You so right there I live in Auckland Central when Obama arrived there were cops everywhere I loved it it was the same when we had the Apac simmit over here in 1995 bill Clinton was president then Jenny Shipley was prime minister of new Zealand then I recorded everything dates times and year thats the same with Obama they both stayed at the hotel across the road from the police station last year 2018 we had the president from the Philippines visiting New Zealand if you have a look on line you'll see kids take a photo of him in Queen Street and president trump will be here in Auckland new Zealand in 2021 for the Apac Summit meeting if he is still president then
You definitely got that right back in the 1970s and the 1980s Americans always said we will never have a black man as our President and 39 years later they got one but it will be alsome if they ever get another one in the future
C Gall - I am an American citizen who loves Obama. I am currently moving to Chapala, Jalisco, to spend the remainder of my life there, away from the orange demagogue and many blinded people who support walls instead of breaking them down. Viva México :o) Estoy en el proceso de mudarme a Chapala, Jalisco, por el resto teórico de mi vida, lejos del demagogo en la Casa Naranja. Buenos suerte, amiga o amigo :o)
@@myninjamyninja375 true but don't forget he was ordered by a much higher elite s this boss .can't you people see pass them leaders. There boss. Look for him
Oh doesn't he look proud, like hes one of us. Many celebrities have come, and they looked scared. This man, soaked it all it. Thank you President Barak Obama!
Obama was given the respect he deserves as a former president. Bush and Trump would also receive the same treatment if they also came here. Its about manners and giving due respect.
Whether you liked him or not he was always pretty cool and he always spoke and carried himself in a dignified manner. For me its about mannerisms and this guy has it. All that other stuff is up to you.
As a kid i hated waiting through the welcoming onto marae (except the womens part they stole my heart everytime ) but now im older i recognise that its a privilege to experience even 1 of them
Yes and thats the prime minister Jacinda with her husband singing to him. Well maybe not the hubby as he looks lost but whatever that is How great tho art
When the British came it took long time to get Māori to convert. Church songs was one way Māori could connect as we understood the presence of gods and also believed singing through voice can communicate with gods and spirits. Overtime Christianity took over Māori gods though. But you hear some of old Māori songs originate from the early Christian/Catholic tradition.
Us pacific islanders we are savages! We will welcome you with reluctance but once we've accepted you only then will you see the softness of our hearts.
Hey keyboard warrior! type all you can it wouldn't change a damn thing. yesterday he was at NZ, today, he came to visit us in Australia. And, you can bet it, that we welcomed our Hero here. Even our PM went to greet him in his hotel before meeting him at the dinner where he was to present a speech. keep whining, while President Obama (according to PM Turnbull) keeps winning. Oh, how I wish you could see the standing ovation from people at the opera house earlier today. Peace from the MOST HIGH God, be with him and his family forever. Can i get an Amen, guys?
@@kiwibird8441 no they weren't. NZ wasn't converted to Christianity, maybe somewhere but definitely not the whole country and definitely not the same extent as Fijians, togans, and Samoans. NZ still has its traditional beliefs and they are more respected than stupied Jesus
The one of many Americans that were based in New Zealand to help defend New Zealand against the Japanese in World War 2 was also a good guy. Without him (he belonged by the way to colonisation) maoris would not be able to celebrate their many traditions. They would be too busy working in the rice fields.
nz trucker I am a Kiwi too, I to thought Obama may be good but I have been shocked just how Obama is a sheep in wolfs clothing, look above on my comment on search sights.
This is just stupid. As a Maori even i believe this is outdated and just ridiculous. If the government is going to make us Maori people do a stupid outdated Maori performance to make New Zealand look more "cultural". I want the government to make white kiwi people do traditional Scottish dancing and ballet to greet incoming visitors too. Stupid.

Yes , I thought that was strange , not a word out of him after visiting Antarctica. Wonder why all the top leaders are suddenly visiting their ??? Anyone any idea's or info , about this ? Something is going on. There is always something going on , they do not just visit any place for no reason, like Obama visiting NZ. Kerry seems as though he is different some how. Perhaps they use mind control on them. De-programme you puppets. Lets use main stream media , fake news video , as an anti globalism communication hub. They hate it ! Works against them. Remember we are all part of the resistance , against the NWO control and enslavement to survive only.All bar the 35 or so , elites that have more wealth than , well over half the planet now , a concentration unheard of in human history. A small middle class and a the biggest lower class , in history now ! Waiting to see a standard Globalist nonsense comment on this, in response.Lets see if it appears.
Coolest president in history period..

greatest President with respect but not best he was just average
Eh, he was okay.
when nations can welcome other nations then maybe we can have peace world wide.
Beautiful! I bet Obama quietly is learning this powhiri to be part of his future exercise regiment.
Only if pakeha will stop trampling on indigenous rights maybe we can.
The fact he kept eye contact while picking up his taonga 👍👌
Thank you. What an honor to see former President Ohama welcomed by a country so uniquely its own :o)

It's good to have a unique culture to be proud of
I’m pretty sure that us New Zealand’s
Have the most respectful culture in many ways
The marae is a place of learning and culture. I love to see it.
Donald trump saw this he'd call his body gaurds
He'd be looking for the nearest bunker....
Yes lol
no, he would call everyone beautiful.
Trump wouldn’t get a powhiri
@@bronteking7519 that’s the truth...so sad
Thank you for welcoming our former president with honor.
bloody hell even the Kiwi PM is in on the action...so wish our gvt was as welcoming
So beautiful!
I don't understand a word, but it speak to my heart.

So beautiful and touching, I didn't understand a word but I felt it. #Respect
When your people have briefed you well on another cultures protocol. ❤️
Our people feel the fire in his eyes very quiet waiata

Amazing!!! Obama still being treated as if he were still the sitting president of the United States...awesome!
Because the clown you elected acts like a spoilt child and noone takes the kid seriously.

Ordinary Human All faked, he is a clever little trick.
Really? Mannerisms? You'd let him have all this power to pretty much control the world based on how cool he acts? This man is no saint at all
he invaded seven countries the middle east
God's amazing Grace! Keep him there! Amen
It was an honor to have president Obama Visit our country and we as a country Respect him.
When was this? I absolutely love it.
Haka
who is that standing next to Obama on the right (his left) ? at the very beginning
As a kid i hated waiting through the welcoming onto marae (except the womens part they stole my heart everytime ) but now im older i recognise that its a privilege to experience even 1 of them
are they singing "how great thou art" in their native tongue?
t. l. duncan :They sure are..
Yep, how great thou art in te reo maori is whakairia mai.

Does anyone have any idea of what they are chanting?
babalina Number of prayers, hymns and Haka.
They’re welcoming him in maori (New Zealand language)
Quite a small powhiri for Barack. Would’ve thought they would have brought up a big group.

For all y’all people asking if it’s “how great thou art” it is😁😁
I can’t wait for Trump to visit NZ, he would shit a brick at this type of welcome. 💕from UK.
Are you kidding ?! He would have his bodyguards beside him at all times, then would hide in a bunker.
Trump has visited NZ many times. He owns a few things here i think and has had a traditional welcoming too.
my right ear enjoyed that

Because it is.
Maori sing many songs that are European Songs.. :) and many American western songs too..

Kiaora Obama welcom e to Aotearoa long white cloud ☁️ 🌿🍁🍃🍂
I LOVE THIS!!!!
Didn't even flinch !
Shows his character is strong
Best President ever in my life time
It speaks volumes that Hilary didnt pick up the branch when she was greeted but President Obama did.
Women are not permitted to do so, it is a males responsibility to pick up the Koha in behalf of women
Best American we ever had to visit.

He is from Hawaii. He is use to it 👍
The Maori welcome, a way to get any world leader to kneel 😂 very nice though
@Dfghg Vbhhn 🤣
All my respect to Powiri culture and President Obama
Yeya even Aunty Cindy is in there
What a beautiful moment for all of humanity. Thank you Obama for being able to go there with these lovely people.
have a fun day in aotearoa obama
Just Noticed Jacinda
Oosh ... you should be proud to be accepted
Barack Obama is the best
❤
Cool President 👍
How great thou art!? Wow!

WHo are the people standing with him?
He will have presidential bodyguards for the rest of his life
what these foreign men dont realise is that these maori woman are protected by very dangerously powerful maori men
Stop hyping yourself up

I'm still gutted he didn't visit NZ while he was in office
Wouldve been too busy
WOAH THE FUCK!? WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!?
Closest anyone has gotten to swing a weapon of war at a U.S presidant. Mean Maori Mean.
Na bro hes only vice presidant like you said-
MaK-_ _-Deri too bad that warrior didn't end him. Would've done America a big favour
Better luck next time...swing harder and closer....much ,much closer!

Off all the beautiful Maeae around the country we welcome the most powerful man of that time in a tent really?
It's painful to watch the camera man focusing on the president alone.
Reka te Mana

It sounds like they are singing How Great Thou Art, just not in english.
Keith Parker they are, in Te Reo, the Maori language, an official language of New Zealand.
