During the show’s Black History Month segment called “Black History Month FYI,” Goldberg decided to remind America “what a president does.”
She also used her speech to refresh the memory of “those who continue to question his track record” by listing a few of former President Obama’s accomplishments:
“He brought the country back from the brink of financial disaster after big banks caused the economy to collapse. He saved over a million jobs by bailing out the American auto industry. He gave health care to over 30 million Americans with the Affordable Care Act. He ended the war in Iraq and ordered the raid that killed terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. In his second term, he fought to make same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states. He issued wide ranging executive actions on climate change, immigration and initiating sanctions against Russia for the atrocities in the Ukraine. So if you want to know what a president know what a president does…that’s what a president does!”
