I’m watching this with a big tear in my eye, remembering what a decent, caring, intelligent, lovely man he is, I’m not even American but current events in your country are sad indeed.Salford uk
The current resident at 1600 will never get this kind of love and respect. Obama was a class act, intelligent as well as compassionate. He set the example for many young people to follow.
This has been an awesome experience for Memphis and especially the kids of 38126. It's really great to see BTW lead again my parents were alumnus and my grandparents were active alumnus this is really awesome. My grandparents marched and fought for rights and change this would be a great reward.
I watch this just to watch the reaction of the kids when he walks in. Such admiration, respect and love. I miss the Obama years. There is no respect given nor taken from the current resident of 1600. Only division and disrespect.
+CNN Why do you address the President of the United States as "Obama" ? I think it is very disrespectful. I was watching some old footage of the first Iraq war. You always addressed the president as President Bush, and even though I dislike him he should be addressed as such.
Yopu need to go back and watch coverage and interviews from the 90s and 00's so you can see that the claim in your statement is not universal and it isn't all the time. The press and the people have ALWAYS alternated between saying President Clinton, President Bush and President Obama and saying Clinton, Bush, Obama.
@@stephaniezimbalist3757 It's not even close. Many times when concerning other presidents they often simply say "the president". With President Obama it was terrible, especially on Faux News. I think this was borne out of rightist racism. Currently President Obama, the 44th POTUS remains the last president. Hopefully the US will get a real president in November. President Biden.
@@trenthogan4212 Faux news is an abomination. They don't even count. I wish mainstream media would have sided with President Obama when he tried to get them kicked out because they aren't a legitimate news organization.They are the shameful, hateful, hypocritical, racist propaganda arm of the Republican party . All that being said, mainstream media regularly referred to President Obama, Obama as they did Clinton and Bush BUT it never had a derisive tone to it like when Faux News would say Obama and when they renamed the Affordable Care Act Obamacare. The mainstream media helped Republicans when they adopted the term Obamacare too. Faux worked hard to convince it's viewership that President Obama was evil so rebranding the Affordable Health Care Act was key to getting those dummies to dislike a program that is in their best interests.
@@stephaniezimbalist3757 Hey, I agree with 90% of what you just said and for the internet that is nothing shy of a miracle!! lol let's just celebrate that as we're obviously on the same team here.
trump's inspirational message to the graduates would have been...."If you weren't born into the right family.......too bad,thats how I became successful' I Miss President and Mrs. Obama
WHY THE FUCK AREN'T MORE SCHOOLS MAKING AN ATTEMPT TO BE BETTER? My high school I just see teachers who don't know what they're doing, teachers in their 20s trying too hard to act like a teacher they forget what they're doing, teachers who give up on students and just kick them out of class, discipline that doesn't work (yeah, keeping a kid in school all day to do nothing is effective.. not) It's disgusting.
The US separates women and men in school since they learned that its better that way and no one bats an eye.. Islam does the same and all hell breaks loose.
liduck52 so it dosnt matter if it works better as long as it has nothing to do with religion right? Muslims had this 1400 years ago but the west is slowly catching up.
Ado Nik All hell usually breaks loose when Islam does more than just the separation thing. From the Taliban who believe women should not go to school, to the Saudi government who believe women should not drive cars...
Troublesome2008 both of the things you mentioned have nothing to do with Islam since both the noble Quran and the hadiths mention no such restrictions.
@Hoodrow37 "I love your debating ability, but I think you have missed my point. One post you say the same things I say. In another you say something totally different." i think your problem might be lack of reading comprehension or that you support a president solely because of his ethinicity without calling anything into question and that fact that you cannot refute the reason why obama has passed welfare to the rich, kept military in the middle east and helped enrich corporate elite.
You really should have listened to the entire segment. That school was "most improved" and they "earned" the presidential visit. Seriously, do you have to make comments like this? I thought the piece was rather interesting. The kid introducing the president was funny. The information communicated by the principal was relevant to everyone.
No Wonder. It is a poor place. You have black's in the city. But if it was a Non-black city he would not have shown up. I dropped out of Highschool.........You do know that a highschool drop out corrected your spelling and grammar? Poor does not mean uneducated. However uneducated write with the cap lock button on ....
+mondovb Poor neighbourhood because? Poor city because? poor state because? They High fived because they beat out another state ? Wow Now throw them up against a 5th grade class from Canada Facts are A high school class from Detroit Mich VS A High school class from Windsor Ontairo in 5 diffrent areas Attendance, SAT, Health Aggression Windsor beat Detroit by 58% overall That means 1 child comes to class on time does not miss a class or misses class due to being sick or is sent home due to flu or head lice. Does his school work and passes the classes without Fighting with the teacher or other school mates or damages the school or is sent to the office ..Detroit Metal detectors screen kids for weapons and police..(none in Windsor) School shootings is on a rise Fights Low SAT scores, Skipping school, School closed for 4 days do to bed bugs out break only to be closed 1 week later due to the same problem These 2 schools are 35 miles apart ............Comma's are not used to start a new sentence. You from Detroit?
That's so awesome; these kids are never going to forget this
Oh man - can you imagine!
I’m watching this with a big tear in my eye, remembering what a decent, caring, intelligent, lovely man he is, I’m not even American but current events in your country are sad indeed.Salford uk
The US is very lucky to have a great President like President Obama. What an inspiring man !
I don't know . McCain might win
They just got lucky again after 4 years
The current resident at 1600 will never get this kind of love and respect. Obama was a class act, intelligent as well as compassionate. He set the example for many young people to follow.
Well done students!!! And the President! Very proud just from one human being to another! :)
Ain't that the truth...you have to feed a hungry child before you can teach!
its amazing what positivity can do to people
the best President ever since George Washington
Fede G.C. Do u remember George Washington? I’m intrigued!,....
Fede G.C. What about fdr harry s Truman jfk and regan?
It’s 2019 and it’s still good to see this footage.Glad that the students at BTW had that experience with the president
its funny to see I'm not the only one searching for inspirational videos of the Obama Years
That was a time, I'll never forget in the 901.
AWESOME!!!! This is something they will never forget. A president who genuinely cares for the people.
A symbol of hope for America

+Trent Hogan This has probably been done in SUA. They are going to be building schools to educate people soon.
