A respectful and eloquent interview by this man I would buy his book.... This is the side of Obama the media never gave enough light to, instead they propagated a very damaging and divisive narrative which by default spawned the living nightmare called Trump!

It's like shutting the barn door after the horse has bolted.... Trump would never be as esteemed and intelligent and intellectual, witty and respectful and respected as Obama- Not in a million years!

In politics you judge a man on how he is perceived and treated abroad and Obama was always treated with respect and dignity on all foreign trips people came out to see and hear him speak not out of curiosity but because of admiration and respect- On the other hand this clown in the White House would get people flocking to see him but as an oddity to marvel and laugh at- I could hear the strains of the song- send in the
