I'm from Jamaica, and I remember at the end of our high school morning assembly, we all chanted YES WE CAN!! We were so proud😃
Oh I love this 💚🥺
Wow its amazing how far American politics reaches across the world, had no idea.
Who else is watching this in 2020 and getting chills? And I'm not even American.
Watching Obama videos as therapy for all that the US is going through right now.
Orange 🍊 as President
luckyyy😭
Grand Admiral Bencardd shut up!
Jln. Jck he probably is going to win 2020
Trump will NEVER have this.
Trump is human garbage. He shows no respect and deserves none in kind.
LOL, come back and ask what people think of Obama. The evil empire changed not a bit, when O exited you were waging war in half-a-dozen countries LOL, he's definitely better than Trump, but nothing ever changes.
TheSpiritOfTheTimes He made significant changes. But it’s not a dictatorship. He couldn’t do whatever he wanted.
@@dilbertdoe601 agreed
That explains why so many people these days ever since trump was elected are jerks to each other.
Patriot Teen Stop drinking the kool aid. The US was such a nice place before Trump. Look forward to the day all you trumpeters go back to hiding
Being a person in my twenties, I have never witnessed an election that drew so many people out into the streets and celebrating. I heard from friends around the States that students were celebrating all over campus.
It is a sight to see and something to feel.
Do you remember writing this?
Are you in your thirties now?
jessi330 now we get to see sexists, confederates, and Neo Nazis party.
@@vikashpatel155 lmao if only. the same party that worships israel and allows china to take our jobs.
Sock Cucka We were doing fine with Obama and all it took for Trump was 4 years to make the place go up in flames.
....we went from an internationally admired leader to the orange embarrassment
Gentle Breadcat, Esquire 😂😂 an orange embarrassment lmao
@@ah_kneesha4822 yeah Trump is, but these people will soon hate Obama. Obama killed more people in the middle east than any former president. Escalated the 2 wars. Started the Syrian Civil war, the Libyan revolution, and the Arab spring were all results of Obama's policies.
Trump has done better actually
@@YazzMusician1991 He helped unemployment more, he hasn't tried to regulate governmental standards, and he is not into identity politics.
Truth.
I love President Obama. God bless you Mr President and your family and your dogs. Forever 44.
@★ Froggie Animation ★
I don't know much about this topic, but what do you think about these statistics? docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NAfjFonM-Tn7fziqiv33HlGt09wgLZDSCP-BQaux51w/edit?usp=drivesdk
Baron Blitz He’s better than trump if that’s where you’re trynna get into.
Sock Cucka ?
Ah yes. Politics in a youtube comment section...
Sock Cucka have you seen trump supporters😭 its a literal cult💀
I am watching this in June 2020 , and all I can say is that watching this fill my eyes with tears because of how many steps backwards the world has taken since then
It's just a mixture of the people with Trump derangement syndrome in the far left and people who think he's a God on the far right
In my opinion Trump an okay President not the best we could have had not the worst but people always freak out over every little thing he says that's making people crazier
He just suffers from the same thing all Republicans seem to suffer from
" we're going to lower the budget and Shrink government "
Yet our budget still increased year by year
Gurnoor Athwal me too, there was so much hope then
This 😢
Yeah we believe Trump, and he fricking lied too us saying he would make america great again
Can you please write me a list of positive and progressive changes Obama made to our country? Because frankly there seems to be none.
“I’m happy to see that the white people have become civilized enough to accept a black man as the president of their country” it’s so simple yet it just translates so much love and acceptance ❤️
For black people, I'm glad that Obama is black, as he's a role model for equality, that everybody can achieve anything. Black kids can now refer to a black president. I deeply hope this will help heal some of the wounds.
But I think it's not about white people becoming civilised enough. Obama towers way above that: he is just a _great_ man. A warm, joyful, wise, aware, intelligent, mature, authentic, respectful, optimistic, radiant human being most people can just relate to. What a fantastic, inspiring president he was.
@Lockjaw I don't know how I could've communicated it better, yet you guys seem to have gotten the wrong end of the stick. Firstly, racism is not about being civilised or not. If it were only that, it wouldn't be so hard an attitude to eradicate from people's minds.
Obama is such a great man, he rises above racism. I don't know how I can say it differently, because I have nothing with racism. I'm not American, here in Europe racism isn't as rampant as it is in the US. People are just people. A minority is still unaware and they still have racist beliefs. I hope their beliefs die out with them.
I can't wait until black people of much of Africa become civilized enough to accept a white man as the president of their country!
@@justsomeone5717 there were a lot of white people born in the Portuguese colonies, lot of third generation Portuguese africans. But they were kicked out, so yeah, we will probably never see a white president.
@@Jaqvander Ask a European about gypsies and you will quickly learn how racist Europe actually is.
Beautiful timeless memories
It is
Say what you want about Obama but at least he didn’t build his campaign on xenophobia and nor did he incite fear and a false sense of hope into the American people
Can you elaborate on the 'xenophobia' part?
Jacob oh I don’t know maybe the 60 foot wall he’s building on the border could be that idk
@@astrixlone3773 How's that racist? Is your backyard fence racist too?
Jacob how is that going to help at all since most people just overstay there visa’s hmm? They got here legally so what is a wall going to other then stand as a testament to xenophobia? He calls the left radical while at the same time literally wasting billion of tax dollars on a useless wall.
Neither did trump;)
Im Peruvian, I remember at the time Obama won the elections, my father bought the book of his campaign speeches at the airport in Canada while waiting for his flight because he thought they were educative.
Nowadays, if one was to buy a book of Trumps' speeches, it would be because the reader thought it was humorous.
peru!! 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
@Dr Ake And stupid things he’s said like "I call it the Super Duper Missile"
How are you able to afford to travel to Canada if you're from Peru
@@brianrivera0 because we are professionals... My dad was in his way back from Japan.
“It proves that there isn’t racial discrimination in the United States” uHhhhh idk about that
At least, not *systemic* discrimination.
7 years later:
“sniffle “mExIcO iSn’T SeNdInG uS tHeIr BeSt!”
@@BulletTheEnforcer so true I miss op
Yea that comment didn’t age well lol
That's until Trump took over
Who’s also here nearly 12 years after he was elected ?
This made me cryyyyyyyy there where never be this kind of hype and pride anymore!
Especially after how Obama turned on us. Even if we ever get another progressive in there, there's going to be much more skepticism involved.
U r correct, thanks to the hateful dems
@Ramadan Steve they r getting u and i mixed up
"White people have shown the world that they're civilized enough to elect a black leader for thier country." What a profound statement. I would love to know how people in other countries feel about the US now.
And that was literally the most idiotic statement. How foolish to assume all white people were racist. But they gotta add to that divide somehow 🙄
more like white people have cucked themselves, they are the laughing stock of the whole world now.
@@katscratchfever3506you are not a part of the civilized white people we were proud of.
@@katscratchfever3506considering 40 years ago, their family relatives could have been part of that group opposing integration. Its progress and that’s what they think so womp womp
How can any civilized human being listen to the beautiful, sincere statements of these international citizens and not feel encouraged and humbled at how different they are than they are portrayed by the media. The world can be beautiful if you actually step out from behind your flag, rifle and your Bible and give life a chance...
CJView yes it it
He definitely made history omg. Now America is yearning for these days again 🤦🏾♀️ don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone
Oh human from 11 years ago, I wonder if you know just how true your words are today.
I bet you live in a good world human from 11 years ago please take with you take me to the past to the good old times back when everything was simple and sweet please take me with you
@@Ecstasy-91 Hopefully in 11 years we won't be looking back at these comments and longing for these simpler times we're in now ;_;
I miss you sooooooo much Mr. President Barack Obama!
My god what happened to us? This wasn't that long ago.
Watching this in August 2020 as an American, a black American, makes me extremely...depressed. I hate that the World think Americans are all like Orange Face and his base.
*I miss this man’s intelligence and decency!*
@Luka Let me see: Trump made a useless wall towards Mexico, undid everything Obama worked so hard for, turned his back on America's greatest allies, made 'friends' with communist parties (Putin and Kim-jung Un), drove entire families apart, put the constitution in danger each passing year, divided the nation, and ignored the dangers of the Corona Virus. AND let us not forget the recent Russian Bounty Scandal. Yeah, Trump did a lot alright, but not in the nation's best interest or its people. Obama may not have done much (in your words, I think he did actually), but at least he didn't tear the nation apart...And that is EXACTLY what Trump is doing.
@Luka Maybe I am ignorant, maybe not. But at least I have my eyes open to see where Trump is leading us. You should try it some time.
@Luka Actions speak louder than words, my dear. And the statistics of several crises Trump is facing doesn't lie either. His actions tells me it is not going to go well for America, especially at this rate.
And sorry to disappoint you, but I don't have CNN where I am from. So, no brainwashing on my part. And even if I had, Trump appears to have Fox News under his control, another sign that Trump wants to RULE the country and not PROTECT it, something the other media refuse in doing. And I prefer to watch CNN, who is not afraid of telling the truth, rather than watch something who tells everybody what a good man he is all day (which clearly he isn't)...
So, if you want to believe everything what Fox News is saying (technically being brainwashed by the media, the same thing you accused me of), that is up to you. But I prefer to keep myself with an open mind, rather than being a mindless puppet.
@Luka Oh, on a side note, you really need to catch up on your history. Putin has been thrown out of G7 for a reason and has done questionable things in the past.
@Luka Trump COULD fix America, but he didn't. He didn't even try. If this doesn't tell what kind of a human being Trump is, I really don't know what else I can tell you. You seem - like several others - so enthralled by the guy that you fail to see the bigger picture (which is also a type of brainwashing). Trump simply doesn't care about America or its people. As I explained before, HE is the one who divided our country the moment he set foot in the office. NOT BLM and certainly NOT the media did that. From the action he has taken, I have nothing more to add than that he is a direct danger to the constitution, to the country and its people. He wants to have full control of this great nation and unless something happens, America WILL end up being a dictatorial nation under his rule.
And again, I refuse to give up my freedom rather than to live under a dictatorship.
I loved the kenyan reaction
back when ppl around the world didnt see american as an embarassment and disapointment
The world loves Trump, I have no idea what you’re talking about lmao
If you want me to, I can say all the major things he’s helped with for other countries lol
@@young.angry.devildawg The world doesn't love Trump. Take your delusions someplace else.
@@OHNO-k9l
israel, the phillipines, japan, south korea, india, ukraine, nigeria, haiti, kenya, france, uk, canada, brazil, russia, germany, hungary, australia, italy, sweden, spain, netherlands, vietnam, and poland are SOME countries that view trump very favorably. there are many more who view him somewhat favorably, some others that have split views about him, and a solid 5 countries that view him unfavorably: mexico, iran, North Korea, venezuela, and china.
i’d say he’s pretty popular.
@@young.angry.devildawg literally all the bad countries like him.
@@ezzie9167
i can understand why you say russia, canada, brazil, and the countries from africa are bad, but some of the others are consistently ranked high as amongst some of the best in the world. sweden, switzerland, the netherlands, germany, and italy will almost always be on any top 10 list of the best countries lmao
none of those are better than the us, but still, they aren’t awful. plus, no country is better than america, anyway
WOW. I really wish i'd spent that day somewhere that was a lot more positive about his victory. Maybe then it would've made my experience better. LOL.
I agree with you. I saw your other post and I saw that you live near Houston. I live in Houston and I had an Obama-Biden sticker on the back of my old car and my dad borrowed it when his car was in the shop and someone left a really nasty note on it threatening violence while my dad was inside the mall shopping. He took the sticker off my car because he was scared someone would do something to me when I got my car back from him because of the sticker...lol. Gotta love him. But that was crazy.
Beautiful Surprise That’s just the America we know now... it’s so sad
I remember watching this when I was 8 , Everyone in my family was so happy that a black man was the President of the USA , I didn't understand what all the fuss was about lol
I remember asking my dad , "He has got darker skin so what ?"
This was the best time… I miss this…
Oh so this is what normal feels like, Good Times!!!!
I really loved the last guy 😂😂
Woah can't believe it's almost been 12 years....
This was the first ever election that schools made kids watch at my school and students weren’t upset about it!!! Many students and staff praised him we cheered that day and celebrated .., the crazy thing was almost every school in my city did the same thing from pre-k to college
OMG they are so happy :d
"Less tension in the world, less wars".
Giggity
Hmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
And then he increased the troop count in Afghanistan...
@@GTA5Player1Actually by the end he had less troops there so
anyone watching this in 2020 .
Annie S. Yup, and now we are the laughing stock of the world. It’s not a coincidence that Obama’s election garnered international admiration while Trumps only caused our own allies to laugh at us and our enemies to cozy up with us.
In August 2020, watching this report is an out of body experience. Leadership and competence matters greatly. But the vendor in Iraq, who describes changing employees (party in WH) while the manager (policy) stays the same, is pretty wise. There are overlords and they have billions to spend.
"There proves that there isn't racial discrimination in the United States" Oh the irony.
Systematic racism is a lie pushed by the democrats and the rest of the left
AndresOMEGA21 of course there’s racists, there’s racists in every race. BLM is a terrorist movement, systemic racism is a lie
Luka you’re a child, just shut up dude you have no idea what you’re talking about. School to prison pipeline, inequalities in arrests for drugs and other crimes, disparities in prison population of african americans despite being only 18% of the population. Read a book for once or just google it, ignorant asf bro.
@Luka i mean you are right that racism statistics are low, because they've declined a lot in the last years and we should be proud of that. But to this day orgs like KKK are still active and is not even recognized as a criminal activity lmao
Luka Those are literally systemic issues bro, what can you change about “culture” that will have a significant impact on those issues?
A moment in time unlike any other
What a time to be alive!! It was amazing!
I absolutely miss these times.
Wild to watch this in 2020.
What a memory
I am amazed how this one man has not just brought Americans together but the world its for a lack of a better word... amazing. It just goes to show how many people were looking for the Hope and Change he stands for. So many people around the world look to us the United States Of America as the becon of hope and this video goes to show it as such I am so proud to be an American. YES WE DID!!! Amen.
I miss the unity we had.
Voting for a leader should never be about race
I know I was young when he was elected, and things tend to feel peaceful usually when you’re younger, but after he left, everything was just a mess. I feel like we went completely backwards
They really said there wasn’t racial discrimination in the US just because a black man was announced as president. 🤦🏿♀️
The day the hole planet was happy
Obama : Charismatic Negotiator +1 diplo rep
Trump : Babbling Buffoon -1 diplo rep
EVENT: ERROR: LEADER SERVES TWO COUNTRIES, RUSSIA AND UNITED STATES
-40 administrative power
Omg I can't believe it's been 12 years since Obama was first elected. 1/3 of my life has since passed. Time flies!
I can say as a now 49 year ols white man born in the USA, i was very proud of my country that day. Oh how i missed him, expecially durring the trump years.
It's awesome looking back at this, I remember watching his inauguration on TV when I was 6 or so. Its not often that a candidate is like Obama.
Glad my family is independent voters and not liberal or conservative. We all voted for him.
this is a fantastic video...esp the kenyans featured!
This is the REAL "make America great again"...representing change, embracing it, culture it, support it. Not what we have now.
This broke my heart, the hopeful people in ME thought that Obama wouldn’t mercilessly bomb them. But he did ;( Im really sad tbh
Who’s here after the 2024 election …
how far we've fallen since
1:42 this aged horribly
I MISS YOU OBAMA!!!!!!!!
I miss the idea of Obama. You know, the one from 2008.
It's all about decency and get people together : no divisions no gimmicks no deception & lies !!!
Back when the US inspired
Nowadays all the US does is disappoint. I always wonder what changed there. But, Trump is fun to watch hahaha!! He gives hope that anyone with a big mouth and a divisive idea can become a president there. Just make the rich and powerful happy.
Everytime i am crying
The fact that when Obama won even other countries celebrated but when Trump was president everyone just laughs at us
It was crazy how much the world loves him…. I went to Peru, South America at the same time that the Obamas did. You would have thought that he was the president of their country. He was more like a rockstar. The people had made fan signs and were crying and lining up to see his car pass by or trying to see him as he walked into restaurants. I was so surprised
Trump has made me miss Obama so much.
A time when there was hope and decency.
Top-comments: Obama praise
Newest comments: Obama hate
A night I will never forget.
He did a good job
I tend to lean more to the right, but even I voted for and appreciated Obama. It was a beautiful, monumental day in history and I’m forever grateful I got to be a part of it.
This made me cry. Now we are despised for electing this racist bigot.
Barton trump lost the popular vote the electoral college put him in!
I am quite amazed that foreigners know more about America’s history than even the Americans know themselves. Germany, you have done well to educate your citizens of the world’s history and to embrace that legacy for a better future.
Actually its was the Black and hispanic vote that help obama win along with some white voters. According to the Pew reseacrh center, more whites actually voted for Mccain 55% while only 43% voted for Obama. 95% of Blacks voted for Obama and 66% hispanics voted for Obama. So its not what you wanted, keep telling yourself that, it was actually what we and the latinos brothers and sisters wanted, with a little help from some white voters. YES WE DID!!!
The staggered triplet the one guy added to that chant they were doing at the end was awesome. That’s amazing they’re not even musicians.
See? Even the world loves Obama.
So all I can say is,
SO COME BACK BARACK
@@Blud9236, id much rather have Obama as my president than a cheeto who honored racist and Confederate losers. He encourages the rioters to march into their city halls just because they want a haircut. Keep in mind they have rifles and Confederate flags. They were mad because of quarantine.
We, as in the black people and allies who protest the brutal murder of Breonna George and Auhmad are thugs under trump's eyes.
@@Blud9236 , the ones who stormed their city halls just because they didn't want to be quarantined. The Confederate and conservative little brats.
I'm pretty sure the Syrians, Iraqis and Libyans love him to death.
Obama was 1000 times worse than Trump
@@georgea7022 Obama was a horrible president.
Crazy to watch this in 2020
Watching this video in this day and age, I was distraughted to knowing that The United States has dramatically turned to be a falling state under orange man embarrassing person. I truely hoped that Joe Biden can restore the prosperity in The United States and the world.
Nov 12,2020 from Malaysia here!!!
Now the world laugh at us
The world laughed in the first few years but at least in Europe the laughter turned more to concern. Trump demolished the US reputation overseas. NATO is essentially dead, Trump fights against close allies, so America will be on its own soon. Which is really sad, all US
citizen I met were really nice and the US is still the only democratic superpower. But with this president the only way youre heading is fast downwards to desaster.
After 11 years this is recommended to me again, my videos could never-
Man...imagine a voting view party in china, of all places nowadays🥴😂💀
“Civilized enough.” Loved it!
I was like finally. They can put down the he victim card
It's certainly... interesting to see what some people were saying. Like don't get me wrong, Obama was good, but saying his election showed their "wasn't any racial discrimination in the US"? Yeah that's just a bit overly-enthusiastic.
Obama wasn’t good, he was decent. Which, granted, for an American president, is rare. But, to say that the guy that killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people in drone strikes was a good president is psychotic. He also reversed stance on the Patriot Act, passed by Bush, which he said he would repeal and instead expanded upon. He made some massive fuckups. Of course he had very good policies as well, and I vastly prefer him to most presidents of the last 50 years, but its strange to me to say he was a good president.
@@kaiserkong6587 You're blaming Bush on Obama. I can't find a single source on casualties of the Iraq war that doesn't end either before Obama took office or one year after he did. Did he order drone strikes after being advised to do so from his military high command? probably, but from most sources it looks like he only killed around 50,000 people, which in a WAR, especially in a country with around 40 million people, is not bad at all. Even the most generous sources say 70,000-80,000, despite being far off from the consensus. Under any other administration of the time, I'd expect a far higher number of casualties, considering the war didn't even end until 2011.
I love the statement by that last Kenyan guy
He was the first *President* I was eligible to vote for in 2008.
It's like 5 steps forward, 10 steps back with Trump.🤢
I feel the same way you do.
I just want you to tell me anything productive and beneficial for America or Americans?? Not even for his own black community. Come on now either you have to be very ignorant or you are living in wonderland.
Watching this with sadness as American people are at their knees. Thousands of death when it shouldn't happen. And an American President bragging his successes.
Things are more sophisticated than this but when you just look at a person or hear like just 1 sentence come out of their mouth don't you get an impression on that person on whether they are good or bad. Like, you can just take a look at Trump and most if his supporters and see that evil
Yeah.... no....
remember when elections weren't so terrifying?
I am here after Biden was elected ......
Simpler times.... 😞
"It proves that there isn't racial discrimination in the United States." 😂
I was like 6 when this was happening so I didn’t care that much but should now I do
Looking forward to celebrate the election of the First female Black President :-)
I'm looking forward to the first Native American to be President of the United States.
this made my eyes mist up
Geeeeeeeze I'm so sad what we lost. Obama really made the US respected worldwide
I was like a year old when this happened, Looolz
Joe Biden 2020❤
I miss the hope that we had when Obama was in office. It's something that will never happen again.
Well trump ruined it all...
Back when we had a president.
Its very true tho...size maters HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE BLACK MEN!!!
killahkoreah why does everyone try to be white then?
It’s sad to watch these videos. Not only because Trump is in office now, but because these people had so much hope. And Obama failed to provide peace and improvement to the world.
