He's disappointed me in many ways, but at times like this, I remember how much worse the alternatives would have been. This is a president whose words don't embarrass us in front of other countries.

A perfect demonstration...while people are gunned down in the house of God he doesn't interfere...ever. Everything is allowed without a squawk from God. In the words of George Carlin..."Religion is bullshit", yet here they are singing to that invisible man. Yes I believe in God...just not that one. Man was given all the spiritual tools to exist in this world which includes defending one's self. It may also mean shutting down media that are indoctrinating people and instigating violence and division of Americans. Why do you think they call it 'hate radio'? or GOP tv (FOX). They are creating monsters just to make a buck or gain power. It's not opposition news...it's enemy plotting. These groups don't believe in working within our laws or compromising or planning with the majority...they want total tyranny...their way or none at all.. To be a republican today means you are anti-American

You really have to listen to the speech leading up to him singing Amazing Grace to get the full meaning of "grace" that he is conveying. So amazingly beautiful and inspiring. Good luck trying to keep a dry eye!

Thanks for posting the video. I heard it on the radio as it happened. SEEING it now adds so much power to what was an amazing
eulogy!

That was the most powerful and moving public speech I've ever heard. No one else could have done that. No other person, no other president. That was a whole other level. Truly historic. Chills and tears here.

Thanks for posting.

This man is MY President. I am so glad I voted for him, twice, without reservation. He's not perfect, but he's the best man we've had in the White House since FDR, and maybe even longer than that.

I listened to the whole speech, and all I could think while listening was, what would W or Willard or McGrumpy done in his place. God, we are so fortunate to have this man SACRIFICE EIGHT FOOK'N YEARS OF HIS LIFE to serve as President of this worthless, ignorant, nation of morons.

Grace..yes, we have received it. Thank you for asking.
