Trump presidency is youtube comments come to life. Everyone's fucked.
ur fucked, ill just hope for an alternate reality.
shin888 you might be
Do you know what's down here!!?!!?? Scroll the fuck back up!!

Good advice for 99% of videos on RUclips
LOL! Thanks for the heads up
Few. Thanks for the reminder.
7 years later, has your attitude changed?
Yes we did.
The work continues. Thank you for you service, Mr President.
Lol did you actually just try and blame obama for the "hate and division in this country"??? You drumpf supporter seem to live in a bizarre alternative universe
Are we in the same america??? Have you forgotten that Bush put us in the insane debt, housing crisis, recession, high ass gas prices. The country's financial state has been the best it's been in 14yrs. I personally have not seen this much construction in 8 years. This country is way better off now than before President Obama took office. President Obama did not create the division of hate. People just started showing their true nature and haters really came to the forefront. I am thankful for that because I would rather know who you really are than you keep hiding and sneaking your hatred. He was one of the most caring Presidents we have ever had. His legacy is that Obamacare is such a wonderful thing. This country would have been better off if there were not so many obstructionist in Congress.
SimplyGimpy We won !!!!!!!........not you.....I mean us Trump fans !.....
Unfortunately, people forget easily... You are 100% right
Work?? Obama hasn't worked a day in his Sorry ass life..
Obama would have done incredibly well if Congress did not say no to EVERYTHING INCLUDING policies Trump is pursuing. Anyone that pays close attention to unbiased politics understands this.
Unlike Bill Clinton, Obama lifted not one finger to make deals with the GOP.
ticarot Obama tried to work with the gop for far too long early on. they were afraid to cut deals with him bc of the crazies in their party
Kendra Jowers that was when the GOP blatantly put party before country. Now the dems are still putting country first by working with this narcissist.
This is one of many reasons why trump is such a horrendous hypocrite when he calls democrats 'obstructionist'. The democrats are opposing horrible and damaging legislation. Republicans would obstruct at every turn solely to make obama a lame duck president. That is all they cared about. They didn't care about whether the policies were good or bad for the people.
Have you ever considered that the American voters KNEW what they were doing when they voted in a GOP majority to stop Obama? Because that's exactly what happened, and they did exactly what they were hired to do.
Evil..fake...void his presidency totaly.
I fully believe I will not see another president as great as Barack Obama in my lifetime. He truly wants to help people, and loves America. Saying he's extremely intelligent understates just how great of a man he is. The benefits of his presidency will be felt for generations.
Thank you, Obama. For making me feel extremely proud to be an American, and thank you for all your work. Merry Christmas!
Good comment. Really insightful. I can see you put a lot of thought into it.
TheTorridestCheese birth certificate is fraudulent
TheTorridestCheese i guess but i think he was a pretty bad president imo
TheTorridestCheese MAGA!!!
The Democrat losses in all areas of Government is the proof of how great a President he was.
I just realized I'm like the only one here that actually likes Obama ....
T whom this may concern many people like oboma.
Not the only one. I think he was kind of a mixed bag, but overall the good outweighed the bad. Will miss his administration terribly-- if the Democrats have any courage left in their corporatist shill hearts, I hope they resist Trump's agenda. It's going to be a long four years.
Many appreciate President Obama. The silly Trump trolls come over to throw shade on anything dealing with the president. It tells you how weak and pathetic they are, just like their new leader.
Jay Rod lol you really think Obama did any good
You guys need to wake up before it's too late
Kyle Pasta he could have done a lot more if the GOP did'nt fight him every step of the way. Any failure to make progress is not on his doorstep
He's s liar and can't be trusted at all he is a fraud
Yeah! Trump is a liar and a moron and now he's Putins bitch .
Lester Ma Obumbo isn't even American.
Lester Ma Lol. I can guarantee you did not even watch 15min of this video.
Kevin Galt how can I watch an fake interview by an agenda agency that supports a total ideological pathetic fraud and get anything from that? Is NPR on your daily viewing? Face it, would you respect your boss if he was really the garbage man and played golf 4 days s week?
Lester Ma So, I'll assume you watched none of it. What exactly is your biggest gripe with Obama? And please be a bit more specific than saying he lies. Also, do you think that Trump is more honest than Obama? This isn't really me being snarky, just curious
"I'll have more flexibility in my next term".... Obama on the hot mic in an interview with Russian leaders ..
This is the worst they have on Obama 😂 great example
WWG1WGA [knowingly] 15:40
LIAR!!!! RIP Seth Rich
Honestly the president is like a human shield people blame him for stuff that's 90% congress' fault
Everything bad about politics is congress's fault, which is why it pisses me off that they have 90% reelection chances
Will Whitworth Trump wants to set an 8 year term limit for Congress.
oh he already changed his mind on that, and the wall, and the clintons (now said they are good people) and draining the swamp - in fact he hasn't even been sworn in yet and he has backtracked the lot :) on the other hand his cronies and no doubt himself through shell companies stand to make billions of dollars just from dropping Russian sanctions and opening up drilling
I'm going to miss him ! He is the greatest president in history !!!
He bombed 7 countries...
Where's the change he promised?????
You people ARE stupid! Tribunals ahead.
MAGA!!!!!!!.......Donald J Trump....President of the United States of America......MAGA
Maggot
Waldo Pepper lol...what's maga?
"Make America Great Again." Don't feel bad, I had to look it up. I voted for Trump too, but only because Bernie had the primary rigged against him/stolen from him.

@FLOWER Massive criminal scandal now huge number of the Hillary emails found. 300,000 on Podesta's computer alone many classified and illegal to be there, felonies. Being handled now by DOJ.
@FLOWER No mercy will be given to you fucking traitors. You're lucky President Trump is doing this with a scalpel because most of us want it done w/ a machete.
@FLOWER you'll be sad
No 🌺 power here! Have fun crying in November.
AND NEVER MENTIONS BENGHAZI
I will never respect Obama.
+Truth Hurts (Anti Bix Nood) I think a majority of America will look back & see that Obama was one of the best Presidents, both in terms of progress, his choice of words & actions. He did what he could considering the Republicans tried to block quite a bit of what he wanted to change. He had intelligence briefings & had to make tough decisions, just like Trump will, so we won't fully know WHY he did what he did for a long time. Usually, the FBI releases some classified documents about 25-30(?) years after the event. In MY opinion, he was one of the best President's America has had. Each person is entitled to their own opinion, however, and can politely disagree with me if they want. But I will say this: the man definitely knew how to speak & bring people together, whether through laughter or during times of mourning.
MrAstroman2 at least you're not trying to attack me personally like a lot of liberals are on youtube and other places. thanks for being polite and actually respectful.
Matt J I do and I'm an American
Truth Hurts I think your just mad because he's black
Truth Hurts And the fact that he legalized gay marriage, gave health-care to the low class society and brought the unemployment percentage down ... but yeah, just look at the color of his skin, it's a great argument.

@Small Dolphin yea. Let's see what happens.
When you put speed to 1.25 it still sounds like a normal person talking :D
That's because he's measuring every word, the question is why?
@@carlosbernalism because he was an accessory to treason
I even listened to it at 1.5 speed, and it sounded normal. As a lying LAWYER, he knows very well that he has to carefully think about every word he speaks. Compare that to Trump who says consistent things at all his rallies in a normal speech pattern. Because as Trump speaks the TRUTH, he doesn't have to worry about every little word.
He has to keep waiting for his handler's prompts coming into his microchip.
I mean its like scraping finger nails on a chalkboard.
Traitor in Chief.
Thank you for saving us from our economic crisis in 2008 President!
Delusional? I'm just educated about history, something that you need. Thank the Fed and Obama for the economic recovery.
I'll outline it for you:
Auto Industry Bailout
AIG Bailout
Bear Sterns Acquisition
If he didn't step in, we would of folded, Ford, GM, Chrysler would have gone out. AIG was bankrupt from the CDO's that it insured. Investors, homeowners,and your banks would have collapse. This meant depression if no government intervention. I'm not sure what you mean, bring some evidence.
So Tesla would have become the biggest domestic car manufacturer :)
Michael Basham
Spending 8 trillion dollars " to get us out of the 2008 economic crisis" should not be commended.
The Pixel Dude yes I agreed. Thank u
Did you know that President Trump said he wouldn't take the $400,000 a year salary as President? He is only accepting $1.00 a year! Only a handful of Presidents have done this... one of which was our first president, George Washington!
The American Superman bullshit
Cristian Arteaga: Look it up
i will
Jeed: Yeah... not in it for the money like all others.
if you think people become president for the money....ur stupid. They get paid more by writing books, and paid speeches., etc.
Always lieing, always talking in code, always a ulterior motive, never ever just gives it straight aka telling the truth
You'll get four years of that coming up. See what changes. Nothing
Oh yeah and Trump is the picture of ethics and morals . You stupid people are in for a long winter. He's not bringing any jobs back . TRUMP IS PUTINS BITCH AND GOING TO MAKE EXXON MOBLIE EVEN RICHER.
How dare a president talk in more than basic sentences! And if you're a trump supporter I wouldn't be getting too indignant about a politician not telling the truth.
JR. YOU ARE SICK. OBAMA IS LIER.!
name me 1 president that ever spoke truthful to the media???your answer is none. they do whatever the fuck they want to do and you do whatever the fuck u wanna do cuz u aint going to do shit anyway. if u have a problem, go to college, major in politics and run for fuckin president....other than that yoir comment wont affect shit
Well this has certainly not aged well. Buckle up folks...it's about to get real. Where we go one, we go all.
We went from having a respectable leader, to a jerk that shouldn’t even be the mayor of a small town 😭😂🤦🏾♂️ Obama would’ve destroyed trump had they gone head to head.
One of If not one of the most corrupt... Presents ever! Or leaders world wide.. follow the money .. at Tax payers expenses
I think the same thing !! Obama was just too good at debating... too smooth, too witty! Trump is a mess on stage imo! I’d pay to see Obama rip him apart tho
obama is an effiminate pompous slob.
@@j.g.c.2494 Wow! You must have wracked your brain to come up with that insult!😁
We're back to Obama fuel pump prices again! Hell yeah.
His manner of speech places people in a mild transitory state of consciousness. In fact, he’s very skilled at this. Please listen with caution...
It's a type of hypnosis speech pattern, it's why his followers only were interested in his words not outcomes.
Only if you don't know exactly what he is.
Patriot ThankQ yes!!! It’s proven by the complete bull$&@ that comes out of his mouth...
Patriot ThankQ he is a sooth sayer
Please send Trump and his team to Guantanamo Mr. President.
TRUMP NOW !!
shpongloidia youre kidding, right?
shpongloidia We won !!!!!!!!.......not you....I mean us Trump fans......sorry
+Perverto Romantico he tried to but people in congress, other foreign leaders, people in the pentagon, and even others in his administration wanted otherwise. This was a very polarizing promise and he needed the unanimous support of everyone to close git mo down.
shpongloidia Lol I am sure some laws will be broken by Trump and his cabinet I am waiting to see if they break REAGANS record of more of his cabinet going to prison than any other president in our history
Goodbye, Barack. I imagine when holding the mantle of the presidency there are times you have to make decisions that will positively affect others, while negatively affecting others, but I truly believe you always had the best intentions for Americans, it's a shame I can't say that for the future president who has already blatantly made it obvious his policies will only benefit one group of people: the wealthy. But thank you for everything, I can truthfully say due to your policies my life has improved for the better, I will always be grateful for that. Stay safe and best wishes, Obama.
videocreator970 thank you

Meanwhile, your candidate has taken up with one of our oldest enemies and one of the biggest threats to our nation: Russia. I'm going to estimate that your IQ falls below 100 and your main news source is Fox News. You're a typical "southern-fried" ignoramus and I am actually ashamed to even share the same soil with people like you.
Ridiculous. And that comment about his wife shows just how classy you are. At least he didn't get her out of a box labeled RealDoll.
Fuck me, that was nearly all one sentence. Then the dumbass begins the second run-on sentence with a conjunction.
Obama fans...

"And I take some responsibility for that"
The biggest difference between Obama and other presidents. Clinton, Bush, Trump.
He admits when he makes even the most minor of mistakes without even needing pressure from the media, and is humble despite his station. What an amazing man.
Obama is humble? Obama makes only minor mistakes? Dog, wake the fuck up.
How delusional can you be hahaha. If Obama wasn’t black he wouldn’t get cut anywhere near as much slack as he does, fact. Terrible president.
That’s a nice alternative reality you’ve constructed there
Amazing and gifted he is
I literally cannot stand this neoliberal right wing bullshit from Obama.
Trump would never be able to withstand such a long in depth interview and remain comprehensible. Five minutes - perhaps ten minutes but then he would be gone.
I love this man, he had such a high level of class and I feel a lot of the hate he got from many republicans and conspiracy theorists (hello Q) was out of a place of envy for the intellect and leadership he possessed. This is not to say he was perfect, no one is, and to expect that is blasphemous because no one is perfect and has flaws. I certainly felt a lot safer with president Obama in office protecting my country and I than I do today.
I would like to see Obama in a Goodwill Ambassador role in the Biden administration travelling around the world spreading his intelligent view of international relations
what do you admire his color?..easy life..he hates his father, changes his name to a barry soetoro, hated America love Cuba, Iran, was extremely weak with Russia, China and every country in Europe..he won a noble for the potential things he will do...lol...Isis was flourishing with the taxpayer's money he gave to them. plus all the media was kissing him, while this weak guy attacked the president-elect over lies...obama was brief by the CIA about Hillary framing TRUMP in order to hide her private server "deleted" emails crimes. and he has the guts to lie to the world. ...AND WAS ELECTED WITH WHITE PEOPLE VOTES. REMEMBER THE MINORITY THING? what did he do for his people? nothing..still doing nothing..just living like a millionaire...
@Denise Eugene fanatic..you need to live out of your bubble. I know what is to live in socialism..is bad, you need to learn ..
HIS NAME WAS SETH RICH.
Was?
I am proud to be able to say I voted for this classy, brilliant man, President Barack Obama..... twice :) He did a wonderful job & he deserves the respect of everyone. He WILL BE DEARLY MISSED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA HAS A LOT OF INNOCENT BLOOD ON HIS HANDS.....THERE IS NOTHING CLASSY ABOUT THAT...ALSO, WHAT WAS THE CHANGE HE WAS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT?......MAYBE POOR PEOPLES INSURANCE GOING FROM 5000 TO 12000 A YEAR?

Who can speak above a 4th grade level creating full complete sentences without using the same adjective repetitively....articulate full and complete ideas, without jumping all over the place with scattered, incoherent, unrelated thoughts. The contrast will be blinding. And the achievements will suddenly be seen SO MUCH BRIGHTER!!! Thank you President Obama and First Lady Michelle!!!!!!! You will be GREATLY missed!!! Love and gratitude to both of you!!!!!

The way Obama speaks about topics are memorizing. the thought that goes into each word is astounding. then you listen to Trump speak, it's like hearing a 5 year old speak about how they think the world works. sad times are upon us. President Obama, i (we) will miss you. you will be remembered as one of the best Presidents the US has had, despite what others say about you.
You call a spade a spade. If you hear a thoughtful person you know and when you hear a wreckless personality you also know
I would love to see more long-form content like this on RUclips.
you can look uo Obamas long form certificate of birth and pick out the fake parts
@13:40- There is something about our political ecosystem (and we're all a part of it..) that leads us to avoid going deep into the issues that are really gonna affect peoples day to day lives (kids going to college or veterans trying to get benefits). That instead puts a premium on "shiny objects, faux scandals, trumped up controversies and insults flung back and forth." If we don't focus on how that happens we are a body already weakened and that then becomes more vulnerable to manipulation and demagoguery.
How much different this commentary is than the vitriolic statements flung back and forth in this comments section...use your intellect and freedom for good, always look to do better. Be incisively and intellectually curious as to how to make things better. Thank you President Obama for your service and dedication to a higher ideal that we should all be striving for every day of our lives.
At 30:00, immigration executive order.... what a clusterf#c# he created.

That was an excellent interview. Thank you, NPR, and thank YOU, Mr. President; you will be sorely missed!
Oh shit, a lemming writes in.
Mr President, I appreciate you clearing up many issues that I've had worries about, but at the end of the day we still needed Hope and Change, we didn't get it from you - we are still waiting for those ideas to manifest into reality. Your focus on Obamacare, Transgender, Sheltering Mexican Migrants and Syrian Refugees, Climate Change, Federal Regulation, has not help middle class America - we are worse off now after your 8 years in office. Please try to understand this. ++ Americans as whole do not believe Russian Hacking lost election for Hillary Clinton. It's proven that Mainstream Media is guilty of FAKE NEWS, especially CNN, and the NY Times. I do not read or listen to those two news outlets.
Anytime Barry speaks, change your RUclips settings to 1.5 speed. You're welcome.

It is a valid point Obama makes.. that when he came to office.. he had inherited a massive mess. There was a lack of distributed wealth, and so infrastructure was neglected...people with basic needs to survive were walking the streets and in many cases living on them... and international relations were swept into the abyss. The reputation of the US abroad was in tatters with transgressions in Iraq .. torturing of prisoners...and like we have now a country that was full of fear and anxiety. And Obama made changes that were not heard of, because they were not bells and whistles or flashy changes. he addressed micro and macro changes. The media forever looking for headlines... only reported what they thought was not done. People wanted improvement instantly. Now, we are seeing the rewards of Obama's efforts, for which Trump is taking credit.. a fall in unemployment and rise in wages... nothing at all to do with Trump, who if anything, has sent a wrecking ball into all the recovery and reform of Obama. A public that was devastated by Bush.. given treatment by Obama...as best he could in his allotted time.. and now before the recovery can fully take place .. Trump has everyone being reckless once more. Governance has declined into sound bites. where the current regime is in election mode instead of governing. Trump won by default... and false promises .. and an unfair assessment of Obama's time in office. Obama apart from inheriting a mess, had to fight the spoilers in the congress, and among the elite and powerful. In other words, if we can not govern.. we will not let you govern. We will make it so the only change you can implement is through Presidential veto..and we (and they did) will hold the country to ransom by blocking supply.. an act which reinforces the bent of the conservatives to care more about politicking than governance. On that basis alone the public should have rejected a conservative govt.. for holding the nation hostage. Trump has no vision or policies for the country. His agenda is simply undoing anything that he thinks elevates Obama... and showcasing like a TV reality show everything he does, which is not reform, simply the politics of fear.. build a wall.. isolate America.. condemn immigrants.. perpetual fear and anxiety to create fervor and then portend to protect the public. Hopefully, we will see either an impeachment on the grounds Trump is unfit for office.. and at the very least he will occupy (because he does not serve) for one term. Lastly, we should take heed, those of us who are indignant at Trump's churlish and reckless behavior that is amoral and derisive, is to make sure we prevent it happening again, to sure up all the instruments that prevent a Bush or Nixon, or Trump winning by default and deceit.
One of the greatest presidents ever! Articulate, measured, and profoundly sincere... probably the hardest working president since Lincoln. Rushmore make space.
There's a lot of things I just didn't agree with during this admin. Voted for you during 2008. But, just can't help not liking this man as a person.
Damn, Dawn... Were you ever duped. Barack turned out to be America's most divisive and most corrupt president of all time. We now know he was deeply involved in the coup attempt. In fact, his own CIA director, John Brennan, told him in a handwritten memo that it was Hillary who was behind the Trump-Russia collusion hoax as a means for diverting Americans' focus away from her illegal private server email activity. Listen to Obama lie and spin in this interview. Wow.
@@jackj5368 how on Earth was Barack Obama involved in the January 6th coup attempt?
@@jackj5368 Also there was no hoax. Did you forget ""Russia if your listening..." that was on tape.
@@Sara3346 ... On July 28, 2016, Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, admitted to Obama that Hillary Clinton concocted the "Trump-Russia-Collusion" hoax, including paying for the fabricated dossier put together in large part by Christopher Steele. Trump supporters suspected as much, but Trump's man John Ratcliffe, on October 6 declassified Brennan's handwritten memo, which included enough redactions to confirm this news. Of course, our anti-Trump media and the corrupt Democrats did their best to ignore the huge, breaking news story when it was released, accusing Ratcliffe of spewing misinformation (much like they did when news about Hunter Biden's laptop was released). IT...WAS...A...COUP, Sarah. A long, four-plus year coup in which Trump's predecessor was deeply involved in. You'll also will want to look into Obama's January 5th oval office meeting in which he conveyed his directive to both James Comey and Sally Yates for: (1)f how best to frame General Michael Flynn (because Flynn knew too much); and how James Comey would leak contents of the fake Trump dossier to the media, and how Comey would inform president-elect Trump about the fake dossier (which Comey did the very next day, January 6th). Surely all that I've quickly summarized for you isn't new, right?
You stupid, ignorant fuck,@@Sara3346. I attended that same rally in which candidate Trump sarcastically said that. Damn....you're as ignorant (or corrupt) as the rest of Trump's enemies. Russia did not hack Podesta's emails. It was an inside job (within the DNC) by a person who's allegiance at that time was to Bernie Sanders. You may recall that the Democrat Party and Hillary were both treating Bernie unfairly while making certain that Bernie couldn't possibly win the nomination. Damn...this is all so old news; surprised people really still think as you, apparently, still do. IT WAS A COUP. And what's frightening....our DOJ is far too corrupt to do anything about it, either. I hold no confidence that John Durham will hold the guilty accountable. Dark days ahead for our country. China's puppet (brain-dead Biden) was who they wanted in the White House. WE'RE FUCKED.
I like Obama but listening to him unless your ready to hear ALOT of talking is AGONIZING! Has he ever heard of a short answer. I could've answered all these questions in seconds, not minutes
His voice changed.. its kind of chilling...
Wow, since I've only ever heard Steve's voice on the radio, I'm surprised how different he sounds!
President Trump: "when I'm finished it will be like you were never here"
OBAMA WAS A BAD PRESIDENT BECAUSE I SAID SO. HERE IS NO EVIDENCE BUT IM YELLING SO IM RIGHT.
There actually IS plenty of evidence for those that want to look... Just like there was PLENTY of evidence BEFORE he was elected... the media gave him a total pass... total 100%...
Plenty of proof. But whenever its presented, people look the other way. This guy got a free pass on everything. Obama took office during a painful recession and (with Congress’s help) made it even worse. Historically, the deeper a recession, the more robust the recovery that follows, but the economy’s rebound under Obama was the worst in seven decades. Annual GDP growth since the recession ended has averaged a feeble 2.1 percent, by far the puniest economic performance of any president since World War II. Under his 8-years, millions of additional Americans fell below the poverty line. The number of food stamp recipients soared. The national debt doubled to an incredible $20 trillion. According to the Pew Research Center, the share of young adults (18- to 34-year-olds) living in their parents’ homes is the highest it has been since the Great Depression. Great job, proof, but I'm sure this will not suffice.
Wallace Dunn The press gives no one a pass!! Obama did a lot for this country
@@NennieC123 Name two things besides his awful economy and stoking racial division.
@@furburglar2
Obama got us out of a recession. Also, race relations are better than they've ever been, although these relations are trash. Stop being a moron.
Jesus these comments are disgusting
I know... I thought they would all be adults on here but I rarely see an adult speaking..Im hearing cursing, foul language, and arguing, and whining....Smh...
Lisa Johnson and racial slurs
Now you know why Trump was elected. His followers are just like him, disgusting!
Think then Think now.
Obama: Q'd and screwed
Hello Maureen
Love you President Obama .... You will be dearly missed. God help us with the idiot that's about to enter the WH !!!!!!
You got it wrong. Obama is the idiot who is the one leaving the office.
joe m WRONG! Trump is the real idiot. Also I saw topless pics of his wife. Yay bewbs. How classy is the new First Lady? Not very: is the answer. I answered for you because I can tell you're intellectually challenged.
Regardless of how we all feel about Barack Obama and what he did/didn't accomplish while as President, can we at least all agree that OVERALL (cause every President does have some failures) the United States of America is in a better place because of his presidency?
I am a democrat but I will put political bias aside for this critique (for the most part). Yes, ObamaCare did have its problems, the national debt nearly doubled, Guantanamo Bay has still not been closed, ISIS became a military problem, North Korea is a bigger threat than ever, and shootings are seen as a bigger/more common problem in our society today. Also, he pledged to bring the political parties in Congress together and be a unifier President, but (whether it was his policies or the decisions by the Congress) that didn't happen. There were plenty of failures during the last 8 years, even his biggest supporters won't deny that.
With that said, he does have many accomplishments, even with these failures; millions of people now have healthcare, Osama Bin Laden and many terrorist leaders are dead, the wars started by George W. Bush ended, Guantanamo Bay's prison population has been reduced to only a handful, and race-issues can't just be ignored like they used to be in our society. The unemployment rate is lower than it was during George W. Bush's 2nd term, the auto, banking, and housing industries have recovered from the greatest crisis since the 1930s, we have begun re-establishing relations with Cuba and Iran for the 1st time in decades, and the U. S. brought the whole world together on global climate change agreements. Furthermore, every LGBT citizen can legally marry, more states have legalized medicinal marijuana, women's pay wage gaps have decreased, he put 2 women on the Supreme Court, and millions of Hispanic and Islamic immigrants have become citizens. These were a lot of difficult issues to deal with in just 8 years, and even when the majority of politicians and citizens disagreed with this man he never gave up trying to make our country better despite many setbacks.
Overall, was Barack Obama a perfect President? No, I will admit that he did have some failures, though he shouldn't be blamed for every bad thing that happened during his Presidency. Is the country as a whole better off now than it was in January of 2009? Yes, but we still have more we need to come together on (Democrats, Republicans, and Independents) to keep making progress to improve the lives of every American. Finally, in terms of being the 1st African-American President, he did the best he could despite the prejudice and racism he faced. Plus, regardless whether you personally liked this man or not, he leaves office with a decent approval rating with more people liking him than those that don't.
While we don't know how many of his accomplishments or failures will be remembered in the near future, as a whole Barack Obama will be seen as the 1st African-American President that made this country better than it was when he started despite opposition and uncertainty; that (in my opinion) will be his legacy!
Thank you Sir. This was a well written and honest look at the last 8 years. No racism, no bias. The good and the bad. Its what we all need to be doing.
6 months later and watching this again makes me miss/appreciate his presidency even more.
No.
I REMEMBER LISTENING TO OBAMA'S LAST INTERVIEW ON MORNING EDITION 12-20-2016
Look here (Russia) - don't look here (China).
His non-sequetor at 17:15 is most puzzling. If there was nothing in there that was "particularly controversial", then why was it negative coverage and how would it have benefited Trump? Oh and his name was Seth Rich.
Who's busts are in the background? 21:37
Also, this is the first video I've ever had to watch at 1.75x playback speed. lol

Q
Did he just say "Islamic Terrorism"!!!
I respect you Obama thank you for caring so much.
You respect a Russian agent? Get your life together.
Informing, important and intelligent, watching the last 3/8ths of it
what pre amps do they use for the mic's? sound quality is great
Americans will realize looking back in the canon of history how important this man was! And what he contributed
What did he contribute? We've already passed by his 8 years of malaise and we're all better for it.
Oh yeah Americans now know how he tried to sell out America. Stop watching this crap & research for yourself & you too will find every one of his scandals
All better? Shootings every week is in every way better
Dumbass, his name isn't even Obama...it's Barry Soetero the Traitor in the House
You are high AF
This "great orator" is almost as bad as Sleepy Joe when he doesn't have his prepared speech. 💤
Btw, Q sent me! This traitor is going to the gallows!!!
"Focus on my afterlife" ...... 🤔 great idea.
Thank you so much,
President Obama is the kind of president that you send overseas and not worry about the president insulting world leaders not to mention calling them names. Why have a huge staff and not listen to them?
btw---Q sent me!
