James Corden asks 44th President of the United States Barack Obama about the stories in his book “Promised Land” that recalled the time he became superstitious on his first campaign trail, as he met people across the country who gave him their good luck charms. And he shares with us what rituals he had before his presidential debates, including what was on his playlist.

    What was on it. A continuation of despicable lies which marked his political career. He is the one who got over. The goal of himself and ilk who are likeminded. Don’t day you never met one,,, you have.

    I loved the story about the charms he got from people. And I totally understand his desire to carry it with him. It’s not about superstition, it’s about carrying the goodwill and good intentions of people whom he has affected, and using it to lift his spirits and remind himself what it’s all about.

    He is so well spoken, which is such a stark contrast to the former guy. Obama is a breath of fresh air in a world full of toxic political pollution.

    i don’t think Obama talks too slow. I think that’s why he won. A fast talker is lying.

    You know what I find funny and what I completely agree with……All the recent video whether James Corden or not still titles the video “President Obama…………..”. I shall always tell myself that the president of the united States is Barack Obama (and I’m not even American lol). The gentleman is just simply amazing.

    3:21 The moment James fell in love, fully. Realizing he was completely taken; totally lost, in the sea of Barak Obama’s charm and wit.

    We’ve all been there James, my boy. For me, it happened over and over. Inaugural dance… Singing Marvin Gaye… Beige suit… Basketball… Jogging… Surfing… Playing with Beau… Not taking shit from Putin… Talking about his wife and daughters. Yes… we have all smiled, whilst shifting our seated position, sighing and feeling warm all over. A respectful, platonic, but somehow still very romantic love.

    what a beautiful story about people giving him things of luck-whether you are superstitious or not, that is carrying the good wishes of people. and i love that he can laugh about himself getting into a groove with his earbuds in 🙂

    F Obama. He accomplished nothing except bragging about killing Usama, which he didn’t (the soldiers did). And after the disappointment and failed hopes he left the public life and went having fun with his rich and famous friends and went writing books about how good a president he was.

    44’s depth of thought, critical thinking skill and ability to clearly verbalize his thoughts is such a contrast to 45’s! Real substance to this man as opposed to a fraudulent reality TV personality. Unfortunately it seems a significant segment of the American population thinks views reality TV as real.
