disgusting speech by a man who will someday be in jail for the highest crime possible.........
trying to use his office to steal election from his successor
It is what they do, cry and accuse everyone of holding them down
They being the democrats, each trying to sound more black than the next
Meanwhile they are the ones enslaving black people all across the country and pitting one group
against the other
If you can go buy beer and cigarettes you can get in line to vote

It was a eulogy/speech for John Lewis and his supporters. I'm pretty sure he would approve.  Personally, I'm overjoyed that Obama is finally back in the game. It's about 4 years too late. |

I listened to the speech and nothing new here. Politicians taking cheap shots at one another even at a funeral speech does not surprise me at all. Does anyone have a chance besides biden and trump?  Biden better pick a good VP running mate for he or more likely she will be the 1st female step in President.  |

Ya Obama may be back in the news soon. I think some facts about past conduct have been uncovered. Hopefully indictments will be forthcoming. I can only hope. |

Just when I think Obama couldn't get any more classless he proves me wrong. This was a eulogy for a great man but Obama turned it into a campaign speach. Pure classlessness. I Ike the fact he finally endorses Biden after no one is left. Makes me wonder what he thinks of his VP after all. Personally I wish he would take the millions of dollars he made from the presidency and go the hell away. But he keeps showing up like a bad rash.. |

I saw a news article a few days ago with biden and obama sitting in a room and they were supposidly discussing bidens presidency run. This got me to thinking, bidens been in politics for 100 years, why is he taking advice from a relative newcomer. I'm sure we all realize it was just a "photo op" for the weakminded! |

Just in case we have all forgotten, when someone is asked to speak at the funeral, the expectation is that you give an eulogy. What is a Eulogy? A eulogy is a remembrance speech that pays tribute to someone who has died.
Given at a funeral or memorial service, the eulogy highlights the deceased’s unique qualities, importance in the lives of loved ones, and lasting impact on family and community. Most funerals include at least one eulogy, if not two or more, and the eulogy is often delivered by someone who knew the deceased well — a close family member, friend, or colleague.
Purpose of a Eulogy
A eulogy reflects on what was special about a person, how they impacted those around them, and how they will be remembered now that they’re gone. The eulogy may include anecdotes about the person who has died, a list of accomplishments, their favorite quotes, or lessons learned. A eulogy may be a highly personal reflection that describes the speaker’s relationship with the deceased; or a eulogy may incorporate the memories and perspectives of many family members, friends, or colleagues. To use the funeral of someone as a political playground to make personal attacks on anyone is not only demeaning to the person being eulogized but also an indication of the character of the person making said remarks. https://www.legacy.com/advice/what-is-a-eulogy/ |

It business as usual Obama did a classless thing and made the funeral about politics. The left screams its nice to have a person that sounds like a president. When Obama gets called on it and it was wrong the only thing the left has to offer is to try to make Trump look bad.
Dont you wish they would at some point stand on the merits of their own actions, instead of trying to make everyone look worse since their own actions condemn them so badly. Maybe people would see that that they actually have honor and can actually accomplish something rather than the destruction that they ferment.
If Obama acts presidential then why did he do this at this funeral. If you have class you don't act classless.
