Obama Candid Answers To Intern Questions- Full Video 

way to not be cynical

Facts

Take me to your leader

which country did they steal him from?

I've just recently been going back and listening to some of Obama's addresses, press briefings, and conferences. I've forgotten what a president should sound like - what a leader should sound like. Did I always agree with the Obama administration? No. But I miss it so, so damned much. I miss the times when I felt that our president had the best interest of *everybody*, and not a select group of people, in mind. I miss the times when I felt that our president could represent our nation on the international stage in an intelligent and professional manner. And I miss the times when our president instilled a feeling of hope for the future rather than a feeling of fear.

its easy to be liked hard to be right

Or even just speak in complete sentences.

LOL - Telepromter man who never had a job. Someone I'd want to listen to. Get serious.

@@abraham802 hard to be right? because the current potus is not right about .......take ur pick.

hi

Chills

Exactly at that time I though the same, but who wouldn't ? Damn!!

Can we start going forward now

Doorman in 2024 or 2028 we can

It’s always true, though. We are ALWAYS in danger of taking 2 steps back.

He’s right though. Think just how many people are qualified for the job. And even though he’s a terrific orator, people only knew that after he was selected (as a Freshman Senator) to be the keynote speaker for Kerry in 2004.

Trump would be like: I'm your president, so that makes me smart, so smart. Some people even say that I'm the smartest of all the presidents. The genius run in the family you know. I can't help it, I just know stuff better than anybody else

Fei Zeng 😂😂🤣🤣

When preparation and opportunity meet it's called luck

@@awolpete10 when preparation and opportunity meet its called being smart

Definitely! I am very grateful that I was able to vote for such a charismatic, caring, and genuine president for TWO terms. It was the hope I had needed as a first time voter the first round and as an Obama advocate on the second round.

He could but it would be a couple hours of rambling crazy talk

@@redskins3656 No. The conservatives didn't give Obama a chance too on their platform. McConnell famously said that the GOP's goal should be to make Obama an one term president. They also pushed for the birther theory, even though it was debunked many many times. And do you remember a time when media outrage came from Obama saluting a Marine with a coffee in his hand, and not from admitting on tape you've played down a threat that ends up costing more than 210,000 American deaths (and counting)? No, Obama was never given that chance with the conservatives, so he created his own opportunities for moments like this. This is something Trump can never, and will never do.

@@redskins3656 Hoax? May I remind you that both the Mueller report (written by a life long Republican), and the recently released bipartisan Senate Intelligence committee report on Russia misinformation campaign both confirmed Russia's intention to help Trump win, by " overtly and almost invariably supportive of then-candidate Trump, and to the detriment of Secretary Clinton's campaign." Additionally, the Mueller report, and Robert Mueller himself, said his report did not exonerate Trump, including obstruction of justice. So no, the only hoax regarding the Russia meddling in our election is the Trump Admin and GOP's attempt at preventing the truth from coming out.

@@redskins3656 you didn't listen to this speech with these children. The current guy, will NEVER come close to speaking to anyone in a manner like this. He can't. Not even to his own children. He offered College players that won a National championship , hamburgers and mcnuggets and fries instead of Steak ??? Just stop already.

Yeah.. I came here to be reminded what having a real President is like, instead of the feckless retard we have now

Yeah, as a German, I really like to remember an American president who is eloquent, social, intelligent, interested in people, caring, doing the best for human beings what he can, being not without failures, but trying to work for making a difference! 👍🙌💞

yep. I appreciate it a lot more now

exactly, i needed a break

@@9753flyer sammmmmeee. Feelsgoodman.

Well done for being reasonable. A lot of people apparently can't be, not when it comes to politics.

well said.

Obama is great human being. Some of his unilateral policies on Iran nuclear program and DACA are questionable. I applaud him for healthcare that 20 million uninsured needed even if I have to pay a little more premium. Having said that Trump is an ass and can’t wait for home to lose

People can now see how behaviour spills over into their decision making and realise how important it is that people have to be careful in picking their representatives and truly think through before they vote

Well I am also more of a conservative but way to close to the center to be consider as one by my peers, I totally agree with you, he has shown how a leader should behave, he knows how to speak while the 45th is only good at ranting and bullying along with disrespecting. I appreciate Mr. Obama answers and find in him the man the 45th will never be able to be !

Obama's speech pattern is how you talk when you have smoked so much weed that your brain is baked on the stuff.

Agreed!

@@triplethreatcga2358 Really! Is that the way you could discredit him? Have some respect at least. Come on!

@@triplethreatcga2358 had to like your own comment eh? Trump doesn't have a speech pattern because syphilis is eating his brain.

What you think Trump he can analyse well you know…..🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Look at Brazil: how come Brazilians ended up with such a moron running that very country? he he he ....

Whatever people may say, I don't think Obama was actually racist, especially not against black people

The U S and A are a country whose two leading parties have views that most of the time go in complete different directions. A democrat USA is totally different from a republican USA. Which is weird to me tbh. Almost nobody who is politically active thinks "Nah... I don't really care who wins." Almost everyone thinks "NOT THIS GUY FFS". There is so little common ground with both parties... it's rediculus that this is a single nation

Trump didnt start a war unlinke Obama, so imo Obama sucks more. If i write this people always dont answer, because they dunno what to say and prolly will u. :D

@@spidermonkey8430 and trump has directly caused one of the largest recessions the US has ever seen.

@@Gingenuity That's a bit unfair considering the you know what.

@@epiphany55 you know what's unfair? Biden winning the presidency and in the FIRST TIME in US history a sitting president is claiming voter fraud because he has a fragile ego. It's unfair that he can come forth with zero evidence and y'all eat it up as if it's a fact. Even fox news stated trump is full of shit and you immediately turn on them. You have attacked anyone that ever has a bad word to say about trump. Not everything is about the fucking white house. So sick of this BS but I know it's not going away because trump can't face that he lost and people don't like him.

What? A do nothing pot smoker? Might as well have elected Hillary Clinton years ago than Obama.

@@triplethreatcga2358 are just on here to comment on everyone who says something positive about Obama, instead of praising President Doofus? You have no real arguments. You're just exposing your lack of intelligence to the internet.

At least he respected women unlike who we have in office now

he brought back 1800's style chattel slavery for blacks in libya, that is NOT a class act

Basketball Man is a paid shill for fox news

I thought it was quite interesting how he said that these young folks were the most secure generation in the most prosperous time period. You can definitely hear the echoes of history in that statement. At the time he said it, this statement might have seemed optimistic. But now, under the Trump era, it is more clear than ever that Obama’s incrementalism blinded him to genuine disillusionment in the country. You get half-results with half-measures and it could all be dismantled in the blink of an eye, just like Obamacare, if you don’t take your job seriously, Mr. President. You were in a bubble, and you actively stood against progressive policies only to later pretend like you supported them but were forced to settle for less due to so-called ‘pragmatism’. History does not occur in a vacuum; you directly produced the Trump presidency and all of the disasters that came with it. All of the issues that you pretended to care about (military-industrial-complex, income-inequality, justice reform, etc.) deteriorated under your tenure, will now deteriorate significantly under Trump’s, and it’s your fault for not cementing actual precedents. With the weight of the financial crisis, you had the power to repeat history and fundamentally transform America just like FDR’s New Deal during the Great Depression. Yet, you chose to be a product of your time and preach for incrementalism. To paraphrase MLK, the time is always right to do what is right. History books will record your neoliberal legacy correctly and identify your statement for what it really was: not complacent, but complicit. Perhaps the most upsetting fact is that the man who mobilized the younger generation under the banner “Yes We Can”, was the same man that repackaged complicity as complacency and tried to sell it as wisdom to that very same generation.

@@efef6853 open your eyes it’s better then killing 250,000 Americans cause one can’t admit self’s failure to protect the nation. Hides it from the public when the public clearly knows of it at least the ones with a brain. And proceeds to contract it themselves? What? And blaming another country just because they started it, not because one self ego and self needs got in the way? It boils down to little kids in the play ground child starts a fight with another child, child 2. Says child 1 started it that’s why I started fighting with them. While child 1 got their crap together and now is going better then child 2 who prolonged it. Instead of being the better person and flat out ignoring child 1 and staying disciplined to know their better than that and to not prolong a childish action. Bottom line is that your argument is so petty and microscopic compared to the the damage, plus bridges burned that our current president has done.

Do people of Libya, Iraq, Syria, Somali and Sudan do the same? Obama caused death of hundreds of thousands by spreading ISIS and proxy war of Shia Sunni, besides millions of refugees

yeah, you gotta judge a presidency by its results, not the optics. he talked the talk, but furthered a brutal american imperialism and unbridled financial sector at home.

@@ahmedadl626 unfortunately that’s a piece of misinformation, there were more drone strikes in Trumps first two years in office than Obama’s 8 years. Furthermore Trump revoked an Obama era rule on reporting drone strikes, so his numbers may not even be accurate.

@@CatatonicImperfect “unbridled financial sector” Obama not only brought the US out of the 2008 financial crisis but the drastically improved the economic landscape. 11.6 million jobs created, unemployment rate dropped by 4.7, average weekly earnings for all workers up 4.2%. The numbers don’t lie.

@@curiousguy310 it's difficult to judge because we don't know- or at least I don't know all the elements involved, and I don't have enough knowledge to take a firm stance on either side of judgement. but seeing this video makes it easier for me to believe that he at least did all those with the best of intentions. there have been moments in my life if the greater context wasn't revealed, an observing party would have judged me badly, but I acted with the best of intentions for all those involved. and the outcome may not have been perfect, but it's also impossible to say that the other outcome possibilities would have been "better". I also am beginning to understand that no single issue stands all by itself. there are multitudes of layers an issue shares its platform with- much that seem unrelated gets taken into consideration. sometimes the best decision is the least popular and seemingly wrong- simply because not all can be seen by everyone. but you could be right too- those could have been a terrible choice over other options. here's the way I see it though: i can consider him 1) having made good decisions, with good intentions. 2) having made bad decisions, with good intentions 3) having made bad decisions, with bad intentions 4) having made good decisions, with bad intensions. he seems like a decent person- he could be a sociopath but I don't get that feel. so I don't think he's made any decisions with bad or selfish intent. so that leaves 1) having made good decisions with good intensions, or 2) having made bad decisions with good intentions. the thing is, I don't think bad decisions can be had with good intentions. it's what the best possible outcome was available then, with the knowledge and experience at that time. if you regret, then you hopefully learn and make better decisions in the future. if you don't learn, then either you are incompetent or you're fooling yourself- to which then I say he has bad intentions since he makes bad decisions knowingly. and I don't think he's incompetent. so despite agreeing with you an your list of things that are either seemingly a bad decision or was in fact a bad decision, how I see the person of Obama is that he's probably made both bad and good decisions with good intensions. and observing how he analyzes and sees how various things are related during his answers, he does seem very thoughtful and articulate, compared to most people I've met in my life and have observed on video.

curiousguy310 The war wasn’t prompted because of oil (war is almost never about oil, since there’s an abundance), that’s just what the headlines want you to believe. The war was to confiscate American military weapons that were left there during their war against Saddam Hussein. These weapons were being used and sold to terrorist groups. When Saddam was killed, it left a power vacuum for jihadist groups to take over the country. This is also a reason why President Obama bombed. Yes, there were innocent civilians, but they targeted that area because of its high rates of terrorist groups. More than likely, those innocent civilians would have been killed in the arms of jihadists or would have been forced into such group. That’s a “game move” that the President was willing to take. I’m sure it was a hard pill to swallow. Now, the jihadists know better than to only promote in their communities. They promote overseas (1) to avoid getting bombed and (2) having a possibility that more than one “important” leader being killed. It’s much easier to catch these smaller jihadist oversea groups than to have a whole country that is overturned by jihadists. The amount of power a country of jihads would have had is astronomical. They most likely would have tried to take over the whole Middle Eastern hemisphere.

Clearly he knew...

Aaron Kempster it was at the start of 2016 there’s not way he knew Cheeto man would become president

TimidBlaze It’s not about “Cheeto man” it’s about the fact that it happens through out history over and over and he’s stating what is true. Trump isn’t the first bump in the road my friend. Nothing says what direction we head, it’s only obvious when looking back.

Aaron Kempster I’m Australian so I’m sure I could stand to learn more about murican politics

TimidBlaze It’s global politics, every nation ever. You think the Prussians knew they’d cease to exist, or the romans knew they’d fall, or the Europeans during the Black Plague knew they’d make it? Things happen, we make the story later.

Agreed.It took me a long time to learn this-but there's a difference between being a boss and being a leader.Sometimes someone can be both and Obama was without question.both. He was a good leader as President. The current occupant of The White House is just a boss,he's not a leader of any kind.

Ironic thing is that he ain't even human

Good point but I hope you remember that he did reach across the aisle but the other side was so resolutely against him that they rebuffed his every attempt. Remember Mitch's vow to make him a one term president on his first few days in office?! They were so close minded and resistant to his every move and only when the Dems took the house could he advance his agenda. In hindsight, It's crazy how they resisted someone with values like Obama and kowtowed to Trump's every whim regardless of how cruel, evil and illegal.

@@ayeeshahm9078 yeah I know. That's why I said it had more to do with Tea Party Hardliners. But Obama did make mistakes early on. He will admit that. When he first ran, I liked him but I felt he needed more experience. At the time I preferred Senator McCain. But his campaign screwed up by choosing Palin as a running mate and that is why I chose to vote 3rd party in 2008. Trump has ruined the Republican Party for years to come. It's unfortunate. Because we need government working together not against each other.

Obama was respected and appreciated internationally, it gives softpower and lets you get things done on things trade/diplomacy/cooperation... giving growth to both countries. Trump has pissed off nearly every ally and neutral countries by repeatedly insulting them, acting arrogant believing that 1 piece of dirty somehow is better then another piece of dirty... and just outright distancing the US from the world ... by starting some weird ass global trade war thinking that in a world where corporations span borders isolationism works. Regardless of what you think of Obama he played it well both national and internationally.

@@Redisia I wasn't defending Trump or minimizing Obama. I very much respect President Obama. Can't say the same about Trump.
