In six months, or a year, we're really going to miss this guy

[kenhill]

OMG I am going to cry now. The difference, the memory of civilisation and intellectual refinement and veracity is toooo much.

[iamtherealzombie]

Like him or hate him, this is what a leader sounds like... Careful, deliberate speech.

[eniorj.jimenez]

I am conservative, so when it comes to policy, there are pronounced disagreements. But no one can ever doubt his intellect: it exudes him entirely. I respect that & I think deep down, a lot of the vitriol thrown his way comes from a place of envy.

[sandy-mrgj]

Barack = the epitome of dignity and class. We'll never hear the newest President using words like: panacea, indisputable, prominently, plausible and intricacies as Obama did because the English language is not his friend.

[toms]

Damn I miss this man. Calm. Deliberative. Intellectual. Dignified. Thank you Obama for doing your best to instill a bit of civility and reason in politics.

[ajsim]

This is just an astounding interview for so many reasons. Maher asks some great questions. Obama has a sense of humour. Obama gives some thoughtful answers. And in the end, even though they have their differences, there is a level of respect and comradery between them, like strangers with different views, but who both know that they're in this thing together.

[tomnyevans]

I NEED TO WATCH THIS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK TO KEEP MYSELF SANE

[EcoEarthNut]

Thank you president Obama! You will be missed after you leave office...

[karenkossie-chernyshevphd]

President Obama is so gracious, thoughtful, intelligent, confident, and humble. It has been great having him serve as POTUS for eight years. He and Michelle will be missed. I look forward to seeing how they will spend their time post-White House.

[ricardocura]

Back when a President actually answered questions and not just walk out.

[jasonolson]

I'm a poor man who works hard as a dishwasher everyday and pay my bills each month and Obama care helped me get health insurance I needed now I have glasses and It didn't cost alot of money and I get me teeth clean and my meds without paying alot of money. All thanks to Obama.

[Xervello]

This is one of the best interviews with President Obama I've seen. Not only Bill's questions, but President Obama's candid answers. I didn't hear any b.s. Sure, I'm biased for him, but I didn't really hear any politics in his answers. I don't agree with all he said, but it sounds like a man doing the best he can with what he has. Which is his presidency in a nutshell.

[finucanetk]

I am in awe watching two men of intellectual talk. It is a very humbling feeling. Had it not been for the AHCA my late husband and I would have been stuck with hospital bills in NC til today. Before we moved here to AZ in 2019. We had paid off what we paid from out of pocket which was less than $4, 000.00.

[uncleofficial]

oh we are going to miss this guy, seriously hard for me to watch how some people dont underestand how much this man has done for the country, and how much for the rest of the world .

[RyanWehr]

holy shit, he really did it. he got the president to sit with him

[cynthiaquigley]

Can you imagine Trump having a conversation like this?? Obama is thinking on his feet with informed, intelligent answers. That Trump was even considered a viable option to fill this mans shoes is a joke and flat out embarrassing.

[JavierArveloCruzSantana]

What a calm, composed, and completely professional interview.

Loved it. It showed a steady-handed president on his way out but not off his handle and a comedian in his lane actually letting his subject speak and keeping his jokes at bay.

This is one of the best interviews ever.

Props to both.

[ktom]

Never seen Bill so quiet when interviewing someone.

[travisbickle]

I don't care what anyone says I like this man, let's remember what he got stuck with in the first place. Soon enough you folks who hate the man will find yourself thinking he wasn't so bad. I think he did the best he could, and he actually gives a damn.. You have a fan here Mr. President, always will be..
