Life Inside the White House: Obama Staffers Reflect
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 05. 2013
- From "The West Wing" to "House of Cards," TV shows and movies have long attempted to take us inside the White House. But what's life really like working inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? We'll go behind the scenes with former members of the Obama administration as they give us their inside take on the culture, intrigue, and routines of the world's most famous workplace. The panelists are Jon Favreau, former director of speechwriting for President Obama; Katie McCormick Lelyveld, former press secretary for First Lady Michelle Obama; Chris Lu, Cabinet secretary and former assistant to the President; Elizabeth Jarvis Shean, former White House research director; and Kenneth Walsh (moderator), chief White House correspondent, U.S. News and World Report, and author of "Prisoners of the White House."

Pragmatism, intellect, communication, common purpose, service..policy, advisory- driven, possibilities..traits that are sorely missed.. replaced by something that is quite alarming.
The lack thereof is exquisitely painful. Shocking beyond what I can fathom on a daily basis. I've recently seen a graph of the horrors on a weekly basis. I'm in awe there is still a vision of how beautiful America can be~
Lynette, your observations are beautifully articulated. It's SO painful to watch this from this advantage point. Every topic covered here is a sharp slap. Imagine ANY, ANY of this being said in re Trump, Trump's staff, Trump's cabinet or Mrs Trump and the Trump family. If we ever needed visuals of how far we've gone off the rails, here they are. I'm SO homesick!
@@bookbwitched466 Thanks, Gayle..take care and stay tuned..
alarming? it was replaced by a circus from hell
@@a.w.3438 We're now in the period after Trump's resounding election loss. Now it's a three ring circus from hell from a bad Fellini movie.
Love how it was mentioned that honesty is vital in their communications
Bravo President Obama and all his staffs. They are respectful and appreciated by their Boss President Obama. They are so proud to be in the great intellectual team under President Obama.
Well done! I am better off having watched this video. The relationship with the president and staffs can be summed up "Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are"
always believed that in Obama's first address to the nation he was dealing with more serious issues than was publically known.
I Love the fact that President Obama has given so Many Very Young people a chance to serve. I'm absolutely Sure this is one of the factors that assists our President to remain in tuned to the continuing and evolving pulse of the Country verses having the same stale attitude of Many of those serving multiple years in the U.S. Senate and Congress.
What an amazing video!!!! As a Canadian, I am SO IMPRESSED by you all.President Obama is my all-time favourite U.S.A.President!!!!! Also. Jon, I really like watching you on "Crooked Media"---keep up your GREAT WORK!!!!!!!
It was
an honor to listen to these people's experiences!!
I really enjoyed this, thank you for posting.
Listening to this team of educated, structured, relatable professionals share their experience, I couldn’t help imagining what this session would look like were it held with their respective counterparts in October 2020.
Oh My!
Love this! So interesting... thanks for uploading x
Really eye opening. Great ppl xx
I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you.
Wow I love this spotlight on the Obama Staffers reflection korero ... listened with intent to this young teams behind the scenes work life experiences inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Chicago University Thank you xo
What a difference btween Obama's white house team and the current one....what a difference!
Yeah. These guys are amateurs compared to President Trump's team.
Well...perhaps we haven't seen/heard from the more earnest "in the shadows" WH staffers under Trump. We do know that there's been a large % of turnover....lots of more (apparent) drama....at least publicly. Curious to know how much Trump and his family might have known/learned names of their staffers, compared to the Obamas. This video came out a few months after Obama's successful re-election. Seems to me that the Obama (young) staffers compare favorably to the Clinton staffers....more balanced...less (strong) partisan opinion holding.
Yeah Obama's staff were half gays! And that's the damn truth!
@@MrAitraining hahaha theyve all been fired now
@@jarrellneriahshamah5394
You have something against gay people having human rights ?
I know some of u are going to be mad about something u make up but I will say I will miss him being president and who ever he supports in 2016 I will vote for because I trust his judgment
When grownups were in the Whitehouse
Even if they were 25!
Awesome....
Jon favreau @ 41:30... this sums up everything that what Obama is.... thank you for your service
Really loved this. Thanks for posting
I so respect obama & his team & what they had to accomplish during the early years & later throughout his years in the w h.
What an intelligent, compassionate group of people. We need them now!
wow, that was a kind of sophisticated, well elaborated, constructive criticism
*R-E-S-P-E-C-T* that's how these former WH staffs have to their former boss.
I love all of these former White House staffers. From what I've heard, they're absolutely brilliant. I must say I particularly loved hearing from Katie, she had such a compassionate and also logical perspective on everything.
Can you please pull this panel again together since the election 2020? Would love to see what this panelists think about how things have gone post- Obama. Thanks for your consideration.
Watch Crooked Media here on CZcams.
I think the Obama’s had a lot to to do with setting the tone and example in the Whitehouse
Too bad that tone was thrown out when the con artist moved in!
@@deedeemann8417 You made a perfectly reasonable, mild comment. Then Jim C attacks you with a disgusting comment. Goes to show you how rude and hatefull most Trump supporters are. They get their behaviour by mimicking Trump.
Bizarre, right? So much anger, venom, violence bursting into the comparatively mild comments...IMO, trolls seem to be raging regardless of the tone of the commenters. Perhaps this, too, is a tell.
It’s called Integrity. That’s how decent human beings behave..
Here we are, years after this was posted, looking for change...
Great conversation. Thank you.
The oil just kept coming out. Hilarious.
It aint the peoples house no more! Jeez trump called it a dump! Damm then trump turned it into a sewer.
When grownups were in the Whitehouse c
Exactly, now is field up with bunch of crazy lying pathetic adults .
Dropping more bombs than anyone in history while bailing out the bankers who put them in the Whitehouse, from a disaster they lobbied to happen.
Illiterate plebes are why we can't have nice things. Get some sort of capacity for critical thought you identity politic sycophants.
it's so cute the way they were all upset because they got their fact checking wrong on who invented the car first. The current whitehouse checks speeches to ensure there are no facts.
This is all Bull. Where are all the ex-staffers writing books about what a shxxshow it was? Oh wait. That's the current president's staffers. Oooops.
Young brilliant decent people! Sooo love them!
I miss Obama!
Am I the only who has never seen the west wing?
No. I haven't
Nope... But I will now, if there are reruns out there
The West Wing is the best TV show ever produced.
The woman in the white stripped shirt reminds me of Sauls (better call Saul) girlfriend. Especially her voice octave. Very relaxing.
Can you imagine Trump reading letters from citizens and then writing back to them like Obama did! Like chalk and cheese. Everyone misses Obama
Great people
I doubt if we'll see something like this for this presidency. I bet there'd be a lot of looong awkward pauses
What in the hell is Trump doing? he can't handle this damn Pandemic.
The good old days. 😍😍😍😍
The jokes in the beginning were funny. But not all of the jokes when it sounded and appeared kind of personal.
And as for the reality of the work environment, and considering the circumstances surrounding the goals, it is completely understandable. Plus, I bet the separation of a few made them work better and accomplish more work that needed to be done. Real people. Real work environment.
These are young people got morals and respect,they are intelligent love them thank you all.
#ThisOldHouse update the White House next season .. 2020 for the new president 💙
💪💪💪👏👏👏
Is Favreau the writer that came up with “ if you like your doctor you can keep him”.
Nick mason said he doesn't recommend it

Love hi chi
Roger wasnt said go wherever with it
with small people some slip
Bad diagnosis 24 years ago
wow what about giving people more independence to solve thier own problems
Hi
I was taught from a young age to treat everyone equally. Nobody deserves to be handed disadvantages nor advantages, based on race color, creed or gender. I have always live my life this way proudly as an American.(45 years). What. I hear to much, especially in this discussion. Is that certain groups of people should be given opportunity just because they are perceived to disadvantaged... This type of prejudice is no different then then the they claim to be fighting against. Politically correct means that all people regardless of race color gender be treated with equal respect and opportunity
Nope. Certain people who have been disadvantaged deserve a fair opportunity now. Duh,
I don't think we watch the same video, certainly people who are disadvantage should get help, but to not bring up issues, WHY!
Jimmy page said it was extortion
these are kids?
ohmusicsweetmusic Compared to Mitch Mc... & Donald... yes they are!
Yes. But the best of the best. Something Rtump never had.
Invite staff of the ex president Trump next year pls.
That will be VERY different!
Please make me feel like the way I never feel in my life before , if you can say the truth that real and be real in the world that we love for 5,000 years ago like what they said.. are u sure that human will don't have to deal with chrytalmath or aderal for real? Seriously ?
Its not enki
I am not upgrade yet, but you guy all upgrade way so many versions . That way I can do only tweet . I don't have the phone ... it broke.
What about my eyes
Want my phones
That's how Obama's very progressive and current campaign vs dinosaurs
??
The Chinese people used to teach their kids that , if one person can UNDERSTAND EXACTLY JUST ONE REASON BY HEART , IT MEANS THAT person can answer another 100 problems for sure . Is it true that Chinese people said like that or it is not true?
Obama deeply cared about America, and he showed that by deeply caring and respecting his staff. What stark contrast with Trump firing and insulting so many staff. I am glad that Americans summarily fired Trump too.
But it is not white or wise enough , but it is real .
Because I am the Asian alien who willing to give love , ready for everything , kindness , it is all in my heart , and in my hand , I am waiting for the real real real real just one human that can say the truth , I mean truth that can not kill anyone , but it hurts , can I meet that person , or maybe you can send the kid. Come to meet and greet us . That would be nice. And kind from you .
LETS NOT FORGET THESES WERE PEOPLE WHO WERE ENSLAVED WHO BUILT THESE TINY SMALL SPACES PLEASE LETS NOT FORGER THAT THEY WERE HUMANS NOT MACHINES
Like aliens?
I love Illinois
If you watch nothing but cable news, you end up like Trump.
Cute!
He had made a Christmas cake of white house in dark chocolate. He is really not normal to me.
Voranart Sirisubsoontorn...abnormal people like you.... cannot see normality😂😂😂😂
Im not trying to act
Its my hidden clown act
I don't think I want to play as TONG FANG PU PAI , the warrior of the east who never surrender. I insist 100 times.
I know what human , thanks and appreciate about that ... :) I know ... the end of this story how it looks like .. that why I am confident to say in the way the a bit too hard and disrespect , I have a huge guilt of that.
Again
Dont believe me
incompetence doesn't even begin to describe this mod squad
dennoose what would you know about it?
dennoose these people are more competent than most people would be including you based on that dumb statement. You wouldnt last a day in the white house. These people serve their country with honor and intelligence you will never know. Dont be a hator all ur life.
Dont worry i broke up with Morgan
Or BS?
I didn’t vote for the former President Obama, because I never heard him before and also he looked very handsome, but also looked extremely young and I guess he might have less experiences to be the President at the time and I voted Gov. Romney. I don’t agree with the former President Obama’s some policies which divided us by races, genders and between the rich and poor and I believe he may regret that too. Divide Americans would rather unite Americans as one nation under one America’s principles and future. However, President Obama’s Presidency by his own efforts and our country America’s equality of opportunities principles will make Black Americans to be proud of America’s greatness always as well as to be proud of to be Americans to enjoy equality of opportunities principles. Only America’s greatness will be able for Americans of all to be able to truly enjoy freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of opportunities for all races, genders and between the rich and poor altogether. However, I believe that the former President Obama also loves our country America and likes to see America great also by his learning experiences from mistakes and do better quickly too. No one can be perfect and no one can never make any mistakes, but to learn more to understand more and do better things quickly together. However, their two daughters were very cute girls at the time. Let’s forgive each other this time and unite together again by our generosity forgiveness and kindness nature toward each other’s service and mistakes as our own kindness and decency and unite together again by getting things done quickly together again and govern by our country America’s own established Foundation and Constitution afterward together again. We are all Americans and humans and make our country America great together again by our efforts, principles and decency altogether.
Former President Obama did not divide anyone. The bought off/sold out GOP is the toxin.
@@angelabluebird609 yes Pres.Ibama s.the greatest leader its all u haters n jealuosepple n ignorant pple who just bieng paid to ruin his reputation those r d one dnt care about America .u educate urself.
@@triningolayan3045 You need to re-read my post. I am not saying anything negative about President Obama.

Why they are so thirsty?
Well I'm thirsty for Jon Favreau
I let you be the one who tell me but you make sure That , after everything that going on in everyone mind , we have to have the spirit of the big girl . We are gonna be best friend or the best human civilization 2017 . It is just a game of life . But it is the good lesson for the one after this year. We vaccine the kid not to play with the drug. So we save their best time of their life to do the better thing in their society and their family.

Let me feel this moment , till you open the gate for my golden castle . I am not the bad one like what you try to push me and take the blame as my own every single one of you life living in this country in the wrong understanding the truth from the twisted of the people who rule the people. Can you believe that you didn't focus and look at the fact ( the fact that have been part of your journey as a victim as me . Are you proud of you to handle and accept and see these group of people get like what you faced before. This is not the good standard and sanitary school . Over here I I don't how long , how many years more that we have to living with fear from the citizen or international people who love to make money , make movies and don't care of the right of the private right of being human , we are human , you want to name us as a monkey for your people to understand the same group of us, but we don't take the name with me, I we leave it with you right the place you say.
Hold on , please I didn't start it yet... for shake the people the whole world ... I will do whatever you want me to do , I totally help you hundred percent , with. Don't need anything return at all. I will be that person , so , you would take the guilt.
If you want to sell the product. To customers , have you ever see the sell representative the force and push first. Push twice , harder until the poor customer who I are real addicted with the drug we used , which we didn't product from our factory , and the quality control of it , very poor I can say , but we can't say. Or complain about it , because we are standing in the unfairness and non equal human right , we have to be part of the experiment of the. Fake scienctist or professor Michio Kaku.the guy he rules the world for real . If I can survive and get through the whole worse situation back inside this country for real . But I never hope it in my life since I become illegal person in this country . Don't look only my life , I am just one , but the whole set of the people who came before me , they had that nightmare , and they have so much big heart to forgive , and let it go, I said I do too, I don't need to keep doing again forever , if u all are agree to adjust a bit for having the beautiful mind for everybody.
There is no where in South Africa where there is no blackberry service. She lied through her teeth.
I"m not going to listen again, but she didn't say the country of South Africa. She mentioned someplace on the continent of Africa. Besides why argue a point like that? There are places all over the world where there's no service because of topography etc.
During Obama presidency, democrats lost nearly 1,200 seats at the national and state level. Does it add up to successful presidency?
Go vote for your imbecile with your sarcasim
@@valchris11 Honey - I'm no party preference voter. I vote without bias and in 2016 I actually voted for Hilary since I did not want to vote for Trump. Hilary won California by 3 Million votes, but since US electoral system favors small states, she ultimately lost by 75,000 in three Rust Belt states that traditionally voted for democratic candidates - Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. She lost election because she did not have a good Rust Belt strategy and she was not able to handle stress of the electoral process.
California Girl Yes!
@@CaliforniaGirl-qk5kq ..They didnt listen to President Obama speech....
For the future we will have technology jobs....what or when will they listen....
They can fool themselves and listen to fakers and even vote them in ...thats what they did n see what happened.
No, he only lost #Alabama and #Indiana which were known to be red states. He lost because those states have high expectations
