Barack Obama In Talk With Trevor Noah!
What happens when two enormously talented people and popular figures in their completely disparate fields, the elder statesman 23 years older than his young interviewer, converse with each other?
I have listened to Barack Obama's many inspiring speeches, enjoying the way he speaks so fluently as well as how he employs his rich vocabulary and chooses the right words to articulate his thoughts on a variety of topics. He was the first African American to become the most powerful man in the world at the mellow age of 48 years as the president of the United States in 2009.
I am also an admirer of Trevor Noah's witty talk shows and how he stormed into the hearts of millions of people in US, after arriving there in 2014 from Johannesburg, at the rather young age of 30. And his meteoric rise to fame, in another four years, to become one of the hundred most influential people in the world, as per Time magazine.
As school children, both of them had varied struggles and life experiences that transformed their world views. Obama was born to a White American mother and a Black Kenyan father in Honolulu, Hawaii and from age six to ten lived in Jakarta, Indonesia. He returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents and graduated from high school in 1979.
On the other hand Trevor Noah, a Colored man born to a White father and a Black mother, grew up under the shadow of his parents' illegal interracial relationship under the apartheid law in South Africa.
In this no-holds-barred, witty, and scintillating discussion Noah brings out the innate charm of Obama. Unlike his prepared speeches on most occasions, here the normal and ordinary Obama shines through, striving for the right words to answer the insightful and challenging questions that Noah throws at him.

Here you also see a mature and retired Obama talking about the frustrated and impatient days of 2010s when he was the under-pressure President grappling with the challenges of an inherited legacy and expected to deliver solutions to several world problems.
These are explained in full detail in his phenomenal book “A Promised Land” that enables us ordinary folks, to occupy the Presidential chair at the White House and get a ring-side view of the happenings; or fly around in the Air Force One to meet a slew of world leaders and observe their egos and idiosyncrasies at close quarters.
