Obama: Israel-Hamas war forcing 'moral reckoning on all of us' I See the full speech

Former President Barack Obama said it’s “impossible to be dispassionate” after the terrorist attack on Israelis and the images coming out of Gaza, saying the conflict forces “a moral reckoning on all of us.” He made the remarks during a Chicago forum on how technology innovations like artificial intelligence are fundamental to safeguarding and expanding democracy in countries around the world. Watch his full remarks.

Mr. Obama, how is that our government can scrape up $7B dollars for a foreign war yet we cannot find the money to deal with the homeless issue? How are we finding Billions of dollars for other countries yet we cannot end hunger in America? Please help me to understand. Thank you.

[@RaffaellaIT]

In a nutshell, America is an empire ( since 1945) and as such must show its power, authority and grandeur all over the world through wars! But do not worry: everywhere is so. Every country is spending big big public money on armaments. Very sad.

[@crouchingcaterpillar]

Vote out the Democrats

[@zanzikar7]

Because Democrats want the problems for political reasons. They could've solved many problems under Obama's first two years when he had full control of congress, like the border, but they wanted political talking points to propagandize the people into voting for Democrats to keep power. Only thing Democrats care about is arresting Republicans and putting them in prison for 30 years like they are doing with the Jan.6th political attendants, once that is all done, then with out any opposition, the Socialist Democrats can impose their dictates upon the America people. Like for example, if your a republican you could have your bank account canceled like they are doing in Canada to Justin Trudeau's political opposition.

Have you forgotten that everything he tried to put into place to benefit the American people was blocked by the republicans.

You can't say that you've forgotten what it was like during that time now could you? As a president, you can't dictate what you want you can suggest and it's left with both houses to agree or blocked and the republicans chose to block as must as they could Amber Mitch boasted about how they would make sure nothing got to the people. It was due to jealousy, they didn't want him to do good while in office or to do better then they could. I'm certain you do remember their doing.

What democracy do we have if our President doesn't represent our voices

[@alistersutherland3688]

Grow up. No president ever represents everyone's voice. He {or she) is voted in by what is supposed to be a majority. That doesn't imply that everyone who voted for them shares all of their views. However, it's worth noting that only two Republicans have won a majority in the last 45 years. They have lost the popular vote - that is to say, the majority - in all but two elections in that time. But because of the deeply flawed Electoral College system, what the people voted for sometimes doesn't matter. But we make do with what we have, because that's what grownups do. And we work to make meaningful change as best we can. Because that is the system we have. As flawed as it may be. You might want to take a civics course. It would help you to gain some perspective.

If you don’t realize that this man, Obama, is one of the top three, if not #1, most altruistic, sincere, generous spirited men to have ever been POTUS, good luck in navigating through your actual life. He has no reason to come out and talk to these people, other than wanting to help. Look at the Republican President that he replaced, Bush Jr.? The guy has been a hermit since he left the WH, in 2009. He came off of his ranch maybe twice because he had to go to family funerals. Obama is telling these people a lot they haven’t experienced, and their applause acknowledges their appreciation. There’s nothing wrong with questioning a person in his position, but if you don’t listen, and just want to apply the standard negative theory, you’ll never see the good in life that can make a difference. It’s too bad that more people haven’t questioned the stories and lies that Trump has been feeding to the people that go to his rallies, this country would be better off if they hadn’t believed every lie he has put out there to divide the nation and get his fear-based votes.

War in Afghanistan (2001-2021): Although initiated before Obama took office, U.S. military involvement continued during his presidency. 2. Iraq War (2003-2011): The Iraq War also began before Obama's presidency, but he oversaw the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq in 2011. 3. Military intervention in Libya (2011): The U.S. took part in a NATO-led intervention in Libya, primarily through airstrikes, as part of the broader international response to the Libyan Civil War. These are the major military involvements during Obama's presidency.

At the 13:00 minute mark, when Obama said that we haven't discovered alternative economic systems to capitalism or socialism, that's not true. In the 20th century, Jacque Fresco came up with a concept called a Resource Based Economy, which opens up the markets to everyone, regardless of finance. I encourage people to look it up.

[@razvanrusan9319]

If I may, I think his point was more among the lines of communism / socialism really being the only widely known and tried alternative experiment to capitalism. Others are found in economics books, but very scarcely in history books. I will nonetheless look up that model, as you have piqued my interest.

[@AtlasJotun]

Yes, a concept. Not a pragmatic system that any political party has ever agreed to in any capacity, let alone gotten close to implementing. That was Obama's point (he didn't say "alternative" by the way, he said "better"). There have been many concepts put forth, but conceptualizing a system and actually implementing one are vastly different propositions. Have you read the book Fresco co-authored ('Looking Forward', published in '69)? His ideas of a "cybernetic society" and doing away with things like personal property sound utterly unhinged, and it's no surprise that people don't view tenets of that sort of system as "better". With the anti-repair legislation that companies like Apple, John Deere and Ford spend millions of dollars per year lobbying for, it does seem like we're slipping closer and closer towards exactly that type of 'you'll own nothing and be happy about it' society... and it's abhorrent.

​@seemakhan1795 hi, warm hearted wishes Your way. Your CREATOR Does Say extremely clearly that Their hearts are wicked and deceitful above all things, to the point You canNot even Know (Jer.17). May GOD Have Mercy on all and GRACE upon Grace In MESSIAH for HIS Elect; One group is Commanded to LOVE even Their enemies (CHRISTians)... and the other group (islam) is flat out Commanded to mųrdęr Us "People of the Book", Jews and CHRISTians. We want to show LOVE in MESSIAH to Them (as Commanded by YHWH GOD, In KING YESHUA), and that Is what We are doing. They, muslims (not just so called 'radical's, but all), are Commanded to mųrdęr Us by their uttlery wicked, Child Molesting (his 6year old Child Bride, Aisha, among many) False prophet! Pick up a quran, Surah 5, 8, it's disgusting. CHRIST Will Upjold HIS People and Give Them, Us the Victory, period. May the mųrderous system be brought down to the pit it came from, as soon as GOD Wills!
