- President Obama delivers a eulogy for state Senator Clementa Pinckney, who was one of nine victims in the June 17, 2015, shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Watch the complete funeral service here: cs.pn/1GNNMzs
Here in 2022... My librarian was killed in this shooting. She never judged me for one second when I needed to print out my plan b coupon. She was a sweet woman and she didn't make me pay my nickel for printing. I guess she saw me struggling. She was a woman of intelligence, class, beauty, & filled with God's love and understanding. Cynthia Graham I will never forget you or your kindness. You were an angel on earth and I'm sorry you didn't get more time here to spread your love.
So sad, we can all take solace Sister Cynthia is with our Lord Jesus Christ, he took all that pain and suffering away.
Who is here again in 2020. I can't still get enough of him in this very speech.
Especially after another murder, needed to hear wise and reasonable voice.
@Ripsaw17 Dennis 🤡
@Ripsaw17 Dennis think of it not as a presidency issue, but please admire his even attempt at humanity. Even he would acknowledge he wasnt a president for the blacks, but for all people.

I am here in 2020 to remind myself what a leader looks and sounds like

So true

I came to view this page for comfort. Thanks Mr. president.
Amen to that!
That is why I am here right now
Me too!
MR< DEVIL OBAMA YOU MEAN
Thank you the Rev. Mr. President. The first Kenyan President of America.
I've run out of superlatives to describe this man. This is my President.
Amen! He makes me PROUD to be an American!
D Les Amen To That!!!

You stupid moron. What did Barack Hussein Obama, the first gay Muslim president, ever do for his own people, particularly in his beloved state of Chicago?? I'll be anxiously awaiting your answer...
This is one of the best speeches I have ever seen.
That is a President. Period.
He was born to lead. One of the greatest man in this world. God bless Mr. President Obama and Michelle.
Well said!!
Coming back to this in 2022 for some much needed positivity, uplifting, and heartfelt words. No matter your politics, no matter your beliefs, no matter your race, no matter your gender, we can all find truths in this. We can all find love in this. We can all find emotion in this. This is the Eulogy of a good man, a man who dedicated himself, put others before. Someone we all can learn from.
Q
Our Black and shinning Prince ... makes us proud to be who we are. Hallelujah!
PREACH! Love out POTUS!!!
Naimah Fuller He truly is! I hope the events in Charleston help others remember this as a defining moment where our president stopped and preached the Gospel in this awful time.
***** I think she does... She only celebrates the moment different from u.
Not if he compromises the truths of the gospel!
This is why they hate him he destroys all their view of what it means to be black, his intelligence, his faith, his family and his calmness and peace...........
You hit the nail on the head. Its been our faith and hope that has helped us endure the condition we were in to progress to this hour. They try their best to discredit him, but God's grace is sufficient
Veronica Garcia Jesus said everything he needed to in the sermon on the mount, the first will be last and the last will be first and that is what they are afraid of, they see it happening now. They think they are loosing something instead of sharing something. Like a little child who does not want to share his toy......
Maurice Jones The true test is to find supernatural strength by having relationship with God not just religious piety. The pharisses knew the word but didn't hide it in their heart nor did they comprehend grace. You cannot let hatred, fear, the pride of life contaminate your heart. The whole world was watching not one riot? Not one. We are not the savages they depict us as.
Veronica Garcia We show Grace as a the President said. Blacks and Hispanics, and the Irish have been historically the most dedicated religious people in our country but when they speak of the religious you always see white churches.
The story is getting out there like when the nation and the world saw the hoses, dogs and cattle prods being placed on young people peacefully marching. Before seeing those images many thought the horrors faced by blacks was just talk. They now see the truth and how we really are as people.
dave long His mother was a child of the MOST HIGH GOD!
It's important to remember that he's not running for re-election here. I believe he truly spoke his mind, and I continue to be impressed by his eloquence. And if, after leaving the Presidency, he goes into a singing career, I'll buy his albums.
David Scott You must have like his "Al green" rendition also, huh?
David Scott - Gonna be pretty disappointing if we get another homespun faux folksy cowboy who went to college for 10 years but somehow thinks 'book lernin' is fer sissies.
David Scott David Obama was and always will be a great politician with high quality speech skills and diplomacy
+George Pitsounis where the fuck did you get David from?
Tyler Nelson I think he meant "David, Obama was..." addressing me.
I am still trying to understand how such a great man is hated so much in this country.... I mean Seriously!!
Mrtwothousand Smutwell Many "reasons" but mostly the same reason the 9 people were killed in this church.
I heard Barack's interview on Marc Maron's podcast and the President is an astonishingly "mature" individual.
To quote Public Enemy, "Don't Believe the Hype". Barack won the popular vote TWICE. Most of America appreciates to Loves the Obamas!
Mrtwothousand Smutwell Great man have always been hated by their community. Because what makes them great is their willingness to take a stand. And there are just as many out there willing to take opposing stands too. Those who are loved by many are hated by just as many and become significant. Those who do not illicit an emotional response are just forgotten. In 10 years time, watch when people ask Mitt who?
Mrtwothousand Smutwell because he is black they hate obama more than they love america.
***** your an ass.... I bet your gonna vote for #donaldtrump
***** Quick: Which US political party has continuously and openly done whatever they can to block progress, waste money, kill jobs, promote discrimination, step on the poor and embarrass the US as a whole with stupid comments and actions? Who has promoted acts of war more than Obama?If you guessed the Republican Party, you are correct.Who is the worst of the party?If you guessed Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz, you are correct.However, Marco Antonio Rubio, John Andrew Boehner , Addison Mitchell "Mitch" McConnell, Thomas Bryant "Tom" Cotton, Lindsey Olin Graham, Joni Kaye Ernst, Darrel Edward Issa, Louis Buller "Louie" Gohmert, Paul Davis Ryan or really any other member would also be accepted.
I can NEVER imagine anyone in his rightful mind hating this man. God Bless You President Obama.
Remember, the same type of people hated Jesus...
@Curtis Jones I think Trump's ass will be kicked the hardest.
@@twright3802 AMEN
Amen... i go back to watch him during times like now when not a spine in sight nor a Republican in Congress fit to shine President Obama's shoes.... except maybe two (2) who instead of denying the serious threat to our democracy January 6 actually posed or celebrating ?? the good patriots who used confederate flags like spears to kill and inflict pain on the scattering of police officers compelled to do the job that 100 more men might have struggled to furnish the protected that was needed on that day. it hurt -- that day hurt. It still hurts. But instead of investigating what powers initiated such an ugly coup, all but 2 Republicans work to sweep the whole experience beneath the rug of gutless spineless embarrassing weakness that reflects on all Americans (what you do to the least of them you do to me...) And it's a darn shame. SO I revert to recent history for leaders who inspire and leaders who lead solely by pride they provoke in all fortunate ears who listen. We need or rather I need this. You are so right. God bless a man who made me proud made a country proud. And John McCain stepped aside with true grace. (Wow, watch "Game Change" on HBO if you haven't already. A based-in-truth account of that election and the grace that even a Sarah Palin couldn't kill
Yes even if he bombed the ahit outta you in the ME you shouldn’t hate him!
I cannot even imagine any other president being able to deliver such a beautiful & heartfelt eulogy to those 9 murdered victims. He's got the fire in the belly & the spirit fills him!
I was 12 when he was elected and 20 when he left. He will forever be my president, even though I’m Canadian. He was a real leader, a man that believed in people. A man that believed that the world could be a more loving and tolerant place. God bless Mr. Obama. The world, not just America, needs your leadership more now than ever. We are so divided and we really need a unifier right now. And you beautiful voice was one of love and community. We need you in our lives right now.
R.I.P to all those who died. I cannot believe that the relatives of the victims forgave the murderer. America you are a great country. I'm a Hindu Indian and let me tell you, every human being regardless of faith or colour is saddened by this act.
And you should be proud of your President.

John Brown said, "I cannot remember a night so dark as to have hindered the coming day, or a storm so furious or dreadful as to prevent the return of warm sunshine and a cloudless sky." Here is a little bit of beauty, of something wonderful to come out of a horrible and dreadful situation. Day after night, sunshine after the storm. Thank you, Mr. President. May it bring come comfort to the afflicted families of those so senselessly cut down.
Greg Artzner Well said! Love the quote too.
John Brown was a bad mf. Salute to the god.
I love our President as a father, husband and a brilliant example of a MAN!
He truly is! God bless him
***** I never said he was perfect. But like I said, God bless him and God bless you too
+jewels easterman Well do tell - what would you call a good President?
For me this pleasecutthecrap.com/obama-accomplishments/ is enough considering that the President had to deal with that party of NO all the way. Or do you think the GOP did ANYTHING FOR the country? If they did, please tell us about it! I am waiting...
"… who's eloquence is worthy of praise." I had almost forgotten what a well spoken person sounded like …
I came to find comfort in this time of great division even in this time of a pandemic and senseless killings of black youths
Senseless?
This is my President. He is not perfect, none that preceded him have been perfect. God Bless America! OooRaaah!!!
Right. No such thing as a perfect president. The nature of the office itself forbids it.

Its March 26, 2020 and we are in the depths of a global pandemic with no end in sight. I came here to hear words of reassurance, comfort and grace. Thank you, Mr. President.
Here exactly four years later, and what a four years it has been. Reassurance, comfort, grace-speech still hits.
I am a conservative republican studying political science and law and looking to run for office someday under that affiliation, but I have to admit. He was a man of Christ and smart, genuine guy. I would seek his advice if I ever came to high office.
No you are no conservative you are a RINO !! Just change your party no true God loving and God fearing conservative would ask this one for advice. He took out tax dollars to fund Iran, Isis to murder innocent babies. I simply thank God everyday of my life he is gone from 1600 Pennsylvania avenue.
No, Charlie is a real Republican--a member of the party of Lincoln. Here is President Obama speaking about his Christian faith in a church and you question why a "God fearing" man would want to take his advice? It's okay to disagree with Obama on lots of things; you're entitled to your own opinion . . . but not your own facts. He continued and doubled down on George Bush's bailout of the financial industry, he saved the auto industry, got a stimulus package and thus saved us from another depression. He holds the record for most consecutive months of job growth. He took the risk to order an unbelievably dangerous mission to kill Osama bin Laden. He initially tried to "reset" relations with Russia but learned that was a fool's errand and put in place devastating sanctions and redeployed tanks and fighter jets to Europe. He reversed course, too, on ballistic missile defense and approved AEGIS BMD batteries in Eastern Europe. He bombed the crap out of ISIS, so I have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to "fund" ISIS. He also did not "take out" a single "tax dollar" to "fund" Iran. He released Iranian-owned financial assets that had been frozen since 1979. You can disagree with that call, but you can't call it U.S. tax dollars. It was Iranian money. We simply gave it back to them. Again, it's perfectly fine to disagree with the man's policies (I opposed the Iran Deal, for example) but why have this irrational, delusional hatred of the man? We have had truly awful Presidents--James Buchanan was truly Nero fiddling while the Rome of the U.S.A. burned as the South succeeded. Andrew Johnson actively tried to undermine his own government's policy of Reconstruction. Warren G. Harding was corrupt as hell. Herbert Hoover did nothing after the stock market crashed. Nixon, well . . . it's Nixon. And Jimmy Carter, while an honorable man, was proved largely incompetent in foreign affairs. And yet you choose to focus all the hatred you can muster on Barack Obama?
Charlie best of luck my brother. I am a liberal, just became an attorney and want to get into politics as well. We need more people like you.
@@tammywines9771 thanks to trump and the spineless, soul-less, immoral, greedy, ignorant, racist bastards that call themselves republicans today, you are in good company... your party has sold out the american people and the country- and as far as real, true patriotic Americans like President Obama are concerned, there is love and hope for everyone... even for you and your pathetic party... you see a truly Christian man in this video... his every utterance is filled with grace and goodness... something trump and the racist republicans know NOTHING about...

Still my president
I’m still watching in 2020, glad to remember a national leader of strength and eloquence and compassion. I miss having him in the presidency, but I I am glad he is still on the national scene, still providing leadership.
I’m still watching...
Watching May 24, 2020

he's good man....and i would vote for him again
Preach!
xsnut1 ...AMEN... this will go down in History... Lord Lord Lord ... I would tooo
xsnut1 ...and you're an idiot.
Can he be voted for again? Or is his presidential time up?
xsnut1 he's a good man. you can see this. which puzzles me why his international policy with drones over 6 countries killing civilians, and israel's army getting endless of supplies blows my mind.
Was blind but now I see! Barack Obama you rock!! Do I fall short? Absolutely! But through God's grace I trudged the road of happy destiny. And trudged means to walk with purpose. I pray that through God's grace I will live a life of gratitude. Was blind but now I see.
Whenever I feel low like today I watch this. Empathy, kindness and grace.
he will always be my president
Well you must not be a United States citizen because he is no longer king teleprompter.
@@tammywines9771 No. A president who can only speak in coherent sentences with a teleprompter is.
@@tammywines9771 A United States President is always a United States President, and is addressed as Mr. President for as long has he lives. Also, do you really want to get into an argument about public speaking abilities between #44 & #45??? You've got to be insane to take that one on!
This man is historical. There is nothing more that can be really said. God Bless our President and God Bless the United States of America.
This man knows how to reach the heart of his audience. He seems so sincere when he addresses crowds. It is a true gift. He has inspired me to do a little more in my own small but nonetheless meaningful way. I am proud to call him my President. Our nation must be grateful. On a side note, he could have made a good minister, I believe. God bless.
+Ashley Montana Good post. Nicely put. President Obama is one of a kind!
+Ashley Montana I wish people would not make comments of a political nature at all.., this event was about remembering the victims of this horrible event and the familiers
Shieldsff I apologize if I offended you or anyone. Sorry. It truly wasn't my intent. I just highlighted the fact I thought it was nice Obama looked sincere and didn't seem to do this for the cameras or for political gain.
Of course, the event was all about the victims and their loved ones. And although I did not express it, I was deeply saddened and touched by this tragedy. If any of the victim's families are reading these lines, I want to extend my most sincere condolences. May God accompany you through your mourning. And I hope you can all have the strength for forgive the author of this despicable, senseless and unforgivable act.

,
I don't always agree w/President Obama, Political views aside, this has to be one of, if not the Greatest Eulogy of all time. This beautiful event, in the wake of a horrific act, goes hand in hand w/the family members forgiving that kid right after it happened. My heart goes out to all those families that lost loved ones. I do not know if I could've forgiven, instead of harboring hate & anger as they have... but their actions caused me to rethink and see thing through a new lens...of light & love. God Bless
BARACK OBAMA WAS GREAT SPEECH MAKER. NOTHING ELSE.
AMEN
This is the most beautiful speech I’ve ever heard. I remember watching it that day, and I love rewatching it.
an atheist here in 2021 and absolutely moved by such beautiful speech, full of hope, historical awareness and worthy value towards the spirit of congregation that black churches are and mean in the US and to the civil rights fight worldwide. Thanks president Obama for these historical and so accurate words and for everything you could bring to people's ears and eyes through your work.
Rev "Senator" Pinkney was served well by our President. GREAT SPEECH, SIR!! You and Rev Pinkney are Good Men!! I'm So Proud of You and All You represent! WELL DONE! This was a wonderful week of VICTORIES!!
2022 and still have to listen to this now and again.
I'm a Canadian. I live in Toronto,Ontario, Canada. Your negative thoughts and statements about President Obama are not good. Your negative racist attitudes are where all your country's problems stem from. You should get down on your knees and thank God for President Barack Obama. He is loved by so many in many countries of the world including My country Canada.
We would love to have Mr. Obama lead our country when he is done down there. He would find very little Racism and very few guns here.
You people that are so negative. You don't know how good you got it down there.
You should put your white supremacy in the trash and take responsibility as an American and get behind your president.
Wake up America,.
History will show that Barack Obama's work as your President has similar greatness to John Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln.
America, you take so much for granted. This President could be a leader in any country. Take off your blinkers and God Bless America.
Thank you. You got it right

This man! This man brought tears to my eyes. As an atheist, I would've stepped into the line of fire to protect the innocent slain. Such is the power of Communion, the embrace of Faith, the call of Grace.
I know! Such a good president to provide words of comfort and unity that speaks to all Americans even though he's speaking in a church. I am also an atheist but this eulogy definitely resonated with me. I hope what we're experiencing now is an anomaly, a fluke. I hope we can get back on track to progress for all of us instead of looking back towards a time when America was "great" for only some of us.
@Curtis Jones q
The truth has no affiliation. It belongs to everyone and everything.
Watching this after El Paso and Dayton. This is what I wish we had in a President.
That's why I'm here! I needed a president that offered words of comfort and unity, that speaks to all Americans. It feels like these past few months have been more cruel than what Trump's norm was before. It breaks my heart.
Same here!
Have you noticed that even now during times like this and other major remembrances and holidays, Obama still sends words of faith and wisdom to the nation on Social Media? Obama even though no longer in office STILL has to be the reasonable voice of the Nation because #45 is incapable of doing that.
Still my president
Amazing grace, Amazing man. May our reservoir of kindness drown our unkindness. May we all live as one with love and happiness our reason for being. May the gift of today inspire us all to live and let live everyday. May love bless us all x
Keith Kline Amen!
Jennifer Jones Amen Amen look deep for that reservoir of kindness. That will be the foundation to strive and make it lasting. Good humans must become the majority not minority. The need is in this country and in this world. Every day the good do smash the evil. It is just too over whelming to see how prevalent the misguided to do evil. The results having eulogies for thousands of good people.
Did you know that Amazing Grace was written by a former slave trader, John Newton? John Newton became a British clergyman and in the year approximately 1779, John Newton wrote Amazing Grace expressly for slaves.
God made all colour what ever the colour we all breath the same air so who is better than who one cant say l am not going to breath the air the black is breathing lets get real and look within ourself and live in love among each other💞💜
How you guys went from him to Trump I will never understand.
This man is so grateful and human humble ing he is the best President of United States . Barack Obama Black lives matter no peace no justice amen

What a speech! I will remember this for a long long time.
Past all the politics and contention, my god this man can speak in front of a crowd. What a phenomenal bit of public speaking. Taking into account the circumstances, this may be the best speech he gave as president
I am amazed. This is one of the most powerful speeches i have heard. And I'm thinking of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech and Kennedy's inaugural address here.
And that we have achieved anything in spite of the vile, ruthless and underhanded attempts to sabotage his administration is a testament to him.
Never in my life have I had this level of respect, admiration and affection for the man in the White House and his family. Barack Obama is, without question, the finest President of my lifetime and his wife and daughters are also extraordinary as well. I honestly love my President. :)
WE NEED ANOTHER OBAMA IN THE WHITE HOUSE, NO MORE ORANGE MEN.
Agree 100%
You are a strong man
Very good language my brother.

This man was a genius.. brought me to tears all the way from Africa..reminds me "some are chosen" he truly was and is
The world should be proud of our President.!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great Eulogy.
Thank you President Obama.
Obama is the BEST President I've seen in my half century of life!
As an American I'm proud to have voted for him twice and proud of his accomplishments. Not just the large structural changes like the Affordable Care Act but also the less famous policy changes that are highlighted everyday on the Whitehouse's channel.
This Eulogy just shows what type of man he is and it is good.
President Obama is a rare example of statemanship! Thank you Sir!
2022 and he is still the gold standard of Presidents.
This is one of the most beautiful speeches I've ever heard in my 14 years of life, thank you God
Shout out to the organ player, who jumped in at the end providing exactly what was needed when Obama named the names.
I am so lucky to have lived in Obama's time.What an extra ordinary leader. Thank you Lord.
I just stumbled upon this video, and decided to watch. Mannnnn. All I can say is I miss the comfort that exuded him. His intelligence, charisma, and strength gave hope from the white house. This is a old video now, but there's still something fresh about hearing Obama speak behind a mic.

That's one bad ass brother right there.... through political opposition at every turn... Accepting blame as he says "The buck stops with me".... His wife and daughters have to be proud ... more than proud.... His eulogy included all the victims.... His eulogy included all of South Carolina and America.... What more can the American people want in their president? Grace to all the victims and blessings to the shooter. I fail the families of the victims as I know I could never forgive this act of hate. This helps me realize I need to re-evaluate the faith I grew up with as I have veered away due to being exposed to the evil men do.... I see the good folk of the victims are what I hope to one day be....

The greatest speech President Obama ever gave,today is 4-29-19 and I still cry when I view this service.
Who's still watching this in 2020
I am and many more.
I AM 🙋🏽♀️
I am watching it over and over again because we need a leader. Now it's 2020 He is our leader for the United States of America 🇺🇸
I voted for President Obama for his two terms in office and if he would run again I would vote for him again. He is one of the President that made America great again. Not Trump, he is so stupid.

After 4 years of confusion. I am listening to #44 greatest speech. This is what leadership looks like.
A truly remarkable man. One of the finest statesmen to ever grace our land. What an immense honour it must have been for those fortunate enough to serve by his side. A brilliant orator the likes of which has perhaps never been seen before or, at least, in our recent history.
After much therapy and of coming out a very dark place; At the time, this shooting took place in the AME church I was on my knees spiritually and the Lord guided stay away from the news. I have now watched this sobering speech today. I am thankful that I can apply the advice. Thanks the Lord!
I love what Questlove said: He just went to E flat like he was collaborating with Stevie Wonder and Jam and Lewis. May God bless this man and the United States of America.

Beautiful moment, THIS is how a leader talks in a moment of crisis, no matter what I thought of some of his policies I’ll always respect Obama
Oh My God I love my President! ! What an amazing man! As someone that personally knew Rev. Pickney, I can truly say that he was genuinely a great man. The President's eulogy truly embodied the servant that Reverend Pickney was. My prayers and thoughts go out to his wife and children. I hope they can at least find solace with the knowledge that he not only talked a good game about the Lord, he WALKED in that light also. Dying doing God's work. Rest In Paradise Reverend Pinckney. We can all be so lucky to make it to our heavenly home as you and the other 8 soldiers of God have gone on to through His amazing grace.
nicely said. God Bless You and all people who know Rev. Pinckney.
What did Obama do for the black people that was so "amazing"?? And BE SPECIFIC.
Sorry for your friends death. Amen to his example.
Sorry Pickney wasnt
Elected to the presidency
@@tiffsaver Well, did Obama allow H1N1 or any disease or thing, to Kill Over 160,000 People and did not give a....? Were there ever at least 40M working people laid off and then he called them Lazy? Did Obama ever, withhold supplies from states because they were a red state, not blue? Did he threaten to w/hold funds from Schools? Did he try to Work with both Dems n Repubs? Did he try to reform Health Care and Ask for input? Did he accept Responsibility for any and all mistakes? Did Obama Ever allow the kkk to take over VA in Charlottesville, and say good people on both sides even after, a White Lady, Peaceful Protester was killed? Did Obama ever send in Feds (couldve been White Supremacists) in spite of, the Governor's approval? Did Obama show his Tax documents? His birth certificate? Did he take his own SATs? Can he read? Have Empathy? Did he ever embarrass the American People to the point our dignity and respect No longer exist overseas? Allow Puttin to treat him like a ......? The list goes on; we don't have enough time. But you probably Worship #45!!
Wow...No words...but Amazing Grace
