Have you notice the difference in Obama supporters vs Trump supporters?
Obama draws international support while Trump draws national support.
Yeah
But honestly I don’t think hell win this election
yeah I mean conservatives don't destroy things when they lose
@S Robin no, they do have evidence. Even if this is wrong you guys blamed Russian Collusion for the 2016 elections why can't we claim what we want?
at a time when the world respected the US... now, the laughingstock of the world
The World rejoiced when Obama became POTUS.
A lot people are visiting the obama videos reminiscent of the good times.
did it?
Now America's a joke lol
Suffer with me Subaru not lol. Not lol at all. It’s dangerous.
Fuck subaru
no
This gives me chills ....why can't we go back to that time!??
I wish =\
I dont understand why other countries care who won but it was the best 8 years of sleep I ever had. Now we wake up and go to bed with the same ORANGE NIGHTMARE!
SHEILA Miller Please, don’t remind me of our country’s ongoing nightmare...
other countries' care because American, Russian and Chinese foreign policy influences the entire globe. you'll know once you travel to a foreign nation
@@DotiVirtuoso : Russians only in military influence, China is in economy influence, while USA is in both military and economy influences.
@@upahtv not true, China, soon to become the richest country on earth will have remarkable cultural influences too.

trump will never have this
That's why he is so jealous of Obama.
😥 miss him SO much. Come back Mr. President. Please 😭.
When America was Great! Good old memories
It's crazy how much the US's international reputation suffered since then, especially with our closest partners.
Trump election we're the exact same
Just replace the cheering with crying
Exactly. When President Obama was elected , all my friends around the world Congratulations to us. After Trump was elected, they wished for us Good Luck, you all going to need it.
America misses President Obama now more than ever.😔 He was probably better than we deserved.😔😔
America deserved the best. That's why Barack Hussein Obama became POTUS!
@@brucebartman9890 Wait...what?
America is still great despite the Orange Moron!
When Trump was president, I didn’t think we were going to make it out alive
Now in 2020 we are the laughing stock of the world
trust the rest of the world to let the usa know if they’ve fucked up or not! look at this compared to the anti-trump marches lmaoooooo it really is amazing
true
I have never seen anything like this before , my heart is swollen with pride as a black woman.
Biden/Harris 2020.
They do care about who our leader is! Obama was great!
we will miss obama so much
he was the best one to be in that election
we love him when he was a president!!!
God Bless all of The Obama Family!!
The demons don't like you doing that ....you worship Satan
@@ahoymyboy3364 And you are a hater and a half assed bullshit artist!
Vote Biden for président USA 2020 Yes
Those faithful persevered and probably worked so long and hard for President Obama. Yep, visiting these videos for happier times in America.
Many folks don't realize how much the world pays attention to the presidential elections in the United States. They surely do pay attention - all over the world.
That's nice ...Obama parties in other countries t!
Yes we can✌
Everyone had such hope then ....
This was a hopeful moment. Now our moments are vindictive and bitter. America needs hope and idealism now, before it is forever lost.
When you have other countries celebrating our us wins ❤
I didnt think they cared. .wow
This was something to be proud of ...i was thrilled
For today! 2020
Joe Biden for world too
UK can have him!
Clap for the worst president ever!
Look at all that white guilt.....TRUMP USA USA USA!!!!
Hill brothers theres no guilt! U should feel guilty! And trump is definitely guilty! Hes got blood on his hands that he cant spin away! Cheating is the only way hell take back the wh!
@@oldfogey4679 Usually Old Fogey, With age comes wisdom....Sorry about your luck.
@@Maicoczpenton I'm sorry about ur lack of brains perhaps if ud ask the wizard of oz mite give u a functional brain! Because anyone with a brain can see how horrible a prez trump is! He needs ouster asap!
@@oldfogey4679 This is the internet...You are free to post any and all of your mindless thoughts here on your president...HOWEVER, thats where i'm out... I'm a true American and I will not stand for any anti American speech. I understand that 2016 was tough on you liberals as you're still claiming that he cheated in your first post...LMAO.....but just wait for this next election.... the TRUMP CRUSH is coming!!! Get your second wind of tears ready Old Fogey...hahaha. Peace out.
@@Maicoczpenton u are not a true patriot! A true patriot reveres the constitution which trump has trashed! So there! And if the world oversees the election and the integrity of the election is upheld trump will be ousted! He cant win honestly!
Worst day in American history 😪
