Where does he get this energy and emotion to keep a great look on his face with everyone everywhere?! No exhaustion, no lethargy, no saturation levels and no pretention to fake it.. 😍😍❤️✌️😙
Now I see how he created a strong economy on which 45 is bragging about. A fantastic role model from which I believe future aspiring presidents will definitely learn. Your legacy will continue to be written for as long as America exits. A Great fan from Africa🙌

The problems we are experiencing now have nothing to do with Trump. The Democrats have done it all (along with some traitor Republicans like McCain and Romney).
I love that President Obama is always respectful of everyone he meets. Calling elderly gents "Sir". Telling people he is pleased to meet them while looking them in the eye. Always buying something, usually food!, but sometimes a trinket for his girls. He is never sleazy or creepy when meeting young girls, women or children. Barack Obama is a gentleman.
He Had Knowledge About Many Subjects! He Knew [HOW TO BE PRESIDENT![ He Talked To People....Was Friendly, Approachable! Didn't Expect You To Give Him A Parade Or Fly Planes Over Head For Him!]
And how the senat republicans, blocked every attempt his administration and him in many plans and laws they made. The contrast with trump could be greater.
@@bebos1262 - Bravo. You've proven that you're a true Trumpturd. One of the uneducated (the stupid) that Trump loves. Big corporate monies to the Dems? Koch, Adelson, Mercer, Murdoch...Sound familiar? All Republicrook donors. Spinning bullshit like spinning cotton candy at the county fair is still spinning bullshit. We're too smart to drink the Kool-Aid but you're not.
You're all idiots, the ones Trump loves to pick on. I voted for Bernie in 2016 and Yang in the primaries. I've been a Democrats since 1999 voted for Gore, Kerry and Obama. Just look at how you all talk, you give Trump the red meat he loves so much. Four years was enough, do you all want four more? Independents and Moderates are going to carry this election. Moderates and independents voted for Trump in 2016, if you continue with this rhetoric your going to drive them into his hands again!
You will never see Trump interacting with children like this! You don't even see him showing his son Barron affection. President Obama a president who spoke with intelligence and never once used profanity in public always conducting himself with dignity and class and showing respect to everyone he met.
I'm so happy these videos are popping up again! I can actually smile seeing how great a President we had who could interact and speak (with eloquence by the way) with folks ALL over the country!
The man has a gift for relating with the people in front of him, and the people who were listening from afar. As a bonus, he always made sense, and pretty much stayed on message, unlike the current occupant of the White House
To think how these people are so into what he's saying and enamored by intelligence and charm. Too think many of these same people voted for Trump is disheartening.
I'm so glad to see that there are non-Americans (like I am) that admire Pres. Obama. He truly is "The People's President", or is it "The World's President"? Keep the love, people! :)
And now the big orange guy moves from White House to golf house back to White House and again to golf house and when down (on a bombshell), holds crazy campaign rallies 😂😂😂😂
Obama was never about crowd size and then looking to brag about it on Twitter. He was there for the people and took the time to listen and appreciate them.
Dixon Adair I would be a two face I can’t tell him what NOT to say lol the beauty of this country is free of speech we see it every day with so many people saying things they shouldn’t, I want positive things I’m trying not to be negative!!! I love this country that’s all I can say!!! Peace and love!!!
This guy was busy the entire week! This is why we can't have him back at the WH. Let him have his much needed break after serving full terms. He has done his job, it's up for the people to carry on and keep moving up.
Notice at 1:22 he calls the older men "sir". That's the leader of the free world showing Respect for his elders. Can you imagine the orange man doing that ?
I really miss this President! Those two ladies in Iowa at their farm location probably voted Obama twice because they felt he was one of them, the way he mingled with regular people even in rural areas was amazing. He wasn’t afraid to going to places he knew wouldn’t vote for him. That’s why Biden lost Iowa, he never did interact with regular folks and I know we had coronavirus but still he could’ve done better. I really respected Obama because he shook hands with his supporters and his enemies. He would go to places like Montana and Idaho and people would welcome him. The buffoon we’ve in the Oval Office will never do that unless they come out and cheer at his racist rallies. What a difference.
You are correct Terry. I would also add that the reason why he can't do any of the small business owner lunches is he isn't knowledgeable enough to speak on ANY of these topics. I can't begin to imagine what it would be like to have a job in which I am completely unqualified for. I spend every day BS-ing and distracting people so that my brainwashed followers don't figure out that I am as dumb and ill suited for my job as everyone else says I am.
Now he is THE MAN! Somebody to call MR PRESIDENT! To who I will address myself with SIR! An amazing speaker! For me the best president ever, even better then John Kennedy who I adminre too!
God I hate to compare, but could you see Trump trailblazing rural middle class Americans like this, and, and getting the love from hard working, fine American citizens? AHHHH, NOPE!!!
Normal, intelligent, flawed but essentially decent and empathetic human being. America went from this to the man who just threatened American citizens with the American military.
Obama was a president who didn't need to read a speech written by someone else. He came out to the people who put him in office. Respect that. Has Trump did ANYTHING like that?!!!
When I watch videos of Obama it just baffles me that we the American people could vote for Donald Trump. He was truly a Statesman and upheld what the Presidency stood for. God Bless you sir.
Imagine a vid like this for trump. “To start the day President Trump rage tweeted at 5am, then had breakfast by himself. Later watched 5 hours of Fox News”.
Did not vote for him but what a difference between the last one that I voted for the first time. President Obama is a great example of how a President represent him self and the country.
Ever since Trump became President I've been binge watching Obama videos.
Jeff Hooker same. Trump will never be as inspiring as Obama
But, just wait, Trump will have similar videos soon. Trump loves kids!!!!
Justin Mevee I assume you're being sarcastic Chump didn't even rise his kids just his wives and maids
Me too. And im not even American.

I miss having a real president.
Bring back America.
This is not a politician,this is a leader. A man of the people
Normal, intelligent, flawed but essentially decent and empathetic human being. America went from this to the man who just threatened American citizens with the American military.
Honestly, I never watched the news back then. Read the local paper some and watched the Sunday news shows.
And, that was enough to keep me informed.
Obama makes one wish a president can have another term. I bet he'd win if he runs again. Just for his humanity and ability to foster good values.
Hands down the best president we had in awhile.
Obama was a president who didn't need to read a speech written by someone else. He came out to the people who put him in office. Respect that. Has Trump did ANYTHING like that?!!!
I can only imagine we will have a President again one day that will capture the heart of our country.

That was awfully nice of Obama to meet with Fox News viewers.

Obama never once thought of himself better than anyone. He was all about equality
Intelligent, caring, witty, social, relatable, funny & humble. Qualities we are truly missing today.
@David Pinegar Obama. You're cool too! 😂
I miss the pride I felt for my country when he was the president.
See how he relates to the school children so easily? It helps that he is a dad to 2 teenage daughters
MISS HIM.....
Always words of encouragements from this man...now we hear words of deceit division...
People still respect him!
Damn I miss this guy.
Did not vote for him but what a difference between the last one that I voted for the first time. President Obama is a great example of how a President represent him self and the country.
That's too funny. Trump loves photo ops so I am surprised he is not doing more of this.
