Obamas unique gaps in his speech are just him pausing and thinking about what he's going to say before he says it, a quality too many people lack nowadays
Automatic replies by THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is not a sign of confidence, but a sign of fear. Obama had a lot of pressure, and a lot that he wanted to implement and change...his pauses are admirable, as opposed to the instant replies that President Trump gives out without any second though as to the consequences that will occur as a result. THINK, then speak. The world will be better for it.
Not to sound mean, but when you hear Obama talk compared to Trump, I feel like there's a huge gap between their intellect. I just can't picture Trump talking this eloquent.
iced mochas We like and admire him immensely. He was one of your most presidential Presidents of recent years. We liked him leading the Free World. He took out Bin Laden and tried to lodge the idea that social healthcare is not Stalinist mind control, just common decency.
Its only funny that the comment was positive and just a compliment. But the new conservative mind set hates it. Hilarious they get infuriated with the legacy of a good person who happens to somewhat liberal and dignified. Being black we look at him as a level of achievement that was once just spoken about. Thanks Barack. You'll always be the peoples president. #ObamaForever
Samuel Clark I'm guessing you watch Fox News right? You know in the UK about 4.5% of the population are Muslim, hardly out of control as you suggest. We often laugh here about news reports on fox news that are literally made up (there was a famous one about Muslim 'no-go' zones, which was just a lie). Maybe you should be looking at your life, see why you are so pissed off/annoyed and work out why you feel you have to blame others for no real reason?
Jas K Judge I know right... I just hate that one day I'll have to show my kids this video just so they'll know. We peaked at Obama... And it's all down hill from here....
Jas K Judge wat do u mean?Can u just try 2 sound the same.

@NEW WORLD @NEW WORLD U pinpointing one fuckin thing he didn't do... what about all else he managed to pull off? ... he was just a president and there's never been a perfect Pres.
doceigen maybe i should have said "you people" or something to make it a little easier to understand. Not American. Oh and btw going from Obama to Clinton would have been just as bad.
2 of the main reasons that come to mind are skyrocketing health insurance costs attributed to Obamacare as well as under-3% economic growth over his tenure. Hint, that puts him in the bottom 5-10 presidents for economic growth. But I'm sure other people have different reasons too.
zerooskul Where is he lying in this interview? And who are you comparing him to? What politician can you say has done better with the hand they were dealt with along with the amount of racism and ignorance that has fought against them in the 21st century? Obama is speaking, eloquently as always, about his experience addressing race whilst being in one of the most powerful and watched positions in the world. For you to really point fingers at Obama for lying and faking empathy is beyond me. Also, if you listen carefully, this video is about his own personal experience and his opinion, so there is no reason to lie or fake emotion. He has been a strong and reasonable leader for eight years and you should stop commenting unnecessarily rude things. He has about a month left in office, has been and continues to be a well spoken politician, and did a great job as president, so please move on.
Very intelligent respectful handsome black president, well that is what God is after our hearts, and Obama has a heart of Gold, smile in the White House when should have shed tears, held his head up even though he was among the most prejudice white folks you could had ever imagine, yet God kept him and his family covered under his wings, saying no weapons formed against my children shall and will not prosper.and don’t forget about he’s wife children and mother in law, they all made by the grace of God.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 the 😈 didn’t win much love for the Obamas happy life to you all, stay safe wear your mask and stay well.
"Because a lot of children are watching, I try to comport myself in a way that my mother would approve of." This is a real President!! 😭😭 Thank you and miss you, Mr. President.
Now imagine Trump trying to explain this. Words like: “Many races, some good some bad Lotta bad guys They’re looooooooosers I won but Democrats don’t believe me I like Ivanka”
In all my years I have never been so sad to see a president go, even if it wasn't Trump taking his place. Thank you Mr. Obama for all the hard work that you've done these past 8 years. I do not regret for one second, my support and dedication to you. I hope you continue to speak your mind with such kind and thoughtful words, and I'm proud to know that my son will grow up knowing that we, as Americans, did at least one thing right in electing you as our president. ❤️
Samuel Clark And you dont know why your a fucking Troll but no one stops you from making dumb petty comments when the majority of everyone who has only made positive comments. So why are you here? Just to say he wasnt great? We will all maintain our opinion of him no matter what. So whats the point?
the one thing he never get is that Republicans are like spoiled brats. No use in argue with them like adult's. His plan to bring Republican and Democrats together by using the original Republican health care system instead of Universal Healthcare failed in an instand. I was waiting on the moment the Republicans shout "YOUR NOT ME REAL DAD!" since they blocked there own plan after Obama spoke out for it.
Ste H - I think you are confused over how much power any US president actually has. They are all subject to corporate demands, and have to negotiate their way through it, and for Obama, a republican senate that refused
S3rp3rior 9 years and this is the first that someone mentions it. It's a Christmas miracle! :D Kai's artwork is amazing and there is always something special with launch games on new hardware. :)
“-because a lot of children are watching I try to comport myself in a way that my mother would approve of.” This is key. This right here is what a president should be like.
I'm South African and my husband is Kenya and our kids are American.... this video makes us feel so so so.... I dont even have a word for how it feels watching this ❤❤❤❤
There will never be an equivalent interview with Trump, where he can speak coherently and thoughtfully and without a pathetic need to constantly brag about accomplishments that either don't exist or aren't his.
I love how whenever Obama is speaking, he is very obviously thinking and choosing every word he says very carefully. Trump literally just stands there and shouts random stuff that he thinks will make him look better.
i remember when trevor started his one man show the day walker people thought he wouldnt pull it through and he did it and his been unstoppable ever since
Trevor, I am so proud of your achievements and rapid growth in your industry, you are such an Ambassador for South Africa and I am glad it is you. I know there are many SA comedians who must hate your success, but I m sure you had a plan and worked towards it. Very well done to you and I wish you all the continued success in the world...very very proud of you...Ben
This man is probably one of our best Presidents. Haters, just listen to ANY time he talks. Just do it. Thank you, Barack Obama. I hope our country realizes it's error in electing Trump.
KidIndigo1 I tend not to judge my list of best presidents based on how well spoken they are. More so based on their upholding of the constitution and economic performance. Obama did not do too well in those areas IMHO. But unfortunately people seem to not realize that.
+Harry Doyle I don't really see where he failed. He's improved our economy and tried to protect Americans with his influence. What more do you need? I can't think if one president who has done an outstandingly better job in those regards than any other. Some were tasked with tougher issues and it made them look better if they simply did what was logical.
Shawn Rhyne he spent more money than every president in history combined. Look at the country. it's falling apart. 65,000 bridges behind repair. over 20 trillion in debt. presidents are based on +3%gdp. he failed all 8 years. only president to ever do that. he's garbage
KidIndigo1 - Maybe not the best, but day by day he is growing better and better compared with what is coming into the office in a month. God help us all.
Samuel Clark you little shit..all you have done is embarrass yourself in the comments. You horrible lousy UA-cam troll. As a South African, Trevor Noah you make me Proud! Viva SA!
will crow I must applaud you for posting your comment. Most ppl would not admit that they were wrong. But you’re most surely different from most ppl. It takes a STRONG person to admit their mistakes but you have. That is very rare and I know we won’t see a lot of this anytime soon. I just wanted to thank you sweetie for being honest with yourself and letting ppl know, how you felt then and how your feeling now. This country is falling apart and we NEED to come together as ONE if we’re going to survive. God Bless You Always.
Ok here’s my plan, let’s get him to put on glasses and a phony mustache and make him run again. Lets all just pretend we don’t know who it is and vote for him. 👍
The respect. We can see it in Trevor's eyes. Great president, it's a shame america doesn't realize that. Well, good luck and have fun with president Trump!
Alex Heinrichs I just can't imagine Trump could sit and talk like this, calm and relaxed. Trump has a short attention span, and he's definitely not as intelligent and humble as Obama is. Sadly, I think this will be a nightmare. Trump doesn't know anything about politics, and that's not why he wanted to become the president. It's for the money, power and admiration, can you even fathom how big of a disaster this can turn out to be, I can't. This is bad for the whole world. I'm sad that the democrats during these 8 years didn't tell the people what Obama actually has accomplished. They let the republicans bad mouthing him so people began to hate him for no reason. No president will be perfect, and wall street money makes it hard to make real changes for the people, because they have obligations to corporations. But I doubt Trump will do anything good for the people, he doesn't know how, he's just a dumb narcissist.
I haven't always agreed with him on everything, but I am satisfied I got my vote's worth both times with him. Imagine what he could have done without greedy and racist scumbags gridlocking him the entire time to our detriment.
I like how you assume he was gridlocked because of racism and not politics. This is why I never vote Democrats. You liberals are so narrow minded and oblivious
chaosXpert chaosXpert Racism and politics are not mutually exclusive concepts. There's nothing about them that make them inherently unable to intersect. If someone is manifesting their racism through politics, or their politics produce racist outcomes, then yes, their racism is political, and their politics are racist. In light of that, it's super funny that after saying something so obviously illogical, to say nothing of being completely unsupported by evidence, you then accuse liberals of being narrow-minded and oblivious. That's what we in the business like to call psychological projection.
Keep in mind the democrats held the majority of senate and congress when he became president. and yet republicans manage to gridlock him. Just goes to show how spineless and lazy the democrats were. Shame on them. They were nt aggresive enough to push their agenda as they too were in the pockets of the powerful. They are the establishment democrats and they fucking suck.
I never thought I'd say this, after rooting for Romney 2012, but I kind of like Obama. He is actually a great guy with a good amount of class. Going to miss him
being pro obama, but lets keep this unbiased. Your comparing an educated gentleman with a washing machine of popularism. Suddenly everybody has that much more class. even churchill.
Thomas Simeon I sure as hell hope you don't live in America because you really are a threat to our country and it's people (who, BTW, don't all support the nonstop wars and such).
Thomas Simeon I sure as hell hope you don't live in America because you really are a threat to our country and it's people (who, BTW, don't all support the nonstop wars and such).
Thomas Simeon Wow, you really believe all that rightist bs? You don't know half of what he's had to deal with and yet you think the new idiot can do better? If the answer is yes, you're delusional.
yes obama was super eloquent. decent? he seemed like it but some of his policies are FAR from decent, straight up wrong. he is a good actor, good presentor thats for sure. but actions matter more then words
There will always be people disagreeing with policies. But he got the country through an intense financial crisis, he allowed for diplomacy with former enemies, he hunted down bin laden, he made healthcare available for countless of people. Maybe you haven't felt much of this, but ask a poorer person, that couldn't even pay their treatments a few years ago, you'll hear a lot of positive things. Or allied countries, like Europe, pretty much any politican here actually respects Obama greatly (contrary to both the guys that came before and after)
Watching this at the end of October in 2019. I miss this level of calm and collected thought. This level of empathy. Turning a deep question into a discussion and enlightening people through useful rhetoric. I miss Obama, man. And I know many feel the same way!
Indians watching and thinking “How the hell Trevor sat in front of Obama with his leg on his lap”. If we sat like this in front of Modi, the next thing we know is that our legs are chopped off😅
Cornbread Cornbread not a two year old. A spoiled rotten, ill mannered, bitch of a brat toddler whose parents raised so poorly as to never teach him basic human decency. Also... Somehow... That's no longer frowned upon in America anymore... But is celebrated, praised, and rewarded... Welcome to the fall of the empire I guess.
I like how he pauses to make sure what he's about to says isn't offensive or dumb. He's very calm and collected. was he the best president? no, but he wasn't nearly as bad a president as some people say he was.
Eddie Exactly because you should respect other people's perception of information while opening up about how you really feel. Be polite Be honest but be firm unlike Donald Trump😂😂😂
To be fair, most Obama-haters are Bush-lovers. Obama had a huge mess on his hands the day he took office, that wasn't his fault. I dont agree with his greenlighting of NSA mass surveillance, or the amount of drone strikes under his name, but times change. Obamacare is a good plan, it just needs time and more people signing up for it to succeed. The US really needs a good healthcare system. Getting rid of it at the halfway point is just a shame. In the future Obama might hopefully be credited with a good healthcare system. All in all, he wasn't the best president, but you have to look at the amount of shit he had to deal with under his presidency. Bush could bomb entire nations if he wanted to and still hold the respect of many Americans. I think Obama being black *MIGHT* have had something to do with it, as racism still exists no matter how low key people try to act on it.
Is it me or is Trevor trying really hard not to jump up and down screaming “Obama! Obama! Obama!” 😂🤣 He seemed nervous af, so nervous he ran out of jokes. 🤣
I mean, when someone you admire is sitting right beside you, you'll get a little nervous 😊 If I were sitting beside Trevor, for example, I wouldn't be able to speak at all. ❤❤❤
Bryzz Lull who is forcing you to take care of your health (as if that's a bad thing) that sounded so so stupid? How can people force you do do well for yourself and why is this bad ,Jesus, take a little responsibility for yourself.
the most amazing thing about this interview is that there was only one question asked for 7:32 minutes of interview and trevor summarized it brilliantly and what can we say about Obama he nailed it. he cracked the question inch by inch while answering amazing Obama. he will be remembered generation after generation! and yah trevor also could run the administration brilliantly , I think he should take the chance of running the campaign in near future
I'm a republican and was an unapologetic Bush supporter (saying that just for context), and I am constantly reminded of how Pres. Obama carried himself and attempted to engage the other side of the aisle with sincerity and integrity. I'm quite certain a majority of my party did not realize how fortunate we were to have him in office for 8 years. Despite our disagreements over how to run a country, we could've take better advantage of his time in office to really get somewhere together as a country.
Abrazik Ahmed No need for hate here. Before you start calling me a racist bigot, I belong to a minority myself and lean left on the political spectrum. I don’t know what your goal is by talking shit, but your aggression is uncalled for.
I was not a fan of President Obama and I must say over the last 2 years he's really changed my opinion of him. I appreciate that he tries very hard to choose his words wisely and it was quite obvious to me here that he continues to do so. I think that is very important and will be sorely missed in the next few years.
I cannot imagine what it must have been like to have been in that room with such a great man or to listen to such truth. Trevor, if you're reading this, this interview made me so proud to be represented as a South African by someone like you and that's a really good feeling. It's been a while since we've had someone to be proud of on the international scene. The fact that one of my countrymen interviewed THE president of the U.S. of A with such class and with such attention to real issues is super inspiring Mr. Noah, I won't lie. Congratulations and well played sir, well played!
As a black woman, the middle of the week when the RNC is spewing propaganda, I had to come here and remind myself of how black excellence looks like. I am eager to vote this year just to restore some semblance on the above.
The coolest fucking president ever! I can't wait till he can speak uncensored about his thoughts on the country and the world. Such a statesman and patient progressive. How awesome for Trevor to be able to have such stimulating conversation with the President. I get the feeling they will hang out at some point without the cameras.
patrick watkins Yes he was. A pioneer, having visited 57 states and bringing mandatory Healthcare purchases in which many lost their doctors and we're forced to pay heavily-increased premiums/deductibles.
Harry Doyle i could be wrong but aren't there only 50 states? and wasn't healthcare mandatory before he came into office? it's not exactly a stupid move it may not have worked for some but it did work for others, for me personally if there was no obamacare i would have been screwed.
""telling people what they want to hear, then doing what he damn well pleases." that exactly how trump won and now he'll work for his own interests 4 years pretending he never made those promises to " his folks" #3rdwolrpolitics
He's not in office and so far he has just put his friends in his cabinet... I mean.. Sure we will see but we already have a pretty good picture of what the next four years will be like.
Julia Didn't you hear Trump telling his fans that he just used the words "Drain the swamp" to more or less get people riled up? He didn't mean them. He thought they were "hokey." He never meant to prosecute Hillary. He said, "I don't need your vote." Which to me says, "I used you. I don't need you any more." If I'd have voted for him, I'd be furious. (Anger is a secondary emotion. First, I'd be hurt, for having my trust betrayed...THEN I'd be furious.)
Don't count U.S. out yet. We've had awful Presidents before. The bigots think they're a silent majority... I think a lot of folks weren't attending during the last election. More people chose not to vote versus voting for either candidate. Those non-voters are paying attention now, they've seen what happens when half the population checks out of the political process. Hopefully, the equation will be different during the next mid term and primary season... and we get two decent candidates to choose from
Regardless of how we all feel about Barack Obama and what he did/didn't accomplish while as President, can we at least all agree that OVERALL (cause every President does have some failures) the United States of America is in a better place because of his presidency? I am a democrat but I will put political bias aside for this critique (for the most part). Yes, ObamaCare did have its problems, the national debt nearly doubled, Guantanamo Bay has still not been closed, ISIS became a military problem, North Korea is a bigger threat than ever, and shootings are seen as a bigger/more common problem in our society today. Also, he pledged to bring the political parties in Congress together and be a unifier President, but (whether it was his policies or the decisions by the Congress) that didn't happen. There were plenty of failures during the last 8 years, even his biggest supporters won't deny that. With that said, he does have many accomplishments, even with these failures; millions of people now have healthcare, Osama Bin Laden and many terrorist leaders are dead, the wars started by George W. Bush ended, Guantanamo Bay's prison population has been reduced to only a handful, and race-issues can't just be ignored like they used to be in our society. The unemployment rate is lower than it was during George W. Bush's 2nd term, the auto, banking, and housing industries have recovered from the greatest crisis since the 1930s, we have begun re-establishing relations with Cuba and Iran for the 1st time in decades, and the U. S. brought the whole world together on global climate change agreements. Furthermore, every LGBT citizen can legally marry, more states have legalized medicinal marijuana, women's pay wage gaps have decreased, he put 2 women on the Supreme Court, and millions of Hispanic and Islamic immigrants have become citizens. These were a lot of difficult issues to deal with in just 8 years, and even when the majority of politicians and citizens disagreed with this man he never gave up trying to make our country better despite many setbacks. Overall, was Barack Obama a perfect President? No, I will admit that he did have some failures, though he shouldn't be blamed for every bad thing that happened during his Presidency. Is the country as a whole better off now than it was in January of 2009? Yes, but we still have more we need to come together on (Democrats, Republicans, and Independents) to keep making progress to improve the lives of every American. Finally, in terms of being the 1st African-American President, he did the best he could despite the prejudice and racism he faced. Plus, regardless whether you personally liked this man or not, he leaves office with a decent approval rating with more people liking him than those that don't. While we don't know how many of his accomplishments or failures will be remembered in the near future, as a whole Barack Obama will be seen as the 1st African-American President that made this country better than it was when he started despite opposition and uncertainty; that (in my opinion) will be his legacy!
Jesse Torres Nice work Jesse! Well thought out and said and I agree with every single word. But I am biased because he is just a smooth and cool as shit dude. You know he is a real selfless individual which to me makes a good president. No one can say he didn't take his job to heart.
NatiStar XOXO, Timothy McJury, Future2700, and Mbandi - Music Beyond Borders: NatiStar XOXO: Thank you. Timothy McJury: That’s ok, I admitted that I am biased too, but I tried to be critical yet fair. Obama was a cool President, and I do agree that he worked the hardest he could given everything he had to deal with. Future2700: Thank you. Mbandi - Music Beyond Borders: Thank you.
Obamas unique gaps in his speech are just him pausing and thinking about what he's going to say before he says it, a quality too many people lack nowadays
James Durham What else makes it noticeable is that he doesn’t fill up the pauses with “uhs” and “likes” and “ums”...

this vid should be titled "The art of thinking before one speaks".
Yes. What a novel concept!
The art of calculated convincing. The sign of someone who is hyper aware of how they appear
You mean "How to lie while seeming empathetic"?
zerooskul that's another way to look at it.
zerooskul Where is he lying in this interview? And who are you comparing him to? What politician can you say has done better with the hand they were dealt with along with the amount of racism and ignorance that has fought against them in the 21st century? Obama is speaking, eloquently as always, about his experience addressing race whilst being in one of the most powerful and watched positions in the world. For you to really point fingers at Obama for lying and faking empathy is beyond me. Also, if you listen carefully, this video is about his own personal experience and his opinion, so there is no reason to lie or fake emotion. He has been a strong and reasonable leader for eight years and you should stop commenting unnecessarily rude things. He has about a month left in office, has been and continues to be a well spoken politician, and did a great job as president, so please move on.
I'm not even American and I'm gonna miss him…

clear, concise, extremely well-spoken… yeah, Obama certainly doesn't get the appreciation he deserves :/
I live i the baltics next to Russia and we are REALLY going to miss him, Trump has already pretty much said fuck you have a nice day to the Baltics
feeling the same.
“South side Chicago, South side of Africa..”
“.....similar”
there are similarities in all honesty
Very intelligent respectful handsome black president, well that is what God is after our hearts, and Obama has a heart of Gold, smile in the White House when should have shed tears, held his head up even though he was among the most prejudice white folks you could had ever imagine, yet God kept him and his family covered under his wings, saying no weapons formed against my children shall and will not prosper.and don’t forget about he’s wife children and mother in law, they all made by the grace of God.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 the 😈 didn’t win much love for the Obamas happy life to you all, stay safe wear your mask and stay well.

Now imagine Trump trying to explain this. Words like:
“Many races, some good some bad

This is the most tense I have seen Trevor ....like ever.
true lmaoo but he did say he was nervous in preparing for this interview 😂😂
In all my years I have never been so sad to see a president go, even if it wasn't Trump taking his place. Thank you Mr. Obama for all the hard work that you've done these past 8 years. I do not regret for one second, my support and dedication to you. I hope you continue to speak your mind with such kind and thoughtful words, and I'm proud to know that my son will grow up knowing that we, as Americans, did at least one thing right in electing you as our president. ❤️
Samuel Clark
And you dont know why your a fucking Troll but no one stops you from making dumb petty comments when the majority of everyone who has only made positive comments. So why are you here? Just to say he wasnt great? We will all maintain our opinion of him no matter what. So whats the point?
+Samuel Clark I do know why I support him. What I don't know is why the fuck you care.
***** No, that's what YOU know. Don't speak for me as if you know me. I can speak on my own behalf just fine.
coley. u r crazy
have u ever wondered why. Its commom logic that u jus dont bomb a nation for nothin. Unless u r an imbecile. So educate me on ur averments
So much class, intelligence and prestige in one video.
the one thing he never get is that Republicans are like spoiled brats. No use in argue with them like adult's. His plan to bring Republican and Democrats together by using the original Republican health care system instead of Universal Healthcare failed in an instand. I was waiting on the moment the Republicans shout "YOUR NOT ME REAL DAD!" since they blocked there own plan after Obama spoke out for it.
Just one question though, where was 'that' Obama during the past 8 years? I got tired of seeing his doppelgänger acceding to corporate demands.
Ste H - I think you are confused over how much power any US president actually has. They are all subject to corporate demands, and have to negotiate their way through it, and for Obama, a republican senate that refused
Exactly. And what we have right now is his EXACT OPPOSITE. (dumb, clown, narcissist)
Look at Trevor is being very careful not to mess up. 😂😂😂😂😂
I can't forget the Aids issue, it was so funny.
Kodjo Swole u r high
he tried really 😂😂😂
Its fake
he is so embarrassing🤣
Still the best presidential speaker of my generation . calm, thought out comments. Respectful.
I wonder how long will it be till we have another president that speaks as well... or can read.
Or can define the word "diplomacy".
Or "unprecedented" for that matter.

“-because a lot of children are watching I try to comport myself in a way that my mother would approve of.” This is key. This right here is what a president should be like.
I'm South African and my husband is Kenya and our kids are American.... this video makes us feel so so so.... I dont even have a word for how it feels watching this ❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️ my heart is full from this comment!
There will never be an equivalent interview with Trump, where he can speak coherently and thoughtfully and without a pathetic need to constantly brag about accomplishments that either don't exist or aren't his.
C G preach 👏👏
I read in a comment once that Obama was "manipulative" because he was so articulate :D ... so mean, how he uses his brain!
colorblind won't solve it, blindenss on the other hand...
Also then discrimination on tone will begin
Exactly.
I love how whenever Obama is speaking, he is very obviously thinking and choosing every word he says very carefully. Trump literally just stands there and shouts random stuff that he thinks will make him look better.
How many people live in America?
Around 320 million.
Yeah, it's like he's worried that if he says the wrong thing we'll all hear the truth straight from his lips.
FUCK YOU ! i AM SICK OF BEING POLITE
So many words and so little action.
I love seeing two of my favorite people sharing their thoughts.

Hi
Me too! Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson lol
I love how Trevor is nervous like a school boy. So cute 😂
Well it IS obama, you wouldn't want to disrespect him. A highly respectable and respected man.
As a South African, I'm so proud of Trevor
Is true
Yeah same... His grown to be far more intelligent in his comedic style
i remember when trevor started his one man show the day walker people thought he wouldnt pull it through and he did it and his been unstoppable ever since
Le na ke mo thabetše
But he is lifting his shoulders, how can he sit like that to an elder man
Trevor, I am so proud of your achievements and rapid growth in your industry, you are such an Ambassador for South Africa and I am glad it is you. I know there are many SA comedians who must hate your success, but I m sure you had a plan and worked towards it. Very well done to you and I wish you all the continued success in the world...very very proud of you...Ben
Wow! Can't accept anything from a non white personal, huh? You would rather eat feces with Trump than eat honey with Obama! Sad!
The handshake is the perfect blend of gangster and Presidential 😂
😂😂😂😂😂👌
This man is probably one of our best Presidents. Haters, just listen to ANY time he talks. Just do it. Thank you, Barack Obama. I hope our country realizes it's error in electing Trump.
KidIndigo1 Actually, "our country" voted for Hilary, the electoral college...not so much.
KidIndigo1 I tend not to judge my list of best presidents based on how well spoken they are. More so based on their upholding of the constitution and economic performance. Obama did not do too well in those areas IMHO. But unfortunately people seem to not realize that.
+Harry Doyle I don't really see where he failed. He's improved our economy and tried to protect Americans with his influence. What more do you need? I can't think if one president who has done an outstandingly better job in those regards than any other. Some were tasked with tougher issues and it made them look better if they simply did what was logical.
Shawn Rhyne he spent more money than every president in history combined. Look at the country. it's falling apart. 65,000 bridges behind repair. over 20 trillion in debt. presidents are based on +3%gdp. he failed all 8 years. only president to ever do that. he's garbage
KidIndigo1 - Maybe not the best, but day by day he is growing better and better compared with what is coming into the office in a month.
God help us all.

During each pause, I wait intently for what he's going to say next. I cannot recall any president ever holding my attention as such. Wonderful orator.
i've said shitty things about Mr Obama in the past, i was wrong. He's missed, he's needed and his best work, his legacy of truth, is worth defending.
Can you share what changed your mind
Trump
Will crow thank you for that because we all have said things about him (I'm black) we just need to procieve the truth with our own eyes.
will crow I must applaud you for posting your comment. Most ppl would not admit that they were wrong. But you’re most surely different from most ppl. It takes a STRONG person to admit their mistakes but you have. That is very rare and I know we won’t see a lot of this anytime soon. I just wanted to thank you sweetie for being honest with yourself and letting ppl know, how you felt then and how your feeling now. This country is falling apart and we NEED to come together as ONE if we’re going to survive. God Bless You Always.

💯. I totally would! Or have Michelle run with him as Vice President.
The respect. We can see it in Trevor's eyes.
Great president, it's a shame america doesn't realize that.
Well, good luck and have fun with president Trump!
Alex Heinrichs I just can't imagine Trump could sit and talk like this, calm and relaxed. Trump has a short attention span, and he's definitely not as intelligent and humble as Obama is. Sadly, I think this will be a nightmare. Trump doesn't know anything about politics, and that's not why he wanted to become the president. It's for the money, power and admiration, can you even fathom how big of a disaster this can turn out to be, I can't. This is bad for the whole world. I'm sad that the democrats during these 8 years didn't tell the people what Obama actually has accomplished. They let the republicans bad mouthing him so people began to hate him for no reason. No president will be perfect, and wall street money makes it hard to make real changes for the people, because they have obligations to corporations. But I doubt Trump will do anything good for the people, he doesn't know how, he's just a dumb narcissist.
*"have fun"*
Marten Nilsson brilliantly stated
Alex Heinrichs I realize it
Great orater; worse policies.
I haven't always agreed with him on everything, but I am satisfied I got my vote's worth both times with him. Imagine what he could have done without greedy and racist scumbags gridlocking him the entire time to our detriment.
Doc Vega definatly not biased.
I like how you assume he was gridlocked because of racism and not politics. This is why I never vote Democrats. You liberals are so narrow minded and oblivious
chaosXpert chaosXpert Racism and politics are not mutually exclusive concepts. There's nothing about them that make them inherently unable to intersect. If someone is manifesting their racism through politics, or their politics produce racist outcomes, then yes, their racism is political, and their politics are racist. In light of that, it's super funny that after saying something so obviously illogical, to say nothing of being completely unsupported by evidence, you then accuse liberals of being narrow-minded and oblivious. That's what we in the business like to call psychological projection.
Yeah, he wouldn't have had to tell Biden we aren't getting our high speed rail!
I wonder if that would have created any jobs.
Keep in mind the democrats held the majority of senate and congress when he became president. and yet republicans manage to gridlock him. Just goes to show how spineless and lazy the democrats were. Shame on them. They were nt aggresive enough to push their agenda as they too were in the pockets of the powerful. They are the establishment democrats and they fucking suck.
"I try to comport myself in a way my mother would approve of". You will greatly be missed Mr. President.

Say goodbye to eloquence, decency and intelligence, America.
Sebastian Stormborn Damn we set the bar low with Trump😔
I AM GROOT!!!!! There is no bar with Trump just the ground
yes obama was super eloquent. decent? he seemed like it but some of his policies are FAR from decent, straight up wrong. he is a good actor, good presentor thats for sure. but actions matter more then words
There will always be people disagreeing with policies. But he got the country through an intense financial crisis, he allowed for diplomacy with former enemies, he hunted down bin laden, he made healthcare available for countless of people.
Maybe you haven't felt much of this, but ask a poorer person, that couldn't even pay their treatments a few years ago, you'll hear a lot of positive things. Or allied countries, like Europe, pretty much any politican here actually respects Obama greatly (contrary to both the guys that came before and after)
Where am I directing my voice as I say this?
Watching this at the end of October in 2019. I miss this level of calm and collected thought. This level of empathy. Turning a deep question into a discussion and enlightening people through useful rhetoric. I miss Obama, man. And I know many feel the same way!
I love how Barack Obama speaks wisely.

"You might not have taken into account, the ongoing legacy of Racism" So smooth :)
The level of confidence these two men exhibit is immense.
I like how he pauses to make sure what he's about to says isn't offensive or dumb. He's very calm and collected. was he the best president? no, but he wasn't nearly as bad a president as some people say he was.
Eddie me to so calming, I don't see Trump thinking before he speaks
Yup Obama a real president not like trump who just says whatever the fuck he wants and not giving a shit
Eddie one of the very best.. yes
Eddie Exactly because you should respect other people's perception of information while opening up about how you really feel. Be polite Be honest but be firm unlike Donald Trump😂😂😂
To be fair, most Obama-haters are Bush-lovers. Obama had a huge mess on his hands the day he took office, that wasn't his fault. I dont agree with his greenlighting of NSA mass surveillance, or the amount of drone strikes under his name, but times change. Obamacare is a good plan, it just needs time and more people signing up for it to succeed. The US really needs a good healthcare system. Getting rid of it at the halfway point is just a shame. In the future Obama might hopefully be credited with a good healthcare system.
All in all, he wasn't the best president, but you have to look at the amount of shit he had to deal with under his presidency. Bush could bomb entire nations if he wanted to and still hold the respect of many Americans. I think Obama being black *MIGHT* have had something to do with it, as racism still exists no matter how low key people try to act on it.
"I try to comport myself in a way my mother would approve of.".. ❤️
Had to look that word up 🤣
I just came here to imagine what he could be helping us hold our heads high especially this Corona virus quarantine period!!!...
Is it me or is Trevor trying really hard not to jump up and down screaming “Obama! Obama! Obama!” 😂🤣
He seemed nervous af, so nervous he ran out of jokes. 🤣
He has to be nervous ,the secret services are watching.

Oma DM Rumuna yup
What if Michelle was running? :P
Liked before I watched the video lol... I mean it's Trevor and Obama ❤😍.
Trevor Noah from South Africa WOW. This is powerful...for so many reasons.
the most amazing thing about this interview is that there was only one question asked for 7:32 minutes of interview and trevor summarized it brilliantly and what can we say about Obama he nailed it. he cracked the question inch by inch while answering amazing Obama. he will be remembered generation after generation! and yah trevor also could run the administration brilliantly , I think he should take the chance of running the campaign in near future
I'm a republican and was an unapologetic Bush supporter (saying that just for context), and I am constantly reminded of how Pres. Obama carried himself and attempted to engage the other side of the aisle with sincerity and integrity. I'm quite certain a majority of my party did not realize how fortunate we were to have him in office for 8 years. Despite our disagreements over how to run a country, we could've take better advantage of his time in office to really get somewhere together as a country.
Dylan Todd you party are racists, they believe he is unique but they don’t want to admit it
Abrazik Ahmed No need for hate here. Before you start calling me a racist bigot, I belong to a minority myself and lean left on the political spectrum. I don’t know what your goal is by talking shit, but your aggression is uncalled for.
Abrazik Ahmed please tell me what makes all republicans racist and how you can call millions of people racist that you don’t even know
Yosef abitbol i introduced Republicans by the way you have introduced me. After I watched and listened their views I learnt they’re racist.
And what is wrong with the way I spoke about you
I was not a fan of President Obama and I must say over the last 2 years he's really changed my opinion of him.
I appreciate that he tries very hard to choose his words wisely and it was quite obvious to me here that he continues to do so. I think that is very important and will be sorely missed in the next few years.
I cannot imagine what it must have been like to have been in that room with such a great man or to listen to such truth.
Trevor, if you're reading this, this interview made me so proud to be represented as a South African by someone like you and that's a really good feeling. It's been a while since we've had someone to be proud of on the international scene. The fact that one of my countrymen interviewed THE president of the U.S. of A with such class and with such attention to real issues is super inspiring Mr. Noah, I won't lie. Congratulations and well played sir, well played!
As a black woman, the middle of the week when the RNC is spewing propaganda, I had to come here and remind myself of how black excellence looks like. I am eager to vote this year just to restore some semblance on the above.
obama and trevar are both black/white ....their excellence comes from both heritages
one of the last times we'll see the american President thinking before answering for 4 years
well we didn't exactly have it with bush either. Basically obama was an 8 year reprieve from stupidity.
The coolest fucking president ever! I can't wait till he can speak uncensored about his thoughts on the country and the world. Such a statesman and patient progressive. How awesome for Trevor to be able to have such stimulating conversation with the President. I get the feeling they will hang out at some point without the cameras.
patrick watkins Yes he was. A pioneer, having visited 57 states and bringing mandatory Healthcare purchases in which many lost their doctors and we're forced to pay heavily-increased premiums/deductibles.
Harry Doyle i could be wrong but aren't there only 50 states? and wasn't healthcare mandatory before he came into office? it's not exactly a stupid move it may not have worked for some but it did work for others, for me personally if there was no obamacare i would have been screwed.
and dems get blamed for all the fuck ups of republicans lol. ya the cycle continues
I am going to miss having an actual INTELLIGENT president in the White House SO MUCH next year... Oh so very much......
Well it is like Bush 3.0, eh?
""telling people what they want to hear, then doing what he damn well pleases." that exactly how trump won and now he'll work for his own interests 4 years pretending he never made those promises to " his folks" #3rdwolrpolitics
He's not in office and so far he has just put his friends in his cabinet... I mean.. Sure we will see but we already have a pretty good picture of what the next four years will be like.
Julia Didn't you hear Trump telling his fans that he just used the words "Drain the swamp" to more or less get people riled up? He didn't mean them. He thought they were "hokey." He never meant to prosecute Hillary. He said, "I don't need your vote." Which to me says, "I used you. I don't need you any more." If I'd have voted for him, I'd be furious. (Anger is a secondary emotion. First, I'd be hurt, for having my trust betrayed...THEN I'd be furious.)
Lobo over here can't spell intelligent or mislabeled...
the dude is so classy man, I swear I'm gonna miss him
I am sure you will. You would, even if he had been a lesser person.
0MoTheG and what exactly do you mean by that?
Abraham Miller By that I mean, that the next guy will make you miss him.
How's that going for ya, bruh?
I’ve just watched this and now feel so hard about being American today.
In terms of US presidents - you peaked at Obama, looks like it's down hill from here
Pooja kaur go look at the stock market all up from here
Spoken like a true racist.
Lmao, Obama was not the "peak"..... That's some funny shit.
I agree Pooja Kaur & all the Obama haters must be obsessed watching a video of him during their free time
Don't count U.S. out yet. We've had awful Presidents before. The bigots think they're a silent majority... I think a lot of folks weren't attending during the last election. More people chose not to vote versus voting for either candidate. Those non-voters are paying attention now, they've seen what happens when half the population checks out of the political process. Hopefully, the equation will be different during the next mid term and primary season... and we get two decent candidates to choose from
Regardless of how we all feel about Barack Obama and what he did/didn't accomplish while as President, can we at least all agree that OVERALL (cause every President does have some failures) the United States of America is in a better place because of his presidency?
I am a democrat but I will put political bias aside for this critique (for the most part). Yes, ObamaCare did have its problems, the national debt nearly doubled, Guantanamo Bay has still not been closed, ISIS became a military problem, North Korea is a bigger threat than ever, and shootings are seen as a bigger/more common problem in our society today. Also, he pledged to bring the political parties in Congress together and be a unifier President, but (whether it was his policies or the decisions by the Congress) that didn't happen. There were plenty of failures during the last 8 years, even his biggest supporters won't deny that.
With that said, he does have many accomplishments, even with these failures; millions of people now have healthcare, Osama Bin Laden and many terrorist leaders are dead, the wars started by George W. Bush ended, Guantanamo Bay's prison population has been reduced to only a handful, and race-issues can't just be ignored like they used to be in our society. The unemployment rate is lower than it was during George W. Bush's 2nd term, the auto, banking, and housing industries have recovered from the greatest crisis since the 1930s, we have begun re-establishing relations with Cuba and Iran for the 1st time in decades, and the U. S. brought the whole world together on global climate change agreements. Furthermore, every LGBT citizen can legally marry, more states have legalized medicinal marijuana, women's pay wage gaps have decreased, he put 2 women on the Supreme Court, and millions of Hispanic and Islamic immigrants have become citizens. These were a lot of difficult issues to deal with in just 8 years, and even when the majority of politicians and citizens disagreed with this man he never gave up trying to make our country better despite many setbacks.
Overall, was Barack Obama a perfect President? No, I will admit that he did have some failures, though he shouldn't be blamed for every bad thing that happened during his Presidency. Is the country as a whole better off now than it was in January of 2009? Yes, but we still have more we need to come together on (Democrats, Republicans, and Independents) to keep making progress to improve the lives of every American. Finally, in terms of being the 1st African-American President, he did the best he could despite the prejudice and racism he faced. Plus, regardless whether you personally liked this man or not, he leaves office with a decent approval rating with more people liking him than those that don't.
While we don't know how many of his accomplishments or failures will be remembered in the near future, as a whole Barack Obama will be seen as the 1st African-American President that made this country better than it was when he started despite opposition and uncertainty; that (in my opinion) will be his legacy!
Jesse Torres Nice work Jesse! Well thought out and said and I agree with every single word. But I am biased because he is just a smooth and cool as shit dude. You know he is a real selfless individual which to me makes a good president. No one can say he didn't take his job to heart.
Jesse Torres could not be said better
NatiStar XOXO, Timothy McJury, Future2700, and Mbandi - Music Beyond Borders:
NatiStar XOXO: Thank you.
Timothy McJury: That’s ok, I admitted that I am biased too, but I tried to be critical yet fair. Obama was a cool President, and I do agree that he worked the hardest he could given everything he had to deal with.
Future2700: Thank you.
Mbandi - Music Beyond Borders: Thank you.
very well said and unbiased.
true.
I miss so much having a president that speak, sounds, and act like a president...
Watching this because I really miss him. Brings tears to my eyes because he was always so poised and eloquent. I miss his compassion and humbleness.
