Джейсон Хичкок Hes a harvard law graduate, that was elcted twice to be President. Putin is an ex KGB spy who weasled himself into politics and became and for over 20 years robs the country blind with the help of his loyal ex KGB, ex-mafia friends. These criminals litterally screw over millions of Russians, they rob future generations of their future and you are ok with it. Thats just sad.
“I’ll be honest with you, I’m just bullshitting my way through here. Hey, I get a paycheck at the end of the day right? The fck do I know about all this computer stuff leave that to the IT guys….”
When they say “ Look “ before they speak it’s going to be a big lie. They don’t you to listen, they want you to look 👀. Obama’s favorite word before he said anything was “ LOOK”
Can you imagine if Trump was asked this question: "Well George, Putin's a very smart man. Certainly smarter than all the Presidents that came before me, that's for sure. I mean we had some real lousy ones. And you know what? Putin said I was a smart man, smarter than even him really. So it has to be true. I mean if he's smart, and he's saying I'm smart, then it means I'm really smart. So how could I underestimate him if I'm that smart? In fact, if anything, I would say I overestimated Putin. That's the opposite of underestimating someone. I overestimated Putin like frankly you've never seen before. The intelligence agencies would come to me and say "Sir, we think you're overestimating Putin too much." And I would tell them, "are you kidding me?" you can never overestimate Putin enough, he's a smart guy. They had no idea, our own intelligence agenices! Can you believe that?! What a shame, sad really.. I mean never in the history of this country has one President overestimated a foreign leader like Putin as much as I have. But no really, me and Putin have a good relationship, maybe even a great relationship. Some say, perhaps, the greatest relationship. Putin was the one who asked me to build a Trump Hotel right in downtown Moscow. He even offered to have his electricians do all the electronic wiring in the building, completely free of charge. I mean how great is that. What a stand up guy. He's always listening to me. And the media bashes him. Here's a guy who should be a friend of America and you guys just publish fake news about him and frankly, fake news about me. It's unfair really. I mean no President has ever been asked tougher questions in the history of this country than I was. And then you repeat my answer to the questions verbatim on the 6 o'clock news and make me look terrible. It's a disgrace. You look at the Russian media and they love Putin. They love their President. You never see anyone criticizing him. And I did a better job than he did, so why do I get attacked by fake news. But, let me tell you if I were still President this invasion would have never happened. I would have called him and said look Vlad, can you do me a favor and maybe just not invade Ukraine? And you know what I think he would have listened. I think he would listen to me because we're great friends, tremendous friends actually. And we're both incredibly smart leaders, who understand the world. Did Sleepy Joe even try asking Putin not to invade? Maybe he did, but Putin doesn't respect him. He would have respected me though, I know he would have. You know I truly believe, and other people tell me this all the time, smart people too, they come up to me and say that if I were President in 1941, Pearl Harbor would have never happened. The Japanese would have known not to mess with Trump. I would have had our scientists making that Atom bomb faster than they made the covid vaccine, in record time, like you've never seen before, you better believe it. It wouldn't have taken 4 years to drop that bomb. I would have had that bomb ready within months to drop. That big beautiful bomb. And I would have had "T R U M P" printed right on the outside of it in big bold letters so they all knew who it was from. And we wouldn't have tested it on our soil either. I mean how stupid was that? We would have tested it in Mexico. That place is already a shithole. Hitler would've have turned his tanks right around and went home if he saw that Trump bomb. Putin said we both would have made great Presidents during World War 2. You know even he thinks the 2020 election was rigged. He's a genius, so you know he's right. I mean have you ever seen such a rigged election? He said he hasn't, and he would know. But no George, as much as you and the media want to lie and say I underestimated Putin, I never underestimated him, not even for a second."

Well, it's not a fair battle when you allow all the Russian bots spreading fake news, while in Russia, every news channel that doesn't support the official view risks 15 years of prison.
The difference between Putin and Obama is that Putin takes only 1 minute to explain hour-long worthy complexities and Obama takes 2:32 minutes to lie that he didn't underestimate Putin.
Atleast Obama do not murder dissidents like Putin( Navalny poisoned and all poor russian journalists who are imprisoned). Difference between Putin and Obama are enormous. Putin is a dictator who has been in power for last 20 years, the Corruption in Russia is worst than 3rd world countries like Pakistan. Economy of Russia has been stagnant for last decade. No press freedom or opposition party in Russia. While Obama is a democratic leader who was elected by people vote. America flourished under obama government. So yor are just another Russian troll.
Nope - Obama said something you don’t understand. The age of online misinformation came to be in the same period of time over the last 10 years . If you don’t understand that , that’s okay , you are just part of the false .
The comments below are showing really how people have evolved and cannot be manipulated by the media as easily as they used to be. It seems the IQ of the population is rising and that's bad news for the old guard. Change is coming. Keep it up folks.
IQ or what I call conventional intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Some people certainly have evolved in their wisdom and understanding of what is happening. Which is why they could accept and support someone like Bernie Sander who calls himself a democratic socialist or a Jeremy Corbyn. Is it enough of the population yet? No. Could the evolution be much higher than it is now? Heaven yes. But hopefully things will pick up speed even more. It's also great that there are many alternative news sources. What people need to develop more than anything else is their intuitive abilities, the inner knowing, inner teacher so that nothing on the outside can trick them or mislead them. Now THAT is evolution.
Walid the comments just show retarded people thinking that Putin is a good and honest man and Russia is a nice country, I would pay the tickets to all these idiots and to fly and live there, I have to work in Russia 6 months of a year for my stupid job and I want to kill myself every time, California has 2.7 T of GDP, 40m people, Russian less than half GDP and it's 120 M country, Putin has been in power since 20 years, just because west media makes up stuff and does propaganda, it doesn't mean that's all said is false or that Russia propaganda,is any different, fucking lowtards
We're on the same team unless a president is trying to up end democracy & undermine the values that forced this country into existence. It used to be that the 2 political parties simply had different ways of achieving agreed upon values. The values are entirely different now. There is no common denominator of decency and the idea of what America is has been sold and perverted by one party. Democracy is not a given. It takes hard work. The work is beginning now but if 4 years under an orange would be fascist didn't teach us anything we deserve whatever we get. We should not be blind enough or arrogant enough to think the leadership of this country can't be bought and sold.
Watching in February, 2022. OMG- Did Obama nail this one. The crime is that leaders such as Obama were wise enough to clearly articulate the threats, both with Putin and with the Far Right in America and yet many in the country weren't listening. What a waste.
@C.O. Jones Absolutely. I would have never imagined the country would become so divided. My hope at this point is that somehow the divide can be narrowed via education. I see a constant flow of angry, uninformed comments from the Far Right and keep thinking if they can just be convinced to use facts to form their opinions, the country could begin to have reasonable conversations. One can only hope. Good luck!
I dont believe Russia views the usa's way of life as a threat.. Most probably the threat they see is how Politics are impacting there own national security. Finding the truth means viewing from both perspectives and with as much data you can parse
Because they are the useful idiots in the wet paper sack in the room. Racists. Refuse to keep up with modern history. White supremecists. 'Stuck on stoopid' like the old schoolyard taunt.

Very quick thinker and has a sense of humour. Need to have one to cope with bullies and haters in school, university, the big wide world. Not a bigot. Loved by children and dogs. Always note how they react to adults, very telling. Forward looking. They have never moved forward since the 1940s. Well read. Great all around conversationalist. Respects women and doesn't treat them as objects to be used and abused then dumped for a younger version at the drop of a hat. There is another side but that will do for now.
Crimea was lost under Obama. Syria was permitted to use chemical weapons under Obama. Obama withdrew American forces from Iraq, to fight in Afghanistan. Obama cancelled the F22 in favor of the F35. F35 spending went out of control under Obama. LRSB was signed instead of updating and buying more B2's. Chemical weapons were allowed under Obama.

It s interesting to hear how American leaders are worried about other countries meddling into the American politics whereas American leaders are not aware of the regime changes imposed by American oligarchs around the world.
It was an attempt to keeping his head in the center of the screen, the camera was just moving around too much as it was taken from afar. nothing to assume anything that his sentence was cut or else it would of been noticed easily
from his point of view, he looks at Putin and everyone else. America is constantly openly interfering in the domestic politics of Russia and the whole world, and on the other hand Russia is not interested at all and calls America a partner at every opportunity. Under the auspices of democracy they think everything is allowed, as if it is a good thing they don't ask if they want it all at all, because wherever American democracy has intervened, it has brought misery and suffering to those countries.
As an European, I feel DISGUST to Americans. Who prefer to idolize a Muslim President but hates Putin, a Christian leader who loves his people and his nation. You guys make me vomit. Hate from Europe.
@6EQUJ-5 What, you missed the part where he said where Americans need to start looking at each other as being on the same team because Putin is Not on our team? It's a simple message but it's also accurate - Vlad has certainly fanned the flames of division in the US and the West in general because he thinks we're weak. Then again he also overplayed his hand when he thought he could invade the rest of Ukraine and we'd do nothing... now he can't back down or he'll look weak to his own people. We're really looking down the barrel here... :/
I think the US is more divided than every (obvious & understated). I truly hope we are able to pull together on international incidents. We can debate things internally but must be one nation when it matters.
until hillary was going to win, there was no foreign influence and trump was making excuses about his coming loss. as soon as trump won, russia was interfering. great job!
Now watching after 5 years this interview, meanwhile seeing the happenings and tragedy in Ukraine, it takes you with such a sadness.. Obama was so right then, absolutely tragic what is happening in Ukraine in 2022,
He wasn't so right when he mocked Mitt Romney though was he? Direct quote when Romney listed Russia as the greatest existential threat to America. 'The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back' It's a pity Biden couldn't give the $80 billion USD in military equipment he so ineptly gave the Taliban to Ukraine. Also , remember when the MSM told us that Trump was a Russian operative..... don't recall any invasions during those four years. None by the US and none by Russia. Sigh.
But lets be real for one second, the reason why people are skpeptical towards mainstream news is that it went from news to entertainment. It's clear they take in people to provoke, not to inform and that's what people got tired from. News should be news.
Bruh he literally said he didn't underestimate Putin, but then went on to say how he underestimated him in every capability that mattered. Speaking short and transparently is more intelligent than speaking long and incoherent
I think Putin gives a damn about how american way of life is... but he does care about american bombs and missiles coming nearer to his home town. In that aspect, i am sure both parties are adversaries - right?
He is one of the best Presidents ever. Trump was not presidential at all, which we all knew before he was elected. One of the most important things a president does is lead a country. Trump divided America more than anyone EVER. Trum, the one term president, will go down in history as a liar, and a sociopath. Obama will make history as a man with dignity, integrity, and honor.
obama is a snake in the grass who let Putin take Crimea b/c obama is a coward. and he lied like a dog about Benghazi b/c he got his friend Ambassador Stevens murdered. obama is a dirty twat
1:57 begins the lethal thought process. Speaks of teams, then says Putin is an enemy. Goes then on to say that Putin views America as a enemy and American way of life as a threat, self projection. I don’t think Putin cares much about American “way of life”, he’s pissed at sanctions passed by America and the volatile global temperament being caused by America’s short term benefit with long term backlash way of dealing with situations.
You really just need to do a little research. We live in a different age of communication. There are plenty of documentaries and investigative news stories and factual records from the NSA, FBI, CIA on how other countries have been meddling in our social and political system. If I gave you all the ways, it would be a waste of both my and your time, because you most likely wouldn't believe me. Better to find out those facts for yourself and have less reason to be a skeptic.

Difference between Putin and Obama are enormous. Putin is a dictator who has been in power for last 20 years, the Corruption in Russia is worst than 3rd world countries like Pakistan.
Economy of Russia has been stagnant for last decade.
No press freedom or opposition party in Russia.
While Obama is a democratic leader who was elected by people vote. America flourished under obama government.

The comments below are showing really how people have evolved and cannot be manipulated by the media as easily as they used to be. It seems the IQ of the population is rising and that's bad news for the old guard. Change is coming. Keep it up folks.
Same can be said otherwise too though, but I agree
Human IQ has not changed over the last years. It’s rather the information available that has.
Did you not listen to the interview?!
IQ or what I call conventional intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Some people certainly have evolved in their wisdom and understanding of what is happening. Which is why they could accept and support someone like Bernie Sander who calls himself a democratic socialist or a Jeremy Corbyn. Is it enough of the population yet? No. Could the evolution be much higher than it is now? Heaven yes. But hopefully things will pick up speed even more. It's also great that there are many alternative news sources. What people need to develop more than anything else is their intuitive abilities, the inner knowing, inner teacher so that nothing on the outside can trick them or mislead them. Now THAT is evolution.
Walid the comments just show retarded people thinking that Putin is a good and honest man and Russia is a nice country, I would pay the tickets to all these idiots and to fly and live there, I have to work in Russia 6 months of a year for my stupid job and I want to kill myself every time, California has 2.7 T of GDP, 40m people, Russian less than half GDP and it's 120 M country, Putin has been in power since 20 years, just because west media makes up stuff and does propaganda, it doesn't mean that's all said is false or that Russia propaganda,is any different, fucking lowtards
is horrible how how these so called journalist, push personal beliefs into interviews.
We have to remind ourselves bottom line “we’re on the same team” it does not matter if Obama, Trump or Biden is the president
We're on the same team unless a president is trying to up end democracy & undermine the values that forced this country into existence. It used to be that the 2 political parties simply had different ways of achieving agreed upon values. The values are entirely different now. There is no common denominator of decency and the idea of what America is has been sold and perverted by one party. Democracy is not a given. It takes hard work. The work is beginning now but if 4 years under an orange would be fascist didn't teach us anything we deserve whatever we get. We should not be blind enough or arrogant enough to think the leadership of this country can't be bought and sold.
Yes stick together for the constitution, not to erect a Trump Tower in Moscow.

Watching in February, 2022. OMG- Did Obama nail this one. The crime is that leaders such as Obama were wise enough to clearly articulate the threats, both with Putin and with the Far Right in America and yet many in the country weren't listening. What a waste.
@C.O. Jones Absolutely. I would have never imagined the country would become so divided. My hope at this point is that somehow the divide can be narrowed via education. I see a constant flow of angry, uninformed comments from the Far Right and keep thinking if they can just be convinced to use facts to form their opinions, the country could begin to have reasonable conversations. One can only hope. Good luck!

I never understood why the Republicans hated this guy.
Because they are the useful idiots in the wet paper sack in the room. Racists. Refuse to keep up with modern history. White supremecists. 'Stuck on stoopid' like the old schoolyard taunt. This man is educated. Very well travelled. Lived in at least three countries. Comes from a mixed marriage which the republicans cannot abide. Is a colored man. Another no no. Very quick thinker and has a sense of humour. Need to have one to cope with bullies and haters in school, university, the big wide world. Not a bigot. Loved by children and dogs. Always note how they react to adults, very telling. Forward looking. They have never moved forward since the 1940s. Well read. Great all around conversationalist. Respects women and doesn't treat them as objects to be used and abused then dumped for a younger version at the drop of a hat. There is another side but that will do for now.

It was an attempt to keeping his head in the center of the screen, the camera was just moving around too much as it was taken from afar. nothing to assume anything that his sentence was cut or else it would of been noticed easily
from his point of view, he looks at Putin and everyone else. America is constantly openly interfering in the domestic politics of Russia and the whole world, and on the other hand Russia is not interested at all and calls America a partner at every opportunity. Under the auspices of democracy they think everything is allowed, as if it is a good thing they don't ask if they want it all at all, because wherever American democracy has intervened, it has brought misery and suffering to those countries.

Well he certainly spoke a lot
@6EQUJ-5 What, you missed the part where he said where Americans need to start looking at each other as being on the same team because Putin is Not on our team? It's a simple message but it's also accurate - Vlad has certainly fanned the flames of division in the US and the West in general because he thinks we're weak. Then again he also overplayed his hand when he thought he could invade the rest of Ukraine and we'd do nothing... now he can't back down or he'll look weak to his own people. We're really looking down the barrel here... :/
I think the US is more divided than every (obvious & understated). I truly hope we are able to pull together on international incidents. We can debate things internally but must be one nation when it matters.
Numbers account for nothing. There are a few that have the power and we are just talking sheep. They don’t care what we think.

Now watching after 5 years this interview, meanwhile seeing the happenings and tragedy in Ukraine, it takes you with such a sadness.. Obama was so right then, absolutely tragic what is happening in Ukraine in 2022,
Noted. What is happening in Ukraine today is due to American &:NATO meddling policies. This is a serious geopolitical issue
He wasn't so right when he mocked Mitt Romney though was he? Direct quote when Romney listed Russia as the greatest existential threat to America. 'The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back'
It's a pity Biden couldn't give the $80 billion USD in military equipment he so ineptly gave the Taliban to Ukraine.
Also , remember when the MSM told us that Trump was a Russian operative..... don't recall any invasions during those four years. None by the US and none by Russia. Sigh.

But lets be real for one second, the reason why people are skpeptical towards mainstream news is that it went from news to entertainment. It's clear they take in people to provoke, not to inform and that's what people got tired from. News should be news.

Obama speaks intelligently. It’s refreshing to see. Trump can’t hold a candle up to Obama.
Bruh he literally said he didn't underestimate Putin, but then went on to say how he underestimated him in every capability that mattered. Speaking short and transparently is more intelligent than speaking long and incoherent
Speaking bullshit in a graceful manner😂😂
Reporter: Did you underestimate Putin? Obama: Word salad
I think Putin gives a damn about how american way of life is... but he does care about american bombs and missiles coming nearer to his home town. In that aspect, i am sure both parties are adversaries - right?
I love that President OBama has the highest degree of integrity, character and values.
Hahaha what a joke LOL
He is one of the best Presidents ever. Trump was not presidential at all, which we all knew before he was elected. One of the most important things a president does is lead a country. Trump divided America more than anyone EVER. Trum, the one term president, will go down in history as a liar, and a sociopath. Obama will make history as a man with dignity, integrity, and honor.
Oh thats fresh. You are seriously brainwashed.
obama is a snake in the grass who let Putin take Crimea b/c obama is a coward. and he lied like a dog about Benghazi b/c he got his friend Ambassador Stevens murdered. obama is a dirty twat
1:57 begins the lethal thought process.
Speaks of teams, then says Putin is an enemy. Goes then on to say that Putin views America as a enemy and American way of life as a threat, self projection. I don’t think Putin cares much about American “way of life”, he’s pissed at sanctions passed by America and the volatile global temperament being caused by America’s short term benefit with long term backlash way of dealing with situations.

You really just need to do a little research. We live in a different age of communication. There are plenty of documentaries and investigative news stories and factual records from the NSA, FBI, CIA on how other countries have been meddling in our social and political system. If I gave you all the ways, it would be a waste of both my and your time, because you most likely wouldn't believe me. Better to find out those facts for yourself and have less reason to be a skeptic.
