I feel like we were safe, like I didn’t have to worry: was something going to explode? I could live my life while he was there,” Behar said.

“I would like to warn the country about a number of issues that concern me greatly. … That’s a dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a few ultra-rich people. The dangerous consequences if their abuse of power remains unchecked,” he said.
Liberal media hosts praised the president’s speech, which commentators called one of the “best,” “most memorable” and “down-to-earth” speeches of his life.

“That’s stark and down-to-earth, and like I said, it gave me a chill,” Maddow said. “I think he’s right, and I’m glad he took the time to say it.”
