Why people are showing so much interest to watch Obama crying video?

I came to know that Millions of people watched Barack Obama Crying video yesterday.

(Obama crying video is available in lot of youtube channels. The Barack Obama Official Channel video alone exceeds 3 million views while writing this question)


It seems people are showing so much interest to watch this video. And, these videos are going viral in various social media sites. A Reddit.com discussion itself attracted thousands of up-votes and comments for these videos yesterday.

I am curious to know why people are showing this much interest to watch this video. It seems people from throughout the world showed interest to watch this video.


And, I am curious to know whether anyone is hearing about this video today only.

 

You don't see the president crying like a sissy everyday.. Moreover, people are dumb these days, they will watch anything..

BTW, nice plug of your channel there...

 

I know right. It's just a man. Everyone cries. I haven't seen the video personally but I did see the article on CNN. I didn't bother clicking it.

 

Not tears of grief old chum, tears of laughter at seeing how easy it was after all that fuss and nonsense to send Romney back to his beloved Church and the political scrap heap and his side-kick Ryan yelping away in the sunset.

 

Maybe because they are waiting for Romney to cry because he lost that big chance to be the man on the White House...am not so sure though lol. Surely there are millions who voted for Obama so we should not wonder why millions are interested of him showing some emotions.

 

To be honest I really don't care if he cries or laughs. Many people are so obsessed with the life of political personalities or actors and other public persons. I don't understand them. I am asking only if those tears were real or marketing.

 

First I didn't see the tear, only saw the gesture, which could have been faked/calculated, wouldn't be surprising.
But let's reput things in perspective, he didn't shed a tear about any american people living in poverty or being homeless, he "cried" because he won the election, he did it while speaking to his supporters about how wonderful it was that he won.

 

Crocodile tears are aways popular .

 

Maybe people like to watch other people cry and feel good about themselves of not being the only sad person in the world.

 

What it does prove then? Are people sympathetic?

 

It's just a man. Everyone cries. I haven't seen the video personally but I did see the article on CNN. But it is fact that he looks funny while crying.

 

He probably had too much to drink.

 

Politicians cry (or seem sad) at tragedies, they hold babies when cameras are around, etc..

Even thou he might be sincere in that regards, it's all politics.

Wow, give it up. You guys lost for a reason. Try to improve on your parties ideology and positions then try again.
