Barack Obama: The 2020 60 Minutes interview

I like how Obama has a vocabulary.

I grew up in a conservative household and I was 12 years old when Obama took office. I remember my mother crying, out of fear, because the media had convinced my parents that Obama would destroy this country. I have a visceral remembrance of this amongst other things that my dad had told me about liberals and the left and how bent on destruction they were for the US. When Obama spoke on the news, my dad wouldn’t even watch it. He’d either turn it or go to the other room. So much anger. But despite this — and despite being conservative myself at the time — I couldn’t help but watch Obama speak when he gave speeches. I really enjoyed them and the way he described the state of the nation, the feeling in his voice, the eloquence, and the confidence he gave off. Despite my parents telling me it was all a charade and that he came off arrogant, I still enjoyed watching Obama talk and couldn’t help but feel reassured. The man has flaws, like all politicians — and humans, but Obama was a great statesman. No doubt in my mind.

That is part of the problem. Everyone is more concerned with keeping their seats rather than making a good decision for their state and our country.

Barrack has shown that an ordinary person can achieve in life by means of education and hardwork. He is one of the person who i admire a lot. What a personality he's got ! If lot of kids get inspired by barrack, we all would have a fantastic world. He's a great role model.

“This democracy doesn’t work without informed citizens”

The further a society drifts from the truth...the more they will hate those who speak it.

He keeps his calm ..total respect 🙏

I completely forgot that Barack Obama has such a smooth voice.

"We are just temporary occupants of this office; it's up to us to leave the instruments of democracy at least as strong as we found them."

No offense and very off topic, but the interviewer sounds like he’s the voice behind the fitnessgram pacer test

I my humble opinion this man was the greatest president in United States in my lifetime. He thinks before answering. He reflects on his own limitations.

i miss when politicians were eloquent, mature, and not clout chasers

Obama would never get away with behaving like Trump.

wow, a president that says "we" and "us"

" You Give Me All The Hard Questions u dont ask Joe none of the hard questions" Donnie Brasco

This was the election I lost everything for helping the best leader. The people that hate came after me every day. I knew what I was getting into. I stand by what my heart and mind tells me. Obama was the best choice.

Unfortunately, those that need to see / hear this don’t watch 60 Minutes.

When you wish the interview was actually 60 minutes!!!

A great interview, Thank You. I wasn’t too sure about my opinions about this president when he was a candidate. Once elected I became absolutely certain he was not only a good president, he cared about the job and our country. Those who speak to divide us as a citizenry, do us no service. We cannot escape the fact that we are in part responsible for negative outcomes and are not helpless in the face of them. If we chose only to act out of anger and disassociation we chose to unleash the powers that destroy from within. Rather we should accept our own responsibility to create positive outcomes. Quite frankly, otherwise we are simply shooting ourselves in our own foot, so to speak.

God I loved this man!! Obama is a class act through and through
