I just heard a small portion of this on my NPR and thought I'd post this here for others who would like to hear it. It may be on for a limited time.

BBC Radio 4 - Best of Today, Prince Harry interviews Barack Obama

So good to hear Barack and his kind and smart/wise words.

Hope I'm not posting something that already has been posted.

Some very perceptive comments

“All of us in leadership have to find ways in which we can recreate a common space on the Internet,” Obama said in an interview conducted by Britain’s Prince Harry, broadcast on BBC radio on Wednesday.

“One of the dangers of the Internet is that people can have entirely different realities, they can be just cocooned in information that reinforces their current biases.”


“It’s also by the way harder to be as obnoxious and cruel in person as people can be anonymously on the Internet,” he said.

So Obama takes an interview from "royal" who likes to wear Nazi Uniforms at establishment elite parties.

So typical of Obama.

So hypocritical of his supporters too.



(now you know why millions of Americans left the Democrat party due to Obama's policies, get back to us when Obama can do something better than to hobnob with people who think he should be carrying their bags)

I am not familiar with his Nazi affiliations. Can you provide a link or picture that shows that? I am asking as a non supporter of Obama.

Edit: I found the article on Harry wearing a Nazi costume to a party in which has apologized. This was from 2005. He is not a Nazi and neither is Obama.

All well and good. Though it was just Obama at his best : no greater speaker with such lofty oratory than Barack Obama. Many of us fell under his spell, only in time to see how full of s%&t he really was.

Obama in this interview was just going through his usual rhetorical point making. Always predictable but he could present it all in such a compelling way to even make him seem somewhat sincere in the process.

When will Barry Obama finally just go away as he might very well go the way of the Clintons the longer he stays around.

I suppose Obama feels safe being interviewed by someone who knows absolutely nothing about the lives of 99.999% of Americans. Someone who doesn't have to work for a living, who has had everything given to him simply because he is deemed "royal".

Safe for Obama indeed.

Get back to us when Obama takes an interview from inner city Chicago where his 8 years of policies failed those people completely.

I do believe that these types of comments are exactly what he is speaking to, in the cocoon.

Something like Trump knowing nothing about 99% not like he and his 1%.

Obama has nothing of value to say that I care to listen too. Eight years of his condescending, smarter than thou attitude was more than enough to last a lifetime.

In the real world outside politics, Obama has accomplished very little to warrant respect. In Politics he lied his azz off to the American people.

At least Harry has contributed to the English people with service. Him I respect.
