I must say this is the first time I saw OBama enjoying himself in public. It is nice to see that side of him. Of course this video was done a long time ago before things got really nasty for any politicain. We are all human no matter who we are.We all need a good time once in a while!
-
oh, and that applies to racism as well. everyone just pays too much attention and people saying things like "obama is my nigga" do not help the situation in any way.
-
i'm going to be honest, i dont like Obama and never have. It is not a racial thing at all. Its not a rightwing brainwash thing either.
I dont like the idea of a president. He is just an elected dictator, checked by other branches of dictators. Yet, i dont believe in complete anarchy.
I dont know what i believe in yet, but i know that if we took a break from politics for a minute and let poetry and art take over, we could all rest peacefully and kick back in a state of serenity. Pure beauty.

Obamas pauses are all wrong, what happened to his intelligent and riveting speeches?
-
who wrote this stupid speech, you can tell he didn't, lol
-
You and everyone you represent, should really think more. You and everyone you represent, should really move on. He is everyone's president, native, black, white, asian, immigrant, illegal and you racists, too! Please don't be a sheep only being led about, but read and seek greater understanding. The bible says to study to show yourself approved. It originally meant; Thou Shalt Not Commit Murder, not kill. But, you support the death penalty, don't you?

Guys stop with the hater comments on Obama and his family. This video and this series is about poetry and the talented performers who participate. If you have problems with the president way of handling the nation please post elsewhere. Lets try to keep the comments on topic.

Between your president (I'm not American), the opening performers, James Earl Jones and people like Lin-Manuel Miranda, there are so many role-models in just this series to choose from... people need to look beyond the crap that the advertisers foist upon them (Bieber and boy and girl bands and hip-hop "stars" that only talk about "hos")... so much to choose from, so much to learn.

i love the obama family. They are scrutinized because of their skin color more times than not and still they smile and keep it moving.
