Every once in a while I come back to this video so I can find some grace.
Sames. This is timeless.
I'm not American nor religious, but THIS is what a President should be like. What a beautiful person.
We could really use someone like this right now.
Even more now.
@Z Z gross
@Z Z ok boomer
@Z Z you tried.
Yes, I agree.
You cant teach that. The ability to bring an entire room together with just your words.
Oh look! A president with a soul!
I come here several times a year to gain hope for the future in America. Most recently now, July 13th, 2024. May we find some of the grace exhibited here.
The look on The bald brother with the shades face when President Obama began to sing is just everything!
I need that cropped as a reaction gif
He was praying for that moment!
He's the bandleader of the moment. First to rise, and everyone followed. Also, he did a magick trick with those shades. Where'd they go?
@@TheCyberianWonder LOL
@Zoran Petric indeed
I'm not religious as such, but I could watch this all day. What a guy. America, you were so lucky to have this man in your number. Gives me hope in these dark times.
Now that is a president 🙏
He spontaneously sang Amazing Grace like a real man in front of live cameras and a global audience!
He sang that at the funeral for shooting victims, note the difference between him and the village idiot in the whitehouse now who played the victim blame game saying how the synagogue that was shot up by one of his crazy supporters shoulda had ARMED GUARDS at the door!
Not quite spontaneous... needed a bit of a nudge and was nervous. But awesome.
The problem is, it's too late by the time a funeral for a shooting is being held, an armed guard could have stopped a shooting
Victorian Sculptures Nothing has changed with the village idiot today after a combined total of 31 people lost their lives in two separate mass shootings this weekend in Texas and Ohio. He did, however, attempt to read from a teleprompter this morning, a speech that wasn't his, condemning racism, racist rhetoric, white supremacy...but clearly his heart wasn't in it.
That was anything but not spontaneously.
@@remusdan3689 It certanily was, what other president have you seen give a speech and then start singing? even the clergy sitting behind him were obviously surprised and you can see it how they react; right here you can see the reaction of the seated man on the left the moment Obama sings the first note;

I love this man more than any thing I've ever heard of.
I remember this like it was yesterday. Cant believe its been 5 crazy years.
Favorite president Obama #44
Who’s with me in 2020 reminiscing what true leadership is like? 🙌🏾
Too true my friend.
Man knows how to give a speech...
Man knows how to touch your heart.
Contrasting this with Trump is so disconcerting and brings me to grieve. How far we have fallen. I take from this eulogy hope that we could have another compassionate and competent leader whether he be Republican or Democrat. Please vote Trump out of office in November.
we did it 💓
I was there when he sung that I live there
I hope it brought comfort to the mourners, what a leader!
It had to have made the mourners feel hope.
@@salesshit feeling like no other when the leader of America tells you how to feel
Tears in my eyes...God I miss you Mr. President!
Obama, the man of swag, the world will miss you.
A Man of swag and sincerity
@@gwenrenee8641 would have loved to see the Donald doing that!
Now, that is very cool indeed.
Needed an inspirational moment from a real leader during the COVID debacle. Miss ya Obama!
@777 Trump Trump MAGA
God, do I miss him!
Detox Holmes ur kidding...
Everyday my friend.
I miss him and I'm not American. He was a statesman worthy of admiration.
I'm in Puerto Rico but I miss him God bless his soul
I'm so sorry that President Trump betrayed your country. President Obama would have done so much more to rebuild your beautiful island. We can only hope for a new president in 2020 so our countries would be united again. God bless the good people of Puerto Rico.
My president!!
I heard the complete ceremony on the Rachel Maddow news 'Speachless' was all I could write. Today ,just healing 'amazing grace' And this time I can add AMERICA you have the finest President you've had since F. Roosevelt
After watching the Netflix documentary ‘Amend’ and reflection on the Christian message of grace I think I understand the complexity of what President Obama was saying. I felt moved to know more, to remember, and vote for Justice. Thank you for posting xx
What can ya say about a guy like that . I miss good. I miss normal. I miss smart I miss integrity . I miss him.
Can't get enough of this!!!
What an amazing man! A man with love and compassion
2023 and I had to hear this again. Thank you, Mr. President you give us hope.
Well done, Sir. Genuine and perfect.
Oh dear God I love this man.
watching this always puts a smile to my face
GOD THE COUNTRY NEEDS HIM RIGHT NOW
America got very polarized under him and race relations arguably got worse. Not blaming him but he was President.
@@lumpyloks Now more than ever
@@lumpyloks President Obama showed everyone around the world just how racist the US really was. All the idiots attacking him just cause of his skin color... it was sickening.
@@lumpyloks The United States of America has always had 'bad race relations' beginning with the first ship which landed on this soil and pushed Native Americans to the west. There is a difference between 'getting worse' and being a topic which can't be ignored any more.
Barack Obama has such a memorable swagger
Good voice for someone who doesnt sing
May the US find *grace once again* in November 2020... 🇺🇸 *BIDEN 2020*
@777 you’re the biggest clown I’ve ever seen on the internet. Brainwashed racist
He's president
Well look at that...777 deleted their ignorant comment.
I needed to see this again. I miss you so much.
This is what we called a president
I miss this man so much. He was a true leader and had his flaws just like anyone else but he was genuine. Unlike the man child we have now.
What a man and a great President
Come back Barack
Tears in my eyes!!!! Miss you bro
THIS is my president
I just wanted to cry a little today. So I watched this.
Marcus Aurelius me too 😞
Ohhhhh Marcus, did you jus say that, we miss him too here in Kenya
I have goosebumps.
Found that GRACE💯
I cried at this moment. I couldn't be prouder of President Obama
We need this! right now.
I love this incredibly beautiful human being.❤️
So beautiful mr president 💖😻💖 so beautiful Sir
God I miss this man
Tune up then, President Obama!!!
Amazing grace
awesome thank you
I need this 😭 Almost at 100,000 Covid deaths in this nation. Rest peacefully.
Totally miss an educated President with grace and dignity.
What an amazing man!!
I didn’t always agree with Obama but definitely our coolest president.
i must cry when i think about who is president today!
I miss the Obamas in the White House so much😭😢
am crying right now
This was so beautiful.
In preparation for the event the president told his advisors, I think I am going to sing Amazing Grace. His advisors, with the best of intentions, warned him not to do it. Well, he was a little flat and off key but when the organ joined in and the people stood to sing with him, amazing grace was found.
Such an inspiration to me. We could use a few million more like him.
Nothing like Amazing Grace.
God bless!!!!
amazing president
The President of USA
Got everybody bruh
How I miss Obama, the greatest world leader of all time.
Brave and beautiful.
How class and humility was unlike any President. You might not have agreed with some of his policies, but all he wanted was a safer, better America for all of our children.
an amazing human being!!!!
I miss your presence Mr. President Obama.
We need more of this!
Amazing President!! I miss him so!
Powerful stuff.
Amazing President; Leader of the free world.
We went from the BEST president (Obama) to the WORST president (Trump).
I miss Obama
Im crying!!!!! I miss him so much
I'm in Spain and I miss him. The whole world misses him (except Bolsonaro, Erdowan and the like). You can't be president again Barack but please don't go away (has Michelle got anything on her plate for the next decade or so?)
When the president preaches...Thank you Lord
1:20 This section of the song was featured in Kaleidoscope by Coldplay.
VOTE!
I'm so glad it was that man who ended up being the first black president of the United States. We all moved forward because of it. It would've been an entirely different story if the first black president ended up being someone like Trump.
My skin turned black and my hair curly when i heard obama sing this . Felt it in my heart
🙌🏽
Forgot he was President and began preaching!❤❤❤
A president with Amazing Grace.
Not enough views
