#MSNBC #Obama #Documentary
He was a real president I am satisfied with the work he done, now we Have president Joe Biden and Kamala Harris V.P they also will do a great job, who agree with me on this
I think He and Kamla are thugs and poor Joe is just a vegetable
@Brent The other side are insurectionists and covid-19 serial killers (including harming children), due to their intentional pandemic negligence.
@Brian Jones I love them that way, because at least I could trust them, Trump doctrine of lies that cause his followers and supporters attack the Capitol many injured and killed because of lies, so yes I will take my chances with President Joe Biden and Kamala V.P, Trump is a crazy man that needs professional help
Yes, except not Kamala🤣
People around the world are also relieved that Biden is now president of the U.S. Unfortunately your own countrymen do not share the same sentiment, ignore them they are just a toxic cancer of racism and blind political loyalty. Just saying…
Best President to ever run the Country!!!!!( THAT’S WHAT HE DO)!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT… BARACK OBAMA 8 yrs. IN OFFICE…🎇🎆🎁🎂🎊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯👍

“Barack Obama is the first mainstream African American who is bright, articulate, and clean” – Joe Biden
Happy Birthday to President Obama. He meant so much to so many who have never had a voice in our country. He is our first Black president and I hope not our last.
@Bryan and yet he didn’t choose you but Biden
@No Show Joe trump had worse job and economic growth than Obama pre pandemic
Worse stock market gains and records than Obama
Had farm bankruptcies up by 24percent in 2019 with associated suicides
Highest income disparity in fifty years
First president since WW2 to lose net jobs
Lied to American soldiers faces about pay raises
Lied about covid
Sent tons of PPE to china and refused to replace for American medical staff who had to wear garbage bags
Praised China’s response to corona and its transparency 30x plus
Got millions from china for empty office space
@Bud Fudlacker Please refer to me by my first name…
@Gustavo Deugarte Watch it BOY 👦!!!!!!
@Bud Fudlacker i a moron lol
Obama is a real man and leader.. for all people. Intelligent and heartfelt. And honorable without regard to his race! And he appreciates good music 👍
@roof pizza ORANGE MAN BAD!! GRRRRR
@Josh M lol I was just thinking that!
@Russo Vlad english comrade, your handlers will be upset if you keep failing so poorly
@Russo Vlad OK TROLL, we got it TROLL.
@Dora Dennis <<< tRumpTURD found.
“Successful 2 term president” – Uff That shade 😏
“Barack Obama is the first mainstream African American who is bright, articulate, and clean” – Joe Biden
@Bryan relevancy?
@Daniel Olugbodi Well, Bryan certainly doesn’t have any of that!
I still miss him – Happy Birthday Obama!!!
Most of snowflakes do.
One of the best presidents we’ve ever had.
@Daniel F The Financial Crisis/ Great Recession which he inherited was pretty much corrected by the time he left office though.
@Yvonne Plant If I spent $10 TRILLION I could correct it too. Enjoy your inflation tax.
How much of that $10 TRILLION did you get? How much did banks and corporations get while the people lost their homes???
Why not give the people money to pay the banks and keep their homes? The banks got bailouts and the houses.
But hey he spoke good so who cares right?
Most useless, that’s for sure.
@Daniel F you mean trump that jumped debt and deficit
How about trump killed more civilians in 8 months than Obama did in 8 years, wait, I though trump deported more than obama, so…are you a complete loss or just trying too hard
@Josh Briggs trump killed more in drone strikes in 8 months than Obama did in 8 years
He’s Awesome !
I’m so proud of him.
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to President Obama! O, how i pine for the days of his administration. What an inspiration he is.
He filled America with rainbows and unicorns….right? Lol
@Bryan funny Obama Chose Biden and not you
@Bryan what’s up with redumblicans making stuff up?
I agree. He’s a huge inspiration for millions . . . . When we take a dump.
@GENXSIR yes drumpf is, that is why we dumped him
happy birthday Mr. President Obama we always love you we never forget you good man thank you for everything
disgraced trump incited an armed insurrection on january 6 2021 to overthrow a democratic election
@drew mesiano I should take advice from a Jim Jones advocate?
@Bryan and Obama chose that guy and not you, wonder why
@Bud Fudlacker are you saying those arrested are liars, when they said trump told them what to do, bet you are too COWARDLY to say that to the rioters faces
@Bud Fudlacker funny how Democrats have to clean Republican’s messes, the. Get blamed for it
@Bud Fudlacker is that why Biden polls HIGHER than CHEETO BENITO ever did? TRAITOR.
One of the greatest, most accomplished, most intelligent, good-natured, self-effacing, and honest presidents in the history of our great country! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
According to Joe Biden, Obama is also “the first mainstream African American who is bright, articulate, and clean”
@Bryan is that ALL you have to add???
@Bryan Trump wears bronzer every day. 🤣
For me, he’s the best Pres since I was aware (H.W. Bush onward), certainly the most consequential in modern history. *And by most accounts, a genuinely decent human being.*
Lol! Your user name is awesome!!😂🤣👍👍👍
@BC Cue- gonna copyright this username 😂
I’m disappointed there aren’t more Republicans whining in the comments. They must be getting tired.
Most Americans are tired after such a disastrous year it’s been under this admin. Latest Rasmussen poll shows only 29% of voters strongly approve of Biden’s performance.
There is Bryan answering the call.
@Tammy Stockley-loughlin gotta love the UNEDUCATED TRAITORS…
@Mick why they make me wonder if they had been shaken while an infant.
Happy Birthday !!!! Too bad you had to scale down the party. FedEx the cake to everybody. Be well !!!!!!!
Happy 60th birthday President Obama you’re the best more healthy years to come miss you so much❤❤❤🌹🎂
🙏🏻what’s ever happened be worth one on my value, and talked about normal life . I am only civilians and mother.
You are looking Great Sir 👍🙏 God bless ! “The man of Hope “❤
Talk about throwing rocks at glass houses
It was so nice to have a real President like him. After Four years of living in a never ending clown car $hitshow, we once again have a real leader!
