- Scores of young leaders poured into the Assembly Hall at the University of the West Indies on Thursday, April 9, 2015, to listen to the powerful and encouraging words of United States President Barack Obama.
Obama was there to encourage, just like a preacher at Pulpit....He is just offering a message of hope, it is up to the people to take on board that message and run with it!
Thank you President Obama. I am 61 years old and the last time I saw young people in Jamaica this engaged was in the 70's when I was at this stage of development,when Michael Manley was able to capture my attention as a youngster. I became committed to Jamaica then because of Michael Manley's then ability to engage young people. These youngsters need this guidance and guidance today, as they are what my 20+ son described as a" fatherless" generation. Meaning.....Few leaders care enough to talk to them like this on a regular basis. Please leaders, (community society and educators),.Lets use this opportunity to change the way we communicate with our Jamaican youth.
Claudette Crawford Brown The man inspire in such a way that virtually none of the current Jamaican PM's can....If people don't like it...Too bad..
He seems like the president of Jamaica!!!
LadyKurfuu He is certainly more Presidential than the current person running Jamaica!
What makes me smile is this....If an African Leader came to Jamaica, no one would take any notice whatsoever....Jamaica is free but so colonial for historical reasons.
Wah gwaan, Jamaica 😂
I love the Jamaican accent
President Kennedy spoke in German when he visited Germany in the 1960s. He said, "I am a Berliner." The crowd went crazy and that phrase is played over and over. It's a very famous part of his speech. Why are so many people upset that President Obama spoke in patois. As a good speaker you should speak in the language that the people can understand. You should speak on the level of the people. Plus it broke the tension and got everyone laughing. It will certainly be remembered.
soulshadoww55 The people complaining about him speaking in patois are some of the very same people that copy US slang,style of dress and trust me, are the same people that would not say no to a GREEN CARD!
soulshadoww55 You have a snobbish element in Jamaica who do not like their own accents, and also shun anything that is expressed in Jamaican patois. They are called Massers colonial children....
That was awesome love it
I love this man.
I love him
His homeland is Kenya !
big up mr Obama
He's a Obamabaclaat!
Dude is great with crowd
Flawnless Epic
I hate ignorance some people just chat too much
The Rasta asked him about the HEMP industry, not about legalizing ganja...Obama did not listen to the question!
Lash BZ the rasta shouldn't need to ask a question like this, a question on that matter should be directed to his own government. unless he is a us citizen then he should ask that in the us. probably thats the reason he didn't answer the question and awkwardly avoided it.he isnt the "rastas" president nor any other jamaican in that room.
Lash BZ Given the opportunity to ask a question to POTUS....All the dread could focus on was the legalisation of Weed! Hemp....Whatever! TYPICAL FOOLISHNESS!
Delroy Constantine-Simms Obamas is the President of the USA not Jamaica....Foolish question and the best way for the dread NEVER to get a Visa to the USA.....Short sighted in the highest order.
***** Obama did answer the question! Most importantly, if an when weed is legalized, how is that going to lead to the development of Rastafari! ?
Thats not the question he asked, however that is a good question, but not a question the rasta must pose to any government its a question they must ask them self and find the answer to. many Jamaicans sit down waiting for someone to do something for them, somethings you have to do for self. get back to do for self, then bring solutions to the government and have them implement what ever that needs be, being it is just and within the constitution. it is the government that work for the people. not the other way around.
Yes China is investing but their cut of the country is so massive you guys will not be able to piss without permission. Just wait. Nobody does anything just because they love Jamaica its location with benefits. We as black folk must learn to see beyond the obvious. Beautiful streets in 30 years ain't nothing when you are not allowed to even walk down that street. Remember those words
I wonder if he is the coolest president ever!...just wondering.

Did Jamaican just heard what President Obama said about china building infrastructure in their country?
Big up! UWeee😂
talking to black people Obama was my favorite
Jamaica worst nightmare
JAMAICANS NEED TO KEARN HISTORY CORRECTLY! VICTORIA'S IS CROWN VICTORIA
You would think I ran the world like Michelle’s husband
MARCUS GARVEY IS MY FAMILY LINEAGE! YOU HATE HIM GWBUSH PUPPET AND HIS COUSIN
They love him cause he is black but the fact that he destroyed North Africa and sceeming the rest of it, that is not important!
Bad
Don't talk about China...China is great
barack,nah do nothing for jamaica, the man know how to give sugar,ask those who know.
sharon terrell Barack is not the Prime Minster of Jamaica. More importantly, what is Jamaica doing to help itself. That is the question. Jamaica as a whole love ask for handout. If you want things done, ask your Prime- Minister in stead of Barack....As if he has an obligation to help Jamaica....He does not!
