Obama Was ‘Absolutely Confident’ Women Would Govern Better. X Is Less Certain -WATCH.

So an old Obama clip is making the rounds again, and apparently 2019 hasn't finished with us yet. 

Back in 2019, while speaking at a leadership event in Singapore, the former president went on record arguing that the world would be better off with women in charge. Obama said women were 'pretty indisputably' better than men and went even further, saying that if women ran every nation on Earth for two years, there would be significant improvements 'across the board.' That's not somebody paraphrasing him years later. That's what he said.

And context doesn't really rescue the quote. Obama wasn't just tossing off a one-liner about women being better leaders. During the same 2019 remarks, he argued that many of the world's problems came from "old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way." He also said political leaders should remember that they are there to do a job, not to prop up their own sense of importance or power.


Fast-forward to 2026, TheBlaze dusted off the clip, dropped it back onto X, and — predictably — the internet had a few thoughts.

Mr. President. Is Michelle there with you right now?

The funny thing about this post. More women respond this way than you would think. 

The third-wave feminist vibe is terrifying.

Ok come on, we don't need him straining his brain like that! 

Well, it's either laugh or cry, brother Al. 


He most certainly did! 

See! That one right there! LOL 

Now we are looking at this clip from nearly six years ago with the benefit of hindsight. But it is ironic to think the man who said this in 2019 was the same one who ended Hillary's run in 2008.

Maybe somebody should ask Hillary Clinton when Obama came to this revelation. Because again, in 2008, he seemed perfectly comfortable letting a man take charge. Well … allegedly. The mom jeans were still a year away.
