I remember in 8th grade, all students were allowed to skip their current class to go down to the history class rooms where they had TVs playing his inauguration. Teachers explained the significance of this day but a lot of us wouldn’t appreciate what it meant until we were older. 4 years later I was lucky enough to attend his second inauguration
I know this comment is about 4 years old lol but i was in high school and they brought the whole school down to the auditorioum to watch it live even our republican history teacher said im not missing history.
We made history electing an ordinary, average person to run our country. Obama Care is an absolute disaster. Ask any person in the healthcare industry.
Mrs. Sauer, my second grade teacher, rolled a tv into our classroom so we could watch Obama’s inauguration. She explained the significance of this historical moment to us. The image of a black man addressing the nation as president, mirroring the recording of Dr. King’s “I have a dream” speech we had studied weeks before, cemented the fact that there are no constraints to our aspirations. For me, these images instilled a sense of hope in this country that I will never give away.
“A man who’s father less than 60 years ago might not been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath” What a line
I was there! Freezing my butt off about a mile away but a day I will never forget. So many happy people around me; men, women, kids, all different colors and nationalities. Such a positive experience compared to the last few years.
I remember this day… My mom explained to me how historical this was. She told me that President Obama and Mrs. Obama were different, but that’s how God made them. May God Bless the Obamas. Love them or hate them, but they were truly my favorite First Family, and they are still missed by my family to this day.
Aaron Jago when I was a senior in high school i voted for him. i thought Romney wasn't the best candidate. obviously i couldn't vote in 8th grade. I was 18 when obama ran in 2012...
This video makes me so proud to have been one of the millions who gathered in D.C. just a few short years ago to see history in the making. Gotta love it!
I'm 24 now, wish I witnessed in person when I was 9-10 years old these times I miss from school, watched this live with classmates and was so excited as a Mexican-American. God bless America and all those who appreciate freedom!
I remember when I was in High School back in my senior year(2004) when class started my Economics teacher showed us an article about Barack Obama. And my teacher was saying that it's a possibility that he could run for president in the future. Me being a black man I'm like "That's bullshit." But sure enough he ran and became our President. Never underestimate anyone, not even yourself.
I was attending college when this particular moment in American history entered the scene, as I admittedly remember watching this on a plasma screen TV at my respective alma mater, albeit under its last legs as Adirondack Community College, which I currently reside 2.4 miles away from as of now. Here's the channel for my alma mater in its current form: ua-cam.com/users/SUNYAdirondackofficial
I was working at a small country zoo in Northern O ntario when Barak was inaugurated. All staff had to go to the boss's house to watch this. We all went crazy!!!!! It was SOOO awesome!!! It was such a thread of HOPE!! Canadians were so watching this, and so hoping he'd become president, sooo hoping he could unwind the tensions of the US and so many other countries they're involved with. I'll never forget that day. He's been replaced by a game show host who plays the world by his stupidity. Do you have a well supplied bomb shelter?
Ok I dont like Trump because he lied about being pro 2nd amendment. Ill tell you that they showed how much people they had after everyone was in. They compared this to when the crowd for Trumps inaguration juat started, causing it to look like no one was attended.
Just watched the farewell address, thought I'd come back to remember when it started. Regardless of your political stripes, I think we can all agree that this is a great man who will be remembered for decades to come. Thanks, Obama.
I remember sneaking out of my Video Production class to go see this with friends and colleauges on a big projection screen in my Gov. class. Amazing day... amazing memories... And for ONE DAY at my high school, one of the few days in ALL my days there, now graduated- No one yelled, screamed, was angry, or hurt anyone in any way. For one day, our entire diverse (I'm a Californian- I mean REALLY diverse here, you name an ethnicity, and we have folks from it) school... was at peace.
President Obama! You are the best and you've done so much with an obstructionist Congress! I believe in you and still will after you leave the Presidency! Myself and many others around America and the world are going to miss you very much!
I explained it the same way to a fomer Obama supporter when l said that it was AMAZING how much he accomplished despite the fact that he was contending with Republicans who were intentionally trying to destroy him and prohibit him from serving America to the fullest of his ability.
I’ll never forget this day. I was in college for my second degree, and we had a free lunch while we all watched this. Two bald eagles were circling just outside of the amazing city view, which was SO wild. I don’t know if I’ll ever feel this way again.
What I still love, and always loved about Obama's speech is that it came from his heart and mind, he didn't read it, he had it in him. As some one who lives in Europe, I believe this man has been more to America than most previous presidents. No matter what religion he is, or culture, or race. This man can help turn the wor;d around. 4 years is not enough. And this coming from a white South African.
A speech that will be remembered for the ages. Hope over fear, on this on petty things, set a side childish difference, and the god given promise that all are free and deserve happiness
Truly, I must say - as an American (and a military man) - this is a true speech from a great statesman, a great thinker, and a true American... To say anything less of him is simply ignorant. Forget his color, forget his political party, he is one of the strongest leaders my country has EVER had.
the fact that he became the first black president of the great nation is inspiring enough...whatever he did or didn't do..he kept the office for 8years!!!
** SO PROUD OF MY PRESIDENT ** Just had to stop by and see it again! Will be there for you again Mr. President! We did it! 2013 Inauguration: 21 January!
Now I remember that day back in 2009 11 years ago I was in college in Howard University and my friends and family and I were able to attend President Obama ceremony. The full crowd both president terms was a history
I tear up every time I watch this. A truly fantastic day. Thank you President Obama. I am sorry that an ungrateful nation has allowed an agent of Russia to succeed your greatness.
@★ Froggie Animation ★ democrats hate the unborn and advocate late term abortions all the way up to birth. It's doesn't get more awful than that, and these are the kind of people you support and want in power.
It's weird seeing people commenting still. I like to think that this will be seen by a small number of people who stumble across my comment years from now. Who is the president in the time that you're reading this? What are the hot button issues right now for you? This version of me will never get that answer but I'm sure I'll know when that time comes.
God bless you President Barack Obama for keeping the world at peace and uniting all people you are a Great man that will be recognized throughout history thank you for your service for the world in the last eight
I want to remember a time when we americans were proud of our country respect our men who served in tough wars and when we stood proudly to our president no matter what party or race we were proud.
@Duffy63 Stop with your conspiracy bullshit. The UN inspector test them 9 times shown they have successfully compliance with the deal. There is no evidence Iran broke it beside Israel president who want to shit on Iran at every turn Even if trump think the deal is bad he provide no fucking alternative other than to say fuck Obama. He didnt even attempt to renegotiate just say fuck it
President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama!!💙💙💙💙 can't wait for Madam President Kamala D.Harris and Vice President Tim Walz on 1-20-25!!!! Yes She Can!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙
let's see how long the new dumb head going last at least Obama last 8 years u low life if u brain know what half of Obama's it will explode u dumb fuk haye9
When I was younger I was so blindly deceived into thinking he was the best president just by the way he spoke and his skin color. I hope the young people today vote carefully

Writing down this word for the year 2022
I remember being 8 watching this. Glad to be apart of HIStory
The greatest thing I've seen.
This inauguration was on my 2nd birthday. Thank you Barack and Michelle Obama for giving this country a great 8 years.
By far, one of the greatest moments in American history.
It was. I was so very proud of our people.
