Imagine believing Obama isn't U.S. born. Sily racist birthers.... Americas is for everyone,
"You're drinking your kool-aid in a way I think is troublesome" - Barack Obama, 2020
I miss Obama as president
Exceeded
Try to complete a sentence Obama when speaking. How come you never hear Barack Obama Jokes??? His followers don't think they're funny, while other people really don't think that they're jokes.
The actually michael clearly rot because measure notably peep toward a nine hydrogen. raspy, mysterious jogging

He's basically trying very hard not to call Donny T all the things he is. Composure. Nice.

I thought Stephen was going to ask him if he wanted a BJ.
It's no wonder the Obamas are doing well. They haven't had to pay for accommodation for the last 12 years! 8 years in the White House, 4 years living rent free in Trump's head. 😁😁😉 Thank you President Obama. Thank you being you Sir.
🙈🙉🙊🐴🐴🐂🐃💩💩🤡🤡
Too all the people that are impressed with his vocabulary, hope you learn Chinese your going to need it .
I can tell Barack needed an anger translator for some of this. I appreciate the measured responses but man, how does he really feel about the Orange Menace and his failure in 2020. And "what happens now" from Colbert - little was it expected to be a rush on the Capital building by Drumpf die-hards
When Obama said "exceeded" a chill went down my spine and I almost teared up.
@question You sound like your repeating someone else's thoughts. Were do you get your info. from? Unless your constantly digging into everything on your own.
@zhugedai 12 Quite simply, any of those strikes on foreign soil had no legitimacy because US involvement in the 'wars' in those countries was no legitimate. However, Obama has declared on a number of occasions that he is in support of military action in foreign countries to defend US interests. This is militaristic corporatism of the type that Eisenhower warned about. Forcing people into 'freedom' or bombing them into democracy are ludicrous notions.
@question i'm starting to wonder if i keep replying to you how long I can keep bringIng your attention back. i Don't even know why we are talking. you seem to think I'm some kind of Obama supporter, or maybe someone who knows what they are talking about. so.. lets contiNue. i don'T know what you mean by initial legitimaCy, are you saying he wAs just Randomly attacking people without cause? or saying that he was making the judgements himself as to whether he should attack peoplE or not.
@zhugedai 12 no. You seem to be missing a very basic point. The drone strikes have no initial legitimacy. Making tenfold drone strikes is worse, regardless of how you'd like to paint this technological marvel. Also Obama's administration counted all drone deaths as legitimate unless it could be explicitly proven otherwise. So effectively those people were guilty until proven innocent, and summarily executed.
@question Okay, you are ignoring a lot of relevant info. such as changes in technology over the years, resource availability, targets and their locations, changing situations over the years in the area of conflict, etc. Different presidents would have different numbers in all kinds of categories because of these changes. Presidents in more modern time periods would have higher collateral damage from drones than past presidents because of the increase in drones in warfare in general. Such as the progression from biplane bombers which would have had massive collateral to later attack aircraft with a greater advance in technology to allow for more surgical strikes to drones which allow remote usage elimating a need for a pilot to be at risk, and a smaller payload to accomplish the same task as a larger one in the past because of more accurate methods of target identification, etc. If I give you a crude axe to cut paper vs modern scissors you'd be able to cut more accurately and at a faster rate with the scissors. You'd be able to accomplish more, the amount of paper cut would be higher, and eventually the amount you accidentally cut when making accidents would surpass the amount mistakenly cut by the axe which is crude for the task. Does that make you a bad cutter for using scissors when access are available? No, your be wise for using scissors even though your scintillate me mistakes because scissors themselves are not perfect but are an advance of other tools made for cutting.
Jon, I know you, as well as any human , have your moments of doubt and your dark days. Just know, in those times, that you have uplifted so many others by your effervescent smile and beautiful music. You have brought a wide grin to so many faces, and a moment of pure joy with your music. Let this sustain you. You are loved by so many. Thanks!
This is just a sad reminder of what a presidents is and the hell we've been living in the last 4 years!

Obama for President!!! (again)
sycophants
@seigeengine whataboutism
Have you ever seen Trump supporters?
TRUMP IS IMPEACHED, He's the BEST at being impeached!!
I've heard of social distancing, but come on. They're in two separate time zones FFS.
Obama/Biden's For Profit Wars killed over 500,000 innocent Syrians, turned Libya into a failed state with slave trade and sex trafficking and starved children to death in Yemen through siege warfare. Obama/Biden blocked Americans from life saving Medicare for ALL. Obama makes a joke of Black people lead poisoning in Flynt Michigan. Somehow Democrats want us to believe Trump and Republicans are always the problem. Democrats, a Party of clueless consumers and World Class Sociopaths. Neoliberal Corporate news, Joseph Goebbels contribution to society.
And now for reality. The Assad regime sparked a civil war in Syria that has killed 400-600k people, only about 100k of which were civilians. Maybe you missed the part where Trump publicly stated he was keeping troops in Syria to protect oil, which they then authorized a deal between a newly founded Republican company to go and develop? What was that about "for profit wars," again? Unrest in Libya was responded to by the Gaddafi government with brutal suppression, leading to escalating revolt, ending with the UNSC voting to take action. On that basis, the US got involved. Once the Gaddafi government was dealt with, Libya was unable to perform normal state functions as a result of the conflict damaging the country. The Libyan government requested the US maintain it's presence for an additional year. Obama wanted the US to maintain it's presence for an additional year. Congress rejected the proposal, forcing the US to pull out, resulting in the failure of Libya and all those consequences. Except, it wasn't "congress." It was Republicans. Democrats voted 115 for, 70 against. Republicans voted 8 for, 225 against. THE CURRENT STATE OF LIBYA IS THE FAULT OF REPUBLICANS. The starvation in Yemen is basically exclusively caused by Saudi Arabia. The US contributions to the naval blockade is focused on ensuring ships aren't trafficking weapons into Yemen. Saudi Arabia are the ones destroying food production and preventing humanitarian aid. Furthermore, basically all of this happened during Trump's administration, and despite congress voting to end US support, Trump vetoed it. In what way did they block Americans receiving medicare for all? In what way did Obama make a joke of black people being poisoned with lead? Was it when he drank the water to try to calm people down and minimize panic? No. Democrats want you to believe the reality that Trump and Republicans are the BIGGEST problems. Democrats are flawed, but they consistently prove they generally are concerned with the welfare of average working class Americans. Republicans consistently lie to the poor and then turn around and steal from the working class and pass it along to the rich. The screeching at the end was just dumb.
Please, let this white man kiss you.
If Covid happened during his presidency it would have ended like swine flu but much worse due to the fact covid is far easily spread
He’s going to jail. Among many.
It's funny how all these liberal dudes claiming to fight against the power literally look like comic book villains lol Colbert cant wait til the 'capable' Joe Biden takes the oval office. Holy shit haha man sometimes you know its bullshit if you laugh at your own lies
So you've clearly never opened a comic book in your life.
I’m sure Obama would have handled it better. What a joke.
Funny how people are fooled by this clown, people sure love their wanna be celebrities, especially if they appear smooth and suave. SAD!
This was a great president I never cared about politics until he got in
Sorry.. most of American social media organisations are legal ( terror hub of misinformation). It's a concern..

Trump is not president material, we all agree on that. But Obama to me has always came across as style over substance. He looks good and can talk the part.
@Ross L The only specific thing you mentioned was him drinking the water in Flint, which was done to try to quell public fear, not protect big business, and is really completely irrelevant to what I asked. Would you like to try again?
@seigeengine He lacked substance. His slogan was change yet he struggled to marginally change anything for the better in 8 years. He enhanced the surveillance state, failed to make healthcare more affordable, was pretty indecisive I’d say when it came to foreign policy and his economic policies were overrated and gave too much protection to Wall Street. He was not a strong leader and I don’t believe possessed the virtues he first presented in himself. Case in point when he visited Flint and he ‘drank the water’ protecting big business. He did have over 200 lobbyists be part of his administration after all. He was charismatic and a great talker but middle of the road probably inside a presidential power ranking.
Kay. What substance did he lack? Be specific.
YO! WHO IS TAYLOR SWIFT'S TATTOO ARTIST /:(

President Trump gave the order to kill Soleimani a few days following a Hezbollah mob's attacks on the United States' embassy in Baghdad a little more than one year ago today. Not long after the attack was carried out, it was revealed that Israel planned to take out Soleimani back in 2015 but the Obama administration put an end to the plan. Just as Israel was "on the verge" of killing Soleimani, the Obama administration alerted Iranian officials about Israel's plans and their close tracking of the military leader.
Weird how when I look that up, nothing comes up, huh?
President Trump achieved a lot more than Obama in 8 years! Obama nominated the largest share of judges than any President in US history, he will be remembered as the President who lost South China Sea and failed!
He called it World Wrestling Federation!
Professional Con is why you are are all Gaga over him. You all just hate the President so much that you’d rather have any puppet elected. Get ready for socialism! #Sellout #Chinatakeover
Meanwhile, in reality: Trump has basically spread the cheeks for every foreign dictator he's come across, and has blatantly corrupt ties to China.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Haven't we heard enogh from and about Obama?? Any more is nauseating
I tell my GP, my uncles, and my Dad that I love this man everytime and they answer me with "We do, too, sweetie" everytime.
Former president*
guess he would have preferred how he handle his own pandemic...wait months after people started dying before calling it an emergency..or how Biden was the first months, saying Trump was exaggerating the problem, that there was no threat and no reason to close down travel. But the common problem with libtards is their short memories and attention spans...like they already forget it was during Trump presidency that a working vaccine was made in record time. Enjoy being screwed by the new administration and they push for longer lock downs and higher taxes libtards.
You really are just bullshitting everywhere huh?

A very smart articulate president. But also a weak and apologetic president.
lol, in what ways was he weak and apologetic?
Awesome top notch 👍✌️
This was amazing made me forget about the problems and made my smile till my checks hurt thank you obama and Colbert
Trump cheated... Quit sitting there lieing.. This why i don't like politics

If either Barack or Michelle Obama told me they adored me I think I would collapse in on myself like a dying star.

What a joke you are lmao.
Barak Obamas stand up career is going well I see
I would be interested in seeing what President Obama could or would do if he were to be sworn in for another term of presidency in January.
9min in you mean the people know about the cabal &that Democrats cheated
No such thing, and it's the Republicans that cheated.
Two of the most EVIL people right there
And where'd you get that idea? Zero points if you start screeching that I should "do my research" or some other such cult misdirection.
Jon Batiste is the highlight of any day he says hello. More Jon! Stephen! (oh come on, you know we love you too.)
Can't puncture the truth... Witnesses galore reporting major fraud. when you have 10's of 1000's of witnesses it's a little hard to write it off as a conspiracy theory.
Weird how there's no reliable evidence of anything of the such.

Would be great if more people understood body language! They may be able to see through BS , lol. Pathetic. Go ahead , blow up the comments , lol.
@seigeengine Wow , im impressed. Only 1 response and its intelligent, rather than just screaming obscenities and calling me names ! Cheers to you !
Friendly reminder that every two-bit loser thinks they can "read body language." In reality they just have a pre-existing belief and read that into other people's behaviour.
They forgot there masks.
@Franck R Airborne transmission is infection spread through exposure to those virus-containing respiratory droplets comprised of smaller droplets and particles that can remain suspended in the air over long distances (usually greater than 6 feet) and time (typically hours). Per -cdc We need to stay safe guys or lives won’t be saved.
Maybe you did not see how far away they seat?
BIDEN CHEATED. YOU'RE NEVER STEPPING FOOT BACK IN. AND TRUMP IS STILL GOING TO BE PRESIDENT CAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO GITMO
@Kristen Kelley Then how come 3 lakh Americans are dead ? Were they eaten by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton just like Qanon supporters say. We should be listening to leading epidemiologists around the world rather than Trump with no medical qualifications.
Weird how it actually looks like everything Trump accused Biden of may have actually been done by the Republicans. It's almost like literally everything he says is projection.
@Sunil Nair it is a hoax The flu kills oh wait we finally found a cure... covid. If anyone lied about covid it was China and the left. Ppl have died yes but how many of those that died are from left ran cities where they stuck covid patients in nursing homes? You're not selling me wolf tickets just like trump's never going to Gitmo Fauci might sense he said no mask, mask, no mask, mask.
You are right. But Trump should also go to Gitmo for killing 3 lakh Americans by saying that Covid was a hoax.
It's called COGNITIVE DISSONANCE. Trump could have won his re-election if he communicated the implications of covid and asked his supporters to wear masks and social distance. The economy did not do badly under Trump until covid but his response to covid made covid worse. Made him lose the presidency and made the economy worse. At the end of the day, you can't give what you don't have. And Trump made himself lose and he lost. Character matters in anything we do.
Obamas been to all 52 states except HI and Ak
What was his Swine flu response? Do nothing and hope
At least Obama didn't say that swine flu was a republican hoax.

Truth Beholds. 20-20 vision in 2020. Trump has exposed the SIN of them.. and it disturbed their corrupt-political hive! ..and now they're using 'weapons' (including the virus which also caused the "delayed" election results, as leverage) to attack the Right Side for exposing them. Trump wouldn't have to do this, if it weren't for people like corrupt-as-SIN joe BLOW compulsive-liar-biden , or O'fkn'fake'bama trying to take over (hijack) & degrade & demoralize the USA. The consequences of Soros's "generous" philosophy and those implications on the world (among many other "enablers"..), is the main reason why the US and the world is so corrupt.. (Money allows for too much, too quick; "Haste makes waste" & "Don't feed the wild animals") The "bear-false-witness-news" doesn't want you to hear about such DEEP SIN going on... You can also give 'thanks' to the far-left-sided mind-washing-media for accumulating this mess upon the people a long long time ago!.. Trump already exposed the SIN of them.. and he has an entire alphabet of plans set in action. Trump is wiping up the filthy corrupt SIN-SWAMP before it gets worse. ~ Truth Beholds. 20-20 vision in 2020. REAL FACT: joe biden lied about his college record, plagiarized college work, and speeches, etc.. - quote from joe in 1988: "I've done some DUMB things, and I'll do DUMB things again."...well, that's NOT a very confident/competent demeanor for a "LEADER", now is it? ..anyway, in direct response to this Exceedingly-Shitty video, it seems likely that since fake-as-fuck-Obama is a far lefty, fake-as-fuck-Obama is one of the fanatics behind all this SINFUL mess that's being thrown against Trump and the right side. Trump has exposed the SIN of them. Truth Beholds. 20-20 vision in 2020.
Canada has a little thing called universal healthcare and I'm pretty sure they've implemented a universal basic income - the things Obama kind of never delivered on, and that Joe Biden said he wouldn't even try to implement because.... well why would he? You don't have to promise much of anything when your main theme is, "I'm not the other guy"
We do not have a UBI, although a study recently done in Europe somewhere showed that a UBI does not decrease worker participation. It's still on the fringe of policy. Things that need more testing. We do get money every year due to certain taxes that are redistributed to everyone though? Maybe you're thinking of that.
His swagger is off the charts! He's the Porche of Presidents!
What a devastating analysis of the trump administration under Covid-19. How can people ignore this?
So nice to hear an eloquent (ex-)president talk. Missed you, mr. President!
I echo that sentiment!
bgworld.info/section/video/pLa11cmUZ5CByXM.html
Stephen Colbert is such a funny and delightful person, blessed that this man is in a position of leadership! Obama too! :)
Seriously “we don’t have to worry about the bills” coming from a man that left office with 43 million and is still racking in big bucks. Again, I say REALLY!!!! He thinks all he has to do is say something and it then becomes the truth. Sorry but some of us can remember his years in office. We didn’t “drink the koolaide “.
Imagine if you had the balls to give a single criticism of him instead of yacking.
"Shambolic nature of the government's response" says President Obama. Yet... Per capita deaths are higher in Belgium, England, Spain and Italy. Obama is THE most divisive president in US history.
@seigeengine I love that he's African American. But why bring up race?
Novel viruses are not a per capita thing, and the only thing divisive about Obama is him being black.

Good interview. I liked Obama here and it closed well.
The vocabulary that Mr. Obama throws out so clearly and effortlessly is just so lovely to hear. I love how he thinks carefully before speaking. Just listening to him is cathartic.
colbert is interviewing him like he’s a an old man he hasn’t seen in a long time and doesn’t know what to say... he’s uncomfortable and awkward
