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.

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...)

@adamwsaxe6 жыл бұрын
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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
