    Keep coming back to this speech. 16:00 hits hard. As someone who came out of poverty...he is 100% on point. Help others, not just yourself.

      Obama refused to help black people in his 8 years in office. On making policies to specifically help black people, he said America doesn’t work like that. However, he had the country pay $12M to Holocaust survivors. On the question of reparations for the defendants of African slaves, he said it would be too difficult to do. Obama was 8 years of garbage. Having him speak at my school was a disgrace. Morehouse used to stand for something, but now it just falls for anything. The many changes in policies is evidence in that. The identity of the school has been stripped.

    President Barack Obama's election in 2008 inspired me to enroll in college, Berkeley College, and set a good example for my family, society, and the youth. I'm all about higher education and the exclusive knowledge and skills you gain from it because I want to reach my full potential and be much more than the usual dreams of being a basketball player or rapper. My dreams are the next the C.E.O., or maybe even President of the United States. CONGRATULATION MOREHOUSE CLASS OF 2013

    This speech just changed my life in these short 30 mins. I've been making so many accomplishments in these few years I started to become relaxed not working as hard as I usually do to continue forward. This speech made me remember my drive to proceed getting back on track and becoming the man, father, and future husband I need to be, thank you Barack Obama.

    It's 2022 and I really miss President Obama. It was nice having a leader who spoke with eloquence and carried himself with Presidential bearing and dignity, yet with a sense of self effacing humor and relatable humanity. My fear is that he was the last of the line and we won't have another gentleman scholar as President again.

So in America there is no impossible, there is no unbelievable, and if some one is so strong it is easy to be achievable.

    I saw the ever-present condescending chastisement that seems to be in "great" speech.

    Interesting that you should pick those two segment, because there are perfect BLINDERS for what is said in between them.
    The segment in between highlights the history of disproportionate pain Blacks have suffered, and the acknowledgment of the Pres that his actual policy is not to take disproportionate action to CORRECT the wrongs to make it right
    You think a Jewish President would/could take their people for granted like this?
