Americans sure took orange is the new black to a whole new level

[shounshounn]

Can't believe this is 14 years ago

[jehanr]

I just remembered that politicians can have charisma.

[larrylindgren]

You can see why he won. A great speaker. With a sense of humor. Very smooth. Whether he is or not he portrays like he's a normal everyday guy.

[JohnSmith-jjjl]

When you miss your ex because your current relationship is toxic.

Update:
Ok so America is leaving her boyfriend for an older guy right now. Let's see if she can make him leave her apartement without him doing too much damage.

[ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

This was filmed 14 years ago. And now, Obama is 37 years older while Conan got four years younger.
Time is weird, man...

[scferro]

"President Bush likes giving people nicknames."

Oh, just you wait Conan. Just you wait.

[FOURFIDE]

Yo let’s be real, despite your political views this man is the smoothest and coolest president we’ve ever been lucky enough to have.

[tigglesbruh]

Hearing “Senator Obama” is really weird...

[ultracellez]

The quality of this video is unreal for 2006. Makes me feel like this is our present and life is good again :(

[ezzyMunero]

Watching this in 2020 is like seeing a cgi face of young obama

[iCrackr]

This guy would make a great president, he should run twice

[Maynard]

"My fellow Obamas" was a great impromptu line.
Barack got comedy chops.

[kevina]

This was 14 years ago..wow. They seemed so happy then.

[gsixuwlj]

Man, he was destined to be president because of that natural charisma alone

[timrohan]

The “Bama-Rock” (bomb Iraq) bit went over EVERYONE’s head (including Conan)

[gigihrahmatikacahyo]

“You just throw random words at people at certain times: corndogs, onions. blueberry..” Fast forward to 14 years later: “Person, woman, man, camera, TV”

[themripley]

The shade of releasing this on Donnie's birthday.

Am I the only one that thinks this video Quality is so great for 2006 !!

[BIackCadillac]

Man the presidency aged him like 40 years.
