National Geographic: The Obama White House Through The Lens [1/4]

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2011
- Pete Souza is never far behind President Obama. In fact, sometimes he's ahead of him. As the President's chief White House photographer, Souza is the President's shadow. Now, National Geographic will follow Souza inside the Obama White House -- aboard Air Force One, backstage at the State of the Union, and into the heart of the West Wing. It's a behind-the-scenes look at the everyday grit of the American presidency and a chance to see what it's like to cover the most powerful man in the world, for posterity.

I'm so glad I was alive during the Obama presidency. No politician has ever made me get involved in politics. I wish it never had to end.
He was the 1st president I ever voted for. 🙌the 2nd president I voted for. The last president I voted for. 😞
ditto ditto ditto :)
Love this man and his family. Such class and dignity. Beautiful people. Miss him so much.
When the role of being a president was dignified and admired.
Watching Obama makes me not only want to be a better American but a better person.i tell my kids they can study
and be like obama or play video games and be like trump. They study 3 to 4 hours a day. Even on weekends. Especially to broaden their basic knowledge. Forget restriction. The threat of ending up dumb is enough to scare them into studying
Miss this family so much!
@@counterstrike8840 trumptard tou sound like a parrot uneducated American you believed trump will get Mexico to pay forlm lazy coward wall. Hows the coalminevrevolution. GDP. You mean the 779 billion deficit? You watching faux news or do you just love your evangelical oussy grabbing wife cheating jesus christ?
Truly an amazing intelligent, well spoken and charming President. He was a family man and listened to those around him. No wonder he got re-elected.
jf76 yeah he is a live example that Trump can also and will also get re-elected.
What a great man. Great looks, kind, smart , loving to his family. A wonderful human being. It was great watching you every day seeing a man who was considerate of others. Love you soo much Mr president. You and michelle are good people and you are missed intenselly.
President Obama and Mrs. Obama made me feel hope in myself and others.
YIKES !!!! What a supreme Jaggoff. Thank God this puke sack is gone.
What a human being we used to have as our President
He is a great icon, he indeed is the epitome love and grace. America is lucky to have him. Wishing the next president will be like him or better, America deserves the best
I think the Obama family was the most or the only normal presidential Family to have lived in the White house. I love them and miss them!!!
Me too miss them.
That's class. That's grace. That's dignity. Hard to remember that America was like that just a few years ago.
well the truth is he is smarter than a lot of people.... unlike most harvard graduates he actually earned his way in ...he didn't need money to buy his way in.. like a lot of ivy league students do...so your sarcastic comment was pretty much unnecessary
Dude, he is a constitutional law graduate from Harvard. You might not agree with his policies but he knows more about the constitution than you.
Dear God, if only we (I) could turn back the hand(s) of time. You President Obama are truly MISSED.
The greatest American President, as the congress blocked him, people hate his color, but pushed through thick and thin and has successfully made America pull from the quicksand it was struggling... And even till this moment he is winning against his enemies...
Len,
History speaks volumes
reasons why i cant understand why some people hated him. a far decent, much intelligent, care so much about this country and people regardless of sex, race and religion. A true american in its very sense. I dont care what people say about the Obama but i will vote him again if only the he can run again... how i missed this president .
I just can’t believe how ignorant you are about politics and the truth. The things that pulled the USA out of a hole was decisions dip shit Bush made. He put us in it then pulled us out they sold it as Obama did it but he actually didn’t. Bushs and Obama is a disgrace. Because, they refused to stand up for black people because they knew the democrats would do to them what they did to Trump. See Obama came into office and increased tax on the rich! Why? Because he knew it would blow up prices for the consumer! Who does that hurt the most? Uhhh lower and lower middle which is made up of maj black population . He literally made them poor just like every other democrat has and bullied them because why? Not because Obama wanted too or hopefully not! I think he was just a coward like all the others. Reagan tried to stop the democrats abusing black Americans and he got shot so he stopped helping. Like literally if you try and make black Americans rich the democrats will kill you. As if your freeing slaves. Every democrat is racist that’s why it’s no longer acceptable to like democrats. You have to be racist. They refuse school choice because they don’t want nice black kids going to school with there liberal white trash kids. Why? Because they are black! They don’t want black people learning at all because they don’t want them finding out how abusive and racist democrats are by design. Why do you think every 4 yrs they start a race war and then run on they will save them from the racist when the only racist around are democrats. All I know is democrats better hope god does not exist because I promise they will be turned down at the gate. Rule #1 in any Bible is All man is created equally. Now luckily for y’all I don’t think god exists, I think humans were found to be mean and nasty as democrats are today and they created religion to try and stop this bullying someone because the color of there pigmentation. It’s just disgusting. I have several black coworkers and friends like family. So i can’t just sit by and watch y’all knowingly and willingly oppress them by telling them they can’t can’t can’t do this or that because the color of the skin. They know a lot in the gang banging neighborhoods grew up with a bad home life and so they don’t have confidence anyways. It’s literally mentally and emotionally abusing children is what y’all are knowingly and proudly doing. You tell people how great they are is the correct way. All y’all do is tell them how great they are not and everything they can’t do because the do,or of there skin. It’s to keep them down probably so you can maintain something to run on but it’s sick and abusive.
I truly miss President Obama...
Me too,a lot. We all do in Europe
+Christina Light owhhhh how pity...boo hoo...its the end of libtarism ! begone globalist ! EU election is unfolding the anger of europeans...this is just the beginning...theres alot to come...the lies of globalism is over...greetings from Malaysia ! Populism for the win ! MAGA !!!
@@nicolettacinci3053 i guess my frens in the UK are so happy that Brexit is leading the anti establishment of Leftist and globalist...obama was the architect for globalism and communism...and hes gone now... MAGA !!!
You are talking rubbish
@@nicolettacinci3053 lol only those who are living in delusion would disagree with me...look at the latest EU polls...calling ppl nazis and racist wont gona work after this...always remember, evil will play the good guys game...evil will pretend to be the good guy and play the Robin hood role...but in reality, it is the real evil...globalism, the far left and socialism had ruined many countries in the name of love, tolerance, caring and empathy...its enough...my frens who are living in the UK are being so happy bcus Brexit had won the EU election...u can continue living in ur delusional world...
And Pete Souza is really a great photographer-
Fabian McIntyre hands down one of the best. Check out his Instagram page please. Pete Souza.
A CLASSY PRESIDENT

Now it's an orangutans coloring book in the west wing
Absolutely
Though most powerful president in the world he is so down to earth.Best leadership quality he poses.He knows how to keep people close to him.Example of True leadership
Best POTUS ever
I love this so much, thank you for sharing!
Loved this man and family..
America went from albert einstein to gomer Pyle
More like Albert Einstein to a pile of dog shit.
Why you insult Gomer Pile? I admit that what he lacked in intelligence he more than made up in compassion and humility. Oh and Gomer looking like Albert Einstein compared to tRUMP.
Love your honesty Obama wish you were still President
Biden Obama 2020?
I really needed this rn, glad there were video like this out there,
Have to watch this periodically to re-imagine what our Presidents should strive to be.
what a great job to be able to take pictures of the president!
That’s when America was great and world leaders will agree we had a President and an First Lady two intellectuals with an extensive vocabulary,more words than (great amazing and really good).No scandals,just people for the people!
It seems a 1000 years ago 😓
You know, I can truly say that President Obama has earned my respect. I am a registered Republican, did not vote for him in '08, and I'm not saying that I love the guy, but I truly respect and have come to admire him...he does the best he can with what he is given, especialy an un-helpful Congress. If I were wearing a hat, it would be off for you Sir, you have managed to win my respect and asmiration & I truly hope that you keep it...God speed
What a great guy
Please, for the love of God, bring them back!
Man! Mr Souza had one of the luckiest and coolest job ever
Also, I'd love to meet President Barack Obama.
Me too
That's on my bucket list. I found out when he was running for his first term that he stopped by the park in my little town and I was so disappointed it wasnt advertised more. I found out after the fact. 😪
I L O V E this guy! Salute you,Mr President!
Trump loves him too that's why hes trying to be like him pretending to be a genius wanting to be on time magazines cover wanting a Nobel prize to be a person with Christian family values, wants big hands want to he fit. Only uneducated lazy Americans believe his lies.
*Gosh, I miss Obama!!* *♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥*
I love the Obama's and I felt safe when he was president...Now we don't have the feeling of safety...
I love this! Love seen president Obama like this 💖💖💖💖
great video
You are a great photographer to capture the essence
44th is #1, Hope you all are recouping and doing well.
You can see and feel the love and respect president Obama had for people, and it was clearly reciprocated. Miss him so much.
Great man thanks so lovely DearPresidentObama
He done an amazing jobs
This is great
Omg. It feels like a fairy tale. Once upon a time there was a president whose daily schedules were more than 1 page long...
For tRUMP schedule just flip open the TV Guide to Fox news.
That last little boy...priceless.
Love Obama. Great man, great president
huge power move at 5:53 to fix another man's tie

A Great Man, President Obama, A Great Nation, The United States of America!!!
"God Bless The United States Of America"
I know you're not an American.... because if you were than you'd probably dislike this president,the government,etc. America is NOT America anymore. Only foreigners love this country. Why??? Do some research.
I am an ordinary man of Peace and Love...
I Love Not Hate.
Happy to be in such Democratic Counties of the Best Western States and Countries ........
Love and Kindness to All Who Visit Our Allied Countries Of Freedom
You don't know how Good You Got it because of No Freedoms
Have a Happy New Year FOREVER AND PEACE IN THE KINDOMS OF WESTERN KNOWLEDGE AND FREEDOMS ...... MAY THE LORD OR HIGHER POWER TO COME TO YOUR RESCUE IF YOU THINK OF foreigners because you too were a a foreigner only 350 years of our Americas and Europeans 2000 Years....Egypt and Mesopotamia Ruled all of Individually ... for we were all slaves before that... :(
Tiffany Colon/Hermidas HA! your comment made me laugh so hard, I mean really "Do some research." I mean COME ON comedic gold right their.
Karim Sadrudin Juma PEACE BE WITH YOU.
You are absolutely right about President Obama so please do not pay any attention to racists people. I am an American and my family, friends, colleagues, students, and I love him and his family! In fact, everyone I know loves him. When had won, the first thing the Republicans said was they would make sure he is only a one-term president. Therefore, they vowed to block everything he did even if it was good for the country. Their own colleagues, fellow Republican Senators, and House Representatives admitted it, yet he went on to win a second term despite those who blocked his endeavors. After President Obama completed his last term, other Congressmen and Senators confessed to trying to sabotage his legacy by blocking and resisting his endeavors restore our economy, do what's right for this country and the people. After he won the presidency he said, "As president of our country, and commander-in-chief of our military, I accept that people are going to call me awful things every day, and I will defend their right to do so", and he has done just that. Among his other great qualities, his profound integrity, and love for people (supporters or not), this is why we love him and he will go down as the greatest president in history. No other president had to come into such as mess and demised economy where people were literally attempting and committing suicide as the result of losing everything due to the failures and lies of the previous president who started a war against a country that did absolutely nothing to our country. When President Obama was a senator, he voted against the Iraq War and he publicly spoke out against it too. The Republicans and their voters wanted that war and they started it, and even during Obama's presidency, he was against the war. However, his hands were forced due to the continued and constant attacks on us by ISIS, he had no choice but to debilitate their weapons and take out their leaders.
Good work, very good documentary !
Obama and the First Family Rock! Love the president...!
America what happened
We fucked up....sorry.
Evangelical Christian idiocracy. Blinded by greed, hate and lies.forgivable due to their lack of motivation to learn
7:59 "Just outside the president's office is a waiting area, oh yes there is!"
So nat geo followed a guy with a camera who follows another guy with a camera😂
He was the 1st president I ever voted for. 🙌the 2nd president I voted for. The last president I voted for. 😞
Such a charismatic man President Obama is. It would be great that Congress was not so obstructive so he could do much more of what he is trying to accomplish.
Thanks to the YT algorithm to suggest me this when the current president recommends disinfecting people to fight COVID-19.
Very Good person

Pete: I call this the "Getting Blown."
BEST JOB EVER.
History is now visual, not just legible or fable. It means greater accountability, and makes our leaders real, which means we need to have a bit more compassion for their human failings, and more appreciation for their great deeds.
Kerrie Redgate Obama the best president of the United States of America of the modern history.
Amazing grace, amazing America 🇺🇸
Whether you agree with his politics or not this country didn’t deserve such a wonderful man what you have now is what you deserve
A presidential photographer must have no ears and only one eye: his camera.
Good president

Dat drumming in the intro! :D
5:47 - The bespectacled guy was rude to look away when shaking hands. It's called a "doucheshake."
Pete Souza is a great man
Saya suka
Enough of the negative comments. It's shocking the number of Americans that take everything for granted. Wish you only knew how little of everything most of us have (and I don't mean the material) in some other parts of the world.
For one, your lucky enough to have presidents come and go without the whole country falling to ruins....
Listen to world news....YOUR LUCKY!
Bo is the luckiest dog
Number 1...
Best president of my lifetime
I love it
This sounds like a nature documentary
Yes, Human Nature..!
I'm with you on that Bro.
Our nation was great when OBAMA WAS PRESIDENT!!! MAN I MISS HIM..JUST LISTENING TO HIS SPEACHES MAKES ME FEEL BETTER & HAVE HOPE !!!
So grateful to have lived through his presidency. Why the heck did the USA vote for a clown last election..
Look at him kissing Michelle behind the scenes, smiling, filled with so much calm and dignity.. can't imagine cheetoh ever having the same level of class.
Why not again obama to be president?
US Presidents can only serve two terms.
My favourite PRESIDENT ❤
We're Boring now.... 😢ba'miss 😖
i agree with you 110%
😊I wish to visit the White House and meet with the American President
We're Boeing now.... Oba'miss 😢
My god, to see what we had and we have now, it breaks my heart! We have fallen so low as a country that I cry when I see old footage of Obama because my heart just hurts so bad!

Mr Jackson wasn't quick enough as you see other photographers walk right in front of him as he's taking a picture
