I asked President Obama if he's DEPRESSED!?

Hasan Minhaj asks President Obama what we’re all wondering: does he get depressed? When it’s 2 AM, and POTUS is in bed, does he doom-scroll on his phone? Hasan needs to hear from the most hopeful president in American history and have an entertaining but honest conversation about this generation’s hopelessness.

God I forgot how much I missed having a president that could form coherent thoughts and sentences for more than 20 seconds. It's been two presidents since we had that

Coming here after the presidential debate.... I miss him 😢

[Pandacuisine]

When I hear this man speak I want to vote and pay taxes. What a weird involuntary response.

[ashleyhall]

I actually felt better after listening to him talk about how the trajectory of humanity has always been moving slowly toward acceptance even despite major setbacks. It's true even if things right now seem grim.

[heymambo]

I am not American but this is the only US President who was smart, educated, eloquent, he has his heart in the right place and has empathy to the troubles of all people and not only the privileged ones.

Hasan managing to stay a tough and critical interviewer while also absolutely fan boying is kinda impressive

[Wolfspaule]

That is what charisma looks like. No skin, no yelling, no threatning, no judging other to feel better about oneself.

Love Hasan Minhaj, but frankly I love Obama the way he is. His ability to regulate his emotions is phenomenal. It's part of why he's so extraordinary. I would much rather have somebody who can see the light when everybody else is in darkness.

[joshuahartley]

He actually stays calm when asked tough questions unlike you know who😂

[tooktooknee]

Never tired of listening to Obama talk. Such a great public speaker.

Hasan's bright, shiny eyes when Obama says 'I'm really proud of you', and then his nervous gulp when he asks Obama for feedback about his body of work. After giving Obama so much confident and candid feedback during the interview, you can see how much he really admires him. It's so great to see Obama reciprocate that respect by telling him he's doing great and should aim even higher. Beautiful interview.

[Taperia]

OMG So good to hear and see this “Class Act “””””
So dearly missed 😢

I am from the uk, I thought this man Barack Obama is a truly inspirational man. I have been very taken with interviews I have watched with his wife Michelle Obama. So much so that I have two of her books which will help me look forward to the winter months and the dark early nights. I am equally impressed with this interview here today. What a fascinating interesting inspirational couple and family. They are both calm, concise, focused and each one consider's their answers in a quiet easy to understand and a laid back way. This is a fascinating brillant blog and interview. We can all learn so much about life, how we cope with its challenges by listening to inspirational speakers. Good job.

I think he's honestly just a nerd and really put together emotionally. He can handle a lot of situations without panicking. He's just a chill guy. He doesn't need to pop off because he's passionate about something. This is why people love him. He's such a fantastic speaker and he's as cool as a cucumber. Easy going and a vibe.

[woobharb]

Seeing Obama speak casually and crack jokes is so wholesome. No matter what you think about Obama as a president, you can’t deny his character is amazing.

[JudyLeeThurber]

Oh...this is what I prayed for this morning. Thank you 😊🙏

[jamiejohnson]

The smile on Hasan's face when Obama said he was proud of him... pure happiness. That was beautiful and made my day. We all need to hear that sometimes. 💖💖

[zagstrug]

"He's a factual liar, but emotionally honest" is the best summary of Trump I've ever heard

[DexyD]

When America's workers have hope, America has hope

[sophspice]

now i indeed have the urge to vote, pursue my education, make good choices and get my life back together so thank you for this interview i guess
