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.

Obama is a fucking dumbass, no doubt about it.
In six months, or a year, we're really going to miss this guy
Gabryal Sansclair
I know, he really is a great human being and we were extremely fortunate to have had such a good man as our president!!
A 16 year old boy whose father was a terrorist and he was with militants trying to kill people. If you do not want your son dead...do not bring him into a war zone where he can be killed.
Gabryal Sansclair How much is Brock paying you for that post?
more CTR, its amazing.
Gabryal Sansclair people didn't understand, but as his time comes to an end, its really hitting me and the rest of the country.
I'm a poor man who works hard as a dishwasher everyday and pay my bills each month and Obama care helped me get health insurance I needed now I have glasses and It didn't cost alot of money and I get me teeth clean and my meds without paying alot of money. All thanks to Obama.
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
I was a powder coater who payed 450. A month but there was no way i could use my insurance. This was the problem with the affordable care act. 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
@Doc Vega ...'''cause ...this Damn...OBAMA-phone ain''t WORTH-A-Shit'''...and He''s BACK-cigarette-smoking-AGAIN just LooK @...His BURNT...Lips'''...i/m michelle i would NOT Wanna Kiss Him...either'''...But p.s.-His Daughter mia is Getting BANGED REAL Good Down @ that college-campus''''
@Doc Vega my ass is kinda stupid how did you know? Must have been something i said.
@Doc Vega no
Like him or hate him, this is what a leader sounds like... Careful, deliberate speech.
I think some people mistook his slow, exacting style as being dull or boring, when the reality was he just wanted to be precise and thoughtful.
@@ctdieselnut That's how leaders are supposed to talk, so the people can hear and understand what their are saying
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.

Waffle in other words.
I love that Bill Maher is always Bill Maher, he hits this interview with the same professionalism and no bullshit attitude that he always has. No sycophantic nonsense or awe.
...''cause BACK IN The HOOD He Knows He can Get His ass...KicKed'''''
Actually, I think this was one of his best. He often interrupts the people he's interviewing but he didn't this time. He was in awe of President Obama. I would have been, too. :)
Yo mama
no no no no, here Bill was very humbled and kept his bullshit for himself.
@@wendyscott8425 he does that on his show because its a time slotted SHOW yall people mess up talking about maher just trying to have enough time for other guest. It pays to think in perspective not perception.
Thank you president Obama! You will be missed after you leave office...
AGREED.
My Earth ain't that the sad truth
Until his trial for treason, selling national secrets, colluding with radical islamic nations, standing down during Benghazi, and turning a blind eye to HRC corruption. Real great guy, what principles he's standing for -- I totally see why you love him.
rodr wtf... dude put your tinfiok hat back on
NDFOOTBALL, Look at how many "likes" My Earth's comment got. Now look at how stupid your comment is. Obama will be missed. Now shut the fuck up, junior, and let the grown folk talk!
OMG I am going to cry now. The difference, the memory of civilisation and intellectual refinement and veracity is toooo much.
don't cry its trump vote him out
veracity
DON'T!!!
It's the most dramatic change anyone could ever imagine. 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.
Kinda funny tbh
Back when a President actually answered questions and not just walk out.
Facts
@@trembling3674 brilliantly stated!
@Sling Ding suspect the Flint water thing is Michigan thing that the Feds can’t get involved in (outside of an emergency thing which the Governor has to declare and ask for help)
It's easy when the media supports your agenda.
@@consciousgaming5991 obama is a democrat so is bill ! Its a democrat interviewing another democrat why would this interview turn into a clash take a look at some of the stupid questions The Liberal media used to ask trump !
I NEED TO WATCH THIS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK TO KEEP MYSELF SANE
Tomny Evans Yes me too 👍
@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.
Tomny Evans ...( is your name spelled correctly)... BUT They Tell Me Too Much...porn...is ...insane ... p.s. so what do i do with this HARD Ass ...DicK....
I feel you! Probably daily now?
You and me both, Tommy.
Damn, how far we have fallen.
@Doc Vega Every president from Washington to Trump is criminal they are called TERRORIST IN CHIEF.
@Doc Vega Why was he the worst?
@Doc Vega Take off the tin foil hat and get laid my man.
@Doc Vega
How very very far have we FALLEN
We have FALLEN
Say what you want about Bill Maher, but he's essentially the only talk show host that gave Obama a serious, substantive interview rather than a comedy skit. Im glad he did, this interview was very informative and Obama did a good job.
...OBAMA DID A GOOD JOB OF NOT TELLING WHERE HE CAN ...sticK...it'''''
I think John Oliver did a good job too
I meant John Stewart
@Doc Vega your language is so obscene that you need to look in the mirror
@Doc Vega : Yes, we know how you love your Reality TV stars to the point where you'd put them in the White House. And yet, dumbasses, such as yourself, can vote. covfefe.
This is just an astounding interview for so many reasons. Maher asks some great questions. Obama has a sense of humour. Obama gives some thoughtful answers. And in the end, even though they have their differences, there is a level of respect and comradery between them, like strangers with different views, but who both know that they're in this thing together.
Quite similar views, but yeah
It's disgusting.
Where's the birth certificate controversy?
@@Johnsmith-hp6tw It doesn't exist except in your own head. Obama was born in Hawaii, and is a natural born citizen.
My darling grandmother said: when I hear the voice, I know what I'm dealing with". President Obama clearly represents calm, thoughtfulness and honesty.
Miss him.
He was Bush 2.0.
Yes he is so honest and thoughtful as he rained terror down on people with preditor drones in a whole bunch of different country's. He even eloquently joked about it
Unbelievable how many uneducated haters there are out there. They live in their own little hate filled worlds and believe what they
@Doc Vega OMG shut up. Next time you wanna give an opinion or attack someone, do it civilly and with composer. Obama never treated people the way you do so stop attacking him when you are way worse
Never seen Bill so quiet when interviewing someone.
HE'S TRYING TO LEARN SOMETHING!
k tom the respect ✊🏾 he has for this man I agree I wud be same listen learn
Yessss❗ Respectful & refined😊

@Doc Vega Get a real job shill!
He is just too smart for an average American, I can see why some consider him aloof or out of touch....he kept Bill quiet the whole interview....you can see his admiration from his eyes
Obama stepped down from a high paying law office to be a public servant! He felt he needed to help not what he could make out of being Pres. Biden is the same.
He was elected by the average American you clown
@@spicyirwin5835 Biden is a shitshow. He’s responsible for dead Americans in Afghanistan, Russia provoking a world war in Europe, Taiwan will be taken over by China unless he intervenes in a serious way, inflation at historic highs, a reduction in wages, thousands of closed small businesses, overseen more deaths from Covid than Trump and threw the entire military under the bus for the taliban takeover by lying about the info they gave him.
If he's too smart for the average America, then he shouldn't have run for office.
But, I dont think that's the issue. I think his point is right that there is too much misinformation & people are too stressed out to get the right messages.
Also, I don't think Bill Maher was staying quiet because he was in awe of his brilliance, as you implied. I think they're mostly on the same side, & Bill was just letting him speak without interrupting.
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.
Whatever happens next week, the world will miss Obama...
Critical Eats Japan definitely this...but I don't think most of them see it yet
J Stevens In the words or your messiah Trump.....WRONG!!!!!!!!
J Stevens If you believe that hogwash then you don't know the first thing about the man and what he's accomplished. Just because you don't agree with him or us doesn't make him bad or wrong. Hillary for President 2016!
WRONG!
J Stevens You don't know you history do you? If you think Obama is the worst President ever your a damn fool. In your mind what makes him the "worst ever"?
When you see and hear this in 2020 during the Covid-19 outbreak... I can't even.
Can't even what?
@First Lady it's a common internet phrase. You not getting it doesn't make the OP an improper writer.
holy shit, he really did it. he got the president to sit with him
+Ryan Wehr That’s because he is very intelligent - as well as refreshingly frank and outspoken.
The guy he funded to become president?
I think a million dollar campaign donation deserves a 40 minute sit down, don't you?
not a big deal nowadays, hbo paid obama to be interviewed.
That is an interesting claim. Two questions:
1. How do you know that? a.k.a. what is your source?
2. How much?
What a calm, composed, and completely professional interview.
Loved it. It showed a steady-handed president on his way out but not off his handle and a comedian in his lane actually letting his subject speak and keeping his jokes at bay.
This is one of the best interviews ever.
Props to both.
Reported for supporting antiwhite racism.
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.
Yeah well he doesn't need to lie through his ass to get likes anymore, that's probably helping his honesty
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.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Bull shit.. people make excuses for all the things he could do which he didn't and still could but he won't.. because he's a puppet to the billionaires who fund prisons.. drug law.. military... nothing changed with any of them. 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.
Umm he ran away pretty quick from big money in politics... started talking about food lol. Don't get me wrong I love Obama and all, but gotta call it out. Why do you think he's been trying to avoid getting involved in the DAPL.. he did a tiny interview and said, ehh well wait and see how it plays out. He's not a saint lol
Can you imagine Trump having a conversation like this?? Obama is thinking on his feet with informed, intelligent answers. That Trump was even considered a viable option to fill this mans shoes is a joke and flat out embarrassing.
Cynthia Quigley yea, but what's worse is that hillary beat out sanders. that's some rigged bullshit
Yeah, that really angered me for a while but I don't think that is worse. Hillary made me mad but I despise Trump. I hope to never see his fat fucking face after his concession Tuesday night. Once again, thinking women are deciding.
Cynthia Quigley do you think Obama wasn't given the questions ahead of time?
drink some more Kool-Aid
Adam Haynes did you go to college? did you take political science or communications? yes at times you know some questions ahead but the asnwers are yours, its important to have premeditated asnwers to get your message across without being rude or offensive to be consistent and true to your asnwer. imagine you at a job interview or you at a speech conference. google the 7 cs
answers** typo before you call me out for a mistake
No man is perfect, but this is a beautiful example of what _genuine_ intelligence, honesty and integrity look like.
They are both psychopaths
Jari Schol Agreed.
Amen!
I loved Obama for a time but this interview was the perfect example of his gas lighting ways.. and he doesn't actually answer half of the questions
I dont know about honesty and integrity but at least he isn't an imbecile.
Watching this 4-5 years after it's release makes me speechless. Interpret that as you will.
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.

@@davidcbr0wn do you know how our government works? like at all? i recommend schoolhouse rock, they make great educational songs you might enjoy.
Whether you liked or hated Barack Obama, you have to admit, it's nice to have a president that can speak his point of view while at the same time being eloquent, thought out, and a controlled answer. Especially compared to what we have now with everything being "the greatest" or everything being "Yueg" (huge).
Jason Hinton yes. Everything trumplethinskin says is self promoting, self enriching, “me me me”. Not once in my studies of Obama’s administration have I found selfishness. 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.
ok, Barry was a good speaker. that didn't translate into being a good President. He was corrupt, even more corrupt than Nixon. Your mainstream media just refuses to report the corruption because it has a slobbering love affair with Obama.
Jim Anders are you implying the 4 year old tweeting his insane narrative to his white supremacist base... is a good president!?
This man never said "Bigly" in his life.
Jason Hinton i think those who hated obama are incapable of admitting that
"If I watched Fox News I wouldn't vote for me either." -President Obama
Yea, because they report the truth.

The smartest thing that happened during this interview is that Bill let him talk.

I don't care what anyone says I like this man, let's remember what he got stuck with in the first place. Soon enough you folks who hate the man will find yourself thinking he wasn't so bad. I think he did the best he could, and he actually gives a damn.. You have a fan here Mr. President, always will be..
STILL blaming Bush, and then giving Obama all credit for what Trump's doing now.
Hilarious.
Ok whatever you say Thor
Fukka u
@Doc Vega Hilarious. The multitude of arguments you have made in other threads, are justified with the lack or true understanding of 'facts'
Barack = the epitome of dignity and class. We'll never hear the newest President using words like: panacea, indisputable, prominently, plausible and intricacies as Obama did because the English language is not his friend.
Drumpf is functionally illiterate. He doesn't read because HE CAN'T, that's why he can't speak.
He's a slick politician. I'm glad we have Trump now.
@@jimanders6666 Bye-Don
Lol
Trump is slick he was sued about his university screwing over his students
he told you everything thats going to happen if you choose trump. and america still did.
Yes its amazing how so many people are waking up and not being brain washed by the likes of him - kinda restores my faith in the human race
Many rural people thought/still think that Obama is the anti-christ. Our system gives a disproportionate representation to rural America. Sad trombone
💔
I am in awe watching two men of intellectual talk. It is a very humbling feeling. Had it not been for the AHCA my late husband and I would have been stuck with hospital bills in NC til today. Before we moved here to AZ in 2019. We had paid off what we paid from out of pocket which was less than $4,000.00.
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.

I don't understand why your comment was so aggressive then, I only wanted a decent conversation. I don't hate Obama, he is a great speaker and created hope, but in the need that's all he was good for.
I never said 'he hasn't fixed anything' you just made that up

Here is the most calmest, the most intelligent, the most coolest, the most funniest guy anyone will ever speak to. I will TRULY miss him.
Obama is very funny. I heard him speak in NV and his humor came through loud and clear. It was fun.
the man is amazing he served us amazingly but he could and can do anything, i am a huge fan! humble funny, forward direct, proffesor and goof, just perfect!

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.
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.

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.

Oh god I miss him so much... even Dubya starting to look like a frickin genius now.

Such a thoughtful person. The entire interview was not about him. It was about problem-solving and thoughtful consideration of how we solve problems. "Let's agree on facts, and then argue about the means later". Perfect roadmap to solving the toughest problems.
How people could listen to this man and be as rabidly against him as they were/are . . . it has to boil down to pure racism. Well, also jealousy at seeing someone so superior to themselves intellectually and personally . . . who is also black. I think it also scares the pants off them because it blows all their stereotypes--and sense of racial superiority--out of the water. They can't process it so their brains just freak out.
Absolutely love Bill Maher. I so miss President Obama. This was a great interview. I remember watching it live. President Obama is such an amazing person.

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%.
And I, for one, will miss him.
Liberal Smiter When in doubt compare those you disagree with to Hitler. Classic.
Please feel free to enlighten me "as to the founding of this country" and share your expertise on the rise of Nazism and its parallels to Obama's Presidency. I dont see the connection.

But if you call me mean names, like 'dummy' and 'liberal' (I think you meant that to be an insult, no?)... Well, I think I'll just retreat to my safe space, collapse into the fetal position and cry myself to sleep.
Liberal Smiter I have no idea what you're trying to say. And I have a hunch you dont either.
Liberal Smiter Both liberals and conservatives are a threat to free speech. Liberals want to curb hate speech and force us to make our speech more in line with political correctness. 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.
That's what threw the polsters people secretly voted for Trump because they were ashamed and didn't vote their conscience to so call "stick it to the establishment" but they're only sticking it to themselves. Trump has basically back pedaled on the wall, that's one promise already broken LMAO
mark williams Trump's soul is black. He actually called out to the Pope that the pope should not interfere in our elections.

your mad
Thanks for the "thoughtful, insightful" reply. Are you always this articulate? That was rhetorical btw.
The single thing I like the most about Barack Obama (among many) is that you can tell he truly cares about the people he served. He loves America and the people that live here, and he wants to make their lives better.

He has done a great job in the middle east destroying the governments of countries he did not like. great job.
He's bombing several countries at once, the drone program he continues to support kills 90% civilians, he is aiding Saudi Arabia to the tune of billions of dollars while they destabilize and destroy the region, he has expanded the NSA far above and beyond what Dubya did, he is pushing the job-killing TPP, he made over 80% of the bush tax cuts permanent, he proposed to cut social security
Didn't have to look these up. These are the ones I remembered just now.
Oh, and I forgot a big one, he's nominating Merrick Garland, essentially a Republican to the SCOTUS.
A President that I can be proud of! A man who can think and speak with reason.
Are you kidding me or are you just that stupid? Obama spied on Trump campaign you imbecile. Lied every breath. Had the IRS target conservatives. ObamaCare a royal F up. Ran weapons to Iran and gave terrorist millions of dollars. This ex President is going down. He will be in an prison jumpsuit. All his lies are crumbling down around him.

Jim, he's actually quite intelligent. And well-intentioned, I believe. Ineffectual is the word!! I respect BO and find him likable, but bet he was heartbroken when confronted with the limitations of his office. I suspect he has a lot of regret. Perhaps, like Jimmy Carter, he will be quite active after office.
Dude you need to get out more if you think he was all that !!
I'm trying to imagine Trump having an intelligent, reasoned, informed conversation like this. Now I have to go ice my brain.
He will have the best conversation, no one have conversations like him. Everybody that have ever seen him have a conversation always says hes the best at it.
Keleigh Hardie you mean he won't bullsht like this failure. Pretty sure when you build a billion dollar business empire you know how to have an informed conversation. Lol
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. It's not hard to get rich off of owning new york real estate, his family was one of the first to buy new york real estate- meaning the 71 other billionaires that live in NYC also had similar paths.
Joe Smith The times Trump had the chance to act calm and have a proper conversations where during the debates where him and Hillary screamed at eachother. Not saying he can't have one but that's when he should have showed that he was capable of doing so.

Please don't feel hurt by my previous comment, I will explain forthwith.
I'm the guinea pig in an experiment.
Why am I commenting?
We all know how our mean comments affect other people because we know how we were hurt by someone else's comment.
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.
Or as they phrase it in the academy: Relief or Satisfaction.

* Anal Retentive I'm not 😂
Go back on the last few comments you left somewhere.
What made you start writing it? What was the emotional catalyst.
How did you feel when you hit the blue arrow?
The sense of relief feels like something important.
Something like how a prayerful person feels after they have said the prayers they are supposed to say.
The psychology of commenting is a fascinating thing.
And it is wild that none of us actually even give it any thought!
My God is it depressing watching this now, just over a year later.

ObamaCare was a total and complete failure, a train wreck of epic proportions. I guess you would believe anything your mainstream media told you. Obama will go down in history as the most corrupt President, even more corrupt than Nixon. what a pathetic shit head.
Jim Anders - *CONGRATULATIONS*
*YOURE A FUCKING IDIOT*
Lame, dude. Obama was good at public address but thats where it ended. He fucked up our country but GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim Anders - Yes, you are *QUITE LAME, DUDE* and still the idiot as well...
*FUCK OFF*
Obama promised to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem. but the slimy worm lied, never moved it. Trump promised to do the same thing, and followed through, showing an awesome amount of character. Obama is a fucking joke, and so are you.
Thrump will never be able to have a discussion like this.
truth
There are too many ignorant uninformed citizens.......w/ low IQ and no idea about real politics~!!!
as awkward as this was, yeah, you're right.
rutger5000 so true
rutger5000 absolutely right. It breaks my heart that this extremely brilliant President is being going to be replaced such a disgraceful one.
What makes Barack Obama exceptional not only in the world of politics but among all people is his extraordinary ability to retain a sense of objectivity, dispassionately dissect issues, and then choose from among a limited selection of imperfect possible options the best response.
Obama was one of the most intelligent, caring and classy presidents we've ever had.
LOLOLOL, he's a slick con artist that lied for 8 years. at the 2016 Democratic Convention the proclaimed Hillary to be the most qualified candidate in history. In fact, she was the most CORRUPT candidate in history. Obama sold you liberals a bill of goods and you idiots believed him.
the Republicans would like to blame Obama for everything just because Trump is so jealous of Obama because of Obama had so much love and grace and him and class what you don't see no more you don't see class in the White House all you see is a pack of lies and Russian toads and that's the Republicans they are the Russian toads
ijm not American but even i could see how much harm Obama was doing - he doent even like Americans all that much
And unlike your handle, your opinion is not worthless.
Jim Anders wait so is Obama the most corrupt politician of all time, or is it Hillary?? Because you seem to go back and forth in all these comments. You just scream some sort of crazy, uneducated, trumpanzee, tourette sounding bull shit and I can't keep it straight.
Who is watching this after 2 years?
Obama is pure class. The cigarette part had me cracking up
This was a very charismatic guy. He is an elite guy with lots of smarts but he is Narcacist .He is not able too do the really necessary things of our country, His focus is on getting what he wants . not what the country needs pp. The bigger picture eludes him. Too inexperience you need a business person c/ make the needed Changes.

@@eileenshaw4844 👄You go from describing Obama to describing trump!!!
I'm watching today February 9, 2020. I sure do miss having a President who talks like a President.
He was one of the greats as president and as a human being.
It pains me to watch this and think how we went from smarts and class to dead brain and crass.
Drain the Swamp! so glad that Commie bastard is finally out of the White House.
The reason why we know Obama was a terrible president is because all you hear from sheeple is "he's so classy," "he's an eloquent speaker," or "he's very intelligent." Never do you hear about an actual policy change that made a difference.
soooooooooooooooooooooooo very true. He fucked up so much but dumb asses like Maher continued to sing his praises.
There's no denying that BO is an incredibly charming, classy dude. That doesn't mean he was the greatest Prez. I was quite optimistic when he was elected!! I believe he really had ambitions and thought maybe he could steamroll his way through DC. I bet tv commercials make you come, yes? But....
Nothing. He's the only major party candidate I ever voted for (2008). Always Third Party. And if the DNC doesn't grow up, I'll vote Trump in 2020 (though who knows if he'll run). Don't be pained, at least it's candid.
If he was a good president, Trump would not be our president.
Thank you, this was one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Great job from both of you.
Obama did more critical thinking in this interview than Trump has done in his whole life
He did a lot of critical thinking but showed very little action unfortunately.

Obama showed more intelligence in 60 seconds than Trump did in 2 years.
@@rasheedelakhlaqsiz4753 "Very little Action"? Saving the Economy, ACA, gay rights? Got Bin Laden. Nothing in your introverted little point of view, huh, Bub?
Trump is the president he most likely deals with highly classified information weekly. Stupid statement
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.
And he's one of the handsomest presidents we've ever had! :) That doesn't hurt. He was the whole package, that's for sure, and I'm sure he'll be an inspiration for many decades to come.
It's weird seeing the most powerful man in the world actually having an intellect higher than a fourth-grader.
I miss Obama. More and more every day.
... smokes Trump.
Update: the current president speaks at an under fourth grade level
What is America man

What I always appreciate about Obama is his willingness to think about a question before engaging his mouth to talk about it.
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.
@@Ozymandi_as Obama is A Nazi Marxist Nothing More And The Real President Over Biden telling him what to do it’s his 3 rd Presidency We All know Biden was his puppet😈😈😈😈
“Thank you for doing this for us.” Made me tear up.
He loved us. Genuinely.
@mrghost3601 Bruh, we've been spying and have had "diplomats" in our allies' countries for YEARS, Europe has been spying on each other (including allies) before America was even FOUNDED. What a dumb thing to attack Obama for, attack him for something that has substance.
@mrghost3601 No, I don't like the fact that he sent drones to the Middle East, and I think that is definitely more substantial of an argument and I 100% agree with you there. But I do think the spying thing holds no water.
Yeah, he’s all fluff. His healthcare plan was shit and his policies didn’t make a difference in anyone’s lives. He was more concerned with protecting special interests than the working class.
@@luvon1114 much better than the Republicans lol
tvaddictman they both the same: they are only concerned with getting elected to say they are president.
he was there 8 years and didn’t accomplish anything, but get rich people richer and poor people poorer.
The last five minutes were chilling-all of those things have come true since January 2017.
I miss complete sentences :p
Agreed
I know. Damn!
And words with more than one syllable!
And NOT repetitive words that describe how great he is. This is a man who had to learn "oh please, thank you" because of the many compliments and adoration he received; as opposed to Trump who invents his own greatness to give his followers something to repeat without witnessing it. Arggghhh! GW Bush may have been frustrating, but NEVER did he drop the bar this low for America and the world!
YOU?, shit son, we all do except for the idiots .
I watch this every month to stay sane
“If I watched Fox News, I wouldn’t vote for me either.”
This guy is the Jackie Robinson of politics. So many quotable moments.
All hat, no cattle.
If I watched CNN I'd shoot myself!
He is funny
@Doc Vega not really a big deal and most people cannot tell the future 100%.
Shutup moron.
I remember his 'A more perfect Union' speech and how impressed and moved I was by it, not as American (I'm European) but as member of global society and human being.
Rarely you can hear that level of analysis and depth of understanding social moment from politician.
It's sad that now all we hear is unintelligent babble from old man who never grew up.
sandelic l
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...
Now that's how a world leader should articulate a speech.
yes i agree leaders should be great actors to fool the people

Whether you agree with him or not, he spoke his mind clearly, and knew a LOT about how society works. Clinton and George W also spoke their minds openly. Unfortunately for all of us, trump only knows how to find his own ass. Congratulations, America.
A President who reads. I can't believe I just said that. Jeezis.
@J Crane happy enough with his humming and hawing, while he collects his thoughts choosing his words, and delivers an intelligent response.....
unlike Trump, who if he cannot answer a question just ignores it.... or shouts/screams/tweets insults at everyone. And if he can answer a question.... then it is Never intelligently !
President Obama is just a joy to listen to. No question is ignored and he has an honest answer for the rest.
