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.
