Man, after watching a period of coverage of this year elections...I go back to these events....to ensure...my mind doesn't get warped and set this year's lack of class as the baseline for the Presidency What a time
After yet another day of hearing about Trump's latest outrage and insanity, it's nice to watch this and remember when I could feel proud of our president instead of the constant shame and confusion I've felt the past 3 years.

You made this comment 10 years ago and reading it today its refreshing to see respect and decency for "the other side" And then il ask myself... What happend? Reading it again... its just sad.
Wow. Says a lot about how things have descended into the gutter that this speech as well as Mitt Romney's are lightyears ahead in terms of civility and goodwill (even though the campaigns, especially Romney's, were not exactly civil). Worth noting that while I am absolutely not a HIllary supporter, I have to admit that the responsibility for the gutter-like quality of this year's speeches is squarely with The Donald.

Oh do we need him now more than ever I know with every inch of my being the troubles we’re now going through would not be as bad if President Obama was in office
No. He's a great speaker. And he often submits entire speeches for editing/rework. But rarely does he give a major speech exclusively written by himself. He hired a top flite team of writers across both terms, and even to this day, to help him create his speeches. He's an amazing man, one I wish was still our president. But not that amazing (hired joke writers to join his team for this speech and several others thru the campaign year).
@@gentlemanjim480 - granted, his oratory was best-in-class. But Obama is in that class. Obama was more multi-dimensional (vs. Churchill's highly dramatic oratory) - he could speak at the level of many audiences. But only Churchill was so greatly tested. On oratory alone, Obama was his match if not his superior. But overall, Churchill pulls ahead. Of course, IMO.
@@davidcarter2720 Of course you are right - no question about that! I do think that Obama had much more input in his speeches as president, and was more on top of the detail than many other US presidents, but he also had very talented speech writers (whom he publicly acknowledged). Churchill was under more pressure (though Obama had more than his fair share), but wrote all the major speeches himself, sometimes against advice he received. When he flew to the US and gave a dramatic speech which was brilliant, the US president asked how on earth he managed to get someone to write that on the plane to the US. The response the US president received was "no - he rolls his own", meaning that he writes his own speeches and wrote that one himself as well. But that does not diminish presidents who had help - Churchill was rather unique. On the oratory, Churchill's voice did not help, Obama was brilliant.... but also don't forget that the way speeches were delivered, and what sounded normal and statesmanlike, was different in the 1930s and 1940s as compared to now. in any event, don;'t get me wrong, I love Obama and always have.
Exceptional post, jamraak - logical and well said appreciation for the man that is every American's president, his hard work and absolute dedication to America and Americans!
This man had everything ! Class...eloquence...empathy...a wonderful sense of humor..education...intelligence. He was brilliant. Charisma. He made people smile wth hos presence. That we should have such a leader again would be a blessing. No wonder that present orange chunk of blubber envied him.
what kind of empathy did he have for the azissis who he could have saved from isis. how much empathy for christians oppressed in muslim countries . for american workers.
He is working for the israel lobby . And holocost for the world is well planned and the universe shared the info and loafs more. Now do you still like him - obama❤
We were blessed that he kept our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and didn't bring them home as promised, and then got us into 5 new conflicts, and doubled our national debt, and broke his promise of renegotiating our treaties to our favor, and broke his promise of bringing manufacturing back to the US, and assassinated 2 US citizens, including a 16-year-old, by drone, without due process, and broke his promise of keeping lobbyists, and Washington insiders, out of his administration, and Obamacare didn't make our monthly insurance premiums the same price as our monthly cell phone bill.
There could not be a starker difference between two presidents. One, a great orator, with a great sense of humor and wit, able to pull in the audience, the other we're just happy that he's not sniffing glue and pushing the button.
@@jamessilver6429 LOL... you're a funny dude. An effing moron, but a funny dude. Tell me 5 things that Trump did better than Obama, just 5. I could give you a list of 50 things that Obama did better than Trump, but I'll just ask for 5.

I would like to welcome everyone to my last White House Correspondents Dinner, well, it may be THE LAST White House Correspondents Dinner. Hahaha Then he proceeds to bust on everyone... Biden, Hilary, himself, and especially... Trump! Overall, really really good

A POTUS with sense of humour, can laugh at himself and not go into a petulant strop. Good looking , cool, faithful and competent and tried very hard to get things done in bipartisan way. Oh how the world misses him. Drumpf can’t stand that he cannot compete with the better man....we’ll drumpf is technically male.
Wow! Back in the day when a President could speak in clear, coherent, concise (and grammatically correct!)sentences! As an English major and a librarian, my ears don't know what to think!!!
I was really enjoying that till I realized it's hosted and he complimented the Catholic Church. I can overlook that, but I have always said, the Catholic church is solely responsible for tens of millions of humans suffering on this planet. Our immigration issue right now is proof of that.
And now, in 2022… it is terrible that we remember stuff like this as not a recent joy, but a long-past era. One that apparently will not return in our lifetime.
“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”

The same, my friend. And I highly doubt it is just the two of us. Hopefully, with Biden in the Oval Office, now, we can take a moment to breathe and maybe not spend every waking moment in terror. All the same, these videos are still relaxing, and I can only hope that as a nation, we can return to a time like the one depicted in this video. All the best to you. ^_^
