President Barack Obama spoke to Parliament following the North American Leaders' Summit. Obama spoke on wide range of topics including the close relationship with Canada, gay rights, equality for women, terrorism, and the economy.
I'll never forgive what he set into motion on July 3, 2013. But my word can he command a room! I thought Bill Clinton was charismatic, but compared to Barack he has the charisma of a box of raisins.
It's 2024 hit a like if you're still watching and listening to Obama's speeches just to get the knowledge, courage and motivation in order to become a great leader or somebody in the future.
It is called fawning and wanted to get along with their group. Dunning Kruger comes to mind. Obama and Liberal elites in power love them and people like you. Out of control gov would not be possible without you. Only a matter of time before the entire country is like above Baltimore, thanks to people like you. Well Done
@John Cass All your comments on the different posts is to speak vile of those from the gay community. You're too obsessed with gays, make me wonder if you're gay and struggling with your true self. If so, seek help so you can learn to love on yourself and not hate on others.
As the last semester of my master's degree draws to a close, I enrolled in a leadership course. During one of the lessons, the instructor mentioned that Obama was a charismatic leader. I watched many of his speeches, but in this particular one, I discovered what made him not only a great US president but also an exceptional leader. I see parallels between his journey and struggles and my own. I aspire to follow in his footsteps and dream of speaking on a stage like his one day. I am aware that this path will be challenging, especially for me as an Afghan, but I believe it is not impossible. It was a truly inspiring speech!
@@tonyaedwards286 George W Bush and Donald J Trump were both born with silver spoons in their mouths, but it is Barack Obama with the educated silver tongue.
@@henryrudolph1952 . haha. so am I, all I can say is Wow Wow Wow. I have always loved to hear him speak. Such a tragedy he is not leading the US through this crisis. They must miss his intelligence, his understanding, his unity, his empathy, his vision, everything. They are in chaos and they will be brought to their knees with their present leader. who just doesnt get it. I heard him say during a recent covid interview. " I Have The Power'' to do what needs to be done to fix this thing..and I thought ''God Save America''.
@@allisonvonende1789 - very true, Allison! He took whatever the Clintons left behind (which wasn't much). The only things he and Michelle left behind were ants and roaches (both kinds, b.t.w.)
George Murphy can I ask, what point are you trying to make by making unkind comments? It seems like you are a troll to me if you are watching videos and scrolling through comments of a President you didn’t like. Go do something productive with your time lol.
This is how a LEADER of the free world conducts himself and represents America. Not yelling at and degrading people because he can't answer their questions
Not only do I miss hearing a structured sentence from a US president, but the energy of a crowd, clapping in agreement and appreciation. Stay safe, be well
@Crazy Canuck I apologize for getting this mixed up... Sometimes I get ahead of myself when going through comments... I'm very sorry.....I feel terrible for the comment I made and how I misconstrued what you said...
At least he should has had a Mexican flag or Kenya's Flag unfolded to his podium, if he loved foreign Countries more than his Country, USA. Maybe he forget the flag of USA to be displayed in Canada, because he was busy of leading ISIS at the same time. Or maybe he was stunned by the beauty of the Canadian First Lady. we never know. but; please do not tell Michelle about that breath taking he suffered from.
@John Cass just so I understand your comments properly, Are you using the word 'gay' as a negative manner, or do you mean 'gay' as in cheerful? You seem like a smart guy, I assume you mean the leader, am I correct?
This man is in a class of his own, and he will always be. He doesn't just make one proud to be an american, he makes one proud to be just a human being.
America you were so lucky to have this man. Rational, liberal in his beliefs but bases his decisions on evidence and the scientific approach. Exactly what a good leader should be. The UK could use him lol
Hearing him speak with conviction, no rancour or incisively encouraging mistrust or hatred is so very soothing after the last few years of anger & destruction of human compassion helps me believe there is still a future for our grandchildren.
I love when he keeps talking with more powerful voice after people start clapping. These are the best part of his speech. Goosebump moments. Damn! He's a great speaker!
Calm, Sincere, Secure, Confident and Wisdom are just the few words I would use to describe this man. 👏👏👏 Listening to him talk is like seeing how magic works.
And now has Satan the devil have replaced him, and the world doesn't know it. Even though he's the liar, and the FATHER of the LIE, that JESUS said he is.
A real president versus a fake one and the devil himself. Hmmm. I'm gonna think about that truth of that statement and have some serious doubts about it. Unless you are just being mean in which case please.. carry on.
Once upon a time America had a President with sweet oratory and zero action..... Now they have a commander in chief that takes care of America first .....
Ekene Onochie Trump only takes care of himself , someone said once we should find joy in everyone and everything, so I gave it a lot of thought and the only thing that brought me joy while thinking of Trump was seeing him walk out of the White House Climbing the stairs of airforce one never to walk the halls of the White House ever again , I wonder how past great president’s would feel having the most corrupt dangerous evil president in American history walking in the sacred halls it makes me sad just thinking about it . The prayer in my heart always is he will resign . For the sake of America and the world I pray it is soon before he causes anymore damage . I can see you are a Trump fan and my words may hurt you but that is not my intention, just open your mind to seeing the truth study Trump’s life not the lies he feeds you . Thousands are dying right now because he is not capable of being a leader . So I am sending you peace now and always . And I pray Trump’s reign of terror will be over soon . Peace .
@Sma 556 Lol! And yet managed to flip the numbers from Cheney & his Charlie McCarthy puppet Dubya around by the time he left office. Context is still everything- numbers from Jan 2009 & Jan. 2017 show more than a 'moving of the needle' in leading a recovery from the worst financial crisis the country had seen since the Great Depression. And the fact that he did it with the worst non-working Congress in history speaks volumes except to those who are clearly tone deaf.
As I'm a Bangladeshi citizen, I've never seen any president like him even the govt of my country isn't as him. I didn't mean the gender discrimination, actually what i actually meant is that the proper utilization of power. From my perspective, he is the Best and best leader and the way he rolled the nation is really fascinating. Salute you sir and love your leadership from my core of the heart.
You cannot understand how much the American middle class has declined since the 2008 crash. Their standard of living is certainly still above Bangladesh's, but where Bangladesh has been rising, the American middle class has been hollowed out completely. In their eyes, he promised much and delivered little. He was, admittedly, always blocked by the opposition to fulfilling even basic reforms. Obama appealed to masses of working people, as did Trump, and Hillary Clinton did not. The story of the 2016 election was not the story of how Trump won, but how Hillary lost. Even though she actually got more votes than Trump, because of the antiquated way their voting districts are divided, Trump won the election.
Dont fool yourself to believe the leftist narrative... His main thing was to make things even and fair for people of colour, yet there were more terrible things happen to people of colour during his reign than the current administration. A Bengal tiger is an amazing beautiful gentle looking creature, you want to pet them, touch them, cuddle them, would you want a hungry one with a thirst for power living with you, running your life and not having any rules for how the tiger behaves?
He is a man who speaks with heart and he is not driven by puppets. He talks about the most precious asset of this world, and that is people. We might miss your guidance as a great leader in the near future, know that there are people like me who will continue to follow your ideals and courage.
This man, this president, Barack Obama, in my opinion, is the finest American president in my lifetime, in other words, the last 60 years. His ability to move people is stunning. In his eight years in office, he was a beacon of dignity for the world to see. It is tragic to see the state of America under Donald Trump. I believe, though, that Canada’s best friend, America, is resilient and stronger than one bad president. God bless America! They need it now more than ever.
This, your president, is the of the worst wartime men ever who's been president. "A beacon of diginty for the world to see"- only an american states something foolish like that. US have NOT have any great men in the helm for decades. You have gotten fooled by speeches and carisma but greatness? Was he great when invading Libya? Was he great in Iraq? In Afghanistan? How many people have been killed under his so-called greatness? Try asking all the women, children and grandparents who were left without a loved one - or try asking the people of the same countries who he left in ruins. You Americans are so easy to satisfy (I'm assuming your are an American else your rant gives even less meaning) No sir, please do not let your foolish misinterpretation of him get confused with what he essentially was. A disaster and essentially the 2nd longest sitting wartime president ever (only superseded by G.W.B) Only great him about him was his ability to fool his own people in thinking he was great.
@@Ehsanmand So you assume that every single president has to solve every single problem during his/her presidency? What a stupid take. Barack Obama may have not done everything you were willing for him to do, but at least he's better than that Trump guy where all he does is sway his hips side to side and is not very convincing because most of the time he claims he's going to do something but ends up not doing. Where is the new healthcare plan that he decided on to replace Obamacare? Why did he pull from the Paris Accord (for no reason as far as I'm concerned)? Why is he trying to repeal healthcare from other people when he's not even going to establish one in time, ESPECIALLY DURING THESE TOUGH TIMES??? Trump makes no sense, his logic cannot be supported by much. He talks the talk, but never walks the walk. Only Trump's biggest supporters and Republican nerds by his side can even dream of refuting arguments and fully explaining things and ACTUALLY DOING THEM like Obama did.
Am from Indonesia, kinda stressed out in city quarantine and just felt relieved, inspired and hope for better future after hearing this. President Obama is truly one of a kind, so much respect for him.
This man has some sort of chemistry that really resonates with current affairs and the people he speaks to... these are the kind of leaders the world needs
Najee Muhammad, Lateef Rasheed, Mohammad told his tribes in Mecca: "I get messages from Allah sent directly to my mountain cave." I told to few of my friends I get messages from Mullah --- and they called me Mad. In ancient times it was so easy to fool people.
Remember when the President of The US was actually welcome in other countries?? When there were not protests against our american president on the streets of the countries of our allies and friends? Like England Canada France and Germany? trump has destroyed our world wide reputation in less than 4 years .. 😢
Pale Zombie that was when the US was respected by the entire globe. Nowadays we all check the Trump's speeches for pure humor and entertainment. Very sad😡
I'm Dutch and I miss Obama. The entirely family, their warmth, connection, positive energy, respect for others, authenticity, humour... just great examples.
Karl Landgren Karl, you again.. told you to go to your room and stop spreading your hatred of Obama. He was beloved in the world. Trump is a sick joke. Get over it.
Irrespective of Trump's skill or lack in public speaking the more fundamental reason why you won't see Trump doing this was the very open America First direction that he announced at his inauguration. His speaking ability is not the issue in this case.
John Cass Exactly what I suspected out of a Trump supporter. You’re not going to trigger anyone with such gibberish. Go back to your basement until you have something intelligent to say....the adults are talking.
@@susanhilton3436 Absolutley right, Susan, the number of people in the UK who think Trump is a good President... well, I doubt you would make it into triple figures...
@@susanhilton3436 don't forget to put a wing on him. I am pretty sure you have a stable economy and wise ties with EU. And he would definitely help you even more because he is a master to create a disaster.
I miss this man. I had to listen to remember what a true leader sounds like. Thank you for your poise, leadership, honesty, respect for the office and the people former President Barack Obama!👊🏽
after Kennedy, one of the most popular presidents of the USA worldwide... I also liked him a lot and would like to see him as such again... a dream, unfortunately....
This man is an ever increasing hero of mine. He is the definition of a gentleman, intelligent, caring, and the greatest public speaker I've ever seen/heard. The world misses Barrack Obama
Does that mean President Bleach is out of the equation... ha ha ha... I am so proud to be an American when people from another country respect ours like the Canadians did during this event. Thank you. I agree with your definition of eloquence.
I know, check him out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tpH5L8zCtSk.html after you watch it think about the time Obama gave Syria a red line, and they crossed it.
Loved Worldwide, in Germany 300,000 people showed to to hear him speak......reminds me of when we had common sense in the White House, God Bless you n your family
If everyone could remember his words in this speech every day, this world couldn't help but become a better place. The easiest way to insult the ones who believe in this man and his work and words would be to continue to compare him Donald Trump ! Truly insulting!!?
"How fortunate, how privileged we are to have the opportunity to now, ourselves, build this world anew. What a blessing. And as we go forward together, on that freedom road, let's stay true to the values that make us who we are - Canadians and Americans, allies and friends, now and forever. " I hope we always remember this man for the great leader he was, and still is today.
Mr. Obama talked like he was our prime minister.......love it! Hope teachers and parents would encourage our next generation to listen to Mr. Obama's speeches often.
He has to be the most articulate speaker in American history. A president who can stand before a foreign government, with no notes, and deliver such a unifying message. A man who instills faith in humanity every time he touches a microphone. I mean, he had the Canadian parliament chanting, “4 more years!” when he concluded. I am deeply ashamed of the last four years, but the days of decency, nobility, and inclusion are returning to office. And for that, not only will America be better, but the whole world.
Encourage them to listen to partisan political figures? That's unethical for schools to be doing. Politics doesn't need to further infest the education system. They can privately support whomever they choose, but putting it on student's is the wrong message and an abuse of their position.
@Hal Davis Yes, there are history curriculums, however they do not necessarily promote certain political candidates and their ideologies. Merely their historical value. I for one did not learn about people's political affiliations and their associated ideological or theological beliefs in school.
OBAMA..THE BIGGEST TRAITOR WE HAVE EVER HAD IN OUR COUNTRY...Oh but he was always with that smile so nice and THEN HE WOULD STABB US IN OUR BACKS... THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER.. HIM AND HIS WIFE THE BIGGEST RACISTS !!!
Thank you Mr.President, thank you for your Wisdom,Knowledge,your Understandings, your Love for ALL Humanity, We thank you and thank GOD A GIFT to the world. We Will ForEver be grateful. Use Your Voice To Help Build A Better World For ALL
By comparison , when i was in Grade School they stopped all classes for Canada Vs the USSR Hockey games on TV, they set up a television in the lunch room and we all sat on the floor cheering for our Canadian team and players THE 1972 SERIES was 1st time our 2 countries met in a hockey game
@@francisgodinho9077 Well, justin trudeau's election didnt represent the same thing. The first black president in the US versus another progressive prime minister in an already progressive country.
We didn't in Windsor, Ontario. Obama talked a tough peace game, but brought hell to the middle east. I remember him campaigning on bringing the troops, back and then shifting them from Iraq to Afghanistan for his full 8 years, and invading several other countries as well. Arming rebel factions in numerous areas. I guess in fairness to him he just did what the CIA/INT told him too.
When you get a 1-2 minute standing ovation from another country!! It speaks volumes about his character and what type of man he is. Trump will never get respect like this.
Also, when the American president spoke of peace, unity, and working together to better the lives of citizens. Obama is also a knowledgeable man familiar with the geographical world, history, science and the actual hard work it takes to accomplish the goal of improving lives . I miss him.
Obama is an icon, his public speaking skills, charm will always be a model and legendary. One cannot help but admire the man, I strive to reach that level of professionalism.
So much has changed since this speech, so much. To our American brothers and sisters we are always going to be there with you. We as people of Canada will never waiver in our commitment.
We love you all too and won't change. Hopefully the ignorant in America will realize what is occupying our White House right now is NOT what we American's believe or wish to convey to the world. President Obama as well as many other presidents in our past (Democratic and Republican)are the real deal, the ignorant, racist, child running our country today is nothing but a huge mistake and I pray multiple times daily we will ALL realize this and vote him out.
@@mikezak8812 I grew up with the USA as my brothers and sisters, we share the same ideals and beliefs. Brothers and sisters dont always get along but we always love each other. Let's remember that. :)
Pres. Barack's sales skills were off the mark. He is an exceptional man. This is the kind of man who can convince you to buy at his pricing, your own possession and that is legendary. A living proof of climactic utilization of the power of Attorney. All hail Auto-Cue.
President Obama told us that we were going to be already. I’m in prayer and trusting god. We will get through this if we all do our part. I miss him so much!
His speech-reading skills are second to none.... I've never seen or heard anybody reading their speech with such composure and authenticity that you thought they weren't reading it at all....👏👏
