Dream job. Great to hear some of the inner workings.

What a man Obama is. Beautiful family.

[@mariagil2833]

I understand you, he was and is a great leader that shows respect to people that works with him.

[@arseniyonline1234555]

Imagine Trump staffers saying "he never raised his voice, he never got angry"

OBAMA my president !!!! Here from west Virginia

[@macalice1]

What’s a nice man,Obama ❤️❤️❤️

[@djpete2009]

I have always had issues with Obama. I never liked him. I never liked him because he was to quiet as an instrument of Racial injustice in America. I felt Martin Luther King would be somewhat proud yet dejected at the missed opportunity to hold a national dialogue to heal both sides. But listening to your full show at Oxford made me see THE MAN. A complete gentleman. I always knew that, but you brought it home in ways that kinda made me reconsider my beef. Thank you 🙏🏻

Ignorant comment, ultimately. Lack of knowledge.

[@peterwakeman9930]

Killing people makes for a murder

[@mwilliamson3989]

So worthy of hearing ❤ and missed. Former President Obama is one of the most well spoken and classiest people I’ve ever seen. ❤sorely miss Both Him and His First Lady Michelle Obama and their daughters.

[@damianking5959]

That’s not true, he’s lost control of his crowd and lost his temper trying to regain their attention one time.

[@caridennis3171]

What did he do when he lost his temper?

[@clinthammer965]

He doesn't get mad, he goes golfing.

[@benjaminodonnell258]

Clint Hammer Not nearly as much as Trump does.

[@smartgirl9023]

That trump

[@ywnotube]

Clint Hammer You, poor soul... You only want to believe what you think. Then again, you might be a Russian, in that case, I understand.

[@cestlaami]

must suck to be you now

[@randomuser1687]

Lol all these butthurt libtard fucks

[@keithherrera1038]

Are you SERIOUS? His pride is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! HE LITERALLY CANT HANDLE ANY CRITICISM BECAUSE HE THINKS SO HIGHLY OF HIMSELF AND HE GOT MAD ALL THE TIME! This is nonsense.

[@KumoCC]

Source? :)

[@dwaynesmith9066]

Sound like your boy Trump

[@keithcollins7435]

It is the temperament. I never heard Obama yell are degrade you when their was a disagreement. He does not bash you like the Conservative Party. Yes, he gets annoyed but the temperament is the same.

[@overout429]

Why would he get angry, he never knew what was going on.

[@jeancoughlin5490]

Of you are referring to Pres. Obama that is completely untrue. Not every President is a lazy, ignorant ass who spends a good part of his day getting his leadership ideas from a tv network and then regurgitating it to the public when he isn't tweeting inconveniensults like a 3rd grader.

[@maximasantos8955]

Really! Apparently you're not updated with events happening in your country or just refuses to acknowledge the reality that Pres Obama has done a lot considering what he inherited from his predecessor.
