That’s on us. When democrats show up, we win. We still live in a misogynistic country. That’s why Hilary lost. Haley wouldn’t win either - especially amongst the biggest misogynists, republicans. Just vote! 💙
I really didn’t appreciate Obama when he was POTUS. Yes, I disagreed with his policies plenty but I took for granted civil discourse and disagreement. I miss him and moreover the political culture of the time.
Alot of America was tierd of this calm chaos and wanted change...he knows how to be calm and sell us war for citi bank...he did save my mother with the preexisting conditions clause in the ACA..but other than that it was all a sales pitch..
I love you Obama! But, the first thing I learned during 2016, and previously in 2000, is that we need to get rid of the Electoral College. The majority of people voted for Gore, and Hillary, but were eluded by this last vestige of the Confederacy. It needs to go away. If states with 150,000 people can determine how the majority (of which I grew up with when groups of us kids would raise our hands for the majority) of our country who hold a majority rule, and try to turn an 80% viewpoint it causes division. The majority of this country doesn't want Roe v Wade overturned, or LGBTQ rights overturned, or the right to contraception overturned. The Presidential election, should, like local elections be determined by popular vote. Period.
Exactly! Why do we even still have states that once were evenly populated like others, but they are not now (far ago, to be honest), and they don't deserve to have the same "political weight" as the densely populated ones...?! Why the heck both Dakotas have 2 senators each, similar to California, or Texas, or Florida...?! It's ridiculous! And unfair! And it distorts (political) reality!
The electoral college was put in place specifically to sabotage democracy and protect slavery. The one time it made sense to actually use it as such, in 2016, the option was ignored in favor of letting trump win. I'm not under any illusions that getting rid of it would actually make a real difference (Clinton in 2016 was a sacrificial candidate that the deep state, a strongly conservative entity that very much exists, actively tanked, culminating in the BS about Benghazi, including an investigation being launched WITHOUT EVIDENCE, days before the election), but when the explicit purpose of the electoral college was to protect stuff like slavery it's long past time for it to go.
Yes. But it's not going to happen. Not now. And not likely in my lifetime. So we have to live with it and _still_ work for progress. Yes, it will be harder. And it will be even _harder_ with the Christian Taliban in firm control of our Supreme Court. Our many, _many_ past mistakes make it far harder than it should be. But that's just reality. And just because it's hard, we can't give up. We can't wait until a fantasy future somehow arrives... by magic? No matter how hard it gets, we just have to keep working hard to move forward. And right now, that means accepting that the Electoral College is a thing. It's a thing in reality, right now - not forever, hopefully, but right now.
Inflation is around 10%. Prices have pretty much doubled. This isn’t inflation, IT’S PRICE GOUGING. Stop blaming the government. Blame republicans for being against every regulation that would stop price gouging.
@@philliphutcheson4219 Literally not true. You can look at any statistics from before and after the ACA that show that what you just said is a lie. Our health system isn’t socialized at all. We have private health companies and big pharma running our healthcare system. If you think our system is socialized, you’re literally a dunce. Obama guaranteed the right to healthcare for millions of people with preexisting conditions, expanded access to the poor and middle class who were constantly denied, and continue to provide incredible affordable care to millions around our country. It’s the most impactful law passed and signed in the 21st century so far, deal with it.
@@toterola451 He is also a decent president, its just that his age makes it so he can't be as energetic and his administration is absolutely terrible with communicating (when their opposing side is a propaganda powerhouse that is constantly devouring itself)
I'm a black voter and I know not one black voter my age voting for Donald Trump maybe that's because I'm 72 and have a full understanding of a working democracy🎉
I'm 72 as well. And I wish there were no _white_ voters voting for Donald Trump, either. And no voters staying home on election day. No voters throwing away their vote on some idiotic third part candidate. My wishes don't seem to matter too much, huh? Certainly, there's been progress in our lifetime. And as a straight white man in America, I've had every advantage, myself. But I'm finding it harder and harder to stay optimistic right now. I've opposed the GOP for a half-century now, ever since they first adopted their notorious "Southern strategy" of deliberately wooing white racists. And man, it's depressing how well that worked for them!
@@janicehenning4505there hasn’t been a good, decent man in the presidency since WWII, except maybe Jimmy Carter. Obama is better than some others though…
I disagreed with a LOT that he did, but by far the greatest president of the last 80 years. I miss just having a president that made it so I don't have to think about politics more than once every few years, no fear, just living life. Was proud to serve and be honorably discharged from the Army with his signature.
Hey, I'm genuinely curious. What sort of things he did that made you disagreed a lot with him? I'm trying to understand more of others' pov on his politics :)
@ivonr44 appreciate the question, lol it's making me have to think: Good things he did were Affordable Care Act, which was/is far from perfect but was a small step in the right direction. As a doctor who grew up without Healthcare, it's wildly important to get more people covered. He did a lot of pardons for low level crimes/time served and helped with a bit of prison reform. And solidified the Paris Climate Accord. And he brought us out of the great recession, which was brought on by subprime lending and mortgage crisis which overwhelmingly hurt people of color who historically have been restricted from buying property (which accounts for the majority or the wealth gap between white and black families). Increased training for teachers. All small steps in the right direction. He ended the isolation of cuba, which was dumb anyway. We as a country always try to fuck over any country that tries socialism or communism, then point to how bad socialism and communism are lol. After MERS Outbreak(another coronavirus), which was scary AF, not only did he handle it really well (or at least accepted that it was a real thing) he put more funding into the pandemic response team which monitors global trends in viruses, bacteria, protozoa and their genetic drift in case a shift happens as did with both SARS COV1 and COV2, and MERS. Which led him to have more solid strategies when Ebola landed in the US, which would have likely beed devastating if not for the response teams. The same ones that warned trump when he took office that something was incoming, and he responded by defunding them amd essentially gutting the program. Obviously was president when we killed Osama Bin Laden.. but then we also trained Osama Bin Laden also lol so. . For the bad: he very obviously still worked for wall street, he approved MASSIVE cuts to social security in the back of the house: in the 40s there were 41 employees per person receiving social security, and were now on track to have only 2. His hands off approach to civil war in Syria (part of it was Iram Deal) very likely led to another massive refugee crisis, but I don't necessarily know which would have been preferred personally. He didn't keep up with cyber threats of places like Russia, which are so powerful today likely because of funds going elsewhere. He promised to be super transparent, but wasn't, and was easily the mist antagonistic to the media since Nixon (but trump made him look amazing by comparison). He was REALLY shit with Netanyahu and allowed us not only to sit and watch the 50 year + humanitarian crisis that was happening in Gaza and West Bank, but actually funded Israel in their objectively criminal oppression of the Palestinians in these areas (that were Palestinian land since the time of the Romans). He appointed James Comey to head the FBI which has good and bad, but really there were better people for the job, but for some reason democratic presidents have some unspoken rule to always have a republican FBI director. He was VERY weak on banks/banking and let them steamroll him. By his time the GOP had already become essentially just a party of obstructionists and he continued to try and reach across the aisle and work with people who just fucked him over and stabbed Americans in the back repeadly (same as they do now, but they were a lot sneakier then). Was NOT very tough on funding investigations of very obvious gerrymandering and other forms of voters suppression. It is getting looked at and fixed now, but essentially entire districts of black and brown voters get chopped up into 15 parts and each one added to a white rural district to water down areas they know would certainly not vote GOP lol. That's why GOP has the representative numbers they do despite being very firmly in the minority in all but a few states. Lots of other voters suppression shit, same as we see now, it was just a lot sneakier. Now they straight up give the game away: young people 18-24 overwhelmingly vote Democrat, well let's raise the voting age to 25. College educated, and students vote democrat, let's remove all voting places near colleges and universities. Just flagrant very obvious bullshit, they used to be better lol. But you have to wonder how much of him being cordial and trying to be a team player was the result of him being the first black president. He used drones to kill SOOO many people and I would argue a lot of it was war criminal territory. His border policy was near criminal as well, and many would call it a humanitarian problem as well. Obama and Biden had all the cages and facilities built that trump used to do all of HIS shit at the border. I'm not saying there IS a good answer available for the southern border, but separating families, trying children alone with no representation, leaving them in prison camps for months, is a no go. But a wall is a retarded 4th grader answer to the issue. Admittedly Biden has improved the border issue, despite what the news would tell you. Crime is also at record lows, other than firearm violence, and hate crime. And fentanyl isn't coming over the border the way the news would like people to believe either lol. I was active duty army for his whole presidency, and wasn't really worried about him doing anything super dumb, but he did kill a lot of innocent people. Repeal of don't ask don't tell was a double edge sword as I can attest to as my wife and I knew a lot of gay people in the army. It was in some ways a huge win for gay rights, and you could be openly gay in the military. But for the actual gay people in the military it was quite scary, because it didn't end the bigotry and hatred with the repeal of the law. Before that you were straight up NOT allowed to ask somebody about their sexual orientation, and they didn't have to tell anyone. But overnight the joy of the moment got scary as people realized they weren't protected from being asked and a lot of hatred and violence occurred. I'm sure there are a lot of things I am forgetting. If you ask Fox News they'll say the worst things he did was: wore a tan suit once (Reagan did as well but they have selective memory), he wore short sleeves in the oval office once!!! And one time he DARED to ask for Dijon mustard on a hamburger! How dare he ask for "fancy mustard!?" He should eat american yellow like the rest of us!!!
@user-pq2nv7lt8n there were a lot of humanitarian things he either took a hands off approach to, or in some cases helped fund. Lots of drone strikes, innocent deaths. He took a hands off approach to a lot of things, but I think a lot of that had to have been the pressure of being the first black president and not wanting to rock the boat. Don't ask don't tell was a mix bag. A lot of little things: he was really weak on banking and wall street. There's a few more things I'm sure I'll remember as soon as I hit send lom
@@rickypen thank you for taking the time to explain your views! Appreciate it. Love the last part too. How controversial the tan suit and Dijon mustard were lol
Oh my goodness, how I so miss this fantastic human being President Obama as our leader. The days when we felt safe and that we were growing forward. His words are so deeply appreciated. Love and tears.
It just shows the idiocy of the American two-party electoral system, which is now more fragmented than ever before. America swings between the Bushs to the Obamas. Swinging between debt-exploding republican congresses to sensible democrat congresses. Now, the Maga bunch have meant there is no working together or crossing the aisle. Where the politicians who are only out for themselves is growing. I can't see an end to this. trump finally disappearing won't make much difference (except making me super happy not to see his stupid face or listen to his stupid whining). And you realise when you hear Obama talking, what a crap show trump and his enablers are.
Tell that to the Syrians and their country he illegally invaded his action caused all that destruction no one invaded Egypt the country was not destroyed, no one invaded Tunisia where it all started the country was not destroyed, Look what he did to Libya, sure you felt safe because you don't care what happen to other human being
As the world is heating up for war there is only one question I've been asking myself..."who would you rather have as President to navigate us through all these minefields?" Biden of course.
Well considering this guy is a Muslim who can quote the Quran front to back and speaks fluent Arabic it's not really a surprise that he lied about being a Christian. And what's even more noticeable is that he's not wearing his wedding ring
How much he is missed. What a phenomenal President, First Lady, First Family and Cabinet. A tradition carried out now by President Biden, VP Harris and their Cabinet. We can do this America, We have no Choice. Vote Blue🗳🗳🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
We need a think tank to make and track multi generational plans - to counter the Heritage Foundation et. al. Securing in the constitution voting rights in which One citizen = One vote. This would involve dissolution of the Electoral College and other voter subversion relics of the horse and buggy days. The USA needs to catch up to our sister and brother democracies in Australia, Canada and Europe. May be the Obama Foundation can build that think tank.
We need to meet up. The founders of the free world pushed the natives Americans onto Reservations and gave them the ability to govern themselves. This ended the savage wars and Indian barbarism of scalps. These people had been at war and killing each other for thousands of years. The founders of the greatest country in the world ended all that and gave them Civilization. Peace, prosperity. Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness .......... Maybe the Jews and Palestinians could LEARN FROM THE HORSE AND BUGGY DAYS. Maybe the solution is for the Jews to push the MUSL8M TERR8RISTS onto reservations???? To END THE KILLING OF CHILDEREN. What do you think about all that?
Wow this is just ridiculous logic you have Getting rid of the college would legit cause a second Civil War and stop comparing yourself to other stupid shit holes in Europe and Canada. This is why nobody likes you people for.
Obama is one of the premier bullshitters of all time. Don't get me wrong, he is an excellent public speaker who can speak for hour without ever saying anything factual or even true. A perfect politician for influencing American voters, many of whom are airheads.
My Grandfather was a 93 year old Norwegian farmer from rural South Dakota. He loved Barack Obama and used to say, "If he is elected, we might finally have a democracy." He passed a month before the election in 2008.
I'm so sorry for your loss Jessica and so sorry your grandfather didn't witness President Obama inthe physical world but I know his spirit was very Happy and Proud !!! Peace and Blessings 🙏🙌🫶
My husband was dying, so I didn’t even know Obama was President…until, I saw him speak and loved him immediately. Brilliant and handsome. To find out we got trump as backlash, because Obama was “black” was shocking. Obama was a brilliant, very well spoken, and handsome I guess I miss the vitriol. I thought we were way past that. What a damn shame
@@twylah9047wow you pathetic sore LOSER TRUMP supporters REALLY think AMERICANS will vote for a CORRUPT DISHONEST CRIMINAL RAPIST like DONALD Trump again huh.

@@eastcoasttransplant429me too. In tears about the decency,respect and absence of hate . Trump has made political discourse so negative and vitriolic, and in attempting to match their fire with fire of our own,we have developed calluses and stopped drawing on the highest parts of ourselves.
i am not american but obviously concerned about politics in the US because itimpacts all of us, whether we like it or not, but damn how i miss this guy being your President. i just see an interview with him, it doesnt matter the topic i listen, its a good way to relax and feel better
You want to know something interesting? The groups of people who would become the TRUMP M.A.G.A group both the electorate and the politicians. Vowed that they would make sure that he got nothing passed. Not only to stagnate the country but to make sure he would only be a one term president. Most of them were pissed he became president. Those people were the ones that stormed the capitol in January 6th. Pissed off for 8 years that we did have a traditional old white president.
People forget that Obama was seethingly distrustful of Netanyahu. Not Israel as a country, Netanyahu specifically. It's always been known that his means will lead to no end. I've always thought Obama held a sort of Mandela inspired view, that Israel has a right to exist within the security of their borders. But it does not have a right to occupy or hold the Golan heights which was conquered from the Arabs. Encroachment on Jerusalem etc etc.. all things which Bibi has never respected. I wonder if Obama has had the 'talk' with Joe.
I remember that. I believe he even discussed a two state solution and the occupation. Republicans screeched on Fox News that he was doing an 'apology tour' to the Middle East afterward and how he was 'leading from behind'. They were such A-holes. Bibi then got back at Obama by speaking in front of the Republican House without even clearing it with the Obama administration. Netanyahu has to go.
@wootmcgyver7530 I'm 66. Biden is the best president in my lifetime. Just one example? He's tossed out trickle-down economics, something bold and something even Obama didn't do. Biden has my vote in 2024. And Pete will have my vote in 2028 if he runs.
I’ll never forget election night in Grant Park in 2008. Can’t believe it’s been 15 years already. We got 8 good years and were blissfully unaware of the horrors the GOP would unleash on the country (and on the world, really) 8 years later.
Oh, my goodness, you're right, we had absolutely no idea what we we're facing after President Obama. I knew we were in for a let down with Trump, but had no idea how much of a let down.
THEN YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT KENNEDY. HE WAS SUCH A BLESSING TOO. THE ONLY PRESIDENT WHO REMINDS ME OF PRESIDENT OBAMA. WELL, I GUESS I SHOULD SAY POTUS OBAMA REMINDS ME OF POTUS KENNEDY. MY 2 FAVORITES!!!
I just bumped in to this. I’m sitting here with tears, just listening to his voice. His reason. And I would give a limb to go back to this. What has happened to this country since 2016 is just mind boggling. Those are 8 years I’ll never forget. And I hope the history books reflect this, too. But we know how that might end. I personally feel the closest connection we have to Barack and this state of mind is Pete Buttigieg. This left me so emotional. God help us all.
There are times I wonder to myself, "How the heck did Obama win the presidency of the United States?", and then I listen to him talk for about 2 minutes and am like, "oh yeah, that's how."
So maybe you can answer this.."How thd heck did Mr T***p win the presidency of the United States?" I listen to him talk for about 2 minutes and I am feeling, "Omigosh I think I am going to be sick to my stomach."
@@floridamanrides863 Look, if you didnt understand what he said thats fine. These days its a change of pace when someone gives a nuanced answer to a complex question. I realise people want to be just given a simple, easy to digest answer. Yes, no or a soundbite sized phrase But rarely does the world work in black and white. Sometimes a longer answer is required to clearly comunicate a position and i miss the time when our leaders would take the time to do so.
@@jojimbo136 nope. Here’s what politicians do, Obama is one of the best at it. They make vague statements and lofty rhetoric that you will intern give meaning to. They are saying nothing and you are giving it meaning.
I've always said he showed us who he worked for every speech he gave with the Islamic prayer flag behind him instead of the American flag. Swish tail Barry boy will never be back.
one thing Obama didn´t include are the people he was able to reach around the world. As horrible it is to know that someone like Trump was able to stomp on hopes ... Obama gave the world a sign of sanity and hope. Thankful greetings from europe
@@colleenbrady9675 Obama is a Communist that severely damaged the USA. He is still pulling the strings of the puppet Biden. USA needs Trump. We both know this.
Obamas entire presidency was literally 8 years of America at war. over half a million innocent civilians killed. Its because of him that boys and men are going into your little girls bathrooms, locker rooms and undressing in front of them. He bailed out the banks that screwed over the people. He helped Marxist group BLM with their funding and then subsequent rioting and looting that destroyed 2 cities and left people dead and then went on to steal 90 million dollars and buy mansions. On the day that children at Uvalde were killed he instead posted a pictured of criminal crackhead george floyd. And btw it was a mentally ill confused trans person that he propped up killed those children. And he said nothing of importance in this interview. He gets and accepts interviews with people that ask him nothing to challenge him. but you are not intelligent enough to see through his bs
He was a mediocre President at best. Obamacare(the UNaffordable Health Care Act)premiums up 300%. SOLYNDRA the GOLD standard for GREEN energy(now BANKRUPT). ENDLESS screwups. Alex Epstein 's "FOSSIL FUTURE "on sale now.The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels. HUMAN FLOURISHING
He was NO Lincoln. He benefited from lincoln but he never will be the caliber of man lincoln was. Obama had his chance with dems controlling all 3 houses and yet…. No where close to the courage to push for positive change for society like Lincoln. Lincoln wasnt bought by wealthy donors either. People get too gooey and dreamy eyed about obama. I voted for him and i have respect but I do not get gooshy about it just because he is intelligent, speaks well and has natural charisma. You can do that and still murder more people with drones than ever before (as one small example).
There is no doubt that we need more voices like Obama...mindful, thoughtfully challenging what needs to be challenged both inside and outside the Democratic Party. Never get stuck in the mud where you can't see or move forward.
Obama is a fruit cake... He was a lousy President , one of the worst in history. Self admitted he is LAZY .. My mother always used to say: The older you get, the better you get, unless you’re a banana.
As Ovomit ages, the physical veneer on Obama wears thin and shows how bitter he has always been. A true fake and phony guy. Snake oil salesman. The antichrist with out question. We need to research our candidates and what they stand for, and follow their voting records and discern whom they really represent?
I grew up in the Midwest, USA. I've been in California at least 40 years, and have met people from all over the world here, different cultures, and we've all learned to live together and get along, many have been immigrants. Don't dismiss California as the worst. The weather is the best, and the people are better than you might think.
I can not stand listening to the lying criminal defendant. Obama’s intelligence and kindness heals my brain and soul. How did we get where we are right now? VOTE blue and make this nightmare end.
yeah, well they also become very out of touch with the changing times, are not as sharp, and continue with failed policies. That's one reason it takes so long for laws to catch up with the people. i think we need some young blood at the helm.

@@corndog1868 Not at all. President Biden is his own man and he is a great man in his own right. It's why former President Obama chose him to be his Vice President.

President Biden is older but he is kind, intelligent, experienced and very good cleaning up after dtraitor and going on to make a huge number of accomplishments!
@twylah9047 how so ? Obama has a very clean record. He's kind, honest, intelligent, empathetic. He's a good husband and a very loving father. He's a great role model. Unfortunately, not everyone in this country was ready for a black president. Sadly, there has been considerable push back since Obama scared the hell out of racists, white supremacists, lots of underground people who kept their evil hidden, their racism and misogyny covered. Dt gave them permission to be their worst selves. 😢
Wow, wow, wow ... just what I (and your country) need at this moment, a thoughtful and healing dose of Obama! No ranting, no focusing on the handful of ugly egoists who are whipping up all the worst feelings and fears in the population. Just a calm and inspiring guide to a better way of going forward - TOGETHER! That's a leader!
he is the antichrist and has all of america deceived, except for the elect, we see who he is and you will all see very soon as he’s coming back into power to bring peace out the middle east then reveal himself as the man of sin.

I love the honesty and thoughtful responses and input of you all! Love Obama forever and Michelle you are more than a First Lady you are the best lady ❤️
I miss President Obama as the adult in the room in government. The deliberatness and depth of consideration of his speech are what drew me to vote for him. I think he would bring that to the table as a diplomat on the international stage, and I think we need that desperately.
Obama the dude behind the opioid crisis and prolong the Afghanistan war is still around.. Obama did enough damage to America.. He also created the WOKE kids.. You didn't know that did you??
Interesting. There are 102 likes, so to the people who felt free to criticize a good former president, let me just return the favor for Trump's presidency: Orange suits him. Head to toe.
When Obama took office on January 20, 2009, housing prices were in free fall, hundreds of thousands of jobs were being lost each month, and the lending industry was overwhelmed by a tidal wave of foreclosures. Obama saved the banks and put the American people in the street. OH YEA such a compassionate snake oil sales man.
@@chadabercrombie6860 Plenty of change for a lot of people, especially those who started getting healthcare, even with a pre-existing condition. I was able to buy my first house with his program, which set me on a good path when I was able to sell it for a huge profit 2 years ago. People were pretty psyched when he got Osama too. Wonder if Trump would have been able to keep his mouth shut about that for like 10 min? Do a little research and see what the economy was like when he started and what he handed over to Trump. If you stopped trolling you could start learning
@@sandyago4735 its so funny how the right sees him as, simultaneously, the most incompetent president ever incapable of accomplishing anything and also the calculating mastermind who is controlling and causing every bad thing in the world.
Amen! Especially since i was raised in a radical republican religious household. I turned 18 a couple months before the first election with Obama. I voted against him. I mourned when he won. I voted against him a second time. But by the time he was leaving the white house i was away from my family and had changed my mind on many issues such that i couldnt vote for drump. And now I'm an independent who votes democrat a lot. People change, folks. Me now looking back at me 15 years ago gives me hope for people now changing. I changed because people were gentle and kind in challenging the beliefs i had never thought of differently before. Theres hope for change, folks!
Thanks very much for sharing this story of being a former anti-Obama, anti-Dem voter who was persuaded to change your radical Republican views. Could you share with us one of the circumstances where you were persuaded to change your view on an issue? It would be very enlightening and much appreciated.
@@filmneyeI believe you should address your question directly to him, then he may answer you, otherwise he will never see your comment...hope he answers
How do you change the mindset and thinking of people who would storm the capitol and try to overthrow the government. How do you change the mindset of people who would support a compulsive liar like Trump knowing his only agenda is to be a dictator . I guess there's still some things to be hopeful for but I'm not that optimistic seeing how people vote against their own best interests just to support a fake narrative.
When I remember voting for this man twice, I tear up just like I did listening to his response to the very first question. He’s simply a good, thoughtful, compassionate, loving caring and charismatic human being. We had the chance to see what we can do and who we can be as a nation. Thank you Mr. President
Of all the Presidents in my lifetime (starting with LBJ), Barack Obama I regard as one of our better ones. Charismatic, brilliant, inspirational, always speaking to what is best about the United States. It's sad that there are people in the U.S. full of unreasoning hatred and disdain for him, in part because he's an African American (albeit one with a white mother). These people would rather listen to the siren song of hateful, fascist and racist demagogues who are only interested in acquiring power and control for themselves, rather than serving the best interests of all Americans.
as much as I was frustrated by a lot of his decisions in office, no one can deny how much class this fella has. I am not a fan of the democratic establishment, but have no regrets in voting for him both terms.
he is the antichrist and has all of america deceived, except for the elect, we see who he is and you will all see very soon as he’s coming back into power to bring peace out the middle east then reveal himself as the man of sin.
Biden might be old, but because of his very experience, we have pulled out ahead of this pandemic. He might walk a little creeky, but he knows government. He knows which levers to push and pull. I think he has been an extraordinary President!
No!!! Joe Biden and His Administration is the just the New Pro-War George W.Bush Administration just without all of its Hardcore Christian fundamentalists. Biden, the U.S Government and Our Corrupt U.S Corporate Media and Cable News Outlet are lying to Us, Manipulating the Truths and the Realities of the American People. This is Unforgivable!!!
President Obama, I adore your expressions of the truth. You are 100% right on target. I also adore you, Michelle and your entire family. Thanks, boys, for this wonderful sit down. Love what you kids do. 💙🇺🇸🌊
Love,respect, empathy and compassion are all the emotions I am filled with from listening to this man...a true leader of a country that could lead the other countries in another time. We are just too impatient and individualistic now. Love and respect
