Notice that Pres Obama takes great care not to take direct credit for most of the interview. He credits the Navy Seals, he credits the Intel community, he credits his team. Pres Obama was and is a class act!
He's a killer who supported the invasion of Iraq which killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians.
Yet if it went wrong he was going to take full responsibility. That too me is the difference in Mr Obama and other leaders.
What’s Pres Obama?
A true leader, unlike his successor.
It's a matter of opinion. I think that President Trump is a true leader as well.@@blownspeakersss
This is what a real leader sounds like. Those who try to lead through fear and intimidation do so from a position of weakness.
😂😂😂😂😂 foh
What about leaders who are senile and hardly know who or where they are?
Leader?!?!?😂🤣😂🤣 his husband, Michael is the one who wears the pants in that marriage 😅😂😂
He just knows what to say and how to say it. You have to learn to actually know what he’s really saying instead of what it sounds like. He’s also said some whoppers that the media likes to cover up for him.
@@lindseysanders3656 hasnt every president
I didn't vote for President Obama but this is a job well done. It's nice to hear a coherent and professional President in times like these

This is still one of the best interviews I have watched. Obama is calm, measured and yet so articulate and intellectual.
خلي يولي تبرأ من موطنه الأفريقي ولم يقضي فيه على المجاعة.
Presidents should feel like someone that is intelligent and mentally strong on either side of the board something we have been lacking since 2016
You must have not graduated from elementary if you think this is what an intellectual sounds like.
I like to say Obama will go down in history with Biden as the trash in the White
😂😂😂😂😂
A real leader, always praising the others for their work and taking responsibilities for the risks. He takes his fellow men's lives and works seriously.
كذبت يمعتوه
You must have drank the entire pitcher of kool-aid.
I used to be very critical of Obama during his presidency but gosh damnit I would give anything to have him back in the Whitehouse compared with what options we have now.
Trump was an infinitely better President. Obama was a disaster and people know it, no matter how liberals turn a blind eye to the fact.
Trump was vastly better. Obama just has the news media really kiss his feet.

The story of Obama's unlikely rise to the presidency from fairly humble beginnings will be told & retold throughout our nation's future. Agree with his policies or not, you cannot deny he radiates poise, intelligence, equanimity, and charisma like few leaders have. A truly unique and gifted individual.
Speak for yourself
Obama was in the right place at the right time. Also, Hillary was the person nobody wanted for President.
@chaseleopold
Thats what a comment is..?
Trouble with semantics Rusbot??
How many skulls we're cracked at todays funeral?
You are right, and you couldn't express it better. In my opinion, He is one of the best POTUS ever. History will acknowledge his honorability. His acomplishments in spite of the circumstances are astonishing even beyong his administration.
@@user-rd3oj5fw7m Yes, bombing Libya, literally doubling the US national debt, failing to revive the economy, sowing racial hatred, demonizing law enforcement, plenty of terrorist attacks in the USA...the list goes on.
So refreshing to hear from a real leader. Right, wrong, good, bad, right or left, this is what a leader sounds and behaves like!
"Did you tell Michell?" and he started to stutter😂😂😂😂
Lol .. he told 🙂
@@infoff1 Eyes started twitching too 😂😂
The adults were truly in the room.
When Former President Obama speaks, everyone listens. President Obama is one of the most intelligent president, America has ever had. He’s smart and articulate.
Yes, he is.
@ryanreedgibson yes we can
Awesome
There is but one “Stain” in his presidency which i am sure he knows and regrets…Joe Biden!
cap
Nobody can take away the fact that this President wanted our enemy eliminated and made sure that happened!
21:29 “we don’t have to spike the football” now that was gangsta 😂😂
Remember Deflategate?
A president who can actually communicate intelligently.
great man, great president, great individual all around. he is hardcore stone cold cool. Love this man. He went about the job like a president.
Wrong wrong and wrong
Obama the economic equivalent of Adolf Hitler! Hitler unleashed the Second World War, Obama unleashed an economic analogue of the Second World War (the author of the idea is Paul Krugman, the executors of the US State Department and Special Services, the Command of Special Operations Forces)! Both of them carried out an operation under a false flag, operation canned food "Action Conserve" at Obama, Malaysian Boeing flights MH370+MH17 acted as cans!

@@josephayers7395don’t be bitter, it’s ok.
@@josephayers7395 let me guess Trump supporter?
What struck me was how often former President Obama referred to his team and praised others. When he did refer to himself it was in the first person, often in reply to a direct question and/or taking responsibility for his actions.
The complete opposite to how the current, criminally repeatedly indicted former single-term President Trump speaks, always.
NTM Obama is articulate, one of the few things Trump has never been accused of.
100% agree with everything you have said. I may not have agreed with all of Obama’s policies, but one thing I’m certain of is that he’s a thoroughly decent man, something the tangerine wannabe tyrant has never or will ever be.
@@thelaurels13 Jimmy Carter and JFK as well.

From our President to all of our military personnel that makes it their duty to protect our soil, civilization, and our god given freedoms. Thank you. 🇺🇸 From today till forever. God bless.
I loved Obama being President, not bevause he was black, because he was educated & more than qualified. And did well as President with what he had to work with! 💯
😂you fool 😅
It's striking how controlled he is. He doesn't give anything away even being interviewed by a top notch journalist. He's a consummate professional. And to think when he was nominated for the democratic ticket I didn't think he had enough experience for the job.
If you want to understand what kind of a player he would be at poker, listen to what Seth Meyers had to say about Obama at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
Obama attended the WHCD, went back to the WH situation room to watch the Navy Seals take out Bin Laden, in real time.
Chess Bavy never Checkers😮
Barack is a complete epitome of what Role models look like
Apparently he killed 99 percent of civilians with his drone strikes

@@justynhunter9976 Stop showing your jealousy to everyone

We went from this to an ex-president grifting $400 gold colored Made-in-China sneakers celebrating an attack on our own Capital. Idiocracy was suppose to be a movie.
He didn't celebrate the "attack" on the Capitol
It’s almost like we’ve been punished for previously having such a competent president for 8 years 😭, the pendulum swung in the opposite direction
@@BryonLetterman He sure as hell incited it. Despicable behavior by any American, especially a president.
The idiots are the ones who believe that Obama was any good as a President. He was a disaster.
How in the world did we go from Obama to Trump?!!! Really America, do better!!!! THIS MAN IS A TRUE LEADER!!!!
And now we're to biden
@@mattent-jt9kt We need better candidates; younger candidates like Barack was when he took office. I don't think anybody on either side of the fence is excited about Biden/Trump being our most recent presidents. The parties need to look in the mirror and offer the voters better options.

Obama killed hundreds of thousands if men woman and children from the Middle East...
The media wasn't out to destroy Obama. Entire political parties weren't out to destroy Obama. Obama made mistakes on behalf of the American people, but he's 100% times better than Biden.
Greatest, Smartest President in the last century
I liked the guy too but can we stop the sycophantic praising, in the end they are elite society career politicians
I disagree. I for one, voted for Obsma 2 times and I believe he means well, but hes a complete failure at uniting Americans together, foreign relations, and his baby, “obama care”. Trump pre covid, smoothed over foreign relations with most of our biggest enemies, drastically lowered illegal immigration, and provided us with a amazingly booming economy. Obama is remarkable at fitting the mold of what a president should appear like, but Trump is the guy, when you simple just want to get stuff done. Never voted for Trump before but I seen enough to know, I will definitely for him this time around. Trump 2024 👍🏾
History will make him a great president. The last "presidential" president. Education, demeanor, leadership, confidence, resolve, and transparency - all unparalleled. This country misses you my friend. Thank you for your service.👍👍👍

Greetings from Philippines!!!!
Thank you for your support 🙏👍
Re-watching this in 2023, the way Obama speaks during this important documenting of Bin Laden's killing in this interview is so impressive when you think about how such an interview would have gone if it were his successor being interviewed for ANY topic at all. Obama's answers are intelligent, thoughtful, concise and on point. None of that injecting bleach into the body to eliminate COVID gobbledegook.
Injecting bleach into the body. That's probably what happened to Trump.
Proud to be an American 🇺🇸
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
We don’t need to spike the football. That was a bar.
I am deeply admired of his precise and accurate responses that reflect consistently his leadership skills. He acknowledges his team members in every response while reflecting his decision making process throughout the operation. Also, he is a born diplomat that he constantly highlights utmost sensitivity of this operation against other’s soil, belief, and power.
Obama was the epitome of what a president should be. If he hadn't formed the mission to capture Bin Ladin, I don't think that no other president would have. We need more Obama's as president.
@@user-gx9dq9fx4g We had one too many Obamas. Any President would have done what Obama did, and despite the whitewashing the news media gave him, Obama was a disaster.

How is that the bloodiest ever?? Have you seen the '100s of thousands or millions' killed during real wars? I just don't get people these days, they believe whatever.
Shhhesh when he said The fact you will never see bin Laden walking on this earth again was powerful asf
A very fluent and articulate man.

Obama is a smooth talker. No one disputes that.
What impressed me the most was moments leading up to the raid was the deflection while at white house correspondence dinner ... How can someone play poker with the world like that! Wow !!
Bada$$ is all I can say. I would have been dribbling my soup onto my shirt!! 😂
When they flashed that video of him smiling at the dinner, I swooned. Didn’t get any better than that
very strange watching this now
His greatest joy was to "see our capacity as a nation." True American words... we did a great thing TOGETHER.
At this point I'd've much rather have Obama get a third term than have Biden get one💀💀

He Makes Me Proud to be a African-American. (smile)

Obama took a chance, that the previous two presidents didn’t, to place his presidency at risk. Those of us who are old enough to remember when Carter oked a raid to get hostages out, and when it wasn’t successful, it was one of the reasons he was not re-elected. Obama has my eternal gratitude.
wow. This guy is magical.
Great interview 60 minutes. Your show rocks!

History will remember Pres. Obama for getting this horrific enemy. Obama took all the responsibility for justice for our country. He would have received many attacks if this mission failed, but he was brave and took the risks.
Good decision he made to save both countries that were affected by the issue.
Amazing show!!!! Great reporting. Congratulations!!!!
this video is only about 38 Minutes long. Is the missing third just ads on tv?
Obama was so calculated with his words and knew what to say and when to say it without saying too much or too little! Man, he should have stayed the President permanently!
Damn constitution lol
The US president I admire most...very low profile and down to earth...
He is a true leader. Keeping operations amongst those with a need to know is critical and led to a successful mission.
Obviously
Tonight is the Night awaited for so long
My god in heaven I miss having an intelligent thoughtful very eloquent president who actually understands all aspects of foreign policy , military capability and so much more. It’s surreal that a titan of a man like this was replaced by a literal bafoon. It is still mind boggling.
