President Obama hosts star-studded Medal of Freedom ceremony 

For those making negative comments about these medals, at the very least, you owe your ability to watch this video and post your comments from your computer (PC, Mac or smartphones) to Bill Gates.

President Trump style will be more like "he is good , very good " " we love her , she is nice , very nice "

Much respect to all!

i dont think TRUMP can remember all these FACTS about each person LIKE great PRESIDENT OBAMA. Trump will read of scripts and keep the praise two sentences each person.

Wonderful to watch such an eclectic group of amazing people being honored. Thanks for uploading this.

THANK you Pres Obama, amazing presentation and THANK you to all honourees who deserve this special recognition for their contribution... Ellen was emotional.. ☺♥

True creators of their reality! Respect!

Amazing moment. Obama- thank you.

Viewed this video by chance. It turned out to be amazing experience. I am a Citizen from India and visited USA few times in past 15 years. During my visits , I viewed many many speeches right from Clinton to Trump. With no political affiliations, I can state that Obama's speech indicates his knowledge across different field subjects, preparation , Information, humor and empathy. In future, in such occasions, USA citizens will hear speech being read OR very few words like 'very nice', ' very good', ' great....' Anyway, all your presidents are far better than Politicians in India. Thanks.

Amazing people. Few people know about Margaret Hamilton and Grace Hopper.

It's crazy to get chills watching these things, but i did get chills when Michael Jordan went up there.

I started balling when Ellen got her award I love her so much

Vince Scully's standing O teared me up

Shoutout to the lady accepting for Grace Hopper. She got a seat between Michael Jordan and Tom Hanks.

Ellen got the best hug! She rocks!

Congrats to all the honorees, enjoy your moment!

Thanks for teaching us lewd conduct, not curing diseases just patching them up, and making computers with more surveillance every time.

Last time black guys and a lesbian get a medal in the White House. Well, at least for the next 4 years.

I really miss Obama. Great class

I love Ellen

love you MIKE!!!

They are all great humans who deserve much respect but my favorite is M.J!!

I miss President Obama

The greatest POTUS of all time.

I can't wait to see Trump's Medal of Freedom ceremony. I picture Trump selecting Ted Nugent, Don King, Azealia Banks, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones haha. It would be like a gathering in hell.

THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF HUMILITY AND REAL GREATNESS, THERE ONLY ARE GREAT PEOPLE AND LOOK WITH WHAT HUMILITY THEY ACT

Why is it sooo claustrophobic?! My living room looks bigger than that! lol

The Gates are awesome

those who were acknowledged i selute you all for all youre achievements to the peaple of both our nateions and beyond...

so inspiring , may they all live long and help this world to get more peacful and tolerante

respect award is a full love for people you work therefore long live Obama long live America

The next medal of freedom ceremony will be Huuuuuge, and it will be the best ceremony.....and we'll all pay for it.

I loved it!!

President Trump style will be more like "he is good , very good " " we love her , she is nice , very nice

ah, this level of charisma will be missed

I've trying to think of the one word I could use to describe the difference to myself of the difference between President Obama and Trump. While watching the Medal of Freedom ceremony it came to me. "Style"

Congratulations to all of them. On a side note, the next honourees will be all of Trump's surrogates.

Loved it!

I'm hoping to miss Obama as comic in chief. he's a funny guy, good delivery

This is what the signature skill of President Obama.

AMAZING 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🇺🇸

Back when the US had class

HILLARY CLINTONS THE MICHAEL JORDAN OF LYING LOL

48:00 MJ 🏀🐐

The Hallmark of a great rock n roll band is that the narrative you can tell together is bigger than anyone could have told on their own.

I mean, take the politics completely out of it; these people are some of the very best are what they do. Hate celebrities? Look at the broader list.

so glad Jordan got it

We seem to have lost are way as a people....riddle with hate and anger.....

Trump would say, I’m rescinding those medals!

All great people deserve that thanks Obama people I have like to🇬🇧🙏🏾

thanks Mr President Obama

god bless the america

The 2nd most respected man in the room, after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Oh oh he's lil serious with this guy

All the money in the world and the White House can't afford a better sound system to be able to TRULY honor these remarkable, proud, brave individuals. Perhaps Trump has a few sound systems left over from his "University" he could bring over.

should be titled 'medals awarded to illuminati sell-outs'

i am shook

Why didnt I get one.

Maybe the last time you'll see a diverse crowd at the white house, unless they're federal.

Where are the tom hanks part?

For a long time I wondered why they didn't give this award to The Brits. I didn't realize it as only for The Americans. However, they get their own awards when they are decorated by The Royal Family as a Sir, A Dame, or an Officer or Member of The British Empire.

How wonderful and appropriate that Obama gave these characters the Medal of Freakdom.

53:40 those glasses look like strawberry condoms !!!

Look at Gates !!!

Where is Shephard Fairey?

Bill Cosby deserved this more than anyone

where is david letterman

Those shamers will have their day

Where is Bob dylan?

Why does Diana Ross get a medal? Haven't seen her in years.

Has Mike Tyson ever received this award.

Where's a military person? Did I miss it?

Give this medal to people who put their lives in danger protecting and serving the country... not to pampered millionaires whose greatest suffering is the prick of the botox needle.

everyone if someone offered y'all 10 or 50 million dollars would y'all accepted it.

Well, let's cross that bridge when we get there, given that on december 19th. the electorate college is going to vote, and well, one of the candidates got 2 million more of the popular vote and they are still counting..., also even if that bridge would be crossed, we still have to get to inauguration day.... and given that one of the nominee refuses to move in to the white house and wants to keep up at least two location as "white house" one in the middle of a busy city, and also refuses to put all his assets in a blind trust, I say what prof. Lichtman say - "What you see is what you get, he is playing fast and loose with the law, playing fast and loose with the truth".... this in itself begs for impeachment in advance...

Jordan don't deserve this!

I can't imagine Trump doing this. He's too narcissistic to recognise other people's achievements.

I see OBAMA likes to give away medals like it was candy years ago you had to earn it .

My name is Forrest - Forrest Gump 15:20 46:25

nike and strategy belongs to you , i think fortune like me, said me one OK!

Jesse jackson messed up, he could be there

I still have yet to understand Why Diana Ross??"

Chosen according to Podesta's food group

Someone has to photoshop the cry face on

they clapped longer for me to clap fortnite noobs

they clap too much

Yeah that's was great.! but Donald Trump will ask them that return the medals when he takes the presidency :/

So many butthurt people in the comments, smh!

Mr. Obama took a prestigious award and cheapened it with most of this group. I just hope we still can show honor in the future when people who really have done something great get this award

there was only 2 people that should have gotten this award and they are both dead the rest GIVE ME A BREAK WHAT A JOKE

💩💩

if he was a good president he should give a medal to donald also !

Tom hanks,gives zero fucks ... Ellen is crying lol....

Disgusting
