@@bossman7302 , IT S A LIE BECAUSE HE HAD THE CONGRESS AND THE HOUSE FOR HIMSELF FOR 2 YEARS BUT CHOSE NOT TO DO ANYTHING FOR MINORITIES ESPECIALLY FOR BLACK PEOPLE !!
Boss Man please educate me man, I want to learn. I just wonder why he legalized gay marriage and tried to push it on Africans and helped immigrants succeed over Blacks in the USA
@love layne , of course he was " GREAT " , he bombed 7 countries ( Somalia, Afganistan, Pakistan, Irak, Iran, Yemen, Syria..) he even bombed an hospital in Afganistan that killed 42 people with DRONES of course the media covered his action to " protect " his image from the public, he left 8 Milions people on food stamps and a lot of Black people got killed shot dead by the police under his presidency, he also put the country in so much debts when he left....Appart from that...He was a GREAT president , indeed .
Keenan Thomas many people (white and black) voted for him because he was black such as the two girls in 0:44 and 0:57 and two white males in 1:15 and 1:18, I know this doesn't factor for the amount of Americans but it proves that white people voted for him, but it's a small comparison, if I'm wrong prove it and back it up with data, but the only thing I remember Obama doing was "Obamacare" which he pulled about 700 billion out of "medicalcare" with my source townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2014/08/09/50-things-barack-obama-has-done-wrong-n1876744 and many aother bad things he's done. He claimed did end the war in "Iraq" which I'm not even sure he did and I think started 3 more. He killed "bin laden" which to be fair any president would do that. I would support trump because trump listed many things he would do and has done many things so far which most presidents say one or two things, for example one thing I do remember out of Hillary was "stronger economy" and apparently Hillary Clinton has some part in the CNN. Going off topic, back to the question "is Obama a good president" in my opinion no, in yours, maybe. If you support him, prove he was a good president. FYI When you google Obama you get the "the first African American president" after the info of 44th president. I still believe he was a bad president, he really tried to end gun crimes but congress doesn't do anything I respect him but someone like trump takes responsibility and will sack anyone who he thinks is doing a terrible job. Obama tries to be fair but sometimes that's not good enough. Obama tries, Trump does it btw my views could be changed by news, friends, parents, media, and internet. I'm not a citizen of America so I may be ignorant on this but this is based of what I know (I'm from U.K Northern Ireland) I could be wrong, but this is what I believe. I would personally like him but from a leaders stand point he was a bit weak.
@@stanleymacauley6853 Im not going to lie i havent researched any stats or what not, but what convinced you Trump "does" what he promised? Because youre saying this but ive watched plenty of credible news channels which have proven how much Trump lies. Its been proven how indecent of a human being trump is and how bad his personality is based off countless examples hes shown to be. Also you say that people voted for obama because he is black but you dont acknowledge the possibility that a lot of trump voters voted for him for the sake of the fact that he empowers their extremely and I emphasise EXTREMELY ignorant views. Ive been convinced of this by the listening to the countless trump supporters and hearing them spew nothing but ignorance. Take Fox news for example, things they bashed obama for during his run are things that they praise trump for (cant give u a specific example, but ive watched a lot of videos with proof of this just dont remember off the top of my head). Im not someone who think Trump is a trash president, i think the way he carries himself is extremely unprofessional and has no place in the whitehouse but i can agree to some of his policies such as the idea of people should only enter legally and that a wall would in fact prevent people from just walking in. Btw im from the UK too.
I loved obama a lot, I don’t care about his race just what he believes in. Judging someone on race or religion is like brand loyalty. You randomly support/hate things you never even seen before.
It's a black president Huey Freeman yep that's one of the greatest things ever made. They take Uncle ruckus bricks. Huey is an outcast because he's not excited about a black president yeah that's pretty funny. But Obama was not a good President Obama was not a bad president. He was too inexperienced but he also had the unenviable task of following up George W bush who was the worst president ever. However I think Obama made things worse but a weaker president could have made things much worse at least he got us back on the right track to a point
Those 2 girls reaction & words at the beginning are the exact reason Obama was allowed in the presidency... she actually said “we are more united now” she actually believed something was going to happen
The video doesn't answer the question tho. They just interviewed people of their opinion but where is the fact that he is good or bad president of usa?
Well it’s all opinions, we can’t be for sure. It’s like saying somebody is ugly. Well, they are and they aren’t. You can’t be so sure because people will say something different. So I guess the answer would be yes, and no.

Obama reminds me of songs that become popular because they get played a lot. You hear it more and more and it starts to grow on you and suddenly years later you hear it again and think "how did I ever like that song?"
@@firefx99 I think too many people expected Obama to change the world, like he pulled a Skadoosh in Kung Fu Panda, and a wave of unity would rush over America. The reality was that the GOP fucked him over chance he had. One thing that pissed me off was that Obama didn’t help bring jobs back into Michigan, where I’m from. The GM factories there shut down and thousands of people lost their jobs to Chinese workers at Foxconn or wherever they make their garbage cars now.
No matter who is President, people will always complain and be disappointed if things don't turn out the way they want it, and there will never be a time where everyone wants the same thing...
Yes, humans are doing this for thousands of years, that's why we have so many religious, cult.... Etc We want to believe in something, but the reality is harsh and sad, and the truth doesn't matter, never!
It's a little funny when a woman says "I wish that my "black" president would have have spoken more to "black" people. I always thought he was the President of the United States of America. I never realize that some people only voted for him or supported him so that he will be the president of "black americans". Kinda racist, don't you think?
@@devontepahulu6381 if im overdoing things or overthinking, whatever you wanna call it. Then you're not thinking enough! You wanna comment cause you want your thoughts to be heard. But your thoughts are....well you know what you are.
*Bad things that happened in Obamas 8 years* "Oh that's because of Bush" *Good things that are happening now* "Oh that's because of Obama" See what I mean
Yes I do. One thing I ask us how did Obama manage to make mainstream media and so many people ignore his flaws like those of Benghazi and others? How could they be so biased.
Because once a president first gets in they don’t have enough time to impact the economy if Trump is in there for another 4 years we will see how the economy is really doing
Trump :bad things, well Obama did that. Good things we'll I did that. "lowest unemployment" sure. Also best phones fastest cars. All because of the past work done by others
Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.

He had to deal with what president bush put America threw 7 wars the Greta Recession and 2 pandemics. The end of his presidency the economy was going up. Obama had a terrible hand the recession was the worst economic crash since the Great Depression.
@@No-qu4ro the Great Recession was already ending before Obama took the oath of office and would’ve been over quickly if Obama did nothing. Instead he created the slowest economic growth since World War 2 and a stagnated economy when he left office. Bush also didn’t give Obama any pandemics. The pandemics didn’t happen until after Obama was in office for over two years, and he did nothing.
If you call destroying 40 years of racial reconciliation in a few short years an accomplishment. I don’t. He failed at everything he claims to have done. A complete liar
While both equally valid, what the second interviewee said gives me hope for our generation. She was so on-point with how Obama couldn't just be the black people's president, but all the Americans' president; a show of consideration for the circumstances of presidency, and how she hopes history will judge him fairly. This is the kind of understanding and the ability to see the big picture that is going to better our world from now on.
So how come more was done for other communities and nothing was done for us and don’t mention Obamacare because it fucked us up more than welfare? Was there pressure on Bush?
3:08 I strongly disagree with this young lady... Our community needs actions not talk... Just because Obama doesn't go around tweeting his every effort toward African Americans doesn't mean he isn’t doing it.
“you didn’t build that” speech bugged me a lot. As a business owner giving jobs to 40 people, I had the President of the US telling me “you didn’t build that” . Worst ever.
Because you didn't ..He was referring to the roads, bridges, and highways ALREADY in place that GREATLY benefits businesses- basically for FREE . Could you still be able to "give" jobs to 40 people if there were no roads? Also the MARKET created jobs for forty people not you . If there were no need for a job it wouldn't exist...but if there is a need for something--then SOMEONE WILL fill that gap. You were just blessed enough to be the one given the opportunity. So forty people gave you their time; and in return you gave them a small cut of your profits. Did you not NEED the forty people you "gave" jobs to? You needed them and they needed you . Who got the bigger blessing out of the deal? To whom MUCH is GIVEN much is REQUIRED. Luke 12 : 48
Yes he was an excellent speaker. But he accomplished nothing. He did I don't know he did clean up some George W Bush's mess because he was the worst president ever and Obama had to follow him up so you have to take that into consideration
Aaron Bradley the reason he failed to accomplish much is because the Republicans in Congress blocked everything he tried to do. He did accomplish a lot before that though. Affordable Care Act, Common Core. I hate the common core but he tried to fix the healthcare and education situation Bush put us in.
@@lonebattledroid4474 Yeah, I'm not denying that the Democrats spiked Trump with the Mueller investigation and impeachment inquiry. He complains about it but both parties do it to each other. It was completely ridiculous when the Republicans created that congress block and then said he did nothing all 8 years.
@@lonebattledroid4474 Makes sense. I just agree with Democratic causes more than Republican causes, and I like Democratic politicians today more than Republican politicians today. I can't stand Trump, I agree with Biden on a lot of things.
As an American speaking here, he was extremely bad. His first term was okay. . .like. . .not great but passable. I think if we stopped there, we could look back and think he was a decent president. But his second term was extremely destructive to the culture of the country. We got way more marxist, way more anti-white, way more anti-police, and "woke" thinking begun to really take root super strongly. He steadily set up things and used a lot of hateful rhetoric to make that happen. He also saddled us with a ton of national debt while pretending he was fixing the economy. . .he was actually only making it worse because he doubled our national debt and made it so we had to spend more than the amount we spend on our military and our bloated, overly expensive healthcare system on just paying off interest. Oh, and he made our healthcare system cost even more. He also expanded government power massively which is proving hard to get rid of. Almost everything he did in his 2nd term was really bad. We now have extreme racism back in the country (mostly towards just whites), when racism in general was almost completely gone before he became president. So, I blamer Obama entirely for bringing racism back and for our crime spikes due to his anti-police rhetoric.
Yeah, too many people wanted a black or woman president (2008/2012/2016) and didn't stop to think about the quality of the president. To be fair it was hard to tell what a president would do the first time. And like you said Obamas first term was passable so it wouldn't be hard for him to win again.
@@Nina-cv8ko And then you wonder why America is so divided. “Let’s not show the other side and censor their ideas because my side good their side bad”. It’s tribalist nonsense. Of course you think the other side is bad, you’ve probably never heard them outside of strawmen and political grifters online who purposefully misrepresent conservatives.
These people feel the way they feel because of what they have been taught growing up, in probably every aspect. From the hope they had when Obama was elected to fearing for your life when a police officer stops you. A lot of people are brainwashed. That first girl is sad because she truly believes what she is saying, and the second is really just lost

@@alar1en991 He did not support the American way and worked hard to divide the white/black population. He stirred hatred. His wife was horrible, and his kids were crack heads. A poor example of what a leader should be.
All I know is that the man gave me a job, didnt harm me physically and mentally to my surprised Donald Trump did the complete opposite. Obama is really smart and the way he talks is phenomenal.
That's ODD I voted for Obama twice and Trump I found Obama to be dividing in his last Term and I noticed CNN playing on that. Is when I began my search for Truth and led me down the road of Republican
Ron Gracie Exactly that. U don’t know because he barely did anything. He was articulate, charming and a very good speaker but when it comes to presidential tasks he was fairly average with the exception of the gay marriage thing and a few others. 8 years and not very much to show for it. I’m black British by the way.
I voted for Obama both times as a mixed person but I was very disappointed by the second term. My mother wouldn't even vote for him the second time. He did some things I agreed with but at the same time managed to divide this country in a dangerous way, get more cops shot ambush style than ever & never really doing anything to make race treatment better. Many blacks think that it's race when you get pulled over. My son is very white looking and used to get pulled over all the time too. We all get pulled over, but more blacks act a fool over it & get shot. Do I think that Obama was set up by the Democrats? yes I believe he helped them establish this dangerous "deep state" where there is much corruption and it needs to stop. I see so many in politics getting filthy rich in a manner there is no way you could "honestly" have earned it or deserve it. I see these same rich people making the rest of us poorer & now want to talk us into "socialism?" Yes, so we will all be their peasants again. Not gonna happen.
@@PoGirlShines maybe you just don’t live in area where it’s more predominant… I just don’t think you can speak for the entire black community in this matter. If you’re black and you really think there ISNT a problem, good for you and guess you just grew up different

You are so clueless about the actual meaning of the majority of the words you just typed. It’s frankly amazing that an actual human can say this unironically.
Between the Tea Party and a Senate majority leader who says their only girl was to make him a one term president... It's amazing he got ANYTHING accomplished.
Keep in mind Obama had full control of the Congress for the first two years of his administration, and full control of the senate for his first term. What really amazed me is that he spent far more time demonizing anyone who disagreed with him then actually trying to unite the country.
@@warrenrhinerson6373 yeah, the only problem was that conservative democrats held him up in the senate, even though he had the 60 to override the filibuster so he had to concede to them to get stuff through the senate, and even if a member called them self's a democrat they wont always vote with the party and that was his problem with congress. and the fact that republicans did everything they could to stop him and make everything he tried to do fail.
@@MackOswald not really while there were conservative democrats in the senate, the vast majority of them fell in line 90% of the time. There were things Obama constantly talked about wanting to do but never even tried in his first two years, like gun control. The opposition party always does what they can to stop the president. Democrats did the exact same thing to Trump Bush and Reagan.
I love how at the end of the video where the narrator says “ could he have done more? Should have he done more ? He certainly did more for the Iranians and the big banks ( more than any other president in history ) than for black people. It’s too bad so many of them let their own racism blind them to the facts.
He actually did a ton for black people. Most black people got jobs under him, thanks to Obama. Unemployment dropped at record amounts. More in his first term than Trumps first and last term.
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 thats not true, under Trump before the Coronavirus lockdowns which desiccated the economy. Trump had the lowest black and hispanic unemployment rates in history. That's a fact!
@@tylermarshall5350 Except those 3 yr low unemployment under Trump wasn't built by Trump, he Inherited them from obama. Obama inherited a near double digit unemployment rate from Bush, the economy was in absolutely freefall when he got to power & we were about to go into a depression. Obama from that point brought America back & left Trump a very respectable 4.8% unemployment. On which Trump built on first 3 yr. Even then he did worse, Trump's first 3 yr before covid created 1.5 million less jobs before Obama's last 3 yr. Job growth slowed down under Trump. Trump is in fact the only president since Hoover to have a negative job growth rate during their presidency.
The mainstream media really gave Obama a complete pass for the last 8 years and continue to do so... he came into this presidency very little experience and no foreign policy experience, I think he did the best he could with what he had
nope, even with a comfortable majority fumbled to oppose any republican legislature and make any progress for social policies and also drone striked the middle East into a big car park. Dude sucked
He had a lot more style than substance. I think that a lot of people had greater expectations than he could ever get to meet. Therefore his presidency was a huge disappointment to many and in some cases a created greater racial tensions which exploded when the Democrats failed to get Hilary elected.
It was amazing to hear the 2 very different perspectives. One felt like there wasn't enough done, the other that felt Obama was set out to do the impossible which led to his disappointment by the public.
3rd perspective is that he was a great president in the sense of maintaining the structure and growth. But he ran on a message of change and anti war and then had his cabinet hand picked by a bank and launched so many drone strikes that children over there are forever afraid of clear skies and sunny days.
@@Bell_plejdo568p economically wise no, in terms of the American people no, what happened with the drone strikes was horrible but we were at war and Trump kept it going Bush started it when the troops were poorly pulled out of Afghanistan everyone was mad but at the same time those same people complaining about the pull out were also complaining about the drone strikes people pick and choose to much they follow what their party thinks not what they think and you can’t have it all especially if your not in control of your own opinion
Absolutely. I just wrote an extensive piece about my feelings towards President Obama because of all of the good he’s done in his 8 years in office. As someone born and raised in Hawai’i, I’ve been extremely proud of his accomplishments. 😁
Brian Leach black people could have been president before !! The literally majority of America has to vote for the president so the majority of America is not racist and could have always been president That’s why I don’t get when people say America is filled with racism but how did the same America that Voted for Trump Vote for Obama too?
No,Obama promised a big change ,the change came but not for the Hispanic or the black families .The change came for themselves they got rich and we got poor ,Obama was the worst president ever and his VP even worse we’ve ever had. We were so disappointed with Obama.

The video's title asks "Was Obama a Good President?" Right now, you'll only get probably four separate answers and all of them will be biased in one way or another. Some Democrats will answer "Yes". Some Democrats will answer "No. He was GREAT President." Some Moderate Republicans will answer "Yes". Most Republicans will answer "No." This question can't be asked for decades. There is no way to answer it objectively right now. You need to be dispassionate. You'll never get a meaningful consensus.
He would never lose an election. As horrible a president as he was, he will never lose an election. The media was on his side, and he was a likable guy. But his policies and the things he did were HORRIBLE for this country.
The reaction from the media/celebs was embarrassing and the borderline sychophantic behaviour when he was first elected always appeared a bit naive to me. History has indicated my initial distrust was well founded.

Keenan Thomas A large majority of people voted for him because he was black. Completely unaware of politics
Keenan Thomas I’m aware of that. But also many whites and Hispanics voted for him too. The Democrats plan actually worked
Ironically he was good.
Keenan Thomas many people (white and black) voted for him because he was black such as the two girls in 0:44 and 0:57 and two white males in 1:15 and 1:18, I know this doesn't factor for the amount of Americans but it proves that white people voted for him, but it's a small comparison, if I'm wrong prove it and back it up with data, but the only thing I remember Obama doing was "Obamacare" which he pulled about 700 billion out of "medicalcare" with my source townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2014/08/09/50-things-barack-obama-has-done-wrong-n1876744 and many aother bad things he's done. He claimed did end the war in "Iraq" which I'm not even sure he did and I think started 3 more. He killed "bin laden" which to be fair any president would do that. I would support trump because trump listed many things he would do and has done many things so far which most presidents say one or two things, for example one thing I do remember out of Hillary was "stronger economy" and apparently Hillary Clinton has some part in the CNN. Going off topic, back to the question "is Obama a good president" in my opinion no, in yours, maybe. If you support him, prove he was a good president. FYI When you google Obama you get the "the first African American president" after the info of 44th president. I still believe he was a bad president, he really tried to end gun crimes but congress doesn't do anything I respect him but someone like trump takes responsibility and will sack anyone who he thinks is doing a terrible job. Obama tries to be fair but sometimes that's not good enough.
Obama tries, Trump does it
btw my views could be changed by news, friends, parents, media, and internet. I'm not a citizen of America so I may be ignorant on this but this is based of what I know (I'm from U.K Northern Ireland) I could be wrong, but this is what I believe.

Because youre saying this but ive watched plenty of credible news channels which have proven how much Trump lies. Its been proven how indecent of a human being trump is and how bad his personality is based off countless examples hes shown to be. Also you say that people voted for obama because he is black but you dont acknowledge the possibility that a lot of trump voters voted for him for the sake of the fact that he empowers their extremely and I emphasise EXTREMELY ignorant views. Ive been convinced of this by the listening to the countless trump supporters and hearing them spew nothing but ignorance. Take Fox news for example, things they bashed obama for during his run are things that they praise trump for (cant give u a specific example, but ive watched a lot of videos with proof of this just dont remember off the top of my head). Im not someone who think Trump is a trash president, i think the way he carries himself is extremely unprofessional and has no place in the whitehouse but i can agree to some of his policies such as the idea of people should only enter legally and that a wall would in fact prevent people from just walking in. Btw im from the UK too.

It's a black president Huey Freeman yep that's one of the greatest things ever made. They take Uncle ruckus bricks. Huey is an outcast because he's not excited about a black president yeah that's pretty funny. But Obama was not a good President Obama was not a bad president.

As an American speaking here, he was extremely bad. His first term was okay. . .like. . .not great but passable. I think if we stopped there, we could look back and think he was a decent president. But his second term was extremely destructive to the culture of the country. We got way more marxist, way more anti-white, way more anti-police, and "woke" thinking begun to really take root super strongly. He steadily set up things and used a lot of hateful rhetoric to make that happen.
He also saddled us with a ton of national debt while pretending he was fixing the economy. . .he was actually only making it worse because he doubled our national debt and made it so we had to spend more than the amount we spend on our military and our bloated, overly expensive healthcare system on just paying off interest. Oh, and he made our healthcare system cost even more. He also expanded government power massively which is proving hard to get rid of. Almost everything he did in his 2nd term was really bad. We now have extreme racism back in the country (mostly towards just whites), when racism in general was almost completely gone before he became president. So, I blamer Obama entirely for bringing racism back and for our crime spikes due to his anti-police rhetoric.
Yeah, too many people wanted a black or woman president (2008/2012/2016) and didn't stop to think about the quality of the president.

@@MackOswald not really while there were conservative democrats in the senate, the vast majority of them fell in line 90% of the time.

Democrats did the exact same thing to Trump Bush and Reagan.
I love how at the end of the video where the narrator says “ could he have done more? Should have he done more ? He certainly did more for the Iranians and the big banks ( more than any other president in history ) than for black people. It’s too bad so many of them let their own racism blind them to the facts.
He actually did a ton for black people. Most black people got jobs under him, thanks to Obama. Unemployment dropped at record amounts. More in his first term than Trumps first and last term.
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 thats not true, under Trump before the Coronavirus lockdowns which desiccated the economy. Trump had the lowest black and hispanic unemployment rates in history. That's a fact!
@@tylermarshall5350 Trump is king, yo
@@tylermarshall5350
Except those 3 yr low unemployment under Trump wasn't built by Trump, he Inherited them from obama. Obama inherited a near double digit unemployment rate from Bush, the economy was in absolutely freefall when he got to power & we were about to go into a depression. Obama from that point brought America back & left Trump a very respectable 4.8% unemployment. On which Trump built on first 3 yr. Even then he did worse, Trump's first 3 yr before covid created 1.5 million less jobs before Obama's last 3 yr. Job growth slowed down under Trump.
Trump is in fact the only president since Hoover to have a negative job growth rate during their presidency.
The mainstream media really gave Obama a complete pass for the last 8 years and continue to do so... he came into this presidency very little experience and no foreign policy experience, I think he did the best he could with what he had
nope, even with a comfortable majority fumbled to oppose any republican legislature and make any progress for social policies and also drone striked the middle East into a big car park. Dude sucked
He had a lot more style than substance. I think that a lot of people had greater expectations than he could ever get to meet. Therefore his presidency was a huge disappointment to many and in some cases a created greater racial tensions which exploded when the Democrats failed to get Hilary elected.
I’d argue he made a lot of great small changes but outside Obama care nothing major
He's definitely not as good as Joe Biden.
@@wildestcowboy2668 Biden is definitely out there on his own.
@@guyplessier7935 Biden is going to win again and then he will get everything fixed.
What did he do besides apologize needlessly to the entire world and put men in womens restrooms?
this is a perfect example of how different situations and events can effect a person
It was amazing to hear the 2 very different perspectives. One felt like there wasn't enough done, the other that felt Obama was set out to do the impossible which led to his disappointment by the public.
3rd perspective is that he was a great president in the sense of maintaining the structure and growth. But he ran on a message of change and anti war and then had his cabinet hand picked by a bank and launched so many drone strikes that children over there are forever afraid of clear skies and sunny days.
@@grant1430no he was horrible
@@Bell_plejdo568p economically wise no, in terms of the American people no, what happened with the drone strikes was horrible but we were at war and Trump kept it going Bush started it when the troops were poorly pulled out of Afghanistan everyone was mad but at the same time those same people complaining about the pull out were also complaining about the drone strikes people pick and choose to much they follow what their party thinks not what they think and you can’t have it all especially if your not in control of your own opinion
That second girl has a great outlook...I loved that she said he was everyone’s president.
And he was the fact that he was black means that black people can become President now
Absolutely. I just wrote an extensive piece about my feelings towards President Obama because of all of the good he’s done in his 8 years in office. As someone born and raised in Hawai’i, I’ve been extremely proud of his accomplishments. 😁
Brian Leach black people could have been president before !!
The literally majority of America has to vote for the president so the majority of America is not racist and could have always been president
That’s why I don’t get when people say America is filled with racism but how did the same America that Voted for Trump
Vote for Obama too?
Sean Shimamoto .. what? Building cages and camps for citizens? Eow
ToWankIsVeryDank We’re NOT talking about Trump...why are you bringing up his “accomplishments”?
Why so happy he's done nothing for you at all
NO HE WASNT !!!!! GO TRUMP
No,Obama promised a big change ,the change came but not for the Hispanic or the black families .The change came for themselves they got rich and we got poor ,Obama was the worst president ever and his VP even worse we’ve ever had. We were so disappointed with Obama.
Some ones got a victim complex
Victims are the only Obama gave Americans! When you're a victim, he's more powerful! Don't give him or anyone else, that kind of power over you!
@@jennell82 That doesn't make sense, if I was a victim, he would be thrown out of office. Yet Trump made rape victims out of his own employees.
Don't marginalize the reality that race issues are causing people to suffer on both sides of the isles; whites, and blacks.
@@samcarter2371 to be fair less for whites more for blacks
Yes, in you are a minority of welfare & foodstamps,
Obama could talk the talk
But not walk the walk...
0:54 “America is More *United*.”
That didn’t age well 😕
Obama's presidency caused all the racial division
all these people trash talking while having no profile pictures smh
but alot of them gave a point so.
Your profile picture is a cartoon.
@@kcmaldonado3948 nice, and your point is?
@@Ryfried You were calling out people for not having a profile picture.
@@kcmaldonado3948 yeah I did, thanks for pointing that out.
Obama didn’t take care of his own! Sad!
He tried his best for America. What's sad?
Obama was surprisingly divisive. His presidency was wonderfully symbolic, but sadly didn't live up to hopes and expectations.
why didn't obama talk about black culture being a problem?
Self confidence comes from within . You cannot receive this gift from others because it is the perception of yourself . Being who you truly are be it nice or nasty reflects everything
Obama was a master of words, he's speeches are amazing.
anyones speeches r amazing if u hear what u want to hear
I like this sort of reporting. It's not afraid to be opinionated, despite how polarized we've been.
Yup, objective not subjective
In a word, NO! All you have to do is look how Chicago is now.
"America is more united, We did it!"
Heh
hehe
heheheheheheheeHahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
1:18 I see Snowden was happy, little did Obama know....
This is the worst mistake Obama has ever made. He essentially tortured a man (& many others) who exposed the government for spying on us.
@@Mii.2.0 I'm sorry, but you really need to get your facts together. Snowden was leaking information to foreign countries (enemies included), which is literally the definition of treason and illegal because of the job he had.
Why would you ask that question when you already know.. we did get a Obama phone
Right? The idea was first introduced during FDR's presidency and then reintroduced during the Reagan era. Knowledge is a wonderful thing.
He was good with pushing racism and not showing it.
I agree with this young lady. If Obama would only go back to Chicago and fix the city. I would be satisfied with that. He completely failed the people that elected him. He left and never looked back. His starting point.
He brought us out of a depression republicans never have
@@brittmarchbanks4432he started that depression.
I love the style of this documentary. I like that they included both sides. Even though obama was terrible.
@Ryan Kim lol

@@troypowers750 dont tell the republicans that it doesnt support their narravtive
Why am i watching this im not even american
The video's title asks "Was Obama a Good President?" Right now, you'll only get probably four separate answers and all of them will be biased in one way or another.
Some Democrats will answer "Yes".
Some Democrats will answer "No. He was GREAT President."
Some Moderate Republicans will answer "Yes".
Most Republicans will answer "No."
This question can't be asked for decades. There is no way to answer it objectively right now. You need to be dispassionate. You'll never get a meaningful consensus.
How did he get 2 terms if they weren’t ready for him 🤔🤦🏽♀️
He would never lose an election. As horrible a president as he was, he will never lose an election. The media was on his side, and he was a likable guy. But his policies and the things he did were HORRIBLE for this country.
To many STUPID people!
mass voter fraud!
Voting machines tampering!
Indoctrination!
I am not even from US and why the F am I crying
Because Obama isnt the President anymore. BRING THE BLACK PRESIDENT BACK!!
This isn’t true at all! It’s the fact that the news couldn’t handle trump that changed me to liking trump!
The reaction from the media/celebs was embarrassing and the borderline sychophantic behaviour when he was first elected always appeared a bit naive to me. History has indicated my initial distrust was well founded.
The "Hope and Change" Obama gave us ebded up as a "hope we survive this idiots administration so we can see a change for the better"
Michael Rheinstrom ahaha crazy how that statement aged over 6 months
I would like to know what he did for the benefit and improvement of our country. I honestly cannot recall anything.
