Mr. Obama, how is that our government can scrape up $7B dollars for a foreign war yet we cannot find the money to deal with the homeless issue? How are we finding Billions of dollars for other countries yet we cannot end hunger in America? Please help me to understand. Thank you.

Is not what he says, is what he does. Not words but deeds. Magic trickster.

Billions for war, But when I went to LA, SFO, NYC, Austin Homeless places, I felt crying. Where are we going as Humanity. Obama is great speaker, But his actions are very limited compare to his speech. I have learnt in childhood that we need to fix our home first before waging war to fix other countries, which should not happen in first place.

The greatest spin doctor of all time....

[AlexandraWatson-fs]

why isn't universal health care ever included in these conversations. We can send billions overseas but our tax dollars can't be spent on insuring the health of our citizens. Our goverment seems to be okay with thousands of family going bankrupt over medical bills!!!

The guy is part of thec same political class that had promoted and prosecuted regime changes and military coups around the planet, shedding rivers of blood and causing untold misery throughout Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and South East Asia, and Eurasia.

[SLMbnz]

He was and he is a great story teller thats it nothing more.

[KannaBlissLLC]

I don't trust nothing this man says. He is not for the people as I used to think but for the party!

What democracy do we have if our President doesn't represent our voices

[venomouskennedy]

This guy says a lot of words without saying much

[cristinaordeig]

The world had so much HOPE ON YOU WHEN YOU WERE PRESIDENT AND YOU DECEIT ALL OF US AND THE WORLD. GOOD SPEACH ( GREAT COMMUNICATOR) AND EMPTY, EMPTY, EMPTY WORDS.

[benjamindemontgomery]

Its Refreshing to hear his voice again. History will most likely pick him as the best President in history.

[bikeandsee]

The whole problem is that Democracy is not democratic enough.

[gregraj]

MSNBC, thank you for posting President Obama's full remarks.

I fully enjoyed his speech and am reminded that intelligent and moral people will steer humanity away from the edge of the cliff that unethical and inhumane policies of various nations have been driving the world toward and which have been threatening our survival. 🙏🏻

[rkm]

I don't think he believes half of what he says...just saying.

[PandaGuzheng]

This guy received noble peace prize while waging 2 wars simultaneously. Let that sink in.

[givemethechai]

I am at a loss what does this common con know about morality?

[Fghtforever]

Every time things get scary they pull out Obama for story time to put us back to sleep

[davidcrawley]

Why didn’t he do all things he says when he had the opportunity to do them? 🤔
