I Ramon Mendoza I m couldn't be more proud of our president Obama who did a wonderful speech to celebrate our 2016 world series champion Chicago cubs ,go cubs go go cubs go hey Chicago what you say we're gonna win tonight. 😀
Sad thing is, we’ll never see Trump give a heart felt speech like this. You think he even knows who Ron Santo is? No way. It meant a lot coming from Obama because he knows Chicago, and how much that championship meant to us Cubs fans. It really is more than just sport, and Obama actually understood that. I’ll remember watching the Cubs win the world series with my father until the day I die.
Admit it, even if you're a Trump supporter, it's much, much better to have the cubbies go to Obama to highlight and congratulate them on his way out. Obama, a fellow Chicagoan, Sox fan, using his witty humor and admiral oratory skills to really truly emphasize the historical victory. Much better than hearing "You guys did great. Real winners. Great job. Keep winning. Made a lot of Americans very proud. Proud."
I Ramon Mendoza has been a die hard cubs fan since 1967 and was overwhelmed with our 2016 world series chanpion Chicago Cubs and very happy cubs won during my lifetime.
update to Steve Goodman's "last wish" By the shores of Cleveland's Lake Erie when November's winds were blowing so cold eternal Cub fans were watching In that midnight hour that tolled within pearly gates, old Cub fans had gathered They knew time was running short And on their halos they put their bright blue caps From their all-time favorite sport Steve told them, "Its extra innings and getting late down there And I know its time, go Cubs go But before they leave that field Guys, there's just one thing I'd like to know............ will they still play the blues in Chicago When next baseball season rolls around? When the snow melts away, Will the Cubbies then play as champs in their splendid grounds? For all of my life they were my pride and joy But then they only bring fatigue To the home of the brave we're free at last to exclaim Cubs are the champs of the Major Leagues"
Never having been an Obama fan, I think that this President is going out in style. How happy and thrilled he and Michelle have caused so many people to be. We, as loyal Americans, should all honor and support them, his mother-in-law, and Pres. Obama's and First Lady Michelle's two lovely daughters. After all, we are all citizens of the United States of America, are we not? by Fancy Nancy 1929 Jan 16th, 2017 - at 3:10 p.m.
Makes me sad that my Caps cant get there soon enough to meet this President... would’ve been awesome if they did it 2 years sooner... still the best sports thing ever happened in my life but yeah....
I remember watching the Cubs win in 2016 I was watching it on TV with my mom I tell you this is something we're going to be telling our children our grandchildren it will be told for as long as humans are on this planet years decades will be telling this one thing I found interesting is President Obama was not a Cubs fan he was a Sox fan and the fact that he brought a team that he wasn't interested in to do that it's incredible I actually think someday someone will make a movie and call it the Chicago Cubs a win in the making.
Michelle is a Cubs fan so it’s in his family, same reason I root for the Sox if they’re in the series although I’m a Cubs fan because my grandmother was from the south side and liked the Sox.
I see a lot of Trump comments. And well deserving. Then Trump brings my beloved cubs back to WH just to one up Obama. Weird!!! Really wierd. Like Trump had something to do with it.and I hope Cubs fans didn't fall for that bs. No Theo Epstein and Maddon did it and the mental and physical talent of the cub players. Still get emotional watching the 2016 highlights.
Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings son is a darling. We offer banking reconciliation with the Cubs for the Mrs. Obama, our radiant First Lady. Civil rights for the Cubs was amazing to lotus for.
Trump: When I invited the Cubs to the White House, they showed up in record numbers. There were 500,000 Cubs at my White House invitation, way more than Obama's.
I'm glad that Obama cares so much about his sports teams and celebrities, however, if he put as much emphasis and focus on sports as he did for the US economy, our great country would be GREAT AGAIN. TRUMP 2024
John Ferrarini Jon Lester said on Twitter that his mother in law had surgery and that he was with his family. a me member of Jake's family had surgery and I dk why Lackey wasn't there
SweetShimotekutafuto I like him to but they didn't put him on the postseason roster he would have been the 4th Japanese born player to win a ring in Japan and in the States.
Same here. A lot of people hate him because he supposedly did steroids but I bet those same people were cheering for all of those home runs he hit. I'll always be a fan of number 21. #SS21
I bet a few Cubs were intermittently bored during this speech, but I doubt a single one would describe either the speech or their day at the White House as boring.
They're both. The champions of each NBA season are called the NBA Champions, so how is this any different. The Cubs were the champions of the entire MLB, you can call them either one.

LOL my dad likes the Yankees and my mom likes the Red Sox. My grandfather (a more avid fan than my mom) and my dad used to yell in German during the games so my cousins and I didn't learn any words.
I am not really sure what video you saw, or if you even watched the whole video but he only said his own name once, alongside with Biden's at the same time.
How ever you feel about policy, this man is a good person. Can you even imagine Trump doing this? It would all be rhetoric about the wall and other junk. Oh, and fast food buffet.
Made my cry - so happy for them
Proud moment for the the city of Chicago all around

Great Speech by Obama. People can say what they want about Obama but he definitely has a great sense of humor

Matt92 Machine Trump>Obama
This Guy only in your delusional crazy mind
I wish Harry Carey were around to see it.
Obama who is not even from Chicago is a Sox fan.
It makes me so happy that the Cubs won while this good man was president.
ABoxOfBroken8Tracks He is a piece of garbage and belongs in the waste basket of history.
ABoxOfBroken8Tracks “good man”
lol
ABoxOfBroken8Tracks Obama is many things, but a good man is not one of them.
The "Let's elect him so maybe they'll shut up' President
Teri Kay *gets reelected*
Glad the Chicago Cubs got to meet the President....... _while they still have a chance._
Yea. Lucky them....LOL!
You're not funny

Tell it
Antoine Bracy nope. Screw Obama, 2016 will be remembered as the year the Cubs and President Trump won big
silvert00 2016 is known as the all hell broke loosenyear and the cubs winning was the only good thing that happened
silvert00 trump is a loser and so are you! Pay attention! This was when America still had class
Enjoy your king President Golden Showers
Even if ur a bigot.....

We miss you Obama and we miss the 2016 cubs.
Man he went out with a real bang, what a great way to end a presidency just on such a perfect, high note
Rizzo has the most adorable smile!❤️
update to Steve Goodman's "last wish"
By the shores of Cleveland's Lake Erie
when November's winds were blowing so cold
eternal Cub fans were watching
In that midnight hour that tolled
within pearly gates, old Cub fans had gathered
They knew time was running short
And on their halos they put their bright blue caps
From their all-time favorite sport
Steve told them, "Its extra innings and getting late down there
And I know its time, go Cubs go
But before they leave that field
Guys, there's just one thing I'd like to know............
will they still play the blues in Chicago
When next baseball season rolls around?
When the snow melts away,
Will the Cubbies then play
as champs in their splendid grounds?
For all of my life they were my pride and joy
But then they only bring fatigue
To the home of the brave
we're free at last to exclaim
Cubs are the champs of the Major Leagues"
Forever love my Cubbies! ❤️❤️ Engraved in my heart forever
Wow! What a difference an intelligent president make....those were the days...
Yeah, intelligence. That'll put food on my table. \s
@@bneale It'll put food on your great grandkid's table, which won't be underwater or on fire.

Nostalgia for the days when the POTUS stood for dignity, decency, loyalty and wit...
Tullochgorum Yep, JFK was the last one of those.
Tullochgorum Unlike Obama, President Trump stands for those things perfectly!
Robert Fullmer no he doesn’t. He’s the biggest disgrace ever to sit in the Oval Office
@@tkaki6029 Yes he does. The biggest disgrace to ever sit in the Oval Office was Obama and it's not even close.
Robert Fullmer you have nothing to base that on but bigoted nonsense and Fox News squawking points. Everyone laughs at you.
I'm glad the president was able to kinda break character for a while and just be a sports fan.
Makes me sad that my Caps cant get there soon enough to meet this President... would’ve been awesome if they did it 2 years sooner... still the best sports thing ever happened in my life but yeah....
GO CUBS GO! GO CUBS GO! HEY CHICAGO WHAT DO YOU SAY, THE CUBS ARE GONNA WIN TODAY!
As a huge Cubs fan i am glad they could get this visit in before Obama left office. Was so happy to see this.
I miss Obama so much!
well you can visit him in Kenya or the nearest mosque
backspace4353 why
I miss him as much as I miss my last root canal.
Great job Pres
This was wholesome.
Rizzo was sweating so much

Great president, great team 😂
Contreras didn’t look like the happiest person when he said the young talent of Javy and Russel and left him out. Lol 😂 the good old days
so glad this was Baraka flocka giving the speech and not the guy we have now!
The Cubs also met Obama not Trump which makes this even sweeter
they met both
the president of the United States just said "Shaggin' Wagon" hahaha
This POTUS, is such a Well Spoken Man. With out a doubt, one of the Best, to Ever inhabit the White House.
I see a lot of Trump comments. And well deserving. Then Trump brings my beloved cubs back to WH just to one up Obama. Weird!!! Really wierd.

those were the days when we had a real president and didn't live in chaos from one day to the next
Awesome. Go CUBS.
lol lol lol

Go Cubs go
it's gonna be a show watching trump do this
Tanner Aitken trump would never let such a stupid team in the white house
BossATsleep trumps stupid team is at the white house 24/7
I miss those days. A president that doesn't sound like a delusional facebook post all the time.
Trump: When I invited the Cubs to the White House, they showed up in record numbers. There were 500,000 Cubs at my White House invitation, way more than Obama's.
Not an Obama voter..voted for Trump ..but enjoyed this ..best Obama speech ever:-)
Juli Perna it’s awesome you make such good decisions 🤦♂️
People are all like Trump is a better president, but i don't remember players not going to the White House when Obama was president.
I'm glad that Obama cares so much about his sports teams and celebrities, however, if he put as much emphasis and focus on sports as he did for the US economy, our great country would be GREAT AGAIN. TRUMP 2024
his favorite team
Midnight Pardon my Ass!!
Hes a Sox fan...
you should've invited the 2005 white sox in 2015
You stupid or something? Obama didn't get into office until Jan 2009. He couldn't have invited them even if he wanted to because he want President.
why didn't jake. or lackey or lester show up that is very disrespectful no excuse the team had 3 month notice
John Ferrarini It's a free country. Try not to be such a whiner.
John Ferrarini Jon Lester said on Twitter that his mother in law had surgery and that he was with his family. a me member of Jake's family had surgery and I dk why Lackey wasn't there
What makes you think they had 3 months notice? Obama didn't invite them the second they won the Series.
@@PeridotLioness85 Lacky was probably mad because he didn't get to pitch in the World Series.
@@mikestone7651 ok. Ty
Trump got one from rickets
Where's Kawasaki?
SweetShimotekutafuto I like him to but they didn't put him on the postseason roster he would have been the 4th Japanese born player to win a ring in Japan and in the States.
He’s a sox fan
I find it disrespectful that he left out one of the greatest Cubs of all time....Sammy Sosa.
#2016WorldSeriesChampions
Stanley Godfrey im a huge fan of Slammin Sammy Sosa! idc what ppl say he is the greatest cub
Same here. A lot of people hate him because he supposedly did steroids but I bet those same people were cheering for all of those home runs he hit. I'll always be a fan of number 21.
#SS21
"supposedly" meaning "he absolutely did steroids" Lol
Too bad when the Blackhawks win the Stanley cup in 2K17 they either get to see Trump, or go to Obama's house.
Ss 240 v spec yeah that didn't turn out well
HawksFan 007 Swept by an 8th seed lol
successor no chance!
Does Obama like the Chicago Cubs?
instead of #44 it should have been #22 trillion
I bet the cubs were bored standing in the background
I bet a few Cubs were intermittently bored during this speech, but I doubt a single one would describe either the speech or their day at the White House as boring.
Baseball Byb
I take it your a degenerate gambler.
I cringed when she said "MLB champions"
Why? That's what they are.
Ry.the.Stunner World Series champions not MLB championship
Champions*
They're both.
The champions of each NBA season are called the NBA Champions, so how is this any different. The Cubs were the champions of the entire MLB, you can call them either one.
I wonder if Obama knew about those emails.
Why is Dexter there didn't he just betray us?
He wanted long term and lots of money and got it. That's not betrayal, that's sports.
he ditched the cards convention for it lol

you nevered invited the white sox
They didn't win while he was POTUS, they lost more than they won.
Adrian Nino White sox won back in 2005 , and Obama came into White House in 2009. Stop acting dumb
Uugh wtf?? A married couple supporting different Chicago teams? That marriage is gonna tank.

Been married 37 yrs. My team is San Fran Giants , my hubby Dodgers. So shove your comment.
LOL my dad likes the Yankees and my mom likes the Red Sox. My grandfather (a more avid fan than my mom) and my dad used to yell in German during the games so my cousins and I didn't learn any words.
Red Sox breaking their curse was the better story
Ben Donnelly Ok. Why is that?
You must be 12.
Ben Donnelly NOPE!!!!!!!!
haha no
Ben Donnelly I agree because they came back from 3-0 to beat the Yankees and swept a stacked Cardinals team in the ws

What did OBOMBER do for CHICAGO?
Angelotube5000 Gave us hope that people of minorities can actually do make it big in life
40 times this egomaniac President said his own name.
Hes as much a Sox fan as Im a Cub fan.
3 Days and Counting
I am not really sure what video you saw, or if you even watched the whole video but he only said his own name once, alongside with Biden's at the same time.
What do you expect from a guy who gave Queen Elizabeth a DVD set of his speeches.
Lol republicans are the slowest idiots there are
No mention of Sammy Sosa and Jack Brickhouse. How ignorant! President Trump would have done million times better!!!!!!!!!!!
Gilberto Garza shut up dude. Jeez. The cubs don't want sosa mentioned
Trump would have thought the Chicago Cubs was a beverage
This guy is a moron
