Barack Obama meets Marcus Rashford | In conversation – Blog

Earlyturtle

Marcus Rashford is an innately decent human being. They’re rare to begin with, rarer in the circles of people as successful and or influential as he is, and rarer still in the times we live in. We’re extremely lucky to have him.
Oliver Wiggin
I truly admire Marcus’ level headedness and ambition to make positive change in his community and the country as a whole. He’s using his platform for good when he could be a 23 year old millionaire just enjoying his life. Very inspirational young man, and I’m extremely intrigued to see what he makes of his future post football.
Joseph Pearce
Respect to Obama for calling it football and not the S word
Esi N
You can see how impressed President Obama is with Marcus. I love it 😀
Ali Y
I can’t believe how mature Marcus is at such a young age, we need more celebrities like him.
G
The respect Obama shows Rashford with his body language is just great. This is a fantastic interview.
SHEM BEVERTON
The interviewer did a great job in putting Obama and Rashford at ease. That’s how you ensure that a subject is as forthcoming as they can be.
Ernest O'reilly-Wright
Such an inspiring conversation. Learnt so much already on leadership in 30mins than I’ll do in a month in a lecture room. Priceless!!! 😍
C
I couldn’t fathom being my 23 year old self and handling pressure the way that Marcus does.
Enrique Wells
This conversation needs to be shared with young people. So important for them to understand the very basics of success is reading, researching and learning from stories that mirror their own background and the heights that can go achieved by starting with a book.
Kshitij Singh
A superstar footballer who loves to read. I love the sound of that.
EazyKM
Great conversation. As a Liverpool fan, I have respect for Marcus for what he did. I hope our players will also amplify social issues in a positive way and be part of such great conversations. Football is more than a game.
Charles Morgan
This is so Amazing, and inspiring may God bless President Obama and Marcus Rashford.
Peter Pedrito
I can’t imagine being as decent and articulate as Marcus is at 23 👍
Situmbeko Mubila
I recently fell in love with books at age 36. I have learnt a lot in this brief period of reading and I regret the time I have wasted living without reading. I urge all parents to encourage their children to embrace the culture of reading. Reading books is really eye opening.
Brett Walker
I always enjoy listening to Barack Obama speak, but I found myself leaning forward whenever Marcus Rashford spoke during this – it was a joy to hear him talk and express the motivations behind the wonderful things he’s been doing in the last year.
Jake Hope
I just love their humbleness. Credit to both of them going through completely different careers but making such a positive impact.
Carlton Banks
I expected Rashford to say “Yo Obama, it’s sunny innit!”
kwame sarpong
June, this is a wonderful interview. You are really good at what you do. Keep it up.
Raja Madhav
The way both listen to others when they speak is such a joy to watch
Zena Howard
Absolutely spot on, Earlyturtle. Marcus is INNATELY decent – it’s not a PR stunt, or to gain fans, it’s because he posses an absolute authenticity. So uplifting to hear President Obama and Marcus in conversation – it restores one’s faith in humanity. Thank you all.
Jay R
Two exemplary leaders. Made in Manchester – we are so proud of you Marcus.
Bernard NDIEGE
It’s great when someone who has achieved so much in their lives come out and portray themselves as being human and acknowledging that they haven’t always been on the right path but from their previous mistakes and wrong choices were still able to pull it together. This is huge!
dossube
The person who invented “interview” is smart but the lady who set up this interview is a genius.
John Aboshim
This is inspiring from both men. Marcus’ sense of maturity is devine because its very unusual for a boy his age to be full of so much wisdom.
Wizard Of Oz
I love Marcus as well. He is amazing footballer and more importantly a nice human being.!!! Thanks to both for sharing their thoughts with us.

Loved how Marcus spoke straight from the heart ❤️ and Obama closing his eyes 👀 sometimes to absolve it. Banger 💥
B Beela
I am so glad that the UK and the world can see the genuine, kind and good character of Marcus😊next time you see a young black man in a hoodie, think about Marcus and not cliches of gang violence and knife crime. Thank you Marcus, for being an excellent ambassador for us 👌🏾🥇🏆👍

Bill Baggio
Obama is a cool dude, Could not imagine talking to anyone who has been in a similar position to him – but obama is a cool, calming man who looks so easy to talk to , and he listens. As for marcus, proud of him, I’m glad he uses social media to do good and not just use it to make money or grow your ego. Intelligent sportsman meets Intelligent president – great video.
Chrisogonas O. Mc'Odhiambo
That was a very rich conversation. “If you want to have influence, you can’t do it alone; you have to do it with a team… You create a team by building trust with others who might share your experiences.” ~ President Barack Obama
Ronak Joshi
Marcus Rashford and Barack Obama what a team! Roles models. We need more role models in society who care for society as a whole!

I love Marcus Rashford, he’s an inspirational young man even for someone a good decade older than him. He’s the best of British to borrow that old phrase. President Obama, as a Briton I love him too. Such a decent man who achieved a lot in one of the most difficult jobs despite getting things wrong as all presidents/prime ministers do.
DaLac
Great interview! Had no idea Rashford was doing all those things. Good for him!!

Both Barack and Marcus represent a new wave of thought: in that, we wrestle not against flesh or skin colour, race or gender; instead, we wrestle against the ideologies and unruly laws which hinder the progression of all minorities on this GLOBE! PEACE AND SAFETY FROM LONDON TO THE WORLD!!!!!

As I watching both speaking tears were coming down my face full of emotions and shared learning from them. I am Man U fan and Rashford in person I could I couldn´t believe the calmness he showed in the penalty taking against PSG match would be the same in from of Obama.

Excellent motivation by both of the young men but i really believe Maecus did an excellent job as a youth. Thanks for your needed effort to capture our young people.

Moe. Moe.codgamer
First of all thank you for the great interview between Marcus and Obama. I have 2 points. 1- absolutely great speech by the former president , with few words it gives a lot of ideas. 2- Marcus even if your book is great and you help feeding the poor people, the problems are not solved, you can’t change our planet’s population just by writing a book in English language, this book won’t affect other people’s life who cannot read it or not even allowed to learn about your book where they live. Again the book is great but it has very small effect..( here is a good example, you feed the poor , but you forgot how to solve the main problem which is why people become poor in the first place? ) I think solving problems should be done by finding the main cell that causes the problem and heal it. Thank you.
Jordan Mkay
Imagine being that host, what a dream opportunity

Marcus rashford is in my prayers for his amazing work with tackling hunger and poverty and his documentary was amazing. OBAMA you were a president for 8 years I can’t recall one good thing you did for black people, Americans or humanity. Rashford used his status to highlight a serious issue in children going hungry and doing something about it in a PANDEMIC! Obama wants to be remembered just coz he was a black president. !

Such a great interview! I just love how humble Marcus looked and the way he talked, good on him! Am I the only one who noticed that Obama aged a lot after leaving the office? Still looking great though! 😀

Love this, love this.

I like what Marcus is doing. More footballers should follow his lead. Many young people, especially boys, look up to footballers so footballers can raise awareness and encourage positive behaviours. This book club he has is good as many boys don’t read so this may change some people
rumor with legs
Wow, what a lucky guy that is. He got to meet someone who has inspired so many. Who has made history. Who has inspired millions. Obama must feel really lucky.

I am going to order the Marcus book. I am a Chelsea fan but still am a black young boy and its a pleasure for me to idolize a fellow black hustler

Obama is so epic nobody denies his epicness

Thanks for organising this discussion, Penguin books

Brilliant interview

The biggest take away i get from this is the word “CURIOSITY”. Ultimately, this is the fuel to progress. You may never read even one book in your life BUT if you have CURIOSITY, you will make an impact

I will keep saying it over and over, Barack H Obama in my view was the very best President the USA ever had. So sorry the opposition did not give him the chance to really show his worth.

I always felt like for Rashford, the hard bit wasnt about doing following his heart and doing what he did since it had to be done, it was staying true and following through despite INTENSE scrutiny. So many including Mancunians where so quick to say “stick to yer day job”, “stay outta politics”, and I know many still dislike him for being stubborn. But that’s where he’s earned my respect even tho I detest United. He’s picked a path where he knows his young career will always be on the line and he knows he’ll have lost tribal support but he’s done what was necessary. Those kids dont care about politics. the least they deserve is a day’s meal!

Indeed, as said by The president, PATIENCE,, mostly for us the young generation,, need to be abit more patient, and more mature with Marcus as our example,, great work from these Three,,

President Obama will be my favorite president always. He has so much class and nobility. He is the epitome of Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s, ‘content of his character’. I love him so very much. He gives me hope and continues to inspire me to do better and be better.

I’m proud of you guys

I gave this video a thumbs up because Obama didn’t call football the S word.
Bhavya
Great that I found this video on two great personalities

I didn’t realize how much Rashford has become respected in Britain outside of soccer/football.

This woman explains too much about everything…Just let’s hear from the best president,and the best striker of the world.

We need to protect Marcus at all cost

Excellent interview June. President Obama is the most classiest President ever. Humble, funny, intelligent. Marcus, again humble, with a good grounding in his young life. His mother, must be so proud of him. For President Obama to say at the end of the interview, he hoped to meet Marcus in person. YES PLEASE. In Manchester, President Obama meeting Marcus’s mother and meet some of the young people, Marcus works with. That would be amazing and June, could be the host of the event. To the Universe, make it happen. 😁🙏🌍

The way he blinked when she said “first black man” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jojo
Well done 👍 Marcus President Obama my respect ✊🏾 always Diversity is key 🔑 Whilst being successful start looking elsewhere to enhance your capabilities
Kai QU
I am still hoping that Marcus can do a lot more on the pitch, rather than off the pitch. Although I am totally with him that he is doing great off the pitch, but he has not fulfilled his capability and talent on the pitch.
Lucky Bilahi
Obama is da best leader ever in da world
Dan
‘A Promised Land’ is fabulous.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An American said “footballer” OH MY WORD!!!
Marjorie Mutemererwa
Very educational. Thank you

Really moved with Marcus maturity not to mention Obamas simplicity. He just makes things easy and simple like breathing nah.
Ingrid Grattidge
I have to interject, George Washington University Hospital is the epiphany of this, which you speak of. From the Chairman to the interns, what an incredibly amazing diverse and caring hospital in DC.

#rashfordmeetsobama Leadership that seeks to people and ideas is the best kind of leadership and one that the world needs now. The 44th President of USA Obama and Marcus Rashford MBE both embody that purest form of leadership. May God continue to bless and protect them Amen.

refreshing interview

The former US President. Obama is always gracing us with his inspiring words. His speeches are informative and instructive. He’s advocating human rights, promoting the culture of human rights, and calling for observing civil rights.🌹❤️

Bloody hell, here I am shaking and feeling like a dropped trifle after my second dose of vaccine, and there are the carismatic, charming Obama, the kindhearted and cutest man of England Rashy, and a professional, intellectual and incredibly pretty Penguin lady. I’m going to need a smoke.

Marcus Rashford is an absolute hero. What I don’t understand is how so many people in England understand and support what he says but then vote Tory. North West v the rest I suppose. Keep up the amazing work Marcus!

Good work mr.president Obama and Rashford. Same thing am doing here in Kenya (kibera slum) am the founder of Warriors Youth Team, the purpose is to let Youth learn there alot of positive things we can use to change our community and and a country as a whole by use of our God given talents and skills. I formed this group during the Covid 19 when the country was completely closedown then I realized the youth are lost in sexually activities,drug abuse, theft e.t.c That’s what made me to start this group so that we can make a change. The group is 2 1/2yrs now. We are still pressing on.

A dope ass man is a dope ass man He’s the one that’s got the master plan He’s the one on the voyage of man He’s sailing on the voyage to the promised land He’s sailing all alone cause he can never fit in Fit in to the program that the people believe in He’s living all alone in the land of the living It’s a place where you never ever give-in It’s a meta world conceived in the heart The seat of the emotions sets it apart And in that seat we plant a seed A seed that’s gonna turn into a good deed
Pedro Barboza
