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.
@@buildthewallwiththewoke 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!
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
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?✌
Will Pack They don't worship it, Einstein.
@Will Pack Whose talking about debt you clown ?
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.
Our nation elected a man like Obama twice. We know how to do it. Now we must work together to correct our huge national mistake. All is not lost if we have the courage to act. Vote!!!
And that man is already working on voter suppression.
We have no Obama quality man nominated.
@@WillChil466 Thank God.
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.
Full sentences? Rhetoric aimed towards unification and cooperation? Embracing everyone's vote?
What is this, 2012?
Cory Richard go get your President out the bunker boy. Love your hate make me smile

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
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...
"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
@B dub agree
I wish I had half the conviction or bravery that John Lewis had.
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 UA-cam 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.
Such an eloquent and heartfelt eulogy-Mr. Lewis memory deserves no less. God bless the United States of America.
LMAO .. Did you even listen.... It was a damn POLITICAL RALLY Not a funeral eulogy... What a low down dog that OBOZO is... SO DISRESPECTFUL to Mr Lewis ..
classickruzer1 nah, you are just another Alex Jones like the other guy and perhaps the one after you. I’d say to y’all, stfu.
Fuga Mante well said bro. It’s clear the bots are attacking this video hard. Sad thing is they think the same old tricks will work a 2nd time around...

A true leader and a great man and great President
He lead you right into his attack on police across the nation so well you didn't even realize it, causing even more division.
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 UA-cam 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
God bless you Pres. Obama, and Rep. Lewis. Love you both. Such honorable men
Go to hell Obama you treasonous rat bastard.
StS9LBJ23 WoW so much hate for what ?? 😑
You mean like giving medals to pedophiles?
Perseverance. A more perfect union. A more just society. We have so much to do. Vote like your life depends on it...
Billy Glover because it does sir indeed
Trump2020 vote!!
Nicholas Hernandez Hell hasn't found you yet. No respect at all.
not for biden.
True!!
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.
I didn’t know I needed this until now I was just reminded of what a president is and the definition of public service
Kai W - yeah illegally spying on political opponents is not public service, it’s treason.
StS9LBJ23 no evidence Obama had the least corrupt admin in US history
@@kaiw9254 Who told you Obama had the least corrupt administration in history? That's definitely not true. Want me to talk about how he catered to illegals and wrote unauthorized executive orders giving them illegal temporary citizenship?
@@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.
Thank you Mr. President - you give me hope. We need you now more than ever.
U need to wake up woman. Ugh
@B dub awesome!!!
He in the video is not Mr. President. He is former President Something...
Gave you hope... All I got was the leftover change phuck you and your beloved BO
Best President EVER!!!!!!! TRUMP IS LITERALLY OBSESSED WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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
A remarkable man being eulogized by a remarkable man who became President because of the sacrifices of John Lewis and other remarkable people, keep up the good trouble.....Obama will always be my President
@Athena Net John Lewis, would have loved it.... Obama is more intelligent, classy, charismatic, popular and financially successful than any man you have ever been with or ever will....Those you lay with are dirty human beings and so are you
@Carlos Stranger John Lewis would have loved it....Expand your knowledge base beyond Fox news....I
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.
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.
i miss you i miss you I miss you and your family in the white house and all that that meant it was joyful kind loving and filled with integrity knowledge of oppression and you nailed it thank YOU!

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.
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.
Presidential with no real results
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.

@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.
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
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
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.
John Lewis was a very courageous man. We need more like him....Now...
He was a election denier
Mr. Lewis you packed a lot into your “ - “. The world is a better place because you were in it! RIP THANK YOU! ❤️🇨🇦
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
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.
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
Thank You John Lewis you ran the race and kept the Faith🙏🏽
What an inspiration to listen to what a True President sounds like. The country misses you.
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..
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
Liam's niece, son lewis has done more for this country than so many of us will ever get the chance to. respect what he did at the very least
Obama doing what John Lewis promoted. “When you see something wrong, speak up, get in good trouble” he’s doing just that.
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
Barack Obama is a born orator; what an amazing speech this was.
Its called master bullshit artist.
@@mr.e2136 Yeah because he isn't responsible for 150,000 dead Americans and counting based on his lack of leadership like your so called current leader, trump in case you didn't know of whom I speak. Your comments are so common and weak, find another way to convince yourself.
God I miss him.
You will meet him when you are burning in hell
Hey trumpo losers in this thread, shut up you losers
Wonderful man. Wonderful President.
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.....
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!
My President
I am glade, not my president
@@robdillon2788 I can see that cause you spell like the one in office
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!!!!
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
One beautiful human celebrating the life of another beautiful human. 💙🙏🏼🌊
A beautiful and well spoken speech by a wonderful president we miss 🙏🙏u and need u
Who are "we"?
@@D1337ification Amen!
Yeah, I heard Obama add a southern drawl to his accent and I instantly hated my straight dem voting parents and knew they hated pedos and blacks
We need God. Not another wicked man.
@@D1337ification uhmmm name calling. Are you a bully. No one has to agree with you
Watched this today and was not disappointed. Had forgotten what it is was like to have a human being possessing actual empathy as a President.
This is what “Presidential” looks like. Thank you Presidents Bush, Clinton & Obama.
Oh please, get a life moron!!
Like he said we at the Postal Service are going to have to fight the fight because that CLOWN running the white house is trying to undermine us, not happening.
Come on November
Thank you, President Obama,
It's on all of US now :
Get On The Bus
There's a few empty seats lately...
Yes, the empty seats are from the rioters in your party.
Heard greyhound has lost a ton on money since covid... That's why the seats are empty
@@youWoNtLikeMe04 no, it's the rioters...
@@joestupid2571 still an empty seat, like BHusseinO's empty suit.
I got my seat on the bus!!! let's VOTE!!!
We shan't give up, we shall keep on marching until we get there by his grace Ameen
I miss the days when people called evil evil.....
Me too! Obama is evil!
AGREE, HE KNOWS REAL DIRTY DEMS ARE EVIL...
THEY HAVE BETTER COSTUMES TO HIDE BEHIND...FANTASY ORGY ISLAND ISNT DONE JUST YET..
3000 PEOPLE SHOT IN CHICAGO THIS YEAR
Don't forget he got Juicy Smugglenuts off Scott Free. He was the worst of the Trump Haters. Pure Evil all of them.
Psst...hey Obama...pssst... Your campaign is over..take the rest of your life off...and put a mask on...you don't want to get Micheal sick do you!🙄
Troy Yeagley BIG MIKE!
I miss you Mr. President. I felt safe on your watch. I don't feel safe now. This was a beautiful tribute.
Now that’s how a true President is supposed to act, think and sound like!!!
Horrible
Thomas Ford nah
Lies,sedition,lies,sedition,lies,sedition theres obamas legacy in a nutshell!!!
GOD ITS BEEN SO LONG HAVING A CLASS ACT PRESIDENT WHO CALMED YOU AND CARRIED HIMSELF PRESIDENTIAL WITH DIGNITY AND GRACE....MISS YOU BARACK OBAMA❤❤❤❤
He was on Epsteins flight logs to is kiddo island. So what Michael His Husband. Bill Gates George Clooney the Clinton's. Google Epsteins Flight list.
@@PovertyEntertainmentOfficial nah
@@sebastian.v2 perfect sound a sheep makes naaahhh baaahhhaa....
Thats why he was so good a fooling ya.. He was a great speaker, just not a very good president..
@@PovertyEntertainmentOfficial We may not agree on some things, but I can see from your channel that you enjoy subway sandwiches. At least we have that in common. 🔥
Amen. He will come to be regarded as one of the finest leaders our country has ever had. And - thank heavens - he isn't done yet.
The hell he will.
I am so deeply affected by President Obama's words here today. I want. To honour his words about this blessed and good man who went before. John Lewis
Eloquence and Class. What a beautiful tribute to a great man.
This is a true President.
He used to be...technically. otherwise...
Yes a true racist, a man who set race relations back 50 years!
What a lesson in public speaking. Outstanding speech
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
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.
Wow! How a real eulogy is done. Pure class.
This was NOT a eulogy - it was B.O bloviating with another one of his long winded political speeches.
@@S955US84 You are utterly clueless. Bless your heart.
And he focused on John.
@@lesliehopkins6582 - Can you even read what you type you ignorant fool?
Imagine if Trump did this, you guys would go nuts that he used a funeral to make a campaign speech.
Trumps Eulogy: To my evangelical followers, I say, Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV.!!
Funny as hell..I’m dead🤣🤣😂😂😂😅!!!!
💀
Letha Oliphant you won’t be laughing before during and after the debates. You think sleepy Joe will make it out of his basement? Orange man rules Sleeping Joe Drools 🤤 HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA
Why did you interrupt the flow to even mention his foolishness? I was enjoying the relevant comments.
😂🤣💀
Thanks for this beautiful message! My John Lewis Rest In Pease🙏🏻
He can still bring tears to my eyes. Obama touches my soul. May his words come true, I pray.
Who doesn’t want to live peacefully? Who doesn’t want want to live equally? Why in the earth would you not want free education, cleaner air, live more organic?? Think about what you are doing!? If you can’t hear our voices, you will hear them on election day.
Sure will. Trump 2020
Yep.. Trump ...loud and clear!🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️
These are miserable, unhappy people, they are also racists with no options in life....garbage
Tell Harvard you won't pay.. just show up for class. I bet they'd love to let you sit in. LIBERAL LOSER
russian trolls and peanut brain trump dead enders.
Amazing job President Obama. It was really hard to not cry.
RIP John Lewis
Yes, one of the best lies he has ever told.
Yea having to listen the that worthless bastard always brings a tear to my eye as well, what a POS
I miss having a president.
@@mr.e2136 No he isn't. In fact, he isn't even A President. He just a lousy joke played on the American people by Putin. His time of bullying is over, he better have his bags packed because he is out come November!
Well said. We haven't had a president since Obama left.
@@mr.e2136 A title doesn't make you a President. Just like a man who has tons of babies he doesn't take care of makes him a father, or a mother so stung out on drugs she can't take care of her children, makes her a mother. There are certain terms, responsibilities and capabilities that go along with titles. Either you can fill those shoes or you can't. Not only has Trump proven he lacks knowledge of the constitution, he lacks the moral fiber to grace the position and status of President. He holds the title, but he's not presidential.
@@breakthewheelnow8223 onald Trump is you're president you moron
You mean a president who believed in The New World Order Globalization just like Hitler and Joe Biden, Clinton’s, Bush’s, George Soros etc
now, this was a President. not one lie, not one divisive comment, no name-calling or false bravado. one of the best Presidents of my lifetime. i am proud to call him my President.
I'm proud to say byeeeeeee...worst president ever . He isn't even an American
You're drunk
Don't say he didn't lie. I am sure he told some. And he did some things that were not particularly great.
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.
