Not only were you lucky to meet him, he was lucky to meet you.

[@mariangel2217]

indeed

[@elovejoy925]

+Jenn Yes... out of all the world leaders, faith leaders, freedom fighters he's met, he's lucky to have met a half-assed youtuber...

[@marisabel1627]

+Jenn cuteee

[@serenavessella154]

+Jenn The president doesn't care at all nor should he. He has met much more important people that actually do shit.

[@jenniferksummer]

+serena vessella he met with her. Why are you here if not to be supportive?

[@NoasTriip]

You are so so lucky! And I'm extremely happy for you!!

[@NoasTriip]

LOVE FROM PORTUGAL

[@spongebobu1296]

+Noa thank yoy

[@kappyfulliness]

+Noa So Luckyyyyyyy!!!! Obama's the best - a very jealous Canadian (although we have Trudeau so...not that bad)

[@ceciliabarcelos3032]

maybe you'll interview Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa one Day :p loool

[@NoasTriip]

Cecília Barcelos That's more of a job for Judite de Sousa ahaha

[@ElinevanderLaan]

I'm not even from the USA but I'm telling you, Obama's the best you'll ever have as a president! What a presence and wise man.

[@quintessaence]

Mee eens!

[@soccerskiingfan]

Wait what......? Ummmmmm

[@shannontotten1330]

you're saying this because you don't live in the us

[@GoodandDelicious]

If only most Americans understood that.

[@alextammayo3953]

Not really...

[@LillieFiori]

Just listening to you talk about how kind and lovely he is brings tears to MY eyes! So beautiful.

[@Fancy07911]

Honestly, I'm most jealous of the fact that she got to meet the dogs

[@cozymonica]

You were AMAZING. The questions you asked were fantastic. The Sense of Self one was fascinating, and his response was so endearing. And the fact that you've raised so much awareness for the period tax is so important. You're causing real positive change in the world. I'm just so incredibly proud of you, the work you're doing, and how far you've gone over the past few years. 💖

[@LaceyKeithbeauty]

This video almost made me cry! Watching you for YEARS, I have seen you grow so much and it's incredibly inspiring! What an amazing opportunity and you did a FANTASTIC job. Plus, that interview outfit girl... So stinking cute! XOX

[@Ootebuzz]

i'm really started to like Ingrid especially because she has realized that youtube has granted her a voice and she's using hers to try to make things better for others. Ingrid the change you are making is something you should he very Proud of! And hope it will help other youtubers realize that they have the possibility that besides making their normal contend they can make a video once in a while to adress certain issues that we can hopefully change in the future, because when people stay silent nothing will change

[@AmethystMtzE]

Oh my god Ingrid you did absolutely amazing! I was nervous for you so it's totally understandable how you got a little flustered especially talking about your own journey about coming out which is HUGE!. He just seemed so genuine, friendly, honest and real to say the least. He's always been just so eloquent and easy to listen to and your questions were great!!! Super proud of you!

[@nikolk626]

I just got to watch your interview and I loved that you were so well prepared during your interview. You had an understanding of the questions you had, there was an understanding of the current policy and you knew what his general thoughts were going in. I have a habit of watching interviews of all sorts and you really did an amazing job! You're awesome Ingrid!

[@kristamoots1874]

It's amazing that you could interview the President

[@kristamoots1874]

Love you!

[@beccadallas]

Just watched your interview. You were filled with poise, grace and willingness to ask the question that mean a lot to you! Great job!

[@kittifire]

i dont even know why i was also close to tears watching the whole thing - maybe empathy for the interviewers, but also it's just cool to listen to him speak. Must have been intense!

[@Sara10393]

Omg your excitement is the cutest and most genuine thing ever haha so proud of you!! You did such a good job!!

[@RavensSarora]

Congratulations on your accomplishments Ingrid, you deserve it all for your warm heart

[@mylifeontheElist]

The sense of self part was so cool! It's one of those things that you would never know about the president to look at him or that he would talk about in any other situation, but it was so cool to see that he carries around things like that on a regular basis and the fact that he was so thoughtful and remembered the stories behind them was SO cool! Loved watching your interview!

[@tltravel]

20 seconds in and I'm already smiling. I watched your interview first before this video & seeing your reaction afterwards just made it all that much better! Congrats on an amazing experience!

[@sophiapardon7555]

You did a great job, Ingrid! I really loved your choice of questions and the president answered in such a kind and personal but really informative way! Especially the part in which he described those little gifts that he received over the years really touched my heart and I could feel how it touched yours. Lots of love!

[@abundanceoferica]

Ingrid I totally agree with you about being a political person! As a Canadian, I finally feel inspired about the political climate of my country because the Prime Minister's beliefs reflect my values so closely. It's only now, with this change in office, that I'm starting to realize how much politics are important to me. :)

[@Bookworm5589]

I'm so happy with this prime minister. Those horrible commercials about his hair didn't deter voters.

[@Thekyayu]

+Sara W Trudeau is so much better for us than those Cons

[@Chouetterargentee]

I'm inspired by your political climate too. :P Meanwhile in America, there's Trump.

[@abundanceoferica]

Sara W hahaha those commercials were so petty

[@abundanceoferica]

Fourteen Lines Lol I can't wait for the day I don't have to see that man's face all over my news/social media..

[@mildredcastillo4173]

I loved your portion of the interview! It was super inspiring. You are a great role model. Thank you for sharing

[@baileyym5251]

The thing is, I think Obama is an extremely thoughtful, well-spoken, caring person, but i can never agree with his policy and views

[@angelacanedit]

That's fair

[@mrsloveandbeauty]

That's very mature of you to realize this! :)

[@Mari-Yama]

+Baileyy M exactly. Its very important to understand what is most important to you and select a president that has the views you're looking for. I had been a republican all of my life. I then took a close look as to why I was. I realized it was just how I was raised and everyone around me are republicans. That's just how it is in my state. The thing is, what's important to them isn't as important to me. I care more about the long term future of our world, science, cosmology, expanding our knowledge scientifically, environmentally, working together, and moving forward as the human race. Big companies, immigration issues, stock market, oil, religion, guns, are all important issues, but it's not as important to me, but to the people in my state, it's the most important thing to them. This is how we should decide and vote, not just because you label yourself one thing or another. I am glad you are not putting him down because of his political party, but you understand that he is not a president you would want in office because of the types of views you have are not supported by the views he has. Good for you :)

[@Taya0692]

Obama is a great influence for America . What isn't good for America, and shines a bad light on the president, is the chairmen behind the scenes won are paid out to make the decisions. The president has hardly any leeway when it comes to decision and Americans need to realize that during this upcoming election because one wrong turn can cause America to crumble. Sadly the president needs to abide by what his White House "support" system tells him to do or else it could cause him his life. And that's been proven by true American leaders before

[@livelovelaugh994]

+Mariko Well said, Mariko! n_n

[@delphine_red]

Hi Ingrid, I have been watching your videos for years (time flies) and I greatly admire all the journey and evolution you have been through. Interviewing Obama must have been an amazing experience and you were amazingly professional and still being the Ingrid we watch on your channel. I am sure the future holds many more beautiful and great things for you. x

[@shawnabrock4743]

What an amazing opportunity! Your parents must be beyond proud of you! You are such an inspiration to young women and men. Thank you for being the wonderful person you are and for sharing your life with the viewers on KZbin. Much Love to you.

[@mariangel2217]

I just watched the Interview, wow Ingrid you did an amazing job! Im so happy to see you there. God bless your beautiful soul.

[@jamiesuejames]

Congrats!! so exciting to see how far you've come since I first starting watching about 5 years ago!! Love and support always

[@kristinebernhart9495]

I just watched the interview. AND you were SO good Ingrid! So calm and comfortable, and your questions were good. So happy for you that it went well :)

[@AasthaChaturvedi1992]

Oh my God! I too had tears in my eyes the moment you started describing how the president entered and said hi to everybody. So happy that you has this beautiful experience.

[@cinderetsmoke]

I don't know why but this video made me emotional. (i'm not even American) It was so cool that you got to do this! I've been watching you since the beginning and this made me really proud of you!

[@lizzylo7136]

That is soooo awesome! I almost also got teary eyed as you were interviewing cause I can only imagine the excitement and how thrilling the moment was for you. It is like a once in a lifetime opportunity and it is so cool you got to share that experience with all of us. Kuddos to you kid!

[@SammyBearX3]

Ingrid! I just finished watching your interview. Being an aspiring journalist and a fan of yours for many years I can't even begin to explain how proud I am of you! You've come such a long way and continue to inspire me and so many others! Your kind and genuine persona played a big role in how successful your interview played out. Keep working towards bigger things! We love you 😊

[@dannaluciochavez120]

Im not an American and I know that maybe we aré never going To Met in peson Ingrid but im really proud of you! I'm really moved and happy for you and your success. Todo lo que llega en la vida es lo que cada uno merece. Congratulaciones Ingrid!

[@leslieanngallagher3894]

I'm not your normal demographic, but I've been following you for years. This brought a tear of pride to my eye. I'm SO proud of you and what you have done using the platform you have created. Don't stop. You are a joy and I wish you all the success and change you can make! Big hugs from just a normal mom.

[@kaylakaatt]

I'm so glad Ingrid got to talk to the president because she has some really good things to say and hopefully they take what she said into consideration :)

[@jaqueoficial]

What an unforgettable and gratifying experience!! I am very happy for you

[@PrincessMelly12]

Congrats !!! You're such an inspiration for us all !!!!! We love you !!! Thank you for being YOU

[@EiLpigreco]

YOU'RE GREAT INGRID. It was so cool seeing you ask him about tampons being taxed and telling him about your coming out video. I'm so proud of you because you are yourself in everything you do and you're not afraid to talk about anything that matters to you. You're really an inspiration and I'm not just saying it, I mean it. I don't usually see KZbinrs as inspirations but you are definitely an exception. I love you so much girl.

[@MadalynV]

Ingrid you have such a beautiful personality, you're truly inspiring.

[@CarterSams]

Congrats, love. Enjoyed your interview x a million.

[@emma2711]

Watching this video just made me excited and happy for you and proud of you all over again! OmFg! Congratulations!!

[@jenniferkavu87]

I'm so glad you did this video because I recently watched your interview with the President and thought you did an amazing job! If you were nervous, it wasn't obvious; I thought you came across extremely calm. You had great questions that were followed by thoughtful answers. Kudos, too, for bringing awareness about the taxes on "luxury products." It was a memorable moment of enlightenment. I also loved the "Senses" portion. Well done, Ingrid!

[@hannah-ze2pj]

I watched you interview him live, you did so great!

[@kendallgrenolds6209]

You killed it girl!!!! Forever my fav youtuber💖

[@ileenraquel7295]

Your interview was amazing! I love that you touched on topics that were heavily spoken about in the past year.

[@RachelHouseholder87]

sooo proud of you Ingrid! been watching you since almost the beginning and watching you grow has been so inspiring!

[@Coconoix34]

I really really loved the part where you asked him to bring something of his to show. The fact that he carries little momentos of the people he meets makes me feel that he really is a humble and down to earth person. Canada loves Obama!

[@crissanchez98]

You did awesome ingrid! So proud pf how far you've come you go girl!!!

[@samanthaistan]

The interview was so good, Ingrid. I was watching it with my dad, and he was incredibly impressed by your composure and your questions. Also, your outfit was AMAZING. Overall, YOU DA BEST, INGRID.

[@HollisFuneralHome]

Ingrid!!! You are the cutest ever and I'm so happy I found your vlog. So happy you got to interview the president and discover his sense of self!

[@norbom24]

So envious!!! My favorite President for so long has been Carter. Now I have a tie Carter and Obama. He just seems to be such a considerate and gracious man. Yay for you!!

[@KayteGreenfelder]

I cried happy proud tears when during your interview. I couldn't be more proud of you and all you have accomplished.

[@Evanandrachel]

You kick so much ass Ingrid. I love what you said about being 'political', and I think you're absolutely spot on!

[@TheFeliciwhale]

Ingrid, I think you were such a good choice for this! You clearly appreciated the opportunity and put so much thought into your questions for the president. Congratulations! What an achievement!

[@KoShinMusicOfficial]

WOW! Congratulations! You were so elegant and eloquent in your interview. You really brought out a side of him that I have not seen. You are meant to keep sharing your voice with the world. So beautiful.

[@jnaveda4396]

Looking back, don't you just find it absolutely devastating we went from such an amazing leader...to what we are stuck with now? There's not a day I don't think about how awesome it was to have such a great Presidient.

[@ImGirlYouDontKnow]

Yayy! I am so happy for you! ♥

[@AnaLuisaActualFlair]

this is a great reflexion! love your point of view and approach of things, I watched the interview and it was great, you are so well spoken and admire this on you so much! great job ingrid!

[@worriedwell]

Ingrid, I just watched your interview with President Obama, and I just have to say that you did an amazing job. You were so cool and calm and you spoke with him just like he was your friend or something lol. Thanks for being so inspiring :)

[@MollyCurley]

I got out of class just in time to watch it live. Such a cool opportunity, Ingrid, you should be so proud of yourself!

[@brandisleasman5183]

You did an amazing job Ingrid! Srsly, so poised, professional and you looked genuinely interested in everything he was saying. That's no easy feet under so many interview requirements and so much pressure, not to mention um..... That was the PRESIDENT!!! The most powerful man in the world! Great job and thank you for asking such important questions that hit home for pretty much everyone in some way.

[@sugaichigo]

This is so inspiring! So proud and happy for you Ingrid x

[@jounyd.9345]

Thank you Ingrid for this great interview ; your conversation with the president was about humankind's fears & hopes, I was touched by all the subjects you talked about. And the sense of self part made me feel believe again to an ethic, a humanity in politic ... I'm on my way to become a political person now ! xxx from France

[@PaigeMeredith]

So proud of you Ingrid!! No one deserved this opportunity more than you! Love you!!!

[@MJsSoilderOfLove90]

The interview was pretty amazing.. i'm actually in awe and shock how well you carried yourself interviewing the President.. very professionally and just honestly.. I felt nervous for you!! and he seems so humble.. just a great experience and interview :)

[@momager]

To be truthful, I skipped most of the interview and went straight to yours. Even though you stumbled a bit of your words you got right back on track. Like a pro!

[@MsDreamer215]

Ingrid, you did a great job! Your questions were great, and you were very poised. AND your outfit was fab. Congrats!

[@Tinamar65]

I`m so happy for you Ingrid having this great opportunity! You did so well and your mom must be very proud of you!

[@trommelbiel]

You did a very good job. Your mom must be proud of you. Both of you had a good chemistry.

[@christianmerrick6815]

You probably won't ever see this but you interview literally had me in tears. You asked the best questions!

[@oPuenktchen]

I watched it live and I was so proud I started crying when you came on

[@RealUpStaged]

You did such a great job! I loved his Sense of Self and it was just a great interview! Congrats lovely!

[@iCelestrian]

Incredible, the opportunity to do this obviously came to the right person. You really earned it and loved it :)

[@aromancandle]

Aw, Ingrid. This must have been an AMAZING moment for you, I'm glad all of us got to see it. Don't know if I would've been able to hold my emotions in like you did! I would've cried, my mascara would've been everywhere...

[@FRIDAA]

I am so freaking proud of you, i almost cried watching the interview. I have always loved Obama and i'm not even from the US. Sending love from Sweden ❤️🇸🇪

[@kdeleon5772]

Over the moon excited and proud you had the opportunity to meet him and interview him, this will truly be a treasured memory(: I mean he's honestly the coolest pres ever lol

[@megstarbright]

I was so happy for and excited to watch it!

[@aromancandle]

OH- and that outfit you wore, totally fabulous and appropriate for the occasion. And let me just say...those trousers are GORGEOUS!

[@jonlin7704]

You are such a caring, energetic, and happy person! Amazing.

[@PurePowerPanda]

WOW Ingrid!

[@aleksandra1165]

You are an inspiration Ingrid. Lots of love from Poland

[@lovemejazzy]

i watched the interview, so proud of you ingrid :)

[@MeredithWhitfield]

s/o for making the tampon tax an issue of national importance & headline news.

[@Monica-McAppl3t0sh]

You did such a great job with this interview, Ingrid! I love that you brought up the luxury tax on feminine products in some states. My favorite part was the "sense of self." So cool to watch! :)

[@AndreaRenville]

When you described the moment President Obama walked into the room, it sounded a lot like when I met Taylor Swift. And I got so many happy feelings for you because those feelings are ones that I'll never forget. ❤️

[@haleypham]

THE LENGTH OF THIS VIDEO IS 9:11! ILLUMINATI! I'm joking pls don't hate me

[@monicagivesadvice]

omg I noticed that too

[@THESELENAGOMEZFAN876]

Too late

[@cheyennewoods2270]

its slightly ironic considering the video is about interviewing the President

[@savannahraisor1154]

Oh shit that's kind of awkward 😂 I doubt she noticed, she would've cut off a second somewhere

[@madaniela]

Omg! Creepy af!

[@jmervyn15]

Well done Ingrid! Congratulations, that's so awesome and well deserved!

[@bunnyjanie]

Aww I'm glad you enjoyed your experience. It was great watching you and I'm glad you filmed this discussion .

[@KatHorrocks]

Omg I watched the interview and you were SO amazing - so eloquent and came across perfectly :) you're a natural interviewer !! SO proud of you :) :)

[@marissaahn3613]

"...I WAS LIKE SLAM!!!" I felt the same way when you brought it up!! You're amazing girl

[@ColombyGirls13]

I watched the interview and for some reason i got emotional watching Ingrid interview the president, i was so happy for her

[@meagharkins]

Congratulations! That's amazing. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@arbatron1]

Just stumbled onto your video. Excellent job interviewing POTUS. Very intelligent sensible questions, and the last exchange choked me up a little. To think of all the people Mr. Obama brings together from all walks of life. I am a huge fan of his and now of yours.

[@stephaniemand]

I think it was a good idea they rehearsed it because it would have been extra nerve-wrecking if they hadn't. And I agree, I haven't heard of Destin before, and it was a great idea to create versatility by having 3 totally different people with different backgrounds to join the president for a conversation. You did great Ingrid and you looked amazing, charming, as usual. x

[@jessicaladd85]

You are right, Ingrid!!! The interview felt more like a great conversation than an interview. Fabulous job!

[@duaniaevans583]

Your interview was so awesome!!! it was great! I just loved it. Your questions were great and our president is just the best :)

[@mariaelze621]

Ingrid you did an amazing job! I am sooooo proud of you. I almost started crying. :)

[@dayunish3883]

I'm so proud of u Ingrid! 😍😍😍

[@TheKimberlyrider]

So proud of you Ingrid! Such an honor to meet and interview the President. You're awesome!

[@TheMari2882]

It's amazing to see how far you have come. Wishing you the best 😊

[@Lizziemoi]

I saw a newsarticle in one of the biggest papers we have here in Norway of you interview with the president! Fun how KZbin and you have grown since I first started to follow you 😊
