It amazes me that people don't realize what a talented and eloquent orator Obama was. I was proud to have him represent our great country to the rest of the world, he spoke with conviction and passion. I do not look forward to any presidential addresses for the next 4 years, nor reading anything from the President on... can't believe I'm saying it... Twitter.
donald trumpet yes, presidents use teleprompters. trump does too after they found out he couldn't stay on topic for ten seconds without one. just because your followers don't care about facts and careful word choice doesn't mean Trump is even near Obama in public speaking. Obama could say a bunch of bullshit off the top of his head to pump up a crowd but then you'd just have another Trump and we don't have any interest in that.
donald trumpet Oh please Obama has proven many times over & over again that he's an extremely intelligent thoughtful man as well as being a great Orator. Unlike Trump who can barely string a coherent sentence together let alone speak about complex issues with any knowledge, depth or substance. That's the difference between a Harvard Professor of Constitutional Law as opposed to a trashy TV reality star! The fact you think because Obama uses a teleprompter that somehow negates his ability is beyond simplistic & delusional!
Jan Brady Sorry your life sucks so much. You might want to get a new one. Trump really appeals to people who think America is a mess. I guess you don't live in the same country I do.
Yesterday they decided to go through with the impeachment trial over a call to Ukraine THAT is what theyre impeaching him over after 3 years of doing wrong
Omg, you were all so innocent back then! Even just three days ago, before he doubled down and commited another impeachable offense, by intimidating a witness in his own impeachment hearings!
No kiding. I've on a media blackout for a while, but whenever I do check in I always end up in the same place: "I was gone for 4 months.. What did you do?!!". Very sorrel.
Yep, unfortunately it is... Obama may be a lot of things, but he's polite and can understand subtle differences. While it's enough just to observe Trump's facial expressions, in various situations and on different days. There's no subtlety there, just like in the way he talks.
I already miss him and we still have a day to go before he's turned over the keys. I hope he plays a large part in rebuilding the Dems for a counterattack to take back the House and the Presidency over the next 4 years.
Sydplayson We already know exactly what Trump is and thus what to expect. Quit clinging to the desperate hope he'd somehow turn out to be good. Shit never turns into gold in real life. Obama would have been the greatest ever if republicans wouldn't have held him back every way they could.
He will. he will. AND could you imagine FOUR MORE years with that guy......... in the white house and its staff. . suppose to work their ass off, for the American people........... JOKe......
and Bernie had very little name recognition in the early primary states. You can see what was going to happen when you compare Hillary rallies to Trump rallies. The majority wanted Clinton, but it was not enough of a landslide majority, the self assuredness was there but not enough enthusiasm. They coasted in and only got a 3 million vote majority, which was not enough to get over the electoral college gerrymander.
You're gonna miss Obama, you just don't know it yet. Edit: And Trump just made it harder for middle class families, the people who voted for him, to buy homes by reversing Obama's FHA mortgage fee cuts.
I'm from former Czechoslovakia and I know what you mean. That's what "Socialism, heading towards Communism" felt like. I think it's the lack of transparency and dialogue that makes people feel like that. I don't know if that's any help to you, but we still managed to live well during Socialism. Some 30% of what makes a life good was taken away from us and it was terrible, but we still did have those 70%. Humour, hobbies, families and friends meant a lot.

We've been through three different Singularities this year _alone_, and it's still just July. --Dave, and people seem to FINALLY be realizing that Trump is incompetent in general, and has never cared whether what comes out of his hamburger hole is true or not
I just want to thank Stephen and the Late Show for being here with us at these what feel like insane times. Some of us around the world are really scared, we appreciate the laughter every now and then to get through this. So, yeah. Thank you for everything.
not one bit. only according to him maybe. i wish people would watch every monologue for the past 3 years and wake the fuck up to these cfr media brain parasites.
And remember, no president, including Obama, likes the press, but at least they've respected them and understood their role in our society. That's gone out the window!
But you want peace right? I do. But trust me. US is not the solution to your problems. The solution can only come from yourself. Starting with treating the Donbasspopulation as equal citizens of Ukraine. Peace/(from a swede)
Fast forward::: tRump is now looking at impeachment for trying to bribe/withholding aid from Ukraine. He is a Russian asset who is giving put-in your country on a silver platter. He's been a total disaster.
Here in 2019 too. I used to be able to laugh at this. Not so much anymore. In fact and I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I've cried a couple of times recently and I'm not even from the US.
He affiliation with Putin for starts. Then you look at all the businesses he owns around the world and it is easy to tie him to some type of favoritism. He also lies constantly so just put him under oath and have him lie to Congress. He also made a mistake to make enemies with everyone in govt and especially the intel community that could easily set him up.
To be fair, it wasn't at all hard to see, if you had ANY experience at all with conmen, grifters, bullshitters, or other types of blustering know-nothings, or were paying attention during his campaign. --Dave, and of course assuming you hadn't fallen under his "He's faaaamous!!1!" spell
+Kundai I want a piece of that "debt cupcake" too! Punctuation is important is all I'm saying. Maybe check-in for an English class every once in a while?
Yeah Obama should have introduced legislation to set minimum standards for presidential candidates. The list would be so long. Not accused of rape would be high on the list.
ah the good old days...when Stephen had legs, a neat haircut, a jacket button to be constantly fiddling with.....and what was the other thing ?......oh yeah a President you could look up to and respect because he was competent, decent, kind and honourable. Well we've certainly not had to bring those terms out to describe the current incumbent !
Yeah I’m watching old Colbert videos bc I just got into him during quarantine, and he really shines most when he can walk around, his audience cheering, with his hair and makeup done, a nice suit, and he can put his hands in his pockets. He’s more charismatic on stage.
Oh, nice you there, common here comrade, tell us what you have so we would know what to take. I know that Sweden has Surströmming vodka and hot women's - so they doomed for sure, but what do you have so interesting to have? Ahh I recall weed, amsterdam is your city I guess, hm I'm wrong it's Netherlands. Hm, what is Denmark then (Tovarisch Google foff, I'll try to get that without your help)
I hope Stephen does a throwback to this monologue in January 2021 and says "Yup...I sure as hell wasn't bored!" Given that Agolf Twittler isn't re-elected. We'll see.
Has there ever been this much ridicule of a newly appointed world leader? It's hilarious and I hope it lasts the full four years or until his impeachment.
Watching this in June 2020, I can confirm... Stephen, you could be a prophet ... (your writers included). Standards so low that "Make America Again" should definitely be the slogan for anyone running in 2020. :'(
Chris ツ DK First it will be Denmark then Putin and Trump will toss a coin over Norway, lets hope in both situations they can't find a coin for four years.
I guess the tears I shed on inauguration day were just a warm-up for the last 3.5 years. You never realize they were the "good old days" until they are gone.
watching this at the end of 2019 I can't help thinking how young Stephen looked back then. Warning 'Trump Presidency may make you prematurely age' should have been on those hats
Colbert had no idea what we were going to be dealing with at the time this was happening. He, like all of us, thought that Hillary would be our next president. Not as cool as Obama, but certainly not the nightmare we are living with now... The Obama presidency was very special for a lot of reasons that transcends politics. The entire Obama first family was a bright, shinning light of optimism, grace and unity. And I believe, for the vast majority of the country, the fact that they were the first black 'first' family quickly faded. They brought morals and ethics to the White House. They may have not done everything right - what president ever has??, but Obama and his family carried the office with dignity and made us proud to be an American. The world respected him and us for having the courage to vote him into office. We were on the path of breaking boundaries that no other country has been able to. And now, it's all come crashing down. I don't even know what's going on - struggling daily with it all. Doesn't make sense to me - to go from what we had to what we are dealing with now. The ugly underbelly of our society has reared it's disgusting head. Maybe this had to happen. Can't fight an enemy you thought didn't exist. Now we know. Guard was down - now it's up. The people of Alabama recently proved that good will always conquer evil. Now that we know how much evil still exists, we will conquer it.
When I started watching these late shows I thought there weren't any people in the studio and they were playing laugh tapes... I was pretty damn wrong. Love how Stephen interacts with his audience
Watching this in 2019 while the news of US 45 administration plans to withdraw INF treaty with RUSSIA. GODDAMNIT! Gonna get the cold war again and arms race again huh?

sorry but the shockingly low number of times obama did not use a teleprompter makes him a subpar orator
Yeah, he made great speeches only trouble is they were bunch of bull and lies, many, many lies.

I mean, I think everyone can agree Trump saying "I don't like using twitter" may be one if the biggest lies he's ever told.
and these years have greatly proved that it was
Now, if the little orange man in the WhiteHouse hasn’t posted fourteen tweets by 2pm, they start organising his funeral.

trump is the president lol, how is your country not a mess?
Up here in Canada we didn't think all that much of that illegal alien. He wasn't loved, and I'm not sure who respected him.
It’s 2019 and Trump had a tantrum because he can’t have Greenland.
I like watching these old videos, we were so naive.

Ive just watched this for the first time 1st Jan 2020..amazing how prophetic is was
I think people are REALLY going to miss Obama once this guy gets into the White House.
Yep, unfortunately it is... Obama may be a lot of things, but he's polite and can understand subtle differences. While it's enough just to observe Trump's facial expressions, in various situations and on different days. There's no subtlety there, just like in the way he talks.
I already miss him and we still have a day to go before he's turned over the keys. I hope he plays a large part in rebuilding the Dems for a counterattack to take back the House and the Presidency over the next 4 years.

1:17 Wow! that was kind of prophetic
Boy was Colbert right. We’ll need an America again after these last horrible atrocious years of his « so called » presidency
If only we could have seen into the future at this point in time
this just come back up in my recommended... boy did this age well
Has there ever been this much ridicule of a newly appointed world leader? It's hilarious and I hope it lasts the full four years or until his impeachment.
Watching this in June 2020, I can confirm... Stephen, you could be a prophet ... (your writers included).
Standards so low that "Make America Again" should definitely be the slogan for anyone running in 2020. :'(
Nooooo, not Denmark, pleeeeease 😱
Chris ツ DK First it will be Denmark then Putin and Trump will toss a coin over Norway, lets hope in both situations they can't find a coin for four years.
I guess the tears I shed on inauguration day were just a warm-up for the last 3.5 years. You never realize they were the "good old days" until they are gone.
31000 tweets is someone who really hates twitter
Shit it's been exactly one year. How are we alive now???
Yasaal A. Now 2. And it’s worst
Make America again..... that's relatable now
Stephen said "Make America Great Again, Again" as a back up slogan in 2017!
Mike Pence got it from The Late Show!!
I never laughed so hard. where could I start OMG😂
watching this at the end of 2019 I can't help thinking how young Stephen looked back then.
Warning 'Trump Presidency may make you prematurely age' should have been on those hats
What does Melania see in Donald Trump? "Ten Million dollars and high cholesterol
Roy keane hah lol
Roy keane It's a mystery all right ;)
Roy keane High cholesterol gets all the ladies
***** lol, yeah of course!
lmao
Colbert had no idea what we were going to be dealing with at the time this was happening. He, like all of us, thought that Hillary would be our next president. Not as cool as Obama, but certainly not the nightmare we are living with now... The Obama presidency was very special for a lot of reasons that transcends politics. The entire Obama first family was a bright, shinning light of optimism, grace and unity. And I believe, for the vast majority of the country, the fact that they were the first black 'first' family quickly faded. They brought morals and ethics to the White House. They may have not done everything right - what president ever has??, but Obama and his family carried the office with dignity and made us proud to be an American. The world respected him and us for having the courage to vote him into office. We were on the path of breaking boundaries that no other country has been able to. And now, it's all come crashing down. I don't even know what's going on - struggling daily with it all. Doesn't make sense to me - to go from what we had to what we are dealing with now. The ugly underbelly of our society has reared it's disgusting head. Maybe this had to happen. Can't fight an enemy you thought didn't exist. Now we know. Guard was down - now it's up. The people of Alabama recently proved that good will always conquer evil. Now that we know how much evil still exists, we will conquer it.
Very well said. My sentiments exactly.
Lol, Trump wants his inauguration tickets back? He is *literally* giving away tickets on his Facebook page right now.
... it is not giving away the tickets, if nobody accepts them.
Actually, you do not need tickets. It is free to show up to the Inauguration ceremony and parade.
Katrena Thacker ya and still nobody went lol
I don't like tweeting. 4 yrs later....tweeted so much to the point he got banned.
When I started watching these late shows I thought there weren't any people in the studio and they were playing laugh tapes... I was pretty damn wrong. Love how Stephen interacts with his audience
"Keep America Great" is the slogan used in The Purge: Election Year
We all missed him , he was the best at all times.
Denmark has a lot of the windmills Trump is so afraid of - he won't want us.
andrineslife 🤣
guess putin will take ur windmills then
9:50 The Cyrillic writing says "Putin navsegda", translating to "Putin forever"
Not to mention that the slogan "Keep America Great" was lifted verbatim from a dystopian horror movie: "The Purge: Election Year".
Trump said that before the movie was in the works...
Trump himself did steal make america great again from another presidential campaign
Too fresh, "if it's yellow let it mellow".
Watching this in 2019 while the news of US 45 administration plans to withdraw INF treaty with RUSSIA.
GODDAMNIT! Gonna get the cold war again and arms race again huh?
Yup, maybe worse if people don't wise up.
"The atomic monsters weren't my fault"....
Priceless....
Well, Stephen, you said it! This has not been boring.
I love Stephen Colbert so much! Really funny & smart - the best combo ^^
