Compare this to any of Trump’s interviews🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ then you’ll understand how far we’ve plunged
This digs DEEP, great interview. Not softball, but not contentious either. Very insightful.
Man, the stress of serving as the POTUS really ages a man.
Hot take: Obama speaking on politics is ACTUALLY calming. Like.. I can’t even look at anyone in politics today without my blood pressure spiking causing a migraine in turn inducing nausea.
What an incredible man. He is so smart and he is a gentleman.
Great interviewer, very well met by the intelligence of Obama
“The Republicans can’t even pass their own agenda.” Obama calling it LIKE IT IS. Almost all of their legislation has tanked and FAILED this year. Thank god.
Thank you for showing this interview, President Obama Is such a thoughtful good person.
The country owes this president a huge debt of gratitude. He took office with unemployment at 9%, Bin Laden in hiding plotting against us, an economy in free-fall, a failing US auto industry, and more challenges than I can list. The brotha fixed that.
Wow just a wonderful president, I miss a President trying to complete a sentence, aka trump , I miss them completing a sentence or boasting about what a king Trump is lol,President Obama was one of the best presidents in our country, no wonder Trump is so jealous, Obama has it all.
Great interview! Thank you President Obama.
I will truly miss him, he’s very thoughtful, purposeful, elegant, and an overall genuine person. These are not traits one can forge, one either is or isn’t. I began college when you were elected and thanks in part to your leadership and resiliency I have an amazing career in DC and my loans in the process of being forgiven. It wasn’t easy, but I busted my a** but here I am. Thank you Mr. President.
A great president.
I have nothing but love and admiration for Obama. It really bothers me deep in my heart when all these people are so ungrateful for his work and efforts. They blame him for everything.
Despite my policy views as a moderate Republican, I’m not quite sure why there is such hatred harbored by the right for this man. Have we any civility? I can’t imagine it being difficult to cooperate on a bipartisan level to assuage our problems?
I voted for President Obama both times and he’s a great leader. The media give him a difficult time but I think he is a good man and a great President. When Obama goes out of office there will be at least 20 books written about him and his historic Presidency.
“I think the Republican Party will be out of this in 10-15 years” Sorry Mr. President, you were wrong.
Loss of elective offices of all levels for Democrats, capping with the office of the POTUS. That’s the theme of Obama years.
Could you even imagine Trump trying to have a discussion like that ?
He mentioned automation before it was introduced in the media, let alone politics. Miss you bruv…
It’s sad that Obama will more likely be remembered for his shortcomings than his strengths, despite the fact that the latter, by far, outnumber the former. He is so charismatic, and is very perceptive on what America’s beliefs are. He may not be a great president, but he’s a good president, and an even better person. Intelligent and pragmatic. He embodies much of what a president should be. Nothing but respect for the man.
Great man!
amazing Interveiw
Obama always seemed to me like a very down to earth guy, who’s also much smarter than most of the other politicians. No idea why people hate him so much.
Love him or hate him… at least he can talk .
good one=)
I’ve decided for the next 4 years I’m just going to watch Obama youtube videos and pretend he is still President
Good guy. 👌
Reason, honesty, humility and humor. Going to miss this guy.
I felt so safe during the Obama years. He was well liked all over the world. And I like him too
Great interview
thank you!
16:50 I think our president had som bad tacos.
Interviewer thought he was smart but instead got a crash course in economics from a very smart and informed interviewee !
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Best president in my lifetime.
this is a great interview, i love the interviewer (His questions, etc.) and the president who is being interviewed
Obama was a smooth no nonsense type of guy, really open to being questioned and answering them. Trump don’t want shit from anyone who isn’t going to work and won’t support a nation unemployed.
I already miss him
Don’t underestimate memes and their persuasive power now that ppl are constantly online. Trump was memed into the presidency. With big help from Russia.
I have faith in the government.
NPR’s Interview With President Obama About ‘Obama’s Years’ Happy New Year Mr. President Obama and First Family !1.2.2017
Thank you
Thank you for NOT interrupting her
obama issue regarding the minimum wage act is out of date and non-essential align the democratic body.
Got to eat popcorn
Can we just keep him another 4 years?
Knowingly…..
America was blessed to have had such a president
SECURITY OF A ENTIRE NATION IS IN DANGER in response cut out out! really ???? Fifth grade teacher would say for misbehaving…. lame and shame
You’re gonna miss him America, incredible man.
How offensive to say that by expressing concern for, and general interest in, helping and defending people being hurt economically by globalization is simply “tapping into fear.” By that reasoning standing up for transgender people, blacks, hispanics is simply “tapping into fear”. Just throw up your hands, he implicitly suggests, you can’t stop any force that is acting upon you. It’s not just offensive, it’s defeatest, which is totally UN-American.
Truly inspirational…
That’s why unions are important. They leverage the weak bargaining power of low skilled workers. Here in Scandinavia where we have strong unions the corporations are trying to mitigate this by trying to introduce a new model where there are no employees and all former employees will be “subcontractors” making invoices to their former employer. This is an attempt to not only weaken the bargaining power of unions but also to try increase competition among individual workers. I think that’s wonderful, because as a provider of legal counseling I will have many new customers in the future, because they will all try to minimize their tax burden now that they are forced to be “self-employed” (just like any business would). The demand for shell companies outside EU jurisdiction will explode from all these former employees, now “self-employed” workers. Soon there will be no one to pay for education, hospitals, healthcare, infrastructure etc.
Who else listens to Obama as a Sleep aid?
(Obama passes the Bataan) “TRUMP! You’re running the wrong way!
I voted for Obama twice. I’m proud that I did. I miss him and Michelle terribly. I wish I could thank them for making me a better person.
nice interwiev for english improving
I do not like Steve Inskeep’s interviewing skills, but wow!! Barack Obama is the most eloquent, kind hearted, charming and intelligent POTUS ever <3 I will sorely miss him.
25:36 I’ve never seen someone say Umm without touching their lips together
Intelligent, compassionate, sincere; good values.
Such a brilliant mind…will miss your view and tempre Mr. President
Awesome, thank you Mr President
Who else is doing this for English class?
Who else hears the other guys nostrils ? Lol
inskeep for president
History will Judge him kindly
Reading the delusion in this comment section is amusing.
Obama = Legend
The president is the peacemaker and tone setter that moderates the relationship between the government and its constituents. I personally am a conservative but I believe that Obama was a terrific leader in that sense. Have some decency.
Yes he says italians came here but please show me a form translated in italian. No one.
Best, bright, brilliant…
npr is incredible productive, awsome
Congress is dysfunctional = they wont push my left leaning agenda
just here to watch him speak, miss him!
Man, I’m going to miss obama. Wish we could have him for another term. =/ He was a good pres.
Dirt bags
Funny seeing this guys face after years of listening to the radio. NPR forever.
Now that Mr. Trump has declared the ‘birther’ story a complete fabrication will any of you who posted this lie in the comment section have the decency to admit you were wrong and apologize?
The best president l. Love 💕. and. Family
Given a more amiable political environment and a functioning Congress, I think Obama could have been a great president. Many of his signature accomplishments (ACA, Stimulus, Dodd–-Frank, etc) were failures due to lobbyist/corporate involvement or fruitless compromises with the GOP, not to mention his continuation of some of Bush’s failed policies (drone wars, tax cuts, TARP, etc). He has some successes too (repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, allowing federally funded stem cell research, etc), but not nearly enough to call this presidency a great one. That said, we haven’t had a truly great president since FDR, in my opinion, because so much of the focus of a presidency is driven by the corrupted media, which has only been an issue since the mid 20th century. A more responsible news media would go along way to improve our politics.
I would be really appreciate if Obama were my president.
What if we stop talking about black and white
Ha! Obama said there are “different sets of fact”… not very different from Kellyanne and her “alternative facts” rhetoric.
I’m 19 and even I can see that Donald Trump is NOT going to “make America great again” all he’s proven is that there is still a surplus of ignorant poor people and the 1 percenters who love Trump.
Best pres. Check out Lucinda2005 my video of the polling place in Bogart Ga
This questions are just coined to make the president look bad. But it’s amazing how he’s able to make this guy look stupid. What a man!
Go brother ! Slide on into home base
Treason, treason, treason!!!!!
Holy cow; I can’t stand this geek.
Intelligent man
Absolutely BRILLIANT! A better president is probably a magician with a huge stick matching the memorial monument in DC.
The interview really dnt like him…u can tell
thanks 🎈🙆♀️🌈🙏🇺🇲🇰🇷
Regardless of what you think of his politics- he’s a fantastic Orator.
Reading the comments, Democrats are very easy to impress. Obama is simply presenting a basic, 101 analysis of what’s going on in our economy and society and politics. This is pedestrian stuff for not Republican politicians, but for Republican voters. And Democrats are so uninformed that they think he’s a genius. Now THAT explains the divide in our country.
He talks great but he’s lying throughout this interview. He didn’t try to fight for anything he said he did.
I salute you Mr.President for making us, the men and women in duty, proud to serve our country. You have not only improved the US Economy, but also the state of living in the US for millions of people. You have been a role model to us and to many leaders around the world. My time in line of duty in oversees, before you came in office compared to now has only improved. We are respected and taken seriously in the world. Thank you Mr.President, it is an honour serving you.
Leading while black – no easy task. He was a President for all people. An amazing and gracious leader who made America great again! Thank you President Obama!
The military style tribunal trial of HUSSEIN will be televised Live.
Coolest president ever
LIES ALL LIES…..
Why is this not on mainstream news?
Best president my best friend obama
I love obama!
33:07 obama farts
This reporter is a hater, well mr president I spoke to this one and that one and you didn’t do this or that. LOL I peeped his card early on and had he done any research he’d know how many times his initiatives were blocked by the gop.
It’s crazy how carefully he chooses his words, you can see he’s thinking hard about what he’s going to say. That is thinking power I only reserve for ‘dinner choices while high’ 😂
Blindingly intelligent, compassionate, eloquent, graceful, dignified. And funny as hell. Kids, get ready to vote in November. You get to decide who succeeds him.
eminently reasonable: the new hallmark of competency
Never have I heard so much BULL-SHIT!
Q’d!!!!!!!!
Treason now and you recorded it all for us!!! thank you for taping lying muslimbrotherhood barry obumma
Obama will go down in history as one of the best, in one of the worst situations.
I Wonder Who Made Their Cloth, Who Are The Taylors? The Woman No Shit……….. Witches Exist : )
Americans will miss this guy long after he’s gone.
Judge a man by his actions, NOT by his words which is what some people are trying to do here
We had a president O’Bomber was his name Since all his drone strikes, We’ve never been the same
Boy!!!He really lies well, doesn’t He? He can talk the talk, but he hides his crimes well.
what about the people that voted for bernie? really? cause we all wanted him to be the democratic nominee, but now we are faced with two candidates that NO one wants. it is worse than when bush and clinton faced off…
Obama failed getting the black kids to go to college
you’re America greatest President, God bless you
He needs to spend 8 years in prison.for treason
The Bank Clerk from Goldman Sachs, talking Liberal acting neoliberal
His ultimate downfall regarding his positions on Trump becoming president was having too much faith in the American people.
Can Trump have such a conversation? Can he articulate the facts as Obama has done? Can he get done what Obama has done despite the absurd opposition, sorry, even with support? I come from a country that has been riddled with poor leadership for over 50 years, its not pretty!!
in the end God win
AND YES WE ARE AFRAID OF THE FUTURE.
great oratory and fact-dense delivery by the President.
My neighbor got mugged by a black guy with a knife took his wallet what do you say about that
(NPR) National Propaganda Radio should not be tax payer funded. Tax payer money has no place in funding this anti-american news broadcasting outlet. They should be 100% privately funded if they want to spew this garbage.
worst mistake our nation ever made.
I hate comparing presidents who have not been out of office at least a generation – because you need that long simply to see how their policies worked (or didn’t work) over time. You can’t judge with a pragmatic eye the current or immediate former administrations non-critically because of that. However, I think one comparison that CAN be made now is the “slow-go” policies of Obama compared to the “I-want-it-now” policies of DT. Obama’s critics constantly slammed him (as they do to this day) that the economic recovery after the recession was too long, too slow and not enough. DT ripped away all the safety measures carefully put in place, and while some can argue that the economy took off because of that – as DT has endlessly bragged about – he also lost every single penny – AND MORE – of the wealth that was generated since his inauguration because of his slow response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Obama’s policies took time – over his entire eight years in office. DT’s wiped out more than 30% of the stock market in just under one month. Again, time is needed to see how we recover (if we do) from this pandemic, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it won’t get hit the same trajectory as it did when Obama was in office. And DT DIDN’T have a recession to start with, either.
This interview was staged, rehearsed several times before it was filmed. NPR is a left wing propaganda news outlet. All you have to do is listen to Cookie Roberts and you will understand where NPR real agenda is. STOP GIVING NPR TAX PAYERS MONEY, NOW!!!!!
He cant even speak without a note pad. Can anyone even name 3 positive things this man has accomplished for the american people while in office?
He is on denial we have a Hispanic invasion. Our language is not English is spanglish
Obama was all talk no results I like presidents who deliver results not empty talk
TRUMP 2016 *********************
The Last Great American President
Obama 4+minutes in saying the media is to different so they want it controlling and basically Saying it should be certain news for all – taking freedom away from people voicing their own opinions
If you are american and you do realize how great this man is and what a great job he has done for your country and the world, KUDOS to you. you are one of the bright ones. If you don’t, well, you should probably go and educate yourself a little bit.
So many words and sentences Trump voters cannot understand 🙁
Obama was so arrogant …glad we survived his horrible presidency
Trump is the best for America!
