Barack Obama delivered the keynote address at Rutgers University’s commencement on May 15, 2016. He is the first sitting president to speak at a Rutgers commencement ceremony.
+George Hoffman - - - His nose is getting longer while we speak. History was made @ Rutgers friends, as historically it will be noted that the worst President in history stunk it up @ commencement while the polluted Raritan tried to catch up with his lying rhetoric in the background.
@@johnpuleo3176 that's usually how most prominent people are. I know very few people that write their own speeches. none the less He's a good orator and its my personal opinion. Not really concerned with how other people think. That's the beauty or opinions. We are all entitled to them.
Trump can't even speak well let alone give a speech. When i her these speeches made by President Obama i realize neither of the two remaining democrates candidates are this clever and eloquent.
+Kira Kira They why is it that 10 million Americans are obsessed with TRUMP ? I am pretty confdent he will not be the President BUT the Loss may anger his Supporters and not to mention the MANIAC himself. Last time he took to Twitter on Obama's Re-election in 2012 with some Nasty Tweets .Let's see what he does this time.
+Jay Torres, you should learn to make facts your friend buddy. It makes things easier. I have no idea why some people perpetuate this false narrative that democrats in erase spending and republicans are fiscally conservative. Can show me some facts? Do you know how the surplus of the 90s turned into deficiet in early 2000s?
My god, what a speech. How I will miss President Obama. Great mix of intellect, wisdom, calmness, bullheadedness and sense of humour...I am lucky to be in the generation that witnessed this great president.
Such an inspirational speech! This instilled in me the awareness that I am part of a generation filled with enthusiasm, and ambition and that it is my job and it is within my power to change the world and to make it a better place in the future than it is today
this is truly the best speech of the 21st century. one for the ages. I really wish they let this guy be President. So much truth. President Obama knows his legacy is sound and his advice profound.
Just watched this speech in it's entire length. I kept wondering if our current president in 2017 could EVER deliver such a speech to give hope to the graduates of a university.
I was at this graduation thanks to my niece who was graduating. It is a memory I will always cherish. He was a wonderful speaker and a real leader. I watched him last night and wanted to cry remembering that we once were great.
I am in limbo about Obama some things I agreed with him on and others I didn’t... but regardless of who is the president I was honored that the president delivered my commencement speech...
I have never been interested in American Politics... Nor English politics come to that, however, I love watching President Obamas Speeches they are inspirational ...
+Klarita R Right on! He's amazing. In about 4 -10 years the racially ignorant will wake up and apologize for dragging him through the mud. He's navigated this country through some challenging times. We have much for which to be grateful.
My own regret is that I had a chance to to finish my bachelors to graduate in 2016 from Rutgers and I slacked... it would have been great honor to have the President deliver my commencement speech
+Laron Lemon "exactly why I enjoy this man".....So in-essence you are saying that you are a typical brain-dead americano. No wonder your country is the Laughing-Stock of the World. Better get back to your "$15.00 per-hour fast-food job" so you can get paid for texting your >boyfriend< instead of serving the customers.
***** To the contrary my fellow homo sapien sapien. "It's not cool to not know what you are talkin' about." Someone wise once said, and it seems to me you should heed such words. Would you kindly explain to me why America "is the Laughing-Stock of the World?" Also, how did you arrive at the conclusion I work for a business who sells fast food? And how did you reasonably assert I would earn $15/hr doing so? Here in Utah Fast Food employees earn an average hourly wage of $7.25.
Laron Lemon"Kindly explain"??? Do you all ever look and listen to yourselves and how you really appear and are interpreted by other countries and cultures? The World is facing Real Problems and Issues and what is your country doing? Loosing sleep over asinine political campaigns that are more like a comedy road-show plus where people should use the bathroom or not because "little bruce is really a girl" and / or "little debbie is actually a boy". Normal People KNOW form the Get-Go what Gender they are.
***** Ah, I see now. You have been watching media outlets such as Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, etc. Propaganda broadcast by MAJOR American media outlets paints a poor image of this country; however it does not adequately depict the state of this nation, nor does it reflect the values of its citizens. Unfortunately, these major outlets have been usurped by corporate interests, such as the Koch brothers, in order to propagate fear, hatred, and conflict- which are tools of oppression. Although congress has been unwilling to change, I do believe the administration of President Obama has made strides in a more positive, and scientific direction; something which has to be partly due to his skills, leadership, and values.
I really hope my graduation at Rutgers is this special in 2019-__-Ugh darn these graduates. Could have saved a president for my graduation lol. But anyway Congrats class of 2016!!!
The only president I would ever want to meet is President Obama & his lovely wife, Mrs Obama, They are so inspirational. When they speak, I stop everything and listen. I just love them!!!!
lovely President. what it takes to be a President. The depth of study and understanding of challenges. patiently working on them. gaining wisdom and channelling all these for the cause of humanity. well done. It was a learning for me.
Wow who wouldn't be encourage by this commencement. You have to be cynical to even find fault with this speech Thank You President Obama. The world is better for having known you.
sometimes i like to put my self in the shoes of the the people that hate this guy and the his ideas ,and no matter how much i try i cant seem the logically understand how to critique this great man , you might say he is the president he can do whatever he can ,but can he ,real wisdom is the ability to break lose all the ropes that are holding you down and do whats right ,and im surprised by this man every time
good for you- i hope the tinfoil cap wears well at your job interview! most kids out of college do not find that dream job they spent mommie and daddies money on.
I am always inspired by Obama's uplifting speeches. I am so proud he is our President and will miss him. Can you imagine President Trump delivering inspiring speeches???
+Patty Cake Based on how "President Trump" has treated women, the best we could expect from him is verbal diarrhea. A malicious imbecile cannot make speeches. At best, he could utter a bunch of sound bites put together in a contradictory, senseless, inaccurate, deceiving fashion. Making "speeches" requires high intellect and knowledge.
Students are taking his advice and going against the #NRA in 2018! #marchforourlives sure makes Obama proud. Thank you, great man & President. Kudos! #BanAssaultWeapons #GunControlNow
You won't realize just how bad this president was until you learn some more in life . The shame is that you either bankrupted your parents , burdened yourself with student loans , or wasted the taxpayers money by soaking up public grants . This guy has no dignity , although he is less corrupt , maybe , than the Clintons . As I hear his dopey Rutgers speech for the 10 th time because it plays every time someone requires my tutoring on this site , I realize that the first few minutes are slightly plagiarized from " The Sunscreen Song " and "Keeping the Faith " by Billy Joel . You won't understand any of this until you become smarter .
I just needed to hear good spoken English ( Being French ) with clear concise rhetoric , how nice for the ears soul to listen to logic and passionate words. I've salivated the entire week on listening to president Obama...it's sexy to make sense.
what a beautiful person and a great president#Obama,,,i admire the Americans during Obamas but now the standard of USA is at the lowest when an inhuman like Trump is embraced as presidential nominee..the world will miss you dearly Mr. President.
+Laura Farina /// By the time all of this craziness wraps up, (up coming election...), Christie stand a good chance of coming up empty-handed in all scenarios.
Thank You President Obama! For reason, for logic, for truth with Intelligence. We can never stop growing the Human Race. Those babies needed that flight into the Future and I'm So Proud that it was a Man of Color to deliver the Logic.
When can this president get a day to recoup his strength? He has given all of himself and more for his work. To have done that means a need for constant ally who lends you strength of body and health is the person to look too. Too many people look on and do nothing but force you to work more and more. When the crowds pack in tight around you need a community that knows you well and protects you better from the many pains of effortful striving and the growing pangs of the urban world.
Let's all be honest. We're all gonna miss this man in a few months time.
no fuck free trade with usa nazis.obama was a terrible president he done he is pushing the ttip agenda.

Chris Carson definitely not
A gentleman and a scholar.
Trump can never deliver a commencement speech as sophisticated and engaging as this.
Hope Ocean I don’t think this man ever has a speech prepared it’s amazing
He is very reminiscent of a guy from Germany a ways back.
He’s a smooth talking devil, he is.....
Trump can never destroy lives of innocent Yazidi girls like Barrack Hussain Obama did.
Political views aside, I can't believe I watched the complete speech. Liked it as much as the grads.
