"It took a man like Madiba to free not just the prisoner, but the jailer as well." That is so powerful.

[@grazzellian]

President Obama never fails to soar to inspire when the moment calls for it. Awesome.

[@FlashGordonGetsMing]

Whilst his drones never fail to soar to expire when he calls for the assassination of people without trial.

[@dreydel]

+Flash Gordon lies you count

[@grazzellian]

+Rasmus dreydel That's what I'm talking about, right here!! We occasionally deal with semi-literate nincompoops and ignoramuses like you with nothing positive to contribute, whose sole interest in politics is to lend his disingenuous talents as the trolling mouthpiece of the racist idiots like you.

[@AlvinSeville1]

Obama is a fraud and accounts to nothing more than a washed-up salesman. He's useless.

[@AbrahamLincoln4]

@@AlvinSeville1 but he ain't no tyrant. He got a awesome personality. But that's your opinion. Mr Alvin.

Great video but this was not the funeral but a memorial service. This was held in the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg . His funeral was held in his village in Umtata.

[@SimplyVee96]

In Madiba's words "Other countries think their battles are our battles" South Africa have a very good relationship with Cuba. Especially with the impact they make with our medical students.

Crazy that South Africans don't have a clue about how bad our leaders really are. They had the best one of all time. Hearing this puppet along with all the others in this government is a true slap in the face. RIP to a true leader.

Mathview I know!! I just read in my abnormal psychology book about his hallucinations due to bipolar disorder and or schizophrenia

[@astrophotos8368]

@@ambarvizcarra9656 Interesting. But people with Bipolar I or II disorder don't have hallucinations. You're thinking of schizophrenia.

[@ambarvizcarra9656]

An Amateur's Astrophotography Hallucinations are not limited to schizophrenia. Things like a severe manic episode and psychosis can also result in hallucinations.
