    I saw some of his recent speeches, appearances on TV shows, his work, how he handled the country when he took over during that mess in 2008 and where he has taken it now , I don't know, I was almost in tears realizing that he will be gone! . I will miss his positive talk, his sense of humor, his way of handling things, his acceptance of criticism and everything Sorry guys, I might sound like a complete dork and a idiot , but I really feel like crying now that Obama is going to leave the office.

    This is one of the best interviews with President Obama I've seen. Not only Bill's questions, but President Obama's candid answers. I didn't hear any b.s. Sure, I'm biased for him, but I didn't really hear any politics in his answers. I don't agree with all he said, but it sounds like a man doing the best he can with what he has. Which is his presidency in a nutshell.

      LycanVonWolf I actually liked that answer, but then again foreign policy/the military is where I differ from a lot of my progressive friends. Agreed about the useless junk though. But that's government contracts. The government always bleeds money in everything; hence why that message plays well to the voters.

If not worse. Sure he can release some non violent drug offenders who were serving life.. woop de doo... thats just humane.. theres 10'00s of thousands more who have 10-20 for exactly the same shit.. but because they''ll eventually get out it doesn't matter for a politician who just wants to look sympathetic while doing the bare minimum.

      Unbelievable the cheerful reviews of this interview after all the terrible things Obama did and explains the reason we have the government we do by all those that swallowed the propaganda hook line and sinker even after the Princeton Study proved we have lived in an oligarchy for decades: Obama promised when running the first thing he would do is codifying Roe versus Wade and never did so Democrats could continue to run on it after 50 years of doing so. Obama’s cabinet was selected in an email from Citigroup a month BEFORE the 2008 general election at a time when Wall St. crashed the world economy. Combine that with Citigroup took more TARP money than anyone else. Obama kicked 5.1 million families out of their homes and got Wall St. to keep their bonuses. Obama got AIG the insurance money so Wall St. didn’t suffer losses for their crazy derivative bets without even a haircut that was expected. Obama took us from 2 wars to 7. Obama adopted a right wing heath care program from the Heritage foundation that increased insurance company profits and bankrupted families. Obama dropped more bombs than Bush. Obama deported more Latinos and Bush. Obama’s drone program killed innocent people 90% of the time. Obama continued the Bush tax cuts. After 8 years of Obama and abuse from the Democratic Party, Trump was elected after making the same promises as Obama’s hope and change calling it clean the swamp.

It's incomprehensible to me that anyone would think Obama has not been a great president, that anybody could think Trump would be a better representative and leader of this Country. Obama just oozes gravitas whenever he talks, such an intelligent and well rounded individual who clearly understands the complexity all these issues we have in this Country. In comparison, how can a simpleton narcissistic bigot like Trump get so many votes? I don't understand. Like Maher said before, "it's depressing to think that you share the Country with so many people who you share nothing with".

      No, because Trump consistently has interviews where he has the knowledge of a 7th grader. He might have been semi-intelligent in his past, but being surrounded by Yes-Men his entire life he does not know the world, only knows the world as he sees it without reading or knowing any facts to begin with.

      And one of the smartest things he did was to mute his intelligence so as not to scare the average dummy even more. If you read some of the things he wrote in college, he could easily have been a professor. What he learned from his mother is how to explain things to non-experts (i.e. students) without condescending, including (as we used to say) using words of one syllable or less. A difficult trick when you're that smart.

      No, Basho. It's not 50/50. According to RealClearPolitics, they take all the poll, leaning republican, democratic, and neutral, and come up with percentage points. Hillary had of 95+ % chance for much of October. Following FBI's 'intervention' in the election, that number has dropped to 70. So, with 3 days out, it's 70/30 in favor of Clinton.

Definitely comes across as someone you could have a respectful, rational discussion, even when you are on opposite sides of policy. Unfortunately, I don't see anyone like him in temperament in either party with any real chance making through the primaries.

      I was really sad when he left the White House-but now as he’s MIA and our country is circling the drain after he started a resentment that at the White House press corps dinner humiliating Trump that our entire nation has been paying for ever since, his ego has caused us to lose our democracy and he is the one to blame for everything that’s come to pass. Trump would have never run for office had Obama not humiliated him so publicly. So fuck Obama.

      Unbelievable the cheerful reviews of this interview after all the terrible things Obama did and explains the reason we have the government we do by all those that swallowed the propaganda hook line and sinker even after the Princeton Study proved we have lived in an oligarchy for decades: Obama promised when running the first thing he would do is codifying Roe versus Wade and never did so Democrats could continue to run on it after 50 years of doing so. Obama’s cabinet was selected in an email from Citigroup a month BEFORE the 2008 general election at a time when Wall St. crashed the world economy. Combine that with Citigroup took more TARP money than anyone else. Obama kicked 5.1 million families out of their homes and got Wall St. to keep their bonuses. Obama got AIG the insurance money so Wall St. didn’t suffer losses for their crazy derivative bets without even a haircut that was expected. Obama took us from 2 wars to 7. Obama adopted a right wing heath care program from the Heritage foundation that increased insurance company profits and bankrupted families. Obama dropped more bombs than Bush. Obama deported more Latinos and Bush. Obama’s drone program killed innocent people 90% of the time. Obama continued the Bush tax cuts. After 8 years of Obama and abuse from the Democratic Party, Trump was elected after making the same promises as Obama’s hope and change calling it clean the swamp.

These are depressing times, and then I'm not even an american. Even though this has escalated to new heights in the US, I can see the same tendencies of national splintering and ignorance growing over here in Europe. "This side is what I agree with, so everything and everyone on the other side must be bad, and everything on this side must be good!" is the prevailing logic. I've had this uneasy feeling around the unity of the West, and it's growing. I don't believe it's going to end well, actually.

Vega will blame these dropped plans on Obama instead of blaming the insurers becuz he's that dumb and biased. Employers basically dropped plans becuz they felt their workers would find better coverages in the exchange!

      You know that out of all the winners and losers from WWII the US is the only country that doesn’t provide medical care to its citizens. Glad you were able to afford the $4k but that would bankrupt many families who can’t afford a $400 emergency. Unbelievable the cheerful reviews of this interview after all the terrible things Obama did and explains the reason we have the government we do by all those that swallowed the propaganda hook line and sinker even after the Princeton Study proved we have lived in an oligarchy for decades: Obama promised when running the first thing he would do is codifying Roe versus Wade and never did so Democrats could continue to run on it after 50 years of doing so. Obama’s cabinet was selected in an email from Citigroup a month BEFORE the 2008 general election at a time when Wall St. crashed the world economy. Combine that with Citigroup took more TARP money than anyone else. Obama kicked 5.1 million families out of their homes and got Wall St. to keep their bonuses. Obama got AIG the insurance money so Wall St. didn’t suffer losses for their crazy derivative bets without even a haircut that was expected. Obama took us from 2 wars to 7. Obama adopted a right wing heath care program from the Heritage foundation that increased insurance company profits and bankrupted families. Obama dropped more bombs than Bush. Obama deported more Latinos and Bush. Obama’s drone program killed innocent people 90% of the time. Obama continued the Bush tax cuts. After 8 years of Obama and abuse from the Democratic Party, Trump was elected after making the same promises as Obama’s hope and change calling it clean the swamp.

      No offense, but at one point scientific studies used to say that smoking wasn't bad for your health - so I think I'll take my chances and "err on the side of caution" until another study is released in 20 years which has had enough time to evaluate the population who freely ate GMO foods.

      @Super Sonic Great! you had it great? So let me tell you how the world had it. Libyia, one of the most developed country in middle east destroyed. The country that distributed the wealth. If person wanted to study anywhere in the world , government would help to fund it, if people got married they received the house, every person over 18 received Universal income. Has not have civil war, was looking to make peace with the world.
      Country destroyed completely, ISIS was put to power, as the rebels you supported turned out to be ISIS. Then Syria, same thing, the rebels you were supplying in guns, passed it to ISIS. From regions you oversaw the trucks were transporting oil to them for ages. That is why they grew in power. And Russia showed the recording and asked what the hell are you doing? Why are you supporting rebels who in big part joined ISIS.
      30 000 kids died. Big migration in Europe where people who never wanted to leave the country , had to . Often people with no language, no opportunities, mafia formed on the borders, people sold everything to get out. Went to foreign countries broken with no funds no language and no cultural understanding often. The repurcussions will be in years to come. Luckily you got Trump who also asked what the hell you are doing and this ordeal has ended. And he was not interested in starting another war in spite of obvious advice from people who have different interests.
      So great you feel good and lifted by nice speech of peace and unity. He is a great orator and I am sure a decent human being. But he was not competent to make these decisions. Mistakes yes, well. He did exactly the same in Syria as was mistake with Libyia. He did not learn. So do not brag how good you had it when 30 000 kids died in vain.

It would be very easy to do worse. Out of touch with reality, delusional, brain washed? As you prepare yourself to vomit the talking points that dispute these points back to me, do so knowing that they can all be verified by observation, facts and common sense.

    • @ritchski1
      @ritchski1 7 лет назад +6

      I'm speaking of his class as a politician, he just surpasses Trump in every way so from that point of view I wonder how this term can improve on things. Obama just needed more time. I'm not a Clinton supporter either really but I'd probably have to say, as an outsider I would have picked her because she has Obama's backing.
      Trump is interesting in the fact we have no idea how he will turn out, maybe it won't be as bad as people think, is it likely he will upset half the country putting crazy policies in place? Has he even the power to do it?
      The obviously media played a massive part in this, if they didn't keep harping on about Trump's bad wording and stuck to the main issues the people would have been less imitated by the coverage press. While I agree a lot it it was creepy from Trump, it clearly didn't matter to a lot of people so give up and go for another angle, which they didn't, which led to the "is Hilary a saint then" argument. the whole thing hypocrisy at its finest, a big part of Trump getting in.
      Obama comes across as a decent human being which is the difference, this farce would never have happened if he was running against Trump, he embarrassed him once, he would have destroyed him in an election with reasoned arguments and temperament.

Obama’s cabinet was selected in an email from Citigroup a month BEFORE the 2008 general election at a time when Wall St. crashed the world economy. Combine that with Citigroup took more TARP money than anyone else. Obama kicked 5.1 million families out of their homes and got Wall St. to keep their bonuses. Obama got AIG the insurance money so Wall St. didn’t suffer losses for their crazy derivative bets without even a haircut that was expected. Obama took us from 2 wars to 7. Obama adopted a right wing heath care program from the Heritage foundation that increased insurance company profits and bankrupted families. Obama dropped more bombs than Bush. Obama deported more Latinos and Bush. Obama’s drone program killed innocent people 90% of the time. Obama continued the Bush tax cuts. After 8 years of Obama and abuse from the Democratic Party, Trump was elected after making the same promises as Obama’s hope and change calling it clean the swamp.

He always mentions kids and education. He seems to genuinely care about what he’s saying and how it’s received. Notice he looks at his interviewer when he makes a point. His answers are Eloquent, measured, tempered.. We need leaders like this not loose canons who think they come off as a cowboys. . Young people are frightened of what’s happening now.

The past 6 years they have been grinding the government to a hault and getting no work done. Obama and democrats have introduces legislation to help gay people, women, minorities, small business, Bernie sanders and warren alone have introduced real change.
      Hell Obama gave congress a bipartisan conservative leaning judge with an impeccable record. And they still blocked the Judicial nomination!!!!
      It's clear that the GOP and Trump don't want change and they don't want to work together with anybody. It's time me oust them.

      Growth has been less volatile since the mid 80's, with the exception of recessions at the beginning of the Clinton, Bush and Obama administration. It seems that any time we have a breakout quarter, economists hair is on fire, they are screaming about the onset of inflation, and the Fed begins talking rate increases. The most important tangible progress is the increase in working class income, and we have just started seeing that for the first time since the recession. If we had had just some cooperation from Congress, we might have seen more progress there.

      Doc Vega I’m not an Obama fan either, but please don’t criticize other people for their lack of intellect. You sound like a fucking idiot and if you think Trump is delivering on what he promised, you really are a fucking idiot.

      Steven Reichert If you think Obama did a good job, I’d say you either weren’t paying attention, are engaging in cognitive dissonance, lack critical thinking skills, or are benefiting from a completely corrupt status quo. Period.

      what a difference President Obama speaks with grace and knowledge and a great person to listen to, he can move with subjects with the host and sound like a stable genius, now compare him to trump all he knows is how to screw over people that work for him has no knowledge of how the economy works sounds like a dumb jackass of the streets and cannot speak and change subjects as the host questions him, we really miss PRESIDENT . OBAMA he was a very good president and history will show that the very first mixed race president was a successful choice trump will go down in history killing more people than the war in viet nam worst economy and a very divided nation. there will be a library named after PRESIDENT OBAMA and trump will have a rest stop on I95 going to Florida named after him where you will need to bring your own toilet paper . the four years seemed to drag on . PRESIDENT BIDEN was voted in cannot wait for JANUARY 20th 12.00 noon

An interesting question arose between Podesta and one of his contacts asking if Obama was getting the 80000 dollars in hotdogs through their source. Weird stuff for leaders, and the price of hotdogs if you don't know the FBI code of pedophile terminology. Kind Regards
