Democratic President Barack Obama has been out of office since January 20, 2017—almost a decade now. His critics, especially MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's MAGA minions, still despise him.

But his admirers miss him more than ever during a presidency marked by puerile name-calling and petty vengeance.

Maybe that's why a TikTok posted by ThePetDiary (@thepetdiary6_6) featuring a compilation of President Obama showing class and compassion to regular folks has gone massively viral with over 10 million views, over 850 thousand likes, nearly 18 thousand comments, 63 thousand bookmarks, and over 30 thousand reshares.

The compilation begins with other world leaders carrying on, seemingly ignoring people near them suffering from illness or an injury.

Text on the video reads:

"Power without respect..."

It then shows President Obama stopping a press briefing to seek assistance for an ill woman in the White House press corps. From there it shows instances where the former POTUS put others before himself and showed others, regardless of their age or social standing, respect.

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

Woman In Labor Times How Long Her Husband Takes To Poop To See If She Can Push Their Baby Out Faster In Hilarious Viral Video

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
