I remember sitting on the floor with my classmates watching Obama’s inauguration in first grade. Back then I don’t think it truly hit me how historic this was.
Trump doesn't look presidential on his best days. Likewise, he rarely sounds like a POUTS, as we know. You would think that an (overweight) billionaire would wear better-fitting and tailored suits. Instead, he looks sloppy in clothes seemingly from a clearance rack.

I admittedly feel old in stark comparison to numerous other millennials when this particular U.S. Presidential figure was initially elected into the scene, as I certainly do remember tuning into this particular event when it was showing on a plasma screen TV at my respective alma mater in which I attended college during my respective experiences growing up, which mind you, at this particular point, was under its last legs as SUNY Adirondack, and the alma mater in question that I currently reside from a roughly three miles away from the residence I currently reside in.
Remember the context: This was in the throes of the biggest recession the United States had seen since the Great Depression. We're about to enter a new one in the face of COVID-19. These words need to be heeded more than ever.
The SIZE of that crowd....damn. 0_0 I was in Junior High during his inauguration in 2009, and I remember people took the day off and flew out to be at the inauguration. What a powerful crowd.
It was a difficult time then, and it's a difficult time now. On that day in 2009, I was hosting a client from our marketing firm in NYC. I made a reservation at a place that was showing the inauguration and reserving tables. The place was packed....but it was silent. Everyone in there had their eyes glued to the TV, listening to every word. I never cared about politics. I DIDN'T care about politics. But so many of us wanted change, and Obama's words spoke to so many of us. I had tears streaming down my face at one point, and I couldn't believe how emotional I got. Welp, fast forward to today.....and I'm getting choked up all over again after everything we've been experiencing. I miss Obama. I miss having a President who knew what leadership meant. #VOTE
I remember I was in kindergarten watching this, then he got re elected when I was in 4th grade. now I’m 16 a junior in high school and we’re headed into the 2020 election🥴
I’ve noticed a huge difference between Obama’s inauguration and Trump’s... the crowd. Everyone here seems so calm, happy, and light. The crowd at Trump’s looks and feels very aggressive. It’s eerie.
DJ Noneofyourbusiness well Trump and his base are mad because we had a progressive black president. They know that their way of life is coming to an end, but with Trump in power it’s sustained longed. The evil eerie truth. But come November he will be voted out
@Student Angel Rodriguez exactly man, also now it's unfortunately up to 400,000 :(. Thank god trumps finally gone and I know Biden will do his best to make sure this country is divided as it was under trump.

I vote all the time and value our fore father's . I am also not ashamed of my God . I will fight for peace and pray for you and America . Sincerely , Jonathan Steele Jr .
Obama took away my affordable health insurance (Obamacare), then he gave military weapons to the south American drug cartels (operation fast and furious), then he gave $1.7 billion in cash to Iran and allowed them to start enriching uranium (joint comprehensive plan of action). Then he cut funding for Israel's missile defense. Then he gave Syrian rebels training and weapons and Toyota's to fight Assad, (operation timber sycamore)(Syrian train and equip program) then the rebels magically became ISIS moved into northern Iraq displacing 400,000 people, so obama ordered a massive weapons drop to dead kurdish fighters that went straight to ISIS. That's kinda how I remember it.
@@stokesseegers5012 you forgot how he opened racial wounds amongst the American people! Just because he did with a sophisticated vocabulary does not change the fact that he did it!

@@wildwesley9328 I think it's cool when teachers encourage watching inauguration on TV. I never once saw an inauguration on television in all my years in school. I was 11 years old in 6th grade when the September 11th Terrorist attacks occurred and our teachers didn't even show us that on TV.
I miss having this guy as our president. I was 10 years old when seeing his first inauguration on TV. I'll never forget when we had a true president and not some blond orangutan running our country into the ground.

The politics of unity, responsibility, tolerance, respect, aspiration of ideals, trust, co-operation, care for all, equality, openness, education. Compare this to today.... There IS no comparison. America failed to support Obama, not the other way around. And the legacy?...... is the opposite of all those positive words that describe what Obama stood for.
I have to watch this for project in English. I had to choice a famous speech. I’m only 16 but I’ve followed Obama since he was elected. I think Obama has been my favorite so far.
After Four years of utter nonsense and incoherent sentences it‘s so good to hear an american President who can actually articulate great ideals. And now there finally is such a man in office again.
He will remain the best president the United States ever had he was the greatest president during his presidency humble smart friendly and funny thank you Obama for everything you did for your country and your people
Wow! I was 24 when he got inaugurated the 1st time. Cant believe Joe Biden his VP will be inaugurated in less than 2 weeks. Welcome onboard soon to be Pres Biden!
I love president Obama my favorite president best president ever a real President a real leader a real commander in chief 44obama all day yes we can yes we did two terms back to back a man of hope change and unity president Obama made America great again president Obama fixed and saved America from the Bush distater
A truly historic moment and another 4yrs later. The man is a class act. And his presidency was really the classiest since Kennedy's. Thankfully we again have a REAL President and Vice President back in the White House. 💙🇺🇸
Well, we've had a few solid presidents - I believe FDR was pretty good too. I would definitely put Obama in the upper tier, nonetheless. After all, Obama had to face a level of hostility for at least one aspect that no president before him was subject to. Regardless, history will reflect favorably on Obama as it should.
