be in years to come. Luckily you got Trump who also asked what the hell you are doing and this ordeal has ended. And he was not interested in starting another war in spite of obvious advice from people who have different interests.
So great you feel good and lifted by nice speech of peace and unity. He is a great orator and I am sure a decent human being. But he was not competent to make these decisions. Mistakes yes, well. He did exactly the same in Syria as was mistake with Libyia. He did not learn. So do not brag how good you had it when 30 000 kids died in vain.
Tomny Evans ...( is your name spelled correctly)... BUT They Tell Me Too Much...porn...is ...insane ... p.s. so what do i do with this HARD Ass ...DicK....
I feel you! Probably daily now?
You and me both, Tommy.
LOVED THIS INTERVIEW!
I just love Obama! What a pure pleasure it is to listen to him! A man of reason, intelligence, compassion, calmness, and resolve! He actually speaks in whole, intelligent, sentences - in a continuous stream - for a long period of time! How refreshing! He is a breath of fresh air, after the last 4 years! Now if we can only survive for the next 70 days, till Biden/Harris take the reins from "that other guy" (I don't want to ever have to speak his name again)!
When you see and hear this in 2020 during the Covid-19 outbreak... I can't even.
Can't even what?
@First Lady it's a common internet phrase. You not getting it doesn't make the OP an improper writer.
its summer in 2018 and this conversation is still illuminating.
2019 here💔😪
The part where he spoke about where we get our infomation from multi places is very true and we see it more today. Instead of having converstations and looking at multiple points of view we are only going to believe what we are feed. People have become out of touch with reality now.
This is the first time I’ve actually heard Bill Mauer actually listen to the person he has on without demeaning them. 🤦🏻♂️😂
I can dig that Bill Maher is a devisive character. He's a Liberal Libertarian. I'm simply liberal-minded. Nevertheless.....unless you are Sean Hannity or Dick Chaney, you'd have to be a hard-assed hater of Democrats in general to think (after watching at least half of this video) to think that this President is evil or stupid. He's a thinker, he's open-minded, smart, aware, and seems to really like this country.
Doesn't matter to me who you vote for this time. Just saying that this guy is pretty good.
Bob Loza I second your statement and I am personally sick to death of no one else in the media or on it that doesn't act like this, which is what being a damn good person, thinker is all about!
Unfortunately about HALF of the country's Hannity & Chaney fans.
To which, unfortunately, I must agree.
Bob Loza true except he doesn't believe in germ theory or vaccines
Merke Johnson ----Don't miss your Black Lies Don't matter, meeting. Free chitlins.
What a thoughtful and compassionate man. I miss him greatly.
Not bigly?
I'm from middle east and not even western but i bet you miss this guy now.
Anyone watching this on September 2020?
Now this is how a president should behave. Intelligent, calm, a true leader.
Steven Reichert my dude danced around almost every question
Steven Reichert stop drinking the bong water, the resin is oozing out your ears...MAGA
@blah blah Since the beginning of the 21st century it has been an impossible job. We have become too massive to handle.
Doc Vega I’m not an Obama fan either, but please don’t criticize other people for their lack of intellect. You sound like a fucking idiot and if you think Trump is delivering on what he promised, you really are a fucking idiot.
Steven Reichert If you think Obama did a good job, I’d say you either weren’t paying attention, are engaging in cognitive dissonance, lack critical thinking skills, or are benefiting from a completely corrupt status quo. Period.
Damn, how far we have fallen.
@Doc Vega Every president from Washington to Trump is criminal they are called TERRORIST IN CHIEF.
@Doc Vega Why was he the worst?
@Doc Vega Take off the tin foil hat and get laid my man.
@Doc Vega
How very very far have we FALLEN
We have FALLEN
Well said , both of you.I am loving this. Totally inspired. Thank you for your service
Man how good it feels to see a real leader
My darling grandmother said: when I hear the voice, I know what I'm dealing with". President Obama clearly represents calm, thoughtfulness and honesty.
Miss him.
He was Bush 2.0.
Yes he is so honest and thoughtful as he rained terror down on people with preditor drones in a whole bunch of different country's. He even eloquently joked about it
Unbelievable how many uneducated haters there are out there. They live in their own little hate filled worlds and believe what they
@Doc Vega OMG shut up. Next time you wanna give an opinion or attack someone, do it civilly and with composer. Obama never treated people the way you do so stop attacking him when you are way worse
I miss having an intelligent, patient, classy and flexible President, God help us....
Don't worry Trump is doing historic numbers. You may not like him but who cares! Enjoy your tax breaks low cost of fuel historic low unemployment and soaring wages. Best part is if you are African American or Asian you are doing better than any other time in history. He will be reelected so don't worry. Be happy!
At the end of the interview, literally everything Obama stated was on the line turned out to be truly on the line, as Donald Trump has attacked each and every one of those vital policies and agreements. Everyone who believes in a righteous democracy needs to get out there and vote this November, or this country will be forever changed. I still have faith in America.
watching this in 2022 really hits different
