  • A president who can coherently put words together…those were the days.

    OMG! I so miss people who speak with humility, intelligence, compassion, empathy and hope. I wish more American's would listen to these.

    Two Brothers building a House! Together. It's okay to be different, as we are also sooooo alike. Love these gentlemen.

    In 2004, my husband and I moved to Hawaii. I remember watching President Obama (then about to be elected Senator) give his speech at the Democratic Convention. I said to my husband that he needs to run for President. After he won his senate race, he came to Hawaii and the local Democrats set up a get together, which my husband and attended. Michelle snd their girls were also there. I will forever regret not getting my picture taken with him.

    What Bruce said. This country has to recognize not only it’s blessings but also it’s faults to survive. Great interview. Love the friendship between these two great men.

    When I was 17, I used to work at the beach. One of my job duties was to get up early every morning and clean the pools before parents brought their kids to swim. When I sounded the horn and turned on the free jukebox with The Boss and some others, it was like bees coming in to eat honey. The crowds at the pool attracted customers!
  • The world misses president Obama's wise and uplifting messages of unity and democracy.....
  • It so good too see two brothers come together. It don't matter what color they are. It the respect and love that they have for each other. It would be a better world if some people would understand that.
  • @tinaweeaks1792
    They are both so kind, intelligent, and soothing. I could listen to them talk all day.

    My two favorite persons. In high school in the 80s I ordered each and everyone of his records from Colombia records. President Obama I voted twice for him. If he runs again I would vote for him again.
  • @mkurto
    Elitists praising each other. How heartwarming.
  • How wonderful 2 bosses 2 brilliant minds 2 thumbs up and to God be the glory for 2 people 2 different background to have a peaceful relationship🙌🙌
  • What a wonderful interview with two persons who are sane. It is extremely rare these days. Cheers to their friendship!
  • The moment between Bruce and Clarence onstage when they almost touched while playing and Obama said the word “reparations” while he watched, was a feeling of RIGHT ON and tenderness that made watching the 10 minute interview worth it to me. This is what has to touch us. I’m white and love every color of the rainbow 🌈 and every color PERIOD. We are stuck as Americans but like being in a tight closet filled with our own junk, we can get unstuck.
  • Depends upon where you are. If Clarence came to San Francisco, we celebrated him, whether black, white, mixed, purple. He was so wonderful
