    Me watching this in 2021 and Obama talking about pandemics💀✋🏽
  • @thomasscoot904
    Mr Obama is such a well spoken man.. i sure miss his eloquence and knowledge
  • @kevgits
    Just a few questions with thoroughly comprehensive answers. I'm watching this in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic and the accuracy of his recommendations is astounding.
  • @Hunter007NY
    I love this president. He thinks before he talks. Not like other who doesn't know what are they taking about, neither the difference of would and wouldn't.
  • @Mara-Selenkei
    he is consistent and concise when answering questions. He is a living change of the modern world. a dynamite response to questions asked.
  • It is a rare gift to be a good speaker and a good writer that articulates your point intelligently! So far I can stay all day an watch a Barack Obama and a Trevor Noah speech! They hold you spellbound!
  • He speaks with clarity, knowledge and facilitate the politics of bipartisanship, respect and tolerance.
  • I'm from Nigeria, I learned how to communicate intelligently and effectively just by watching Obama videos for 11years straight. He revealed a lot of deep things in politics during this session that only an intelligent mind will be able to capture. I captured several things and I just kept shaking my head. It's for your thoughts only and totally left to you as to what to do with it. For those who may not grasp one of the deep things he talked about is '' no matter how responsible you are or have been all your life, once you're finally in the position to rule/lead , you're going to have to get your hands dirty for a greater good ''.
  • Thank you, President Obama for speaking so eloquently. I could actually understand what you were saying and could focus on your topic. Yay!!! 👍🎉🎉🎉🎉
  • @jdmohan51
    Obamas most of the speeches are non scripted. He knows what to talk on any particular forum and so, you may watch that the words come out like a cascade. No obstruction or hesitation to deliver the most appropriate words is his strength. To add on his ability as a skilled speaker his image as a top position held as a president sure attractes the crowd. But the bottom point is he has stuff in his head that gives a long vision.
  • Say whatever of Obama, he is wise and perceptive. A lot of emphasis on responsibility, contribution, cooperation and persistence in different ways. Much underrated virtues as of today.
  • @TheArchitect216
    Typical Obama..classic. One of the most well spoken and charismatic people I've ever seen.
  • Could you replace Obama with Trump at this talk and imagine sitting here bigly interested for more than a minute? Well, we did it for four years.
  • @demm581
    He’s not a former president for many he still the president such a smart guy and humble ☝️👌👌
  • @sin90950
    Full sentences and follow ups, who knew a president could be calm and level headed.
  • Mr Obama is an eloquent speaker.he putted every point precisely and articulately.
  • Today, we're faced with lack of leadership globally. As the President states, our multilateral institutions were built post world war and currently it is not fit to resolve the global challenge that we're facing today. Our leaders can't continue to be politicians, they must be leaders and lead their counties to ensure that we reform our multilateral institutions.
