We needed to hear a caring, eloquent and empathetic leader speak. I'm grateful 🙏🏾 🥹🤗

Look at how he puts sentences together! Can’t we have that again? I weep in want for a leader who can articulate!

As per usual.

My God I miss an intelligent & eloquent speaking President.

I really miss him.

I really miss having an orator, who can move people with words, as a president.

Teared up 🥲

Incredible emotional closing. I was born by the river. RIP Jesse Jackson

Of course he does. He is a man of integrity and compassion.

i do enjoy his pacing

Oh, how I miss that man.

Cue the meltdown at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue...

🕊 ❤️

He’s always inspirational and aspirational. And always credits the predecessors and makes us look forward with hope. 💙

So good

Still in shock that a majority of white people were so upset that this man was president that we got a fucking moron in return. There are very few comparisons to this man. On the brighter side, Trump will be going to bed jealous tonight and Obama will probably get a mean tweet.

HOPE

I miss him so much. I miss being proud of our President. I miss feeling safe. I miss a sane government. I miss listening to a coherent moving speech.

But, organizers, do not put Joe Biden right after that. Elder abuse.

Of course he does.. he always does..

And a standing ovation at a funeral tribute. We need his calm everyday

The World surely misses this

He is pure class.

Spellbinding

The glory of full cognitive sentences

The pendulum swings! America went from a compassionate caring decent man to a festering pustule of greed, corruption and hate an utter demon! I hope when the pendulum swings back it is the polar opposite of trump because we sorely need it!

The man is incredible. The world needs him so much right now. A concerned Brit.

Oh how we need him now…

I believe. I believe in the path the Reverend Jesse Jackson saw and helped lay for those of us with a soul to follow. A soul that recognises the courage it takes to keep believing that humanity is worth saving. That cruelty is wrong. That our science, adapability and art matters. Rest in POWER sir.

The GOAT

Honesty and integrity is like that.

Which is the truth that he tells so eloquently 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Obama has presence, poise, intelligence, and eloquence. Trump has none of those things just arrogance, stupidity, pettiness, vindictiveness, and spite.

President Obama tells no lies, only the truth!!!🙏🙏🙏👍 God bless you.

God I miss him.

How on earth did you go from this man to the thing crouched in its fools gold encrusted lair in the White House today? Disgraceful.

Now THIS is Presidential 💙

Intelligence, professionalism, empathy and compassion, yeah I miss it all! Trump could never! 👎🏽

It may not have been a standing ovation in the traditional sense — more an expression of the collective grief felt across much of the nation.

As he does.

If you missed Sharpton's speech, it's worth looking up. Jackson would have been proud.

Quite humorous when Obama started to speak and there was some chanting in the background. Maybe “4 more years” or something similar. Whatever they were chanting, Obama said “no, I follow the constitution”!

Been watching it on Wgn. Pretty amazing with Bidens, Clinton’s, Obama and Harris there!

Beautiful.

I miss him. 🥹

And I'll never never forget Jesse Jackson, on the night of Obama's election, with tears running down his face. Never, never.

It was beautiful to listen to a president who makes sense and doesn't talk like a 6th grader. The fat orange pedophile could not speak a decent sentence if his life depended on it.

He speaks so eloquently

Pity he did not tackle Putin when he invaded Ukraine and shot down MH17 in 2014. That legacy still haunts as does his naive deal with Khamenei in 2015.

I mean, I even miss the gaffs and mispronunciations like "nucular" of GWB at this point. Even is "aww shucks" approach to speeches would be better than a rambling incoherent narcissist dementia patient.

Full sentences, no deviation, no repetition, engaging with others.

So sincere, such an eloquent speaker, how I miss his leadership.

And now with Biden, CNN proves that they cannot cover an event, they have to explain it. They really are amongst the worst.

We miss our President.

We did not deserve one second of his time. 😭

He could read aloud the telephone book and I'd listen to every word. For those who don't know what a telephone book is, it's a really big contact list with everyone in it.

Best president I experienced in my lifetime. Not perfect, but the best.

He did the best speech, as well as Isaiah Thomas and Clinton... Joe and Kamala talked too much about their own achievements.

He’s inspirational in every sense of the word. I hate where we’ve gone

Barry covered up for the Pedophiles too.

Appreciate the namecheck for Bernie starting at 0:45 👍

I could hear him speak all day long

It hurts to remember someone as an elegant speaker and great president we used to have. I could listen to him all day long.

Damn l miss those day went Obama was a president,💔

And, imagine that, he's not rambling about gold drapes, windmills, or not getting the Nobel Peace Prize (oh, that's right - he already received that 😹).

Obama gets "it". He understands that today is a day to honor Rev Jackson. He understands that he would not be there if not for Rev Jackson. Yet he keeps the focus on Jacksons accomplishments and not himself. This is how you honor the people that came before you and paved the way. Fly high Reverend.

I love President Obama. He gives me hope.

Talk about someone who should get a third term. That's the guy right there.

Longing for the good ol’ days of a vigorous, healthy, SANE, law-abiding government servant as President, no doubt. One who was fully owned by corporations rather than foreign dictators, as American Presidents should be. Uh, maybe we need to rethink that legal bribery thing with CU, come to think…

I can hear something smelly and yellow seething with envy.

👏👏👏👏❤️

I had to stand up with everyone else. It just happened. I’ve never done that before!

It was wonderful, typical Barack style! 💙💙💙💙💙

A towering throwback to more gracious, dignified times.

Leadership is necessary not because people don't know what to do but because they fear to do it unless others do it with them.

As it always is. The man is simply mesmerizing in front of a crowd speaking from the heart. He is a man of the people.

Yup. I'm one of them.💞👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

🙏🏽🙏🏽

me too! 🥺

So does the rest of the world!

So true. The power of speech built upon a theme, ideas…filled with resonance It is grounding to hear

Amazing man.

They” never figured it out either!

One of his speech writers said that his job was like being Ted Williams’s batting coach. Q

Wgn Chicago is broadcasting it

We don’t give a damn what he “thinks”! Also, “thinks” is debatable!

So your current President didn’t go to the funeral? Too busy playing golf?

I think the kids he put in cages and drone-bombed their parents might disagree. . .

It was, as usual, per poetry and passion. I loved everything he said.

Meanwhile Windmills cause cancer - Tylenol causes Autism---and Trump will never start a war in the middle east.

Amazing . . . . ♥️

I will tell you why. it’s because unfortunately, at the core, we, the United States of America, are a bunch of fucking racist‼️‼️ PS I’m an old white guy.

We want him back in the White House. 😭

He really is AMAZING!

I love that man 😭

That guy can talk Great to listen to someone who has dignity and grace

Nice to be reminded we can elect men with ethics, empathy, and intelligence. We all just need to VOTE against the MAGA hate

I just can’t even. Tears of sadness for the U.S. for what they had and for what they have become

I watched it live. I was just about to leave when he came on. Notice how speakers briefly look at their notes. They spoke from their hearts. Such a great speech.

And look at what we're stuck with now. He can't string together a coherent sentence.

Of course he does…

I miss this man , this president what an orator 💛 it’s such a shame the kkk southern politicians tied this man’s hands yet he ran for a 2nd term . Inspite of the ignorant level of racism he faced he still gave us the ACA. Do better American public and show you can rise above propaganda.

I miss having an eloquent, compassionate and intelligent president.

"Once you label me, you negate me," said Søren Kierkegaard. And that is the challenge of human survival -to experience life without negation. surftofind.com Re-post to survive this mess...

Wow…a speech with a message and not just some guy going “he was great….he was great…some say I’m greater, but you’re not supposed to say that in a eulogy…”

A president that looked a dictator like he was dirt under his shoes, not walking meekly behind one like a whipped dog.

And why wouldn’t you. I so miss Mr. Obama.

You know Jesse Jackson was a great human being and it is only appropriate that great humans sing his praises and mourn his lost.

Gods, I miss him...

😂

I miss having real leadership at the helm. We are in seriously dangerous times and we have a bunch of grifters and abusers in charge.

Show the Sesame Street clip to the children in your lives. They can listen once, and chant along the second time. Kids love it!

Lord have mercy, but I do miss having a president who can speak.
