The comparison between this man and Trump is…beyond comprehension.

[ridgeeee]

Obama! Feels good. Intelligent, charasmatic, and speaks in full sentences. No whining, no schoolyard name calling, and no childish social media rants. Proud to have been a citizen under his leadership.

[lindamaloney]

Yes, I totally agree! " NOBODY is above the law!"

[ameswho]

It's so hard to believe how far we've fallen. Hearing Obama complete sentences that actually make sense is such a treat and relief for all of the senses.

From my home in Norway, I've been following the insanity in American politics regularly since 2015. It's almost weird listening to Obama, who is intelligent, well informed and eloquent.

[jbone]

It's crazy whenever I listen to him speak I immediately think about the 2010's

[frankhoffman]

At its foundation, our country needs to return to civics and the history of America's founding.. We must once again start inspiring our youngest students with the grand principles we began with. We are given reminders that we cannot be complacent about our democratic experiment. We are challenged again in this age to pay attention, to vote, to stand firm against tyranny.

What a Stark difference. The assured educated voice of Obama as opposed to the finger nails on a chalk board voice of Trump

[Silvaish]

That’s my prez. It’s so refreshing to see a really intelligent man, a great statesman to speak the truth!

[Properwraps]

Never say "the court of law" if judges can be bought.

[charleskilibo]

It is almost mystical how America can have high class and deep crass at the highest level of leadership - one following the other.

[KatVB]

Great interview. Sane, intelligent, factual, & hopeful. If I could have voted for him for a 3rd term, I (and millions of others) would have. ❤️🇺🇸🗳️

[codswallop]

My god, one sentence from this man and he makes more sense than an hour from Trump

[maicalji]

Hi sir wat is important process in the Malaysia cantery diling in the MH 370 air

[prophetba]

What a class act. I miss President Obama, and Mrs. Obama...💙💙💙🇺🇲🇺🇲💯

[thisisus.]

One forgets how refreshing it is to listen to a political grown up in the room, speaking truth, no hyperbole.

[tritone]

A guy who actually thinks about a question and answers coherently. It‘s a rare breed these days.

[miadavis]

Oh my gosh they couldn't have them inthe same room? I jate the holgram tech.

[rebeccalyle]

This is what a President should be like. He is very intelligent, cares for the people, and you would never hear him talk anyone down. Love Obama ❤

What's with Obama? I'm not American, but every time I hear this man speak, I'm always left inspired.
