“You need to vote because our democracy depends on it. ... Just a glance at recent headlines should tell you this moment really is different," he said. |

I watched some of it when he was delivering it, so agree with him.

I'm really glad that Obama has chosen to stay a part of the political scene. He could have so easily rested on his laurels and gotten out of the nasty business of American politics or have taken a more active part of international/world affairs at the U.N. perhaps.

Thanks for posting the video of his speech The Inspector. It's heavenly to hear someone speak with such grace and actually being able to complete full sentences. |

This is a REAL President!!  ....Not the Foolish Donkey in office now.... Mr Obama is a wise man.... I do no have to point out what I think Trump is.... 
I miss the days of sanity and stability... When I go to bed now.... I just wonder will I wake to a war?? or worse? When Mr. Obama was POTUS.... I never worried....

Obama cares about his country and democracy enough to jump back into the political fray to add his voice of reason. 
So different from Trump, who cares about nothing except himself and who, in my opinion, is mentally deranged.  |

when I say he has mental illness (Trump) I not making joke nor I making political comment from the Left.... I honestly feel in my professional diagnostic opinion that Mr. Trump suffers from mental illness and is no fit to fulfill duties as POTUS. |

Thank you for posting Obama's speech, The Inspector. I watched the whole thing and loved it. I'm so glad he is speaking out for America. I feel much better now. I hope young people will vote en masse. We need to save our democracy.

Obama hit all the right points. How the Right has pushed apathy and distrust of government and the "my way or the highway" thinking all of which can destroy a Democracy.
In a Democracy things take time and you just have to keep working on making thing better.
People like tramp are Democracy destroyers and what you get is a dictator. If he is successful in the destruction.

I hope young people will vote en masse. We need to save our democracy. I saw the video a couple hour's ago on PBS News Hour, which is available on Youtube. I also feel better after seeing President or First lady Obama speak, they are so positive and good, which is the polar opposite of what we have currently in the WH. |

Totally agree, I appreciate his much needed efforts to right the ship. |

I'm glad he's filling the void. There are no potential candidates strong enough to step up just yet and he can't be reelected so he's a lesser target for the right. I'm hoping for some sort of media dialogue between he and Trump...what a contrast. After the November elections, the left will begin ripping itself apart while the right remains below ground in their trumpholes. I hope, for unity's sake, we find a leader quickly.
