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...) And it's a darn shame. SO I revert to recent history for leaders who inspire and leaders who lead solely by pride they provoke in all fortunate ears who listen. We need or rather I need this.

Before seeing those images many thought the horrors faced by blacks was just talk. They now see the truth and how we really are as people.

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?

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.

Thank you President Obama.

Past all the politics and contention, my god this man can speak in front of a crowd. What a phenomenal bit of public speaking. Taking into account the circumstances, this may be the best speech he gave as president

i'm glad i lived to witness the first african american president for two terms. this man got it.

This man is so grateful and human humble ing he is the best President of United States . Barack Obama Black lives matter no peace no justice amen

This man was a genius.. brought me to tears all the way from Africa..reminds me "some are chosen" he truly was and is

President Obama is a rare example of statemanship! Thank you Sir!

Watching this in 2018... he truly is a great man with such grace, conviction and dignity.

What a speech! I will remember this for a long long time.

This is one of the most beautiful speeches I've ever heard in my 14 years of life, thank you God

I am amazed. This is one of the most powerful speeches i have heard. And I'm thinking of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech and Kennedy's inaugural address here. And that we have achieved anything in spite of the vile, ruthless and underhanded attempts to sabotage his administration is a testament to him.

The world should be proud of our President.!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great Eulogy.

THIS is what an American President sounds like. This is a MAN. This is one who speaks with us as Americans must be spoken with. THIS is character and integrity peronafied. Thank you sir for all that.

This has always been my favorite hymn. And now it means even more

The greatest speech EVER by a president. The greatest courage exists in Barack Obama, and he has accomplished the greatest things. He will long be remembered as one of our countries greatest presidents. I have never been so proud of an American leader as when he burst into song, may we all find that amazing grace in our hearts.

I just stumbled upon this video, and decided to watch. Mannnnn. All I can say is I miss the comfort that exuded him. His intelligence, charisma, and strength gave hope from the white house. This is a old video now, but there's still something fresh about hearing Obama speak behind a mic.

One day after Trump's press conference on Charlottesville protests... I thought it might be a good time to watch this.

I have so much reverence for spiritual, brilliant, creative, funny, classy, sensitive, sophisticated, linguistically gifted black men who are leaders... And this one can dance and sing too. He is a devoted father and husband. POTUS is all of that!!

It is uplifting to hear the heart fell and honest words of a real president that honor the victims of a hate crime.

2022 and still have to listen to this now and again.

As a British black man in his 50s. I looked up to Obama. he gave me hope. He was a special President.

I can't understand the reason why there's people disliking this video ,one of the most popular things delivered by our president for a good cause ..I'm just not understanding y one would dislike this,in was in tears

A most moving Eulogy...one for the ages. I pray its call for Grace re-directs our America to a promised land where all are accepted in love and peace.

Beautiful moment, THIS is how a leader talks in a moment of crisis, no matter what I thought of some of his policies I’ll always respect Obama

This master Eulogy and homily from Obama is always fresh in my mind. It always reminds me how special his presidency was but above all the message strengthens me in Faith. Kampala, Uganda.

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 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?

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.

Jeff McCargar New Brunswick here. I shared this video with my friends, and stated that we will be looking for a new Prime Minister soon. Haha. You're right.

I needed to hear Obama singing Amazing Grace today.

After 4 years of confusion. I am listening to #44 greatest speech. This is what leadership looks like.

Shout out to the organ player, who jumped in at the end providing exactly what was needed when Obama named the names.

10/25/19 I just need to be reminded of leadership and maturity. This was beautiful!!

It's 2024 and I am still in AWE of this moment. What an absolute legend. We need this kind of servant leadership now more than ever.

A truly remarkable man. One of the finest statesmen to ever grace our land. What an immense honour it must have been for those fortunate enough to serve by his side. A brilliant orator the likes of which has perhaps never been seen before or, at least, in our recent history.

The greatest speech President Obama ever gave,today is 4-29-19 and I still cry when I view this service.

I'm not religious in any way... I watched this in high school English class. But I keep coming back to this video. I find the stories told in a religion... the whole idea of a sentient God... practically absurd, until I come across some evidence that shows a God exists. But I firmly believe in and respect Judeo-Christian ethical values. This is a great eulogy.

Beautiful words, powerful words, God's Grace is desperately needed🙏❤️

Watching this again almost a year and a half later, and ten minutes in I am already crying like a baby. This was such a beautiful service and a powerful eulogy by our great President. I feel especially sad knowing that our country is going from the wonderful and wise Barack Obama to someone like Donald Trump. With the increase in hate crimes since the election I fear another terrible tragedy like this is bound to happen, and I shudder to think of how Trump will handle it. Certainly not with grace and such respect for those whose lives were lost. I don't think I could even stomach listening to him, knowing how insincere his words would be. We must hold Trump accountable for the lies and empty words he speaks, and try not to let him destroy the legacy of President Obama.
