    I am conservative, so when it comes to policy, there are pronounced disagreements. But no one can ever doubt his intellect: it exudes him entirely. I respect that & I think deep down, a lot of the vitriol thrown his way comes from a place of envy.

      you are right. i will also add hate. i saw an editorial by a man who referred to himself as a card-carrying republican who gave up his membership on account of republicans having no agenda other than to thwart anything obama proposed. in his view, the republican hated obama more than they loved america. those are some serious claims by an avowed republican.

      As a member of the Liberal Enemy I applaud you for your honesty. It’s a pity so many out there on both sides, Conservative and Liberal, are unable to see past policy differences to the core of who people are. I have many times said that Lindsey Graham or John McCain are men who I disagree heartily with but who have my respect for their way of comporting themselves. I hope your attitude rubs off on others and we can get back to a place of discussion and debate in this country without all the hatred.

      Well done, my friend. It takes intellect to appreciate intellect. I wish I didn't feel the need to praise you for a simple "I disagree, but respect", but it's in such short supply these days. 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.

      Good you know.. unfortunately doc Vega would never believe you becuz he's a dummy.. doesn't even know why health insurance companies and employers dropped coverages for Americans they did it health insurances dropped becuz of their greed and didn't want to conform to Omaha minimal requirements and decided they'd rather kill Americans instead of helping Americans. 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! And again Vega blames Obama instead of the employers.. but don't listen to Vega becuz he'd blinded by biases! As he's asserted thru out this one comment to everyone that's commented! lol

It killed the middle class but was fine for the poor and rich. I have to admit until the day comes that the masses can have meaningful employment the government might have to be involved in health-care

      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.

Forget about the politics, the difference in humility, intelligence, integrity, honesty, etc. almost every measurement of a person's intellect and personality is completely off the charts. It demonstrates that a narcissist sociopath is almost a different species. And half this country is either so gullible or deranged to prefer what we have now to the previous administration. This is bizarro earth.

      @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.

      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.

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.

    As a Republican, listening to Obama is so refreshing. Even when we don't agree, I can at least understand his position clearly and directly. 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.

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.

    Nice to have a President you can be proud of.
    People take their cues from whatever news source reinforces their beliefs, so its impossible to reason with those who have been taught to hate everything about Obama from day-1.
    But ultimately the day-to-day noise disappears and a President's legacy is judged on its merits.
    And history will judge Obama kindly because he left the country better than he found it.
    He will be considered a very good President. Not Mt Rushmore good, but definitely in the top 25%.

Conservatives want to curb obscenity and force us to make our speech more in line with Christian family values.
      Donald Trump might increase freedom of speech from a religious perspective, but he will also tighten libel laws and crack down on obscenity. This will give powerful individuals more opportunity to silence what they don't like to hear and it will allow religious fundamentalists to force their Puritan standards onto the rest of the community when it comes to sexuality in media.
      In the end, we will not have gained any freedom of speech. Civil libertarians are true defenders of freedom of speech.

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.

      We all know this and we all know plenty else about how different the world of texting is from the world of face to face living, etc.
      We all recognize and can name the FEELINGS that make us refrain from leaving a comment that we would like to lead: empathy, fear, doubt, ego fragility, etc.
      But what is going in when we type and hit ➡️ send?
      The primary feeling I believe is akin to the feeling you get after a huge rod of shit curls out of the recesses of your biwels to empty out the hatch and into the toilet bowl water beneath you.

    Watching this for the 1st time in 2018 and it almost makes me weep to see how far the US has fallen since Trump took office. Say what you will, President Obama possesses everything you want in a leader. He's thoughtful and measured particularly when discussing sensitive issues. He's knowledgeable, compassionate, empathetic, humble, gracious and more. Try and say that about Trump without throwing up in your mouth a little.

      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.

Arggghhh! GW Bush may have been frustrating, but NEVER did he drop the bar this low for America and the world!

      sandelic I'm a middle aged American woman. I miss the sense of calm that Obama brought to the office and to a lot of the population. America has always had issues to overcome and we haven't shown a lot of progress in certain areas; Obama noted our issues and said that we could tackle them rationally. It was like "We"re a toddler of a nation but Obama reminded us that we are growing and it doesn't have to look so awkward to the rest of the world. We can achieve our potential." Now we're led by a panicked toddler and I'm pretty nervous...
