“Don’t Boo, VOTE.” it cannot be said anymore concisely.

[david.lee.may.]

Like him or not, there is no denying that Obama is one of the greatest public speakers we will ever get to witness.

[Moses-cc]

CNN do better. Find a better Title for the speech. This was a speech of hope and about the future of the country, the ideals and values of democracy, not just poking fun of Trump.
That's absolutely disservice to the American people and disservice to the great speech.

[nuudelz]

It’s wild that it’s been 8 years since we heard a US president speak cohesively and with a message, not the rambling of old men

[lesilluminations]

Barack and Michelle were the most dignified couple to inhabit the white house in my lifetime.

[yyyy-uvpo]

He nailed all the important points, as expected.
They can just play this speech in loop for the rest of the campaign, it was perfect.

This warms my heart and makes me miss Barack EVEN MORE. I love this man. I miss this man. It was our great honor to have him at the helm for 8 years.

[TriersTreasures]

His immediate impromptu responses to the crowd is flawless. It’s so smooth it sounds scripted. One of the Best orators of my lifetime. It’s so sweet how in love he and Michelle are with each other. They almost didn’t want to let go of each other’s hand. lol. His delivery is unmatched. Lots of information, conveyed simply without losing the viewers’/crowd’s interest

I’m Registered Republican in Texas here. Great speech President Obama It's sad to see that my party has become a cult of personality. I just can't vote for a candidate that has no respect for the rule of law or democracy. I will be voting for the Democratic Party this year. #HarrisWalz2024

OMG it is so refreshing to hear common sense again and to realize how far away we have drifted from a true leader like President Obama. The electoral college has got to go.

[BumBBell]

I actually teared up listening to his speech, so refreshing to hear a message of hope and positivity and the endless possibilities that America stands for.

[JeanneKeller-tm]

This man is great. This country is blessed to have had him .

[rayk]

And is what a President sounds like people!!!!.... All positive encouragement, and no whining.

[crazycorbinbleux]

‘They don’t call it Obamacare no mo’ LOOL he came in hot with this one

[MasDouc]

Weird title, he didnt "poke fun" he spoke the truth. He so eloquently put into words what majority of us are feeling and thinking. This speech, especially the ladder half, was one of the most powerful speeches ive ever heard and CNN says it's "poking fun" what a way to trivialize it.

[gladyscolon]

That’s my PRESIDENT!
God bless this family!

[mattf]

See the difference between Normal people and Weirdos

[Rudog]

Goddamn, this man could speak.
He can grab your attention and make you hear and understand the message in his words.

[Benbwild]

Finally, some common sense and coherent speech. Tired of all that whining and rambling filled with lies and childish insults.

[Luisa-or]

When Obama speaks people listen. Because he is the b est of tĥe best.
