Barack Obama - Navigating America's Racial Divide: The Daily Show

[@jamesdurham3496]

Obamas unique gaps in his speech are just him pausing and thinking about what he's going to say before he says it, a quality too many people lack nowadays

[@asabifatosin1150]

James Durham What else makes it noticeable is that he doesn’t fill up the pauses with “uhs” and “likes” and “ums”...

[@tkisilu]

Automatic replies by THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is not a sign of confidence, but a sign of fear. Obama had a lot of pressure, and a lot that he wanted to implement and change...his pauses are admirable, as opposed to the instant replies that President Trump gives out without any second though as to the consequences that will occur as a result. THINK, then speak. The world will be better for it.

Not to sound mean, but when you hear Obama talk compared to Trump, I feel like there's a huge gap between their intellect. I just can't picture Trump talking this eloquent.

Obama is speaking, eloquently as always, about his experience addressing race whilst being in one of the most powerful and watched positions in the world. For you to really point fingers at Obama for lying and faking empathy is beyond me. Also, if you listen carefully, this video is about his own personal experience and his opinion, so there is no reason to lie or fake emotion. He has been a strong and reasonable leader for eight years and you should stop commenting unnecessarily rude things. He has about a month left in office, has been and continues to be a well spoken politician, and did a great job as president, so please move on.

It's for the money, power and admiration, can you even fathom how big of a disaster this can turn out to be, I can't. This is bad for the whole world. I'm sad that the democrats during these 8 years didn't tell the people what Obama actually has accomplished. They let the republicans bad mouthing him so people began to hate him for no reason. No president will be perfect, and wall street money makes it hard to make real changes for the people, because they have obligations to corporations.

yes obama was super eloquent. decent? he seemed like it but some of his policies are FAR from decent, straight up wrong. he is a good actor, good presentor thats for sure. but actions matter more then words

[@DrunkenLegend1100]

There will always be people disagreeing with policies. But he got the country through an intense financial crisis, he allowed for diplomacy with former enemies, he hunted down bin laden, he made healthcare available for countless of people. Maybe you haven't felt much of this, but ask a poorer person, that couldn't even pay their treatments a few years ago, you'll hear a lot of positive things. Or allied countries, like Europe, pretty much any politican here actually respects Obama greatly (contrary to both the guys that came before and after)

[@Calyx]

To be fair, most Obama-haters are Bush-lovers. Obama had a huge mess on his hands the day he took office, that wasn't his fault. I dont agree with his greenlighting of NSA mass surveillance, or the amount of drone strikes under his name, but times change. Obamacare is a good plan, it just needs time and more people signing up for it to succeed. The US really needs a good healthcare system. Getting rid of it at the halfway point is just a shame. In the future Obama might hopefully be credited with a good healthcare system. All in all, he wasn't the best president, but you have to look at the amount of shit he had to deal with under his presidency. Bush could bomb entire nations if he wanted to and still hold the respect of many Americans. I think Obama being black *MIGHT* have had something to do with it, as racism still exists no matter how low key people try to act on it.

[@arenc5619]

[@dylantodd9574]

I'm a republican and was an unapologetic Bush supporter (saying that just for context), and I am constantly reminded of how Pres. Obama carried himself and attempted to engage the other side of the aisle with sincerity and integrity. I'm quite certain a majority of my party did not realize how fortunate we were to have him in office for 8 years. Despite our disagreements over how to run a country, we could've take better advantage of his time in office to really get somewhere together as a country.

Regardless of how we all feel about Barack Obama and what he did/didn't accomplish while as President, can we at least all agree that OVERALL (cause every President does have some failures) the United States of America is in a better place because of his presidency? I am a democrat but I will put political bias aside for this critique (for the most part). Yes, ObamaCare did have its problems, the national debt nearly doubled, Guantanamo Bay has still not been closed, ISIS became a military problem, North Korea is a bigger threat than ever, and shootings are seen as a bigger/more common problem in our society today. Also, he pledged to bring the political parties in Congress together and be a unifier President, but (whether it was his policies or the decisions by the Congress) that didn't happen. There were plenty of failures during the last 8 years, even his biggest supporters won't deny that. With that said, he does have many accomplishments, even with these failures; millions of people now have healthcare, Osama Bin Laden and many terrorist leaders are dead, the wars started by George W. Bush ended, Guantanamo Bay's prison population has been reduced to only a handful, and race-issues can't just be ignored like they used to be in our society. The unemployment rate is lower than it was during George W. Bush's 2nd term, the auto, banking, and housing industries have recovered from the greatest crisis since the 1930s, we have begun re-establishing relations with Cuba and Iran for the 1st time in decades, and the U. S. brought the whole world together on global climate change agreements. Furthermore, every LGBT citizen can legally marry, more states have legalized medicinal marijuana, women's pay wage gaps have decreased, he put 2 women on the Supreme Court, and millions of Hispanic and Islamic immigrants have become citizens. These were a lot of difficult issues to deal with in just 8 years, and even when the majority of politicians and citizens disagreed with this man he never gave up trying to make our country better despite many setbacks. Overall, was Barack Obama a perfect President? No, I will admit that he did have some failures, though he shouldn't be blamed for every bad thing that happened during his Presidency. Is the country as a whole better off now than it was in January of 2009? Yes, but we still have more we need to come together on (Democrats, Republicans, and Independents) to keep making progress to improve the lives of every American. Finally, in terms of being the 1st African-American President, he did the best he could despite the prejudice and racism he faced. Plus, regardless whether you personally liked this man or not, he leaves office with a decent approval rating with more people liking him than those that don't. While we don't know how many of his accomplishments or failures will be remembered in the near future, as a whole Barack Obama will be seen as the 1st African-American President that made this country better than it was when he started despite opposition and uncertainty; that (in my opinion) will be his legacy!
