I miss the days when presidents ( regardless of party ) were presidential.
Yes, politicizing funerals is soooo Presidential.
You miss wimps.
It's pretty easy to be presidential when you get virtually no heat from the media. They thought Obama took a demotion when he became Prez.
or had the vocabulary of an adult.
@@buildthewallwiththewoke6196 EXACTLY. When the person that passed away is a LIFELONG Politician who SERVED our country on so many fronts and made a LIFE long relationships with Politicians and their families - You got THAT 200% correct! Good for YOU.
That’s a Eulogy. That’s an Orator. That’s Presidential.
He made political talking points at a funeral lol
TRAITOR SELL OUT
John Lewis, the civil rights leader and congressman who died on July 17, wrote this essay shortly before his death: Opinion | John Lewis: Together, You Can Redeem the Soul of Our Nation
While my time here has now come to an end, I want you to know that in the last days and hours of my life you inspired me. You filled me with hope about the next chapter of the great American story when you used your power to make a difference in our society. Millions of people motivated simply by human compassion laid down the burdens of division. Around the country and the world you set aside race, class, age, language and nationality to demand respect for human dignity.
That is why I had to visit Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, though I was admitted to the hospital the following day. I just had to see and feel it for myself that, after many years of silent witness, the truth is still marching on.
Emmett Till was my George Floyd. He was my Rayshard Brooks, Sandra Bland and Breonna Taylor. He was 14 when he was killed, and I was only 15 years old at the time. I will never ever forget the moment when it became so clear that he could easily have been me. In those days, fear constrained us like an imaginary prison, and troubling thoughts of potential brutality committed for no understandable reason were the bars.
Though I was surrounded by two loving parents, plenty of brothers, sisters and cousins, their love could not protect me from the unholy oppression waiting just outside that family circle. Unchecked, unrestrained violence and government-sanctioned terror had the power to turn a simple stroll to the store for some Skittles or an innocent morning jog down a lonesome country road into a nightmare. If we are to survive as one unified nation, we must discover what so readily takes root in our hearts that could rob Mother Emanuel Church in South Carolina of her brightest and best, shoot unwitting concertgoers in Las Vegas and choke to death the hopes and dreams of a gifted violinist like Elijah McClain.
Like so many young people today, I was searching for a way out, or some might say a way in, and then I heard the voice of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on an old radio. He was talking about the philosophy and discipline of nonviolence. He said we are all complicit when we tolerate injustice. He said it is not enough to say it will get better by and by. He said each of us has a moral obligation to stand up, speak up and speak out. When you see something that is not right, you must say something. You must do something. Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part to help build what we called the Beloved Community, a nation and world society at peace with itself.
Ordinary people with extraordinary vision can redeem the soul of America by getting in what I call good trouble, necessary trouble. Voting and participating in the democratic process are key. The vote is the most powerful nonviolent change agent you have in a democratic society. You must use it because it is not guaranteed. You can lose it.
You must also study and learn the lessons of history because humanity has been involved in this soul-wrenching, existential struggle for a very long time. People on every continent have stood in your shoes, through decades and centuries before you. The truth does not change, and that is why the answers worked out long ago can help you find solutions to the challenges of our time. Continue to build union between movements stretching across the globe because we must put away our willingness to profit from the exploitation of others.
Though I may not be here with you, I urge you to answer the highest calling of your heart and stand up for what you truly believe. In my life I have done all I can to demonstrate that the way of peace, the way of love and nonviolence is the more excellent way. Now it is your turn to let freedom ring.
When historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st century, let them say that it was your generation who laid down the heavy burdens of hate at last and that peace finally triumphed over violence, aggression and war. So I say to you, walk with the wind, brothers and sisters, and let the spirit of peace and the power of everlasting love be your guide.

misur luci Fer Diablo ....➡️. OBAMA MAKES A JACKASS OF HIMSELF. Politicizing this eulogy. This is no place to start condemning President Trump and everybody else. OBAMA/BIDEN Had eight years to do something and they did nothing so don’t start complaining now OBAMA
John Lewis speaks truth to we the people of the US -- he spoke from his heart and from the reality of his passionately engaged life. He offers us a vision of a life and a vision well lived and shared. I am so glad President Obama honored John Lewis by sharing how the energy of John Lewis' lived life gave deeper meaning to his own life and to all of us.
@@thecatfishrod ok
@@thecatfishrod you didn't use it bruh
Thank you!
The fact that some people find Obama's rhetoric divisive and Trump's unifying shows how much further we as a nation have yet to go.
Meh this is fine. I didn’t vote for him but this was good. We give way too much power too the executive. This literally could be solved by congress. But they only pass large dumb packages that grant the executive to make all the rules.
No we've just realised they're both con men especially Obama.
@@mr.e2136You mean like Trump does every day? Is that why he ssaid COVID-19 was a hoax and did nothing to prepare for it. Is that why.his comedy campaign followers laughed in South Carolina when he said it? Are they laughing at his hoax that has infected over 4.4 million and killed over 150,000? Maybe they drank or injected the disinfectant.Yep, Carelessness and irresponsibility is your leader's blame game . Now who did you say was delusional?✌

And that man is already working on voter suppression.
We have no Obama quality man nominated.
@@WillChil466 Thank God.
"Not from turning on each other, but by turning towards one another" is a wonderful part of his eulogy...
Not only did he believe it, he lived it in every step he took........sadly his successor cannot even begin to understand the meaning or depth of that sentence
Obama’s racism is blind!!! It’s sickening!!!
So tell this to the rioters, arsonists, plunderers, assaulters, and murderers that are tearing up portland, chicago, minneapolis, seattle!
@B dub And so can you and yours little man...Envy is a sin...you will never have the charisma the love, the popularity, intelligence, money, education that Obama has and you can't stand it.....You belong in hell LOSER

I can see my dream after listening to this eulogy.
Thank you. Decent Americans love y'all too.
Welcome enjoy and remember what our nation looked and sounded like four years ago. Real Presidents. Real men of service John Lewis is what America is all about. We will get our nation back! Hello to Prime Minister Trudeau !!!! Be Blessed.
The fact that some people feel more secure and content hearing our current president speak, as opposed to this, is absolutely incredible to me. I mean, you OBJECTIVELY sense sincerity, composure, positivity, and competence from Obama when he speaks. It is the EXACT OPPOSITE with Trump.
So, this is dignity ?
This sort of partisan nonsense at a memorial service is really awful. Playing the race card as always.
Obama is a nutcase.
I swear all my anxiety went down for this speech. It was nice peace.
@@phattykill Obama is an actor on a stage...collecting his political paybacks in the form of corporate speeches.
It’s nice to listen to a president and not have to worry about him gloating or encouraging hate. It was calming to listen to him. Not anxiety inducing.
I feel the exact same way we should definitely talk politics over some coffee. 😂🙈
democrats are the party encouraging hate.
😂😂😂i feel yah girl
Full sentences? Rhetoric aimed towards unification and cooperation? Embracing everyone's vote?

The sarcasm is strong with you.
@Laureano Aldama not really .snow flake is getting over done. I decree the new put down word piss stain. That or Fart knocker. Your choice.😁😝😁
@Laureano Aldama yeah how dare Trump give all those minorities jobs and stop them from serving time at double the rate of whites with the same crime.oh wait.Can you give proof that he's a racist? Betcha can't.
I can’t believe how refreshing that was. That whole service got me hype, wanting to get into some of that good trouble.
me too!! Let's start getting our people moving to get 45 and his cronies out!!
Carmen Rivera yes yes and yes.
Even history can’t turn the train wreck that is 45 into a success story if we hold him to only 4 and not 8 years. This is our chance to make sure history recognizes him for the embarrassment he is and always will be.
Even though CZcams will do that for us very well too.
Vote vote vote vote vote.
mylifeintheknifetrade don’t have it anymore. Sold it years ago. Glad you like it. Topped out at 165 mph. Sure got me lots of chicks and free drinks in college. But I got a wife to care for and kids in the near future now.
Not only to get rid of 45, but finally make this country EQUAL FOR EVERYONE!!!!!
windmill ofmymind excuse me?
What political agenda? The John Lewis voting rights act lol? That would benefit everyone. So while I think you’re using “political” as a synonym for divisive....he isn’t being political since voting rights lift everyone up.
And if you’re offended by him simply saying this election is important...be offended. You guys have gotten really good at that since trump took office.
Sorry. Don’t buy your claims of politics here. Doesn’t check out. Hardly political. Especially if it was accurate to what John Lewis felt in life.
We all need to pick up where John Lewis left off
Yes we need to make him proud
Carry the baton
LWRC shut up
@Sma 556 I wish it were. Trump is a disaster.
@LWRC correct
John Lewis didn't die. He just finished the race before us and is just waiting for us to finish it and join him in heaven.
RIP Rep. John Lewis
If Lewis went to heaven we'll all get to go...
Rest in Power and Glory Mr. Lewis. May the "good trouble" you helped start in this mighty Nation go on to the valleys and the peaks, until all peoples are equal and breath free. God bless the United States, and God bless John Robert Lewis.
Nobody ever heard of BLM or ANTIFA until Obama was elected. He was not an American at heart. He truly was the great DIVIDER.
good trouble = oxymoron : you = just a moron
My President!
What really touched me today was how sincere George W. Was.
OMG!! I agree. I loved George Bush. He was my favorite speaker, so sincere!!!👌👏
I remember when we had presidents that were presidential... I miss those days
Sincerely fake.
I agree; Bush has earned my respect. He has humility, a sense of humor, and a vocabulary that isn't embarrassing.
I'd take George W back in a heartbeat..and I wasn't of fan of him..lol. Yes, he spoke a nice eulogy.
Those who do not understand the dignity here I feel sorry for you in your void of hatred. I feel sorry that you feel you must put others down to elevate yourselves. That's why a bully can only feel better when he demeans other people. He has nothing else to offer , nothing of substance or value. That's why he needs to cheat and lie to gain attention. If you need to suppress other people to hold power, then all that you are is a lie. Less than 100 days to go - thank god.
👏👏👏
Um, Obama is right in front of you slamming Trump? Hating on Trump? Demeaning Trump. Get a grip.
Amen
@T Ponst86It takes a special level of courage that you don't possess to knowingly fight for something, knowing that a race of people would rather beat you to death than acknowledge your basic rights as a human being. Congressman Lewis's life was devoted to a cause. What is your life devoted to? Honestly, when you take your last breath, what will YOU be remembered for???
Yes thank god when Trump is reelected and those of us who support this great nation can get back to living.
Obama will never be replaced as my president. He's simply the epitome of leadership. Miss the Obama family.
@mapboy93 he had his turn, as much as he was good, he was a good start, time to find the next hero, read for the long fight.
@@mr.e2136 interesting you say that. Exactly what did Obama do to make him the worst president? Besides being black. I want to compare his bad deeds to President Trump and see who comes out on top
Having the courage to stand up for what is right, even if you have to do this alone. That is real heroism. Rest in peace.
Thank You John Lewis you ran the race and kept the Faith🙏🏽
Remember when Obama smoking cigarettes was a major criticism of his presidency.. oh how times have changed
Or when he wore a tan suit lol and didn’t wear a suit jacket while in Oval Office. Meanwhile Regan and others did the same thing
@@cyns5271 or when he was missing the flag on his suit jacket.
@@cyns5271 Oh tangate we miss you so.
hey, he also wore a TAN suit, and emasculated the USA by wearing a bike helmet while riding bikes with his kids... And before you act like none of that was a big deal... Don't forget his elitist fancy pants DIJON mustard...
hahahah yea... how the times have changed indeed /cry
@Charles Charlemagne lol classic wack job Conspiracy theorist argument. Anything I have no evidence for was just "swept under the rug by the dishonest media!!!!"
He did not speak of how incredible he was or how unfairly he was treated by "fake news". How refreshing!
Because him and the corrupt media and corrupt political swamp had the same agenda. Duh.
@@Acujeremy Yeah, he didn't free any war criminals or disparage actual heroes like John McCain. He doesn't love Nazis like your orange hero who was too much a coward to actually serve his country.
@@brucemou1 Trump has never said he likes Nazis nor has he said a single racist thing. You are so indoctrinated. Nobody loves Nazis you imbecile!
Amen! Not about him or how great he did 🙌🏽👌🏽👍🏽
@A. W Obama spoke to us like we were naughty kindergartners and he was the kindergarten teacher, and he was scolding us. For some reasons, this is what Liberals want to be spoken to like.
Mr. Lewis you packed a lot into your “ - “. The world is a better place because you were in it! RIP THANK YOU! ❤️🇨🇦
So this is what a real president looks like! It's seems like such a long time.....
If only trump took the time to be political at a funeral. Heads would spin.
Reasurance that the world has not lost their minds.
It has you joke, this is someone's funeral and this guy is talking about politics, he's a clown.
solo lewis’ entire life was political. he fought for civil rights and justice and obama is talking about those things. it’s not “talking politics at a funeral” for no reason.
What a joke

I might not agree with his politics but man it is nice to hear this guy talk. Incredibly articulate and charismatic. Refreshing. Makes you realize how dumbed down Trump has made the public discourse.
@BenShearts same.
There was a lot of things that Obama did during his tenure that I strongly disagreed with, but damn it's refreshing to remember the dignity and eloquence that no longer exists in the White House today.
@B dub at least he can read. Unlike Draft Dodger Donnie
There are CZcams videos of farts. Those were around in BO years, society hasn't gotten dumber, you just miss the pandering to what YOU WANT
@B dub Trump is illiterate ...
@B dub reason trump doesn't read off anything and just makes up stuff up is due to the fact he can't read or speak properly
John Lewis was a very courageous man. We need more like him....Now...
He was a election denier
It was so good to hear your voice. A man of conviction and integrity.

President Obama’s speech was one of the best I’ve ever seen! This should be played on repeat in the lead up to the election!
In searching for this, I was astounded to see how many funerals Obama has spoken at. Literally the top sender-offer in chief.
We wonder who will come next and be so great to speak at Obama's
I actually enjoyed his speech - did not cringed or was in disbelief what I just heard. It feels good to hear speech level over 4th grade. Wow
Lmbo but I understand wat ya mean
It must feel good to hate America right now
Yeah his attack on all police throughout the country was so good you completely missed it.
SgtTravisBickle we hate what AmeriKKKA has become or maybe the fact that the RACIST foundation she was built on has made its way to the White House again and people or no longer closeted about it. We HATE that the POTUS is a lying , treasonous, racist, with well over 10 allegations of sexual assault, who admits to grabbing women by the genitals, who sleeps with and pays off porn stars, who has totally insulted the office and oath, and made the racist Kens and Karen’s of AmeriKKKa rear their ugly head in the light of day. That’s what WE hate. What some people hate is the we bring it to your attention and people like John Lewis fought spent his life fighting against it and when you hear it you feel intimidated because it’s in YOU. Now there it is and that’s the short version.
My sentiments, exactly.
The 44th president spoke a true message of hope and determination. We shall overcome and we must stay the course. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank You, Barack... Mr. President... We miss you, sir... Rest In Power John Lewis...
I'm in total agreement Vanessa!

Wow. Whole coherent sentences. We used to take that for granted.
Who cares? Why is that the only thing you people talk about? It just proves that you don't care at all about a person's actions. I have yet to encounter an Obama supporter that can tell me what he did as President. You people only like him cause he's blaq which is sad.
It’s good to hear the adults in the room talk for a change!!!!
All I have to say is:
Woman.
Person.
Camera.
TV.
This is a president, this is leadership. Nothing but absolute respect for President Obama.
@templars83 Oh I have a clue. I know intelligence and compassion when I see it. None of what he said was a disgrace or could be construde to be disgraceful. Make no mistake I am not a Democrat either or Liberal, or Leftist or whatever name tag is popular this week. I, like alot of Americans, have just had enough of the temper tantrums, the lies and total disrespect of the American people from man who currently holds the office of the President of the United States. Obama gave a wonderful eulogy about a strong black man, who stood up for injustice and worked hard for what he believed in. Not one time during the eulogy did he make it about him, he made it about a great man, not a perfect man but a good man. Whether you like Obama or not there is no denying he is a great speaker and speaks from the heart. Something unfortunatly, Trump is incapable of doing.
When I hear the word “presidential,” there’s an image in my mind. This is what it looks like. Listening to this man brought so much peace to my heart - peace I hope our United States of America can find.
Really Danny !!!!!! a man who Who Brought poverty to every major city in America a man who completely destroyed our nation a man who completely destroyed America you are a joke
Obama is the one who started all this racist B S What did he do to help Blacks during his 8 YEARS in office???? NOT A DAMN THING... And you know it too ..
I disagree. Obama showed all the young children that you can dream big and accomplish what was thought to be impossible. Agent Orange oh Agent Orange. It's embarrasseing in comparison. Obama has that beautiful soul. You choose Trump because he was supposed to be this fighter. Now everyone is fighting. For 4 year's now. Embarrasseing.
Obama didn't start all this racist b.s..you all just hated him so much that you voted for someone who for all intents and purposes from day one used racial overtones to get elected. That's why all the hillbillies and confederate carrying card members came out of the woodwork to vote for him. Oops.

@@kaiw9254 He also depleted our military during his reign and left us very vulnerable under his Presidency. He weaponized the IRS against reporters he didn't like. You need to stop being so caught up in Obama's overrated image and do your research on this man. Politics is not about how good someone makes you feel, it's about what they do. Stop being easily misled by sweet sounding words and a nice demeanor.
Kel0390 but if you did do your research you would understand how wrong you are. I’m not a blind sheep that follows the trends I follow facts and facts show what he did made America much stronger in the world. We got Bin Laden and stabilized the region we expanded our alliances to the pacific to mitigate the growth of China we prevented another genocide in Africa. Do your research. You would know that these “illegals” you discussed were brought to this country as children and therefore they have grown up only understanding America and our ideals so they deserve citizenship. And when I say Obama had the least corrupt administration name how many Obama officials were prosecuted in court and name one instance where he used the power of his office for political gain. It’s clear you were not prepared for this lecture with your strikingly ambiguous claim. Obama’s cool demeanor only comes with the fact that he left us better off from where we started.

Yea having to listen the that worthless bastard always brings a tear to my eye as well, what a POS
This makes me so sad.. I remember Obama's victory speach the night he won the election. It was so moving, myself and my whole family were in tears. It was such a beautiful moment that I will never forget being only 19 yrs old at the time. My parents had just lost everything after the great recession. Hearing Obama spoke to me and enabled me to get a higher education and pursue a career I never thought I would have. This man tried so hard to bring us all together. Unfortunately it reflected that we still had a serious race problem in our society. I stand by you as a white man and thank you for inspiring me Mr. Obama. We are all equal and I truly believe you will go down as one of the greatest Presidents of all time. Thank you sir
Hey. Absolutely amazing. U experience a life thing we been waiting for. Appreciate yo comment
Do you also remember his apology tour that kicked off his presidency when he went around the world literally BOWING to foreign leaders?
@@S955US84 You mean like Trump did to Saudi's, Putin, and, Turkey. Yeah I remember that.
I am an African American woman and I would like to say thank you my brother for understanding the power of a real leader to make everyone better at least try to
Much love and god bless you
I was young when President Obama was elected and I saw the ugly racism within my family for the first time. I had never been exposed to racism prior to this (my parents weren't racist), but my grandmother made a horrible, horrible comment about President Obama. I couldn't believe it and it just formed my feelings about her from that point there. I loved how passionate he was and how eloquent he was during the ceremony. I love him, and I'm so glad we got the two terms from him that we did. You're absolutely correct though. His presidency did unfortunately bring to light the horrendous racial divide in the US. And with our current president... Ugh.
I haven't felt at peace and relief in a long time just in this moment of a eulogy that only President Obama could deliver...Thank you!
So, what you are saying is; Obama is the Preparation H for your emotional hemorrhoids?
Obama was the worst president ever and a idiat, and stupid.
@@robdillon2788 at least learn to use spell check. You inbred pile of trash
A America trader who had fbi spy on another president.
@@douglasburd6905 don't call yourself trash, everybody has some goodness, even you.
This is a beautiful eulogy, got a lump in my throat...this is America 🇺🇸 the country I Love
lol, how corny.
it was actually highly political, racist in nature, intended to rile up with race baiting. it was a horrific speech.
I don’t love America until black lives matter ✊🏽 ✊🏾✊🏿
@@paulthomas9911 Check your hearing Paul!
@@kimkeffer3634 Im being extra sensitive because he was a damn president! and hes making up bullshit lies. no evidence of anything. all hes doing is contributing to the black lives matter myth. which he is of course driving. I said this when he got elected...race relations will be worse now because obama and his wife have racist bigoted tendencies. they are biased and have bigoted feelings.
Tears all week, too emotional to express my feelings, I feel as if I've been to church. Hopeful for the new America, shinning on the hill. We just lost a saint in our mist, To John Robert Lewis...Goodnight sweet prince.
Lewis sold out to the democrats who were the party of slavery and Jim Crow. The Democrats are still obsessed with skin color.
Nobody ever heard of BLM or ANTIFA until Obama was elected. He was not an American at heart. He truly was the great DIVIDER.
@@jamiejay7633 Take a seat - PLEASE - WAYYYYY IN THE BACK!
@@kdale6961 OB's mother was a commie and his absentee father (who died drunk driving) was a commie. He was a community organizer from Chicago and we have seen community organizing false narrative movements spring up as never before after the pos came into office.
When you go to church, I hope you pray for the children he sacrifices
@@rooroo5361 I pray daily, and I am the church! Now, I go to a building with other like minded people who are also considered the church. FYI 😎
Capacity for Greatness. Thank you President Obama for reminding us of the possibilities to make this country better. I miss your intelligent, empathetic, intellectual, and eloquent leadership.
These words are a balm to my soul. Let's make America GOOD again.
Thank you for posting
President Obama literally puts me at ease... my blood pressure lowers and I have no anxiety.... I also sleep much better after one of his speeches.
I’m not even joking.
Doc makes a benign statement about how this made him feel, Kevin the troll comes on and talks about drugs and rear-ends. Pretty much puts everything in plain view between one side and the other doesn’t it.
Me too! I’m not even joking.
@Doc
LMAO .. That means he OWNS YOU.. HAA HAA ..
Doc Funny, he really irritates me.
I miss this SO MUCH.
A unifying message.
LMAO.. YOU'RE definitely BRAINWASHED.. OBOZOITIS
@@classickruzer1 SADISTS FOR TRUMP!! LET THE SUFFERING CONTINUE! TRUMPS FOR LIFE, LIKE HERPES!
Yeah no lol
@LedPhotoBoothSales You cannot be fixed, you're so proud of your racism you would never let it die.
@@jeremyserwer2586 8 YEARS of OBOZO and not one thing done to help Blacks.. NOT ONE... Now he comes out of the shadows when he needs the Black vote. LMAO..
Terrific speech -- full of kindness, gentleness, wisdom, and true patriotism -- such a refreshing change from our current POTUS.
Thank you, President Obama.
Barack will Always be Potus
Not to mention he speaks in complete sentences 😢 I definitely miss that
It was terrible for this president to bring politics into this funeral. What a disgrace this ex president is and was
@@dmonks21
Politics is not a dirty word. Politics is just the means by which the people make decisions for the good of the country.
John Lewis's WHOLE LIFE WAS POLITICAL. It would have been inappropriate to eulogize him without mentioning politics!
@@dmonks21 You can't honestly believe that John Lewis would mind. He would cheer. His entire existence was political. You and Waldo can have a nice chat, though. Don't forget, Bengazi, his Kenyan birth, Pizzagate (the child sex ring in the pizza parlour basement - the pizza parlour that had no basement. And wait, no child sex ring), hmmmm, what other conspiracy theories pop to mind. None now, my mind is too full of awe at John Lewis's life and Obama's speech. Get ready Dianna and Waldo, you might hear more speeches like this in January 2021, and not at a funeral, but on the Mall.
Obama was an imperfect president, as every president is. We are all imperfect. A president's mistakes are much more serious than our own. At least Obama's errors follow solemn reflection and reasoned decision making.
May we all, all of us, stay healthy and ready and eager to participate in the election in November. We owe John Lewis that.
Thank you President Obama!
Said without sarcasm. I haven't seen that in months. 😊
@windmill ofmymind Mr. Obama is eulogizing a civil rights activist and legislator. The politics are Mr. Lewis's.
I cried listening to this. How we miss you Mr. President. Eloquent, sincere, thoughtful and so much more. Thank you for reminding me what we’re fighting for this election. Forever my president.
So moving. Thank you, President Obama for this tribute to a great, humble, giant of a man. And thank you for reminding us of such beautiful oratory, given in the name of John Robert Lewis.
President Obama spoke on John Lewis behalf. Thank you!!!
On an unrelated note, the worst part of watching a CZcams video is looking through the comment section.
Sairam Soundararajan it’s also the best part
I love it. Shows people see whats really up gives us all some hope. People see through the bullshit
Keep on looking at the pictures then. Thats what we did in junior school.
@@markprinsloo4258 stay miserable. You're all the same cliche. Like lemmings. Enjoy being mad again and again. Such a waste of time.
@@superbennyboy1 Sorry that I have grown from an infant into an adult capable of individual thought and ideas. It would appear that you haven't as yet.
Watching Obama and Bush speak reminded me of how normal our presidents used to be. 🍻
Member when Obama drone striked a hospital of innocent people? I member. Member when Bush when to war endlessly? I member.
Feels like forever ago.
Use to be normal. Now we have an exceptional man as a President. Trump 2020
Oh how I miss a president who can complete sentences.
Lmbo but so true cuz I understand where you coming from
Thank you for this. One day, we will return to a union that is united by a leader with such dignity as him. This is how a true president and citizen should hold themself.
This is what a president sounds like.
scripted,,, yet empty.
@@rhondagalloway6676 Well I gotta give credit where credit's due-- Trump supporters are certainly the most vocal. XD
@@rhondagalloway6676 of course empty to the dumb trumptards
Wow. An actual real life U.S. President. It's a site for soar eyes.
AGREED!
Yea a president who divided the races more than any other president. This funeral was no place to bring politics. What a disgrace he is/was
@@dmonks21 "a president who divided the races more than any other president." that title belongs to the current occupant of the White House.
Dianna Monks lol no
Projection and deflection.
Dianna Monks Award for the dumbest comment goes to.....
958 dislikes from people who STILL don't get it.
But over 9,000 from those who do. I like where this is headed.
A real president
A real fool = u
LMFAO. He increased your guberment bennyfits, didn't he. Aww, do you miss him and Michael? He don't miss you, from his 8million dollar spread in Martha's vineyard... Loser
Lol
.45 will make it happen because 44 didnt work for 8
How I miss having an intelligent, empathetic, intellectual, and eloquent president. We had a president who didn't have to take a brain damage test in which he would have to point at an elephant and boast about it later. Just saying....
OBOZO didn't have a brain to test..
@@classickruzer1 neither Trump Supporters
Don’t forget-he knows how to drink out of a glass and walk, too!
BO owned the Dr's, he wasn't tested for anything.
This is how a president should speak. Not our current one who makes fun of handicap people.
God I miss him.
You will meet him when you are burning in hell
Hey trumpo losers in this thread, shut up you losers
A confused man. He could have been a galvanizing force. He even had the media on his side. He was bitter. Doubtful. And cocky. What a waste.
I miss Obama sooo much, and I'm Canadian! SUCH a HIGH QUALITY man! ❤❤❤
I miss him too. If Trumpelstiltskin wins 2020 I'm totally moving to Canada. My girlfriend lives there anyway, so it will work out perfectly for me.
@@Matrix803we welcome you! But let's hope for a Biden/Bottoms win in November! ❤🎵🎶
@@Matrix803 promises, promises. Please do. But, you won't.
@@mr.johnson6199 And you know that, how? xD
windmill ofmymind President Obama is fine individual. Without hate in his heart!!!!
I miss you so much.
So do I Pete. Like a root canal.
I'm sure he will let you wash his feet..don't worship a carnal man
Obama was the worst president ever and idiat and stupid
I do too Pete (for real). Obama was a class act.
@@robdillon2788 I've never heard of the term "idiat"... can you tell me what an "idiat" is? lmao
Obama's eulogy did honor John Robert Lewis. He knew the man quite well. And he called upon all of us to do our part to get out and vote and to forgive our enemies and try to help others. How I wish he were still our president !
How do u know
Humble and Gentle, beautiful life! Thank you Rep. John Lewis! 4 more years for Obama!
♥️
@Dave Moore Just sad my dude!
@Dave Moore I'm fine there are those with nothing that the democrats want to help!
One beautiful human celebrating the life of another beautiful human. 💙🙏🏼🌊
A great man honoring a great man. John Lewis was a nation builder.
Very well spoken for a True American Hero.
No hero of mine.
Glad that they made his funeral priority over the rest of them peon Americans who aren’t allowed to have funerals. Wake up. Heroes don’t accept things like this. Poor people dying aren’t allowed to go to funerals, but the rich, o the rich can indeed.
John Lewis will be greatly missed
OB's mother was a commie and his absentee father (who died drunk driving) was a commie. He was a community organizer from Chicago and we have seen community organizing false narrative movements spring up as never before after the pos came into office.
Wonderful speech for a wonderful person. Rest In Power Mr. Lewis 🙏
LMAO A CAMPAIGN SPEECH -- That a damn DISGRACE.. POOR JOHN LEWIS and his family being used to create LIES and DIVISION by a TERRORIST LOVING S O B .. OBOZO..
The chills that I’m feeling after listening to a real presidential leader. Rest in Heaven to brother John Lewis 🔵🔵🔵 , one the last of MLK’s disciples.
Didn't you miss this man? Leadership in every way.
Lewis is in hell
Dear Theodore, I have a feeling that Mr. Lewis - and Mr. King Jr - would say to you: "your heart is in the right place, Theodore. Therefore, you are one among my disciples." I trust that your heart is leading you in the footsteps of these great men. God bless you, dear disciple.
pearl harbor before greatness, you are pathetic.
Mechi Ironhawk was
Hopefully more white people will see this and wanna get into some "good trouble"
By far the best statesman ever. Unlike the current one!
Sorry, got 4 more years.
All three presidents gave a heartfelt speech. Obama just added a little hot 🔥sauce to his. Vote because the survival of democracy and our lives (literally) depends on it.
