madiba, he lived this complexity.n prison, he studied afrikaans so that he could better understand the people who were jailing him. and when he got out of prison, he extended a hand to those who had jailed him, because he knew that they had to be a part of the democratic south africa that he wanted to build. "to make peace with an enemy," he wrote, "one must work with that enemy, and that enemy becomes one's partner." so those who traffic in absolutes when it comes to policy, whether it's on the left or the right, they make democracy unworkable. you can't expect to get 100% of what you want all the time; sometimes, you have to compromise. that doesn't mean abandoning your principles, but instead it means holding on to those principles and then having the confidence that they're going to stand up to a serious democratic debate. that's how america's founders intended our system to work -- that through the testing of ideas and the application of reason and proof it would be possible to arrive at a basis for common ground

unfortunately, he cannot dance as well as madiba can dance. (laughter) (applause). >> trevor: oh man. oh, i feel like that's the same face he had on election night, he was like-- you know what is funny, it is funny how in america people credited obama as a great daryns, right, because he was the first u.s. president with rhythm, right? but in africa, all the presidents can dance. so when o bma dnses in africa people are like hey, barack, your white side is showing, huh? what's happening here. because look, obama is not a great dancer. he is a good dancer but not a great dancer. i know you might be saying who are you to judge obama's dance moves, trevor. well, i will tell you who i am. i am the return up of the 20123 see-- 2012 season of dancing with the stars south africa. (applause) that's right! that's right! but obama in south africa, used the occasion to give a speech on the state of the world. and of course whenever obama talks about current events these days, there is an elephant in the room. which is fine, is he a south african citizen
