7 Memorable Barack Obama Moments | The Daily Show 

Thats a very funny April Fool's joke

We have had no "fantastic president", you are politically illiterate.

a fantastic KKK party president - - - $4.6 Trillion in Additional Federal Deficits Upon taking office in January 2009, President Obama inherited a budget deficit that had soared from $161 billion in 2007 to a recession-slammed $1.186 trillion estimate for 2009. The January 2009 CBO baseline budget projection for 2009-19-which already incorporated the effects of the year-old recession in its projections-estimated that a strong economic recovery and the expiration of certain tax cuts would return the annual budget deficit to approximately $260 billion by 2012. In other words, the projections assumed that the high recessionary deficits would quickly fall back to earlier levels. Overall, CBO estimated that there would be $4.32 trillion in total budget deficits over the decade. That is not what happened. Figure 1 shows that, as Obama left office, the 2009-19 budget deficits were now estimated to total $8.93 trillion-more than double the initial projections. Annual budget deficits remained above $1 trillion through 2012, fell to $438 billion by 2015, and have since begun rising once again. While current deficits of 3% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) are not historically atypical, they are significantly higher than the default baseline when Obama took office. These deficits also exceeded the president’s own targets. A month after his inauguration, Obama pledged to “cut the deficit we inherited by half by the end of my first term in office.”[4] Instead, the inherited $1.186 trillion was pushed up to $1.413 trillion by 2009 stimulus legislation, and then remained over $1 trillion throughout the president’s first term

Only thing incredible about him is how many weapons he used to butcher innocents in the middle east. He's a war criminal.

Me too

I really think things have took a turn for the worst don’t you?

😢 I miss him Every Day!!! 😢❤❤❤❤❤

Oh YES! You mein Trump! Me 2!

Okay now, you seem like a lovely person and I’m sure you’re kind and generous and caring but … Imma have to hate you now. 🤣 I volunteered for his senate campaign from afar (we are military) and I’m so envious of your getting to meet him that yeah, we can’t be friends anymore. 😉

If he was so amazing why didn't he do anything about climate change, the war in Afghanistan, or the early 2010s supreme court?

@@mars7304Because he can’t work miracles. Gee…what a concept. He got a lot of very important things done. Name a president in the last 40 decades who created from the ground up a healthcare plan for all? Before you say it…it’s not perfect. It has saved millions and it’s not just healthcare, as in seeing doctors, that it covers. He defeated the recession and inflation. inflation. He reduced unemployment, created jobs, and lowered the deficit that republican presidents love to explode. NO president can change EVERYTHING in 4 or 8 years!!! Climate change? You literally cannot solve climate change! Laws can be made, usually by states. You know who it’s up to the most? EVERYONE on this planet doing their part.

​@@4EverGoth Medicare was created as a nationwide Healthcare system decades before Obama took office. He's not the first nor the last President to implement his own Healthcare system. Obama care, by the way, was so diluted by Republicans by the time the bill passed that it became less effective. Our Healthcare system is among the most expensive and least efficient in the developed world today, so I'd hardly call that a win.

​@@4EverGoth he didn't defeat the recession, he just temporarily pushed it back. Our economy sees a recession every few decades, that's how it works. Every president claims to have lowered unemployment and inflation. Doesn't make it true. Also the "deficit" is mostly just a political talking point politicians use to make it seem like their hands are tied. Please do research into these topics. I know you mean well, most democrats do. I just don't think you realize the harm they do as well, because you worry about Republicans so much it's hard to see the harm done by your own side.

You do know he'll never see this, right? Also that means you voted for Bush, which means you're still despicable.

Have you voted Democrat since then? I'd assume so, considering the recent candidates of the Republican party, but I'm curious.

And is also gracious, as well as being able to take it on the chin when a mistake is made. I burst into tears during his last media speech when he said, & I'm paraphrasing, "All the successes made during my tenure were a communal action. All the failures made during my tenure were mine alone." It takes a mature, responsible person to give credit where credit is due, as well as admit their failures & state them out loud for all to hear. I was never more impressed with & honored to be represented by a USA President than I was that day.

That's a low bar .

@@dee_dee_place and the speech HAD NO FACTS - - - In eight years, President Obama signed legislation that cumulatively added $4,988 billion in budget deficits over 2009-19. Taxes were reduced by $3.120 trillion, program spending increased $758 billion, and $1.110 trillion in interest costs resulted.

“… having a president WHO can speak…”

And I miss having a president THAT WERE NOT WAR MONGERING A. HOLES PRESIDENTS LIKE Jimmy Carter and John Kennedy'. 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Cherished American values like selling unmanned drones to blow up civilian weddings in the middle east?

You must really hate Yemen and Afghanistan.

Yemen civilians weren't lucky when Obama decided to use drones to bomb them.

The middle east hated Obama just as much as they hated Trump and continue to hate Biden. Only an American could think the world was lucky that anyone in America rose to power.

Yep Barack Obama is absolutely the best president of the United States in my lifetime, and I'm a 63-year-old white guy in the US Midwest!

Yeah it was really cool when he sent drones to bomb weddings in Yemen! 🤨

@@mars7304I really loved the way he stripped us habeas corpus. And the way he opened the arctic for oil drilling too! But what makes him especially cool is how he not only went to Flint and told the people of Flint, Michigan to drink poisoned water, but when he pretended to take a sip to convince people that it was fine to drink.

Trump isn't unique. Democrats and Republicans alike aspire to amass enough power to control the government. Pelosi did it through stocks and insider trading. Trump did it through attacking the right to vote. Both accomplish the same goal.

That's how I was introduced to him too! We need to be rid of the scourge of MAGAts.

I really think things have took a turn for the worst don’t you?

@@JamesGraham-qv2sy -- Trump made it Ok to be rude and nasty-- I don’t ever remember any president ever call their rivals such derogatory names-and advocate violence like Trump has done..-- what has made all this even harder is that people just are stopping from talking to each other-- they may be close by but still text to each other-- texting is not the same as talking- there is not the “ warmth” in texting- it is becoming easier just not to care-I just don’t understand why these MAGA people are so anxious to give up their democracy to someone who wants to be a dictator King on a golden throne

I saw that speech, and thought “that man is going to be President”. I miss him so much. He is a national treasure.

He was a great president 😊so classy

Yes. I love him so much.

Confidence and media training* If he had any dignity he wouldn't lie to the American people about what he did while in office.

Now mention how you feel about Biden

Obama lied constantly about his intentions in office and his retreating from politics after his presidency SHOULD reveal that to you. Too bad it won't, because you people think being in office is a sign of merit. It's really just about money.

Every President since JFK has been terrible

on a KKK "communication" sense - - - Extending tax cuts inherited from previous administrations ($4,135 billion). The most expensive bills signed by President Obama did not reflect major policy changes; they were instead extensions of tax cuts that had been scheduled to expire. This includes extensions of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts originally signed by President George W. Bush ($1,660 billion), the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) “patch”[10] ($1,247 billion), and a series of small tax cuts known as the “tax extenders” that Congress regularly renews every December ($481 billion). Because this raised the national debt, it also added $747 billion in interest costs. Following a two-year extension enacted in December 2010, the AMT patch and most of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts were finally made permanent in January 2013, and many annual tax extenders were made permanent in December 2015.

@@user-me3ok8gz3e JFK was one of the worst - - - In retrospect, he spent his 35 months in the White House stumbling from crisis to fiasco. He came into office and okayed the Bay of Pigs invasion. Then he went to a Vienna summit conference and got his clock cleaned by Khrushchev. That led to, among other things, the Cuban missile crisis and a whiff of nuclear apocalypse. Looming over it all is the American descent into Vietnam. The assassination of Vietnam’s President Diem on Kennedy’s watch may have been one of the two biggest mistakes of the war there. (The other was the decision to wage a war of attrition on the unexamined assumption that Hanoi would buckle under the pain.

Nowadays his daughters are criticizing his do-nothing approach to climate change.

@@mars7304 odd... I was unaware he was in office...

@aprivera103105 he was in office for upwards of a decade, 8 of those years as president. And his children now have criticized his lack of action on climate change during those years. Do better. You know what I said, and you shouldn't pretend to understand the Presidents relationship with his children if you won't keep up on all the details of it.

If ONLY he was as smart as trump and attempted to overthrow the election, and the peaceful transition of power.😊

I really think things have took a turn for the worst don’t you?

So do I

I hope if you meet him you can ask him what the people of Yemen and Afghanistan did to deserve so many innocents dying.

What? Are you talking about Obama as President? Or NEO from the Matrix? 😂

😂

He can play the race card loser

I don't know if this is sarcasm or not but some of us finally had insurance because of Obama care

why?

That's a lie

Quite often people make statements that are impactful and cause those around them to think, then there are people like you for whom stupidity is your greatest gift.

Work hard as in everyone can help battle it.

​@@4EverGoth that's not true. Name one way an individual could help climate change and I can tell you why that's false.

They need to here you

You were clearly watching a different interview than I was. He was excited because he was meeting his " hero" his admiration for the man is absolutely apparent.

Same Video, different opion on how to speak with the president

That's what you care about? All the political topics associated with Ohama and you care about how Americans pronounce things?

I know that and it drives me bonkers when I hear it

@@mars7304 Yes! I can care for multiple things at the same time 🤗😄

💀

RWJ!!

Troll

Very funny...heh-heh-heh-heh... 🙄

​@@JazznRealHipHopcry more... Odumbo is a traitor... fast & furious much?!?... 🤦‍♂️🙄🤦‍♂️

​@@nunyadambusiness6902Education is not an evil thing ,it won't hurt you. 😢

Life has not been kind to you has it ?

This comment is one of the biggest disappointments in mine

Thank you for your thoughtful response. Now go find someone who cares what you think.

Yeah ima have to respectfully point out that not just one country disagrees but the kid can call on several wholeheartedly different types of cultures and across languages that'll also agree he is definitely not just funny but witty and very well versed in world affairs as well as the philanthropic and volunteer speaking to youth groups. He has been influential in enticing the youth to get up and vote in not one but two elections . That being said I totally understand you are not of this opinion and can like or dislike anyone you want and just may not see it the same say as millions of people who don't share your perspectives and all. I can't stand Dennis Miller but that doesn't stop him from being on stage and signing autographs an being way more known than what a random pos named Sage thinks about comedy

He really isn't. You just aren't smart enough to understand what he's saying 😂

He is also handsome and that's why a lot of men claim that he is " not funny"😂 They think comedy should solely be the Providence of unattractive men.

The Gates Foundation, like all billionaire charity funds, is just a tax haven they make donations from to keep their billions safe. Maybe if they wanted to solve the issues in our education system instead of giving bandaids out for it, they could be respectable.

All Presidents are war criminals considering this country has only known maybe 3 decades of peace collectively since its inception. One war after another, means all Presidents have blood on their hands.
