Matt Collins You know, I could tell that most of the concern was of this interrupting his conference instead of the man being sick...He carried on like it was nothing, not even discussing it.
As a republican I don't get why other people don't like him. I didn't like him at first but he's really changed my opinion. I genuinely love and respect this guy
Adam Nelson He has kept few of his promises. Whether or not his promises were good or not is debatable, but only delivering on a small fraction of your promises doesn't sit well with the citizens.
Vladislav Dracula. Yes, but no president has ever lived up to all their promises. Presidents often make promises that they just can't keep, and citizens don't realize it. When congress is working against you, it's impossible to get anything done.
Legion First off, both the wall and the deportation force are unrealistic. Two policies that are meant to segregate and eliminate ethnic groups in the United States. For what? To ethnically cleanse the U.S. of hard working people from Latin America who come with hopes to live a better life, even though they are forced to take jobs that no one wants (I.e. bus tables, gardening work, garbage man, etc.) Deporting 13 million Americans will take a tremendous amount of time and effort, which in turn won't be worth it, because the illegals will still flow back into the country, but this time they will have enough money to purchase passports for their whole family, leading to a larger pour of voluntary migrants to "steal white jobs." Leading me to my next point, the wall. A wall, being unrealistic in price and construction time, also will be ineffective in preventing an inward flow of migrants. A wall will stop the flow of Latinos going back to their homelands, which will in turn raise the amount of money going into remittances towards their families who will then cross legally, marry legally in the U.S. and gain citizenship. Trump has continued to bash Latin Americans, (Mexicans for you uneducated fools) for their lack of contribution to American lifestyle. However, building a wall and tracking down these people will cost so much money, continuing the pile of debt that you Trumpettes complain Obama caused, and contrary to Trump's belief, we won't gain any money back as a Latino-free Nation. Jonathan Hoenig states that "Illegal immigrants are not running the economy dry, however it is the benefits Americans receive that do, most of which illegals don't receive." Illegal immigrants fuel our economy by living inexpensive tax payer lives, and doing jobs Americans won't fill. So, all in all, name a GOOD Trump policy, not one that he has lied to his supporters about.
No no, Obama is not the worst president in history. According to a Texas A&M study, he's ranked 5th: 1. Reagan & Lincoln tied for first 2. 17 presidents tied for second 3. 23 other presidents tied for third 4. Jimmy Carter came in fourth, and… 5. Obama was fifth.
I lost mine and they want me to come up with $27,000 when my income was or will be $12,000...... I am staying with my last living family in their twilight years, mom. And the doctor I now get works out of a trailer park down by the river! well almost.
"Get him outta here. It's ridiculous someone would interrupt me. Get him outta here. Can you believe that?" Is something Trump would say. Then go on a baby tantrum on Twitter.
Trump would have stopped everything and walked over to her and sat with her until help came. Obama just stood there like a dick! He is a horrible man and a failure of a president!
Legion What, lol. Do you know who Trump is? Have you seen him react to a baby crying at his speeches? Are people even arguing off the same information anymore? You are such a brainwashed individual.
Laff Twous You're the brainwashed ones... did you even watch the proof in the video. of course not, because you people are afraid of facts and are always too lazy to do any research on your own and just believe everything the MSM propaganda sites shovel into your throats. You got it all turned around kid.. one day you will wake up and realize you're on the wrong side and in reality YOU are the evil ones. I pray it's not to late when you do.
Legion Not to get involved, but Trump isn't perfect dude. No one is. Its people like you who think that they are always right and ruin America. I am not going to say if Trump is good or bad. He just isn't perfect.
I don't think Obama would get nearly as much criticism as he does if he were white. Also if the republicans didn't shut him down in the house and senate. Everyone who gets mad at him for not getting enough done should blame those republicans.
If the Democrats and Obama were better, they'd have more members in Congress. Instead, under Obama, the Democrats have lost Congress and the majority of State legislatures.
Apparently if you criticized him you were racist, though. That's how special snowflake liberals try to get away from real arguments. 2008: "I'm voting for him because he's black" 2016: "I'm voting for her because she's a woman"
Mark R Yes, he saw a person who was sick, called for a doctor and tried to resume his speech, but got very annoyed that the reporters were being distracted by the poor sick guy, you could see it on his face. He's not a caring man. He could have cared less about the sick man and that shows his true nature. He probably had a tee time he was aiming for after the meeting.
Most high-up politicians have many of the traits of psychopaths, and that includes a lack of empathy. They're usually good at feigning it though if it gets the results they want. Obama's getting pretty tired by the look of things though - he looked pretty angry that someone had dared to fall ill when he was performing. Must be difficult to keep that veil up all this time.
Yes... run back to your safe spaces and echo chambers and pretend the rest of the world doesn't hate this failure of a president. You won't be able to hide from Trump in your safe spaces in 4 weeks. Time to GROW UP!
Eric Zarahn $900 maybe for a cheap plan. Obama destroyed healthcare. Just for my wife and me. Under my wifes Post Office insurance plan which is suppose to be great, they want $1,295 a month for the two of us. That isn't the great plans either.
sahaley terrell In the U.K. we have our N.H.S. It has been the best thing ever to improve the health of the people. It costs about 7% of income for each worker. A bargain. Call it socialism...but to me, it's just common sense.
Loshan T That's fine. The American people are stuck between the vices of big medical businesses and the fear of socialism. The only solution is to have universal health cover. This is almost in place for 550,000,000 Europeans. Or you can may everyone rich enough to pay for everything they need. Only one realistic solution.
Even Obama had a problem getting this guy a doctor... and there was one right down the hall. He had to ask three times and send an army of staffers to get the doctor. LOL
It took less than two minutes to get the doctor there. People don't just magically teleport around. Someone had to walk to the doctor's office, the doctor had to grab his things, and he had to walk back to the briefing room. Less than two minutes seems pretty reasonable.
I'm American, and I'm sick of people saying America is "the stupidest country in the world." Personally, I think Europe is the stupidest country in the world...
Donald Trump probably has Bipolar. Because he can feel happy and mad. I want to know if Donald Trump has Bipolar, and if yes, yay because I want to be President of the United States and I have Bipolar 2.
Andrew Gabriel Over the past two decades of insurgency, a relatively coherent catalog of worker-resistance tactics has emerged. When a grievance arises, workers’ first step is often to talk directly to managers. These requests are almost always ignored, especially if they relate to wages. Strikes, on the other hand, do work. But they are never organized by the official Chinese unions, which are formally subordinate to the Communist Party and generally controlled by management at the enterprise level. Every strike in China is organized autonomously, and frequently in direct opposition to the official union, which encourages workers to pursue their grievances through legal channels instead. The legal system, comprising workplace mediation, arbitration, and court cases, attempts to individualize conflict. This, combined with collusion between state and capital, means that this system generally cannot resolve worker grievances. It is designed in large part to prevent strikes. Until 2010, the most common reason for workers to strike was nonpayment of wages. The demand in these strikes is straightforward: pay us the wages to which we are entitled. Demands for improvements above and beyond existing law were rare. Given that legal violations were and are endemic, there has been fertile ground for such defensive struggles. Strikes generally begin with workers putting down their tools and staying inside the factory, or at least on factory grounds. Surprisingly, there is little use of scab labor in China, and so pickets are rarely used.* When faced with recalcitrant management, workers sometimes escalate by heading to the streets. This tactic is directed at the government: by affecting public order, they immediately attract state attention. Workers sometimes march to local government offices or simply block a road. Such tactics are risky, as the government may support strikers, but just as frequently will resort to force. Even if a compromise is struck, public demonstrations will often result in organizers being detained, beaten, and imprisoned. Even more risky, and yet still common, is for workers to engage in sabotage and property destruction, riot, murder their bosses, and physically confront the police. Such tactics appear to be more prevalent in response to mass layoffs or bankruptcies. A number of particularly intense confrontations took place in late 2008 and early 2009 in response to mass layoffs in export processing due to the economic crisis in the West. As will be explained, workers may now be developing an antagonistic consciousness vis-à-vis the police. But the least spectacular item in this catalog of resistance forms the essential backdrop to all the others: migrants, increasingly, have simply been refusing to take the bad jobs they used to flock to in the export processing zones of the southeast. A labor shortage first arose in 2004, and in a nation that still has more than 700 million rural residents, most assumed it to be a short-term fluke. Eight years later, there is clearly a structural shift taking place. Economists have engaged in intense debate about the causes of the labor shortage, a debate I will not recap here. Suffice it to say that a large swath of manufacturers in coastal provinces such as Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu has not been able to attract and retain workers. Regardless of the specific reasons, the salient point is that the shortage has driven up wages and strengthened workers’ power in the market - an advantage that they have been exploiting
We will miss you Barry. I hope all your work on global warming doesn't go out the drain when Trump gets office. Ohh how i wish you could of run for a third term. If you were able to i bet you would of beaten Trump by a landslide. I feel sorry for the transition team and you for having to work with such a narcissistic Oompah Loompa. Trump will easily go down as one of the worst presidents in U.S history, that's if he doesn't get Impeached in the first few months of office.
Obama was like my Father to me once when he became president I knew being black can still be successful , and I was only 6 years old he have to be one of my favorite presidents and the one of the most hip
Sorry to burst your bubble (not sorry) but Obama is a failure as a president and thanks to his disgraceful time in office you can expect not to see another black president in your lifetime.
Legion how old are you lol- all of your videos are about video games. I doubt you spend much time at all educating yourself on any topic since you probably spend 80% of your day on steam.
RandomAccount so bc of his channel content you automatically know about his political knowledge? Ever hear "Don't judge a book by its cover"? Its worth a thought.
On the contrary, I think Obama is showing considerable sympathy by attempting to downplay the gravity of the situation and thereby spare the ill reporter of further embarrassment. If I had vomited in a crowd of people on live national television, that would certainly be my biggest concern, and not the fear of dying. (People get the flu. It sucks, but unless you're 80 years old, you're going to be fine.) Sympathetic classroom teachers will do this when students get sick in class.
I like how Obama immediately got off of the stage and helped that poor sick woman, he personally helped lifted her up and guided her to the doctors office through the doors. Very Presidential if he did that, but nah, he just stood there.
It's sad 😢 but completely understandable why that reporter got sick. But he already knew that spirit-cooking with with Obamination and Shillary before a press conference could be hazardous to his health. Pneumonia is no joke...
dude. he's a perfect example of what a leader should be. any other politician would've ignored her. This video really made me think about me as a person and who I want to be someday.
Are you kidding me?! He gave her such an evil look and was only concerned about her interrupting him talking. Trump would have stopped everything and walked over to her and sat with her until help came. Obama just stood there like a dick! He is a horrible man and a failure of a president!
Coldcube "Theories" lol. OK child, why don't you go to the RUclips settings and click on the *"delete"* and try to never step on RUclips ever again? You're clearly wrong, have been proven wrong, and now you're speechless without bringing up any sort of valid information that supports your claims.
Kyero doesn't know the reporter is a plant. Without significant evidence, he could just be lying to push his own narrative. Is it possible that one can fake something like that? Sure, but it would be a useless tactic because most people will not remember these small gestures. The things people will remember are the policies Obama puts into place. Whether his policies are good or bad well, that's a whole new debate.
Looks irritated that He has to be interrupted from an hour of babbling and meandering and pontificating. Everybody sit down and be quiet. I need to finish explaining things to you.
Why is this comment section filled with so much hate? People are saying he looks irritated and mad. People are saying they're not surprised the person got sick. People are saying the same joke every time they leave a comment. I just don't understand. Obama looks like he's really concerned, but doesn't know what to do. Is that really a bad thing? Just because he didn't step down and help the lady to the doctor makes him a bad guy? He asked for help multiple times, he gave them directions, and made sure the doctor was on his way. It looks like he did the best he could in an unexpected situation.
Fitting. The woman who got sick serves as metaphor toward the feelings of many Americans sick of the Obama presidency. Hopefully the woman is feeling better though.
Lets see how many people I can trigger with this comment. *Trump would of made fun of him for being weak and kicked him out* Come at me Trump supporters!!!
God He wouldn't tell him to get out, that's being too generalist. Remember, Trump, as candidate had to go through a lot for crap, leading to stress. The only people Trump kicked out where the ones causing major disruption. Those who where stopping his speeches by unconstructive opinions at the wrong time. Better get facts than opinions kid. This is the internet, it's not that hard to do research.
It shouldn't matter whether you're republican or democrat. This was really kind of him to do
but u know deep down ppl don't care they just here on this video to hate on him and compare him to trump and how trump did this and did that.
Da Phuc lol i hope thats sarcasm
Matt Collins You know, I could tell that most of the concern was of this interrupting his conference instead of the man being sick...He carried on like it was nothing, not even discussing it.
Matt Collins republican or democrat he looks outrageously annoyed that his conference is interrupted.
its the normal thing to do wtf literally anybody would do this stop glorifying everything this guy does

We will miss you Barry. I hope all your work on global warming doesn't go out the drain when Trump gets office. Ohh how i wish you could of run for a third term. If you were able to i bet you would of beaten Trump by a landslide. I feel sorry for the transition team and you for having to work with such a narcissistic Oompah Loompa. Trump will easily go down as one of the worst presidents in U.S history, that's if he doesn't get Impeached in the first few months of office.
We are all sick of him...this just lets Obama know it in person.
He looks like he's got a real chip on his shoulder now. More than usual. He should have laid his magical hands on that woman and made her dance.
listen and puke
0:36
When you are watching someone eat the last cookie.
Russia made that person sick
Obama's true face at 00:41.
Isn't that the face Bill Clinton made at the second Presidential debate?
RkivUnderground+ Yes it was. That same look.
Obama was like my Father to me once when he became president I knew being black can still be successful , and I was only 6 years old he have to be one of my favorite presidents and the one of the most hip
Sorry to burst your bubble (not sorry) but Obama is a failure as a president and thanks to his disgraceful time in office you can expect not to see another black president in your lifetime.
Legion how old are you lol- all of your videos are about video games. I doubt you spend much time at all educating yourself on any topic since you probably spend 80% of your day on steam.
RandomAccount
Nice try.. but those were from years ago and only took up a few days of my time... older and wiser than you are kiddo.
RandomAccount so bc of his channel content you automatically know about his political knowledge? Ever hear "Don't judge a book by its cover"? Its worth a thought.
On the contrary, I think Obama is showing considerable sympathy by attempting to downplay the gravity of the situation and thereby spare the ill reporter of further embarrassment.
If I had vomited in a crowd of people on live national television, that would certainly be my biggest concern, and not the fear of dying. (People get the flu. It sucks, but unless you're 80 years old, you're going to be fine.)
Sympathetic classroom teachers will do this when students get sick in class.
"this isn't about me so i'm going to be indignant"
....Ah, is there a non-Obama-care doctor in the house??
the prez just watched a phyysical reaction to how most of the country feels. ...
Is this how Obamacare works?
Oh, I see. He has his own private Doctor....Must be nice. I thought ALL GOV employees had to follow Obumba care?
I know how the guy feels. I've been sick for 8 years with this clown in office.
Obama Cares
If it were a trump conference, he probably woulda kicked her out for "interrupting"
Either he's really concerned about that person or his teleprompter went blank, lmao.
How dare you get ill and disrupt all powerful Odumbo
Obama made me sick years ago.
Damn Russians
Shifty LMAO
those commies
I've been having that same reaction to Obama's news conferences for the past 8 years!
I like how Obama immediately got off of the stage and helped that poor sick woman, he personally helped lifted her up and guided her to the doctors office through the doors. Very Presidential if he did that, but nah, he just stood there.
For a second I thought it was Hillary
So Fox news blatantly titles it "Gets Sick AT" instead of "Gets Sick During"
I know the feeling well. Every time that I either see or hear Oblowme, I get sick as well.
all the BS that is shoved down our throats for 8yrs, one human in the room had had enough.
Probably passed right the hell out from the overwhelming excitement of this being Barry's last press conference...
Got to love his compassion for people this is not the first I've seen him halt everything for someone's well being
"can somebody do something . . . " sums it up
I hope it was CNN reporter
It's sad 😢 but completely understandable why that reporter got sick. But he already knew that spirit-cooking with with Obamination and Shillary before a press conference could be hazardous to his health. Pneumonia is no joke...
I would be pretty embarrassed to get sick infront of the president
Nothing new, I throw up every time I hear him also.
Still clicked the video tho
best believe Trump would've told the reporter to just suffer in silence and to not bother him 😴😴
Obama's face around 0:40 is priceless.
I love how pissed off he looks... Brings a smile to my face.
#ByeByeObama
#HelloPresidentTrump
Nick Ross Good thing trump supporters are the minoirty in the USA
Lmao idc who you are "go to my doctors office" is bad ass
"News"
You can tell he was not pleased at all with the disturbance in his last news conference as president.
dude. he's a perfect example of what a leader should be. any other politician would've ignored her. This video really made me think about me as a person and who I want to be someday.
Are you kidding me?! He gave her such an evil look and was only concerned about her interrupting him talking. Trump would have stopped everything and walked over to her and sat with her until help came. Obama just stood there like a dick! He is a horrible man and a failure of a president!
Coldcube You're more wrong than the rest of the Obama-deep-throats.
Coldcube lmao, nothing then? Love it when this Political-smartass kids can't find anything to say back.
Touch My Nipples you probably are a kid. I don't care about you or your political beliefs or theories. And mine ain't your business.
Coldcube "Theories" lol. OK child, why don't you go to the RUclips settings and click on the *"delete"* and try to never step on RUclips ever again? You're clearly wrong, have been proven wrong, and now you're speechless without bringing up any sort of valid information that supports your claims.
I hope he has all his bags packed. I'd like to see the video of him leaving the white house.
he's such a good guy
He's a horrible liar and master manipulator... and the worst president in the history of the country.
Legion definitely done nothing 😂
paul harrison why is he a good guy??. cause he said ,"get him out of here?"
No cause he stopped for someone
they r sick of the bs
MAKE REPORTERS HEALTHY AGAIN
ZZS D YES
Take him to "my doctor's office"! Yeah, down the hall, just past the Slurpee machine and the Baskin Robbins.
James Horan You need help.
I hope this person is okay😥
its a plant....aka fake to help obama look good in the end
Kyero oh
Kyero doesn't know the reporter is a plant. Without significant evidence, he could just be lying to push his own narrative. Is it possible that one can fake something like that? Sure, but it would be a useless tactic because most people will not remember these small gestures. The things people will remember are the policies Obama puts into place. Whether his policies are good or bad well, that's a whole new debate.
TimTheThinker idl what yall is talking about....
Wait! Wait! Call the Paralegals!!
I will miss you so much Potus.
Everybody is getting sick of Obama. The cure starts being applied in 35 more days.
Looks irritated that He has to be interrupted from an hour of babbling and meandering and pontificating. Everybody sit down and be quiet. I need to finish explaining things to you.
the russians poisoned that reporter!
29 days until... #Obamagone.
Why is this comment section filled with so much hate? People are saying he looks irritated and mad. People are saying they're not surprised the person got sick. People are saying the same joke every time they leave a comment. I just don't understand. Obama looks like he's really concerned, but doesn't know what to do. Is that really a bad thing? Just because he didn't step down and help the lady to the doctor makes him a bad guy? He asked for help multiple times, he gave them directions, and made sure the doctor was on his way. It looks like he did the best he could in an unexpected situation.
Lol. How appropriate since it's his last press conference. What a perfect ending. LMAO.
not a friendly guy, i can see his brain is squirming like a toad
6hemi9 really how can you see his brain, I can't
Would would Trump have said? "Get her the hell out of here! Get out!"
Barry "Barack Obama" Soetoro makes me gag every time I see his lying face.
reporter vomits at BHO's lies !
he handled that as well as possible
Doctor shows up, "sorry we don't take Obamacare".
Even members of his MSM are choking on him now?
I'm not surprised. Wish she had been close enough to puke right on him. That would have been GREAT!
The reporter realised that this might be the last time the "Free Press" would be "Free" -_____- Goodbye Freedom.
He even fails at trying to act white.
Now imagine if that were Trump, the same guy that ejected a woman with a crying baby from his rallies.
deondre Pilk she was interviewed and said that's not how it happened
Daniel Billotti yeah just like a Trump supporter, loyal to the very end.
deondre Pilk cauhoplmacfbu p l katni💛💛
Fitting. The woman who got sick serves as metaphor toward the feelings of many Americans sick of the Obama presidency.
Hopefully the woman is feeling better though.
Lets see how many people I can trigger with this comment.
*Trump would of made fun of him for being weak and kicked him out*
Come at me Trump supporters!!!
God He wouldn't tell him to get out, that's being too generalist. Remember, Trump, as candidate had to go through a lot for crap, leading to stress. The only people Trump kicked out where the ones causing major disruption. Those who where stopping his speeches by unconstructive opinions at the wrong time.
Better get facts than opinions kid. This is the internet, it's not that hard to do research.
PEOPLE ARE SICK OF bo
I'm gonna miss him...
He's a horrible president!
Ryan Andrew every president will have flaws and be horrible
Faith Moss Really? Is the worst president this country ever had.. but oh well
Annihilhated Yes but he screwed our country in so many ways and spent our money to play golf
