Those "uh" pauses are called "vocalized pauses" and when I was in Air Force ROTC at the University of Illinois, each and every one of them was counted against your grade!
When vocalizing an idea, using an "uh" or "um" is greatly unfavored as they screw up the flow and show a sign of low preparation. Obama is a great speaker regardless, but using filler words like that should be discouraged, since they are not good practices to pick up.
@@triplethreatcga2358 It's an interview, not an official speech. Even though the questions have been anticipated prior to the talk (and I'm not sure of this) it's a good thing that he's reasoning and constructing a logic before answering. Don't you think so?
This how a grounded and well read person talks. Read your book. Now I am hearing it again. Can,t wait for the next one. Thank you for being our President. Miss you Obama.
Great human being, with a greater leadership quality with wisdom ; who’s also a great social influencer , as well as a great role model to the younger generations across the global community . As a grandma of two year old , I hope , she’ll look for a role model in His Holiness The Dalai Lama and in you ; Mr. President. May you both live a strong , happy and , a very healthy long life to help make sure this world is a better living place for all living beings. 🙏🏽♥️
Obama was as weak as water and full of bullshit. He let Crimea be invaded and let women and kids be killed by chemical weapons even when he said that was going over the "line". Talk . talk ..talk and full of bullshit.
I am an immigrant, who came to USA as a student in 1962. From Kennedy to Trump, I have enjoyed their achievements. With your humble background and success, you will be admired, and respected for setting an example for future generations waiting for recognition.
A Promised Land was a incredible read, so much humility, truth, honesty in every word, I felt like I was on the journey with Mr. President Barack Obama 👏👏👏
Excellent book! I recommend it to every American who is truly concerned for our country after the last 4 years of Trump’s reign. We made it out but we are truly scarred.
Thank you for a informative interview The interview gives clarity on the future and what needs to be done properly for the future generations to live in quality with confidence with love and compassion
How did we go from one of the best presidents we've ever had to not only the worst president but the most horrendous human being ever? Thank God Donald is leaving
Yep. Ask the Libyan people who had their country destroyed or all the peoples heads who were sawed off because his foreign policy allowed for the creation of Isis and his rules of engagement made it so we couldn't stop Isis as their caliphate grew and grew. Trump promised to deal with Isis promptly and that's what he did. He smashed Isis and took 100% of their caliphate. Ask Isis which president they preferred. You know they preferred Obama. I prefer Trump.
A president that gave Iran $150 Billion dollars that was used agains his own country? That’s education. Prepared to go to Martha’s Vineyard with that corruption money. Sane because he is trying to get a 3ed term in office to continue to destroy a country that he obviously completely hates.
I request American politicians to force Pfizer to share covid vaccine know how to rest of the world. This is not the time to do business. Please for the world humanity do it.
He is one of my last favourite American President from George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, J F Kennedy and last but not least Loving one is Brack Obama. Ok. Really, I Love him! A Love 💕 from India Chhattisgarh Bilaspur. All the best!
@@heytam7162 I don't limit knowledge by reading only the bible I also read different books to broaden my knowledge and understanding.I'm a believer who understand the Bible well. Reading Obama's book would not make me to be a sinner.
for as long as the Republican party exists, racism is here to stay. more parties allow the citizenry more choices how we live our lives. it is more likely that the house of Griffindor can work well with Ravenclaw and Huffle Puffle but not Slytherin. The republican Slytherin's influence will be contained.
Wow! It's mind-blowing that America went from an intelligent, thoughtful decent man who can discuss the writings of Whitman and Gandhi and the structure of his book with other writers ... America went from that to Trump???!!! Truly astounding. What does it tell you about America when so many would STILL vote for the Orange Creature again. MAGA?
Amazing writer & great interview questions. Read POTUS all 3 books and A Promised Land allows me to experience the intricate, complex work of a President (prior, during & even after) as if you’re right beside him throughout the story. He modeled James Baldwin’s “Fire Next Time” in brevity and depth explaining today’s issues. I’m moved by the way Pres. Obama shared his insight even flaws with humility & authenticity.
Nice successful family............where there's a will there's a way....President Obama has proved that coloured people whether Black or brown need not be an obstacle to being successful.........I have four brothers and a sister in the U.S.A........four of them doctors ...one engineer....all are successfully placed..........we are brown Indians ........God bless the beautiful white race they made it hsppen ......my husband also a doctor refused to move out of Mangalore in india and I got stuck here ........India is a developing nation s contradicting society...difficult to cope not many like-minded people who are poles apart in the quality of schooling and higher education .....illiteracy and lack of quality education becomes a bane_ for people like us who have had quality education ........,there's too much interference in personal lives of people...all politically motivated...our polititions are fighting tooth and nail against globalisation...........a classless lot!!!
You need to put in a concept of a fiction, to get it written in forever. That way, you troll series structures of fiction, throughout your family's descent. I'm descended from Mordred, Robert the Bruce; England's first pot dealer to hit it rich.
Blessings to you Sir, thank you for your obedience. This book Promised Land, is by divine confirmation God spoke, you listen, and obeyed. But be aware the tribe of Judah will go forward without the tribe of Benjamin they are not prepared. They are responsible for holding back the prophesies of God and the Revelation of Jesus Christ for his church.
I do really want to read the book but i am not living in the us and either live in country the its been in tourism list without infact done a tourism no longer since years wt do i doo for god sake
This IS a President as a Scholar; do we NEED a head-bowed President? NO. It's 1st sign they want us cut , cut up, in order to make us weak. WE as Americans NEED renissance people. We need L_dies who can mind the castle as well as the Marovinginan who is away to help. WE need pact respectors, if not enforcers. er optional, that means servant word code.. not me. We shoudl have no needs or wants, of the people. WHEN in Deuteuronomy required 1 of 10 first fruit, that meant that ONLY 1, the first born, should be married, for each 10 able to be recruited to any organization without excessive tax. LUve MY President too, Obama, but not his L_dy's having to deal with known HOGGS, so much. Frankly any L_dy who wants to be ruled by Luv, SHOULD not like me. I had both WHITE CUpid adn BLACK cupid to know and have to defeat before I moved on.

@@MALLYGEEZ1 He’s condescending when he disagreed with .The media never push him or ask him hard questions. He’s just as arrogant and egotistical as Trump. He’s just sly about it . Self absorbed ? It’s mostly a vibe for me . 🤷🏽♂️
@@Antoncj4280 What hard questions do you think they should have asked him? I've seen people ask him many. He's nothing like trump. Trump is childish. Trump attacks anyone who disagrees with him. In public or on Twitter. Trump incites violence. Obama has never done any of that. I've seen people in crowds yelling at Obama. One time a old vet was yelling at him. And Obama defended the man to the crowd. Trump tried to destroy people who disagrees with him. And bully them. I've seen Obama be disagreed with several times. And have a intelligent conversation about it. Trump doesn't do that. Trump whines and runs away. And gets on Twitter going nuts.
@@MALLYGEEZ1 I don’t think Obama he gets asked hard questions . He’s very arrogant and petty in his own way. Not in an obvious way like Trump . I don’t like Trump . I’m not a making a black and white , East and west comparison between Trump and Obama . Obama is a snake in my opinion. That’s just my opinion.
@@Antoncj4280 Yea, I know that's not what you're doing. But Obama and trump are nothing alike. I've laid out why. With their actual actions. Not my feelings about them. The same way you want people to judge you. Not by their feelings. People act on their baseless feelings with no evidence behind it. As I've said, I've seen Obama be asked questions that have to do with his actions and his words. I don't know what a hard question is. You either answer the question about your words and deeds or you don't. Trump has proven he can't do that like a adult. I've seen Obama pushed. And he has a normal intellectual conversations about it. Like a mature emotionally stable person.
I appreciate those "uh" pauses more than ever. It means he's thinking before he speaks. It's a refreshing quality.
Those "uh" pauses are called "vocalized pauses" and when I was in Air Force ROTC at the University of Illinois, each and every one of them was counted against your grade!
You can see it in his face whenever he does it as well. You look at his face, and see the gears turning. Just him choosing his words very carefully.

Amazing questions from both ladies 😍
Question is amazing or ladies are amazing or both of them?
People can hate him or love him but he was one of best and kindest presidents the US ever had
PEACE ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 AND PRAISE PRESIDENT OBAMA 🙏 🙌 ❤️
Come through Mr. PRESIDENT!!! Hear him say around 44.20 mark... what was that aggression supposed to look like and the outcome of said aggression.
