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. Cynthia Graham I will never forget you or your kindness. You were an angel on earth and I'm sorry you didn't get more time here to spread your love.
So sad, we can all take solace Sister Cynthia is with our Lord Jesus Christ, he took all that pain and suffering away.
I am here in 2020 to remind myself what a leader looks and sounds like
Me too
I'm here to remember whats its like to have a real leader we can be pround of
Me too
So true
say that again. a real president. a real leader.
Who is here again in 2020. I can't still get enough of him in this very speech.
Especially after another murder, needed to hear wise and reasonable voice.
@Ripsaw17 Dennis 🤡
@Ripsaw17 Dennis think of it not as a presidency issue, but please admire his even attempt at humanity. Even he would acknowledge he wasnt a president for the blacks, but for all people.

Thank you the Rev. Mr. President. The first Kenyan President of America.
I've run out of superlatives to describe this man. This is my President.
Amen! He makes me PROUD to be an American!

You stupid moron. What did Barack Hussein Obama, the first gay Muslim president, ever do for his own people, particularly in his beloved state of Chicago?? I'll be anxiously awaiting your answer...
This is why they hate him he destroys all their view of what it means to be black, his intelligence, his faith, his family and his calmness and peace...........
You hit the nail on the head. Its been our faith and hope that has helped us endure the condition we were in to progress to this hour. They try their best to discredit him, but God's grace is sufficient
Veronica Garcia Jesus said everything he needed to in the sermon on the mount, the first will be last and the last will be first and that is what they are afraid of, they see it happening now. They think they are loosing something instead of sharing something. Like a little child who does not want to share his toy......
Maurice Jones The true test is to find supernatural strength by having relationship with God not just religious piety. The pharisses knew the word but didn't hide it in their heart nor did they comprehend grace. You cannot let hatred, fear, the pride of life contaminate your heart. The whole world was watching not one riot? Not one. We are not the savages they depict us as.
Veronica Garcia We show Grace as a the President said. Blacks and Hispanics, and the Irish have been historically the most dedicated religious people in our country but when they speak of the religious you always see white churches.
The story is getting out there like when the nation and the world saw the hoses, dogs and cattle prods being placed on young people peacefully marching. 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.
dave long His mother was a child of the MOST HIGH GOD!
I can NEVER imagine anyone in his rightful mind hating this man. God Bless You President Obama.
Remember, the same type of people hated Jesus...
@Curtis Jones I think Trump's ass will be kicked the hardest.
@@twright3802 AMEN
Amen... i go back to watch him during times like now when not a spine in sight nor a Republican in Congress fit to shine President Obama's shoes.... except maybe two (2) who instead of denying the serious threat to our democracy January 6 actually posed or celebrating ?? the good patriots who used confederate flags like spears to kill and inflict pain on the scattering of police officers compelled to do the job that 100 more men might have struggled to furnish the protected that was needed on that day. it hurt -- that day hurt. 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. You are so right. God bless a man who made me proud made a country proud. And John McCain stepped aside with true grace. (Wow, watch "Game Change" on HBO if you haven't already. A based-in-truth account of that election and the grace that even a Sarah Palin couldn't kill
Yes even if he bombed the ahit outta you in the ME you shouldn’t hate him!
Coming back to this in 2022 for some much needed positivity, uplifting, and heartfelt words. No matter your politics, no matter your beliefs, no matter your race, no matter your gender, we can all find truths in this. We can all find love in this. We can all find emotion in this. This is the Eulogy of a good man, a man who dedicated himself, put others before. Someone we all can learn from.
Q
It's important to remember that he's not running for re-election here. I believe he truly spoke his mind, and I continue to be impressed by his eloquence. And if, after leaving the Presidency, he goes into a singing career, I'll buy his albums.
David Scott You must have like his "Al green" rendition also, huh?
David Scott - Gonna be pretty disappointing if we get another homespun faux folksy cowboy who went to college for 10 years but somehow thinks 'book lernin' is fer sissies.
David Scott David Obama was and always will be a great politician with high quality speech skills and diplomacy
+George Pitsounis where the fuck did you get David from?
Tyler Nelson I think he meant "David, Obama was..." addressing me.
Our Black and shinning Prince ... makes us proud to be who we are. Hallelujah!
PREACH! Love out POTUS!!!
Naimah Fuller He truly is! I hope the events in Charleston help others remember this as a defining moment where our president stopped and preached the Gospel in this awful time.
***** I think she does... She only celebrates the moment different from u.
Not if he compromises the truths of the gospel!
I am still trying to understand how such a great man is hated so much in this country.... I mean Seriously!!
Mrtwothousand Smutwell Many "reasons" but mostly the same reason the 9 people were killed in this church.
I heard Barack's interview on Marc Maron's podcast and the President is an astonishingly "mature" individual.
To quote Public Enemy, "Don't Believe the Hype". Barack won the popular vote TWICE. Most of America appreciates to Loves the Obamas!
Mrtwothousand Smutwell Great man have always been hated by their community. Because what makes them great is their willingness to take a stand. And there are just as many out there willing to take opposing stands too. Those who are loved by many are hated by just as many and become significant. Those who do not illicit an emotional response are just forgotten. In 10 years time, watch when people ask Mitt who?
Mrtwothousand Smutwell because he is black they hate obama more than they love america.
***** your an ass.... I bet your gonna vote for #donaldtrump
***** Quick: Which US political party has continuously and openly done whatever they can to block progress, waste money, kill jobs, promote discrimination, step on the poor and embarrass the US as a whole with stupid comments and actions? Who has promoted acts of war more than Obama?If you guessed the Republican Party, you are correct.Who is the worst of the party?If you guessed Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz, you are correct.However, Marco Antonio Rubio, John Andrew Boehner , Addison Mitchell "Mitch" McConnell, Thomas Bryant "Tom" Cotton, Lindsey Olin Graham, Joni Kaye Ernst, Darrel Edward Issa, Louis Buller "Louie" Gohmert, Paul Davis Ryan or really any other member would also be accepted.
This is one of the best speeches I have ever seen.
I am a conservative republican studying political science and law and looking to run for office someday under that affiliation, but I have to admit. He was a man of Christ and smart, genuine guy. I would seek his advice if I ever came to high office.
No you are no conservative you are a RINO !! Just change your party no true God loving and God fearing conservative would ask this one for advice. He took out tax dollars to fund Iran, Isis to murder innocent babies. I simply thank God everyday of my life he is gone from 1600 Pennsylvania avenue.
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?
Charlie best of luck my brother. I am a liberal, just became an attorney and want to get into politics as well. We need more people like you.
@@tammywines9771 thanks to trump and the spineless, soul-less, immoral, greedy, ignorant, racist bastards that call themselves republicans today, you are in good company... your party has sold out the american people and the country- and as far as real, true patriotic Americans like President Obama are concerned, there is love and hope for everyone... even for you and your pathetic party... you see a truly Christian man in this video... his every utterance is filled with grace and goodness... something trump and the racist republicans know NOTHING about...

"… who's eloquence is worthy of praise." I had almost forgotten what a well spoken person sounded like …
I cannot even imagine any other president being able to deliver such a beautiful & heartfelt eulogy to those 9 murdered victims. He's got the fire in the belly & the spirit fills him!
This man! This man brought tears to my eyes. As an atheist, I would've stepped into the line of fire to protect the innocent slain. Such is the power of Communion, the embrace of Faith, the call of Grace.
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.
@Curtis Jones q
The truth has no affiliation. It belongs to everyone and everything.
That is a President. Period.
He was born to lead. One of the greatest man in this world. God bless Mr. President Obama and Michelle.
Well said!!
I was 12 when he was elected and 20 when he left. He will forever be my president, even though I’m Canadian. He was a real leader, a man that believed in people. A man that believed that the world could be a more loving and tolerant place. God bless Mr. Obama. The world, not just America, needs your leadership more now than ever. We are so divided and we really need a unifier right now. And you beautiful voice was one of love and community. We need you in our lives right now.
In 2022 I'm still loving this. Never fails to bring a tear to my eye.

May it bring come comfort to the afflicted families of those so senselessly cut down.

+jewels easterman Well do tell - what would you call a good President?
For me this pleasecutthecrap.com/obama-accomplishments/ is enough considering that the President had to deal with that party of NO all the way. Or do you think the GOP did ANYTHING FOR the country? If they did, please tell us about it! I am waiting...
R.I.P to all those who died. I cannot believe that the relatives of the victims forgave the murderer. America you are a great country. I'm a Hindu Indian and let me tell you, every human being regardless of faith or colour is saddened by this act.
And you should be proud of your President.

I came to find comfort in this time of great division even in this time of a pandemic and senseless killings of black youths
Senseless?
Was blind but now I see! Barack Obama you rock!! Do I fall short? Absolutely! But through God's grace I trudged the road of happy destiny. And trudged means to walk with purpose. I pray that through God's grace I will live a life of gratitude. Was blind but now I see.
This man is historical. There is nothing more that can be really said. God Bless our President and God Bless the United States of America.
I don't always agree w/President Obama, Political views aside, this has to be one of, if not the Greatest Eulogy of all time. This beautiful event, in the wake of a horrific act, goes hand in hand w/the family members forgiving that kid right after it happened. My heart goes out to all those families that lost loved ones. I do not know if I could've forgiven, instead of harboring hate & anger as they have... but their actions caused me to rethink and see thing through a new lens...of light & love. God Bless
BARACK OBAMA WAS GREAT SPEECH MAKER. NOTHING ELSE.
AMEN
Its March 26, 2020 and we are in the depths of a global pandemic with no end in sight. I came here to hear words of reassurance, comfort and grace. Thank you, Mr. President.
Here exactly four years later, and what a four years it has been. Reassurance, comfort, grace-speech still hits.
5 years later in June 2020, we are just now realizing the truth in your words...Thank you President Obama for your everlasting wisdom and leadership!

My heart is so heavy, my prayers are with these families. I thank God for our beloved President Obama. I am so proud, so proud and so sorry that he continuously has to speak at such horrible times. Amazing Grace, Amazing Grace
Demi Dee .. mine too... I just sat here and cried,, then I prayed for the 9 that subcummbed to this horrific altermate sacrifice
This man knows how to reach the heart of his audience. He seems so sincere when he addresses crowds. It is a true gift. He has inspired me to do a little more in my own small but nonetheless meaningful way. I am proud to call him my President. Our nation must be grateful. On a side note, he could have made a good minister, I believe. God bless.
+Ashley Montana Good post. Nicely put. President Obama is one of a kind!
+Ashley Montana I wish people would not make comments of a political nature at all.., this event was about remembering the victims of this horrible event and the familiers
Shieldsff I apologize if I offended you or anyone. Sorry. It truly wasn't my intent. I just highlighted the fact I thought it was nice Obama looked sincere and didn't seem to do this for the cameras or for political gain.
Of course, the event was all about the victims and their loved ones. And although I did not express it, I was deeply saddened and touched by this tragedy. If any of the victim's families are reading these lines, I want to extend my most sincere condolences. May God accompany you through your mourning. And I hope you can all have the strength for forgive the author of this despicable, senseless and unforgivable act.
My name is Geoffrey from Tanzania. Mr president Obama is wonderful ,great man have never seen they way he touch peoples hearts. May God bless you

You are a strong man
Very good language my brother.
OUR LAST GREAT LEADER
I watched this after Gilroy, El Paso and Dayton. This is what we need to console us.
I love Obama and his family
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.
Thank you. You got it right

Obama is the BEST President I've seen in my half century of life!
As an American I'm proud to have voted for him twice and proud of his accomplishments. 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.
Everyone in America need to listen to this!! Thank you President Obama on an amazing eulogy.
Agreed.

Outstanding grammar. You’re the pinnacle of greatness. Uhhum yup. Now I’m smarter. You’re a moron.

Watching this after El Paso and Dayton. This is what I wish we had in a President.
That's why I'm here! I needed a president that offered words of comfort and unity, that speaks to all Americans. It feels like these past few months have been more cruel than what Trump's norm was before. It breaks my heart.
Same here!
Have you noticed that even now during times like this and other major remembrances and holidays, Obama still sends words of faith and wisdom to the nation on Social Media? Obama even though no longer in office STILL has to be the reasonable voice of the Nation because #45 is incapable of doing that.
Still my president
he will always be my president
Well you must not be a United States citizen because he is no longer king teleprompter.
@@tammywines9771 No. A president who can only speak in coherent sentences with a teleprompter is.

Who's still watching this in 2019

Thanks president Obama for these historical and so accurate words and for everything you could bring to people's ears and eyes through your work.
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
Shout out to the organ player, who jumped in at the end providing exactly what was needed when Obama named the names.

And that we have achieved anything in spite of the vile, ruthless and underhanded attempts to sabotage his administration is a testament to him.

Rev "Senator" Pinkney was served well by our President. GREAT SPEECH, SIR!! You and Rev Pinkney are Good Men!! I'm So Proud of You and All You represent! WELL DONE! This was a wonderful week of VICTORIES!!
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.
I am so lucky to have lived in Obama's time.What an extra ordinary leader. Thank you Lord.
Can't we vote for a third term? I'm so proud of my president and his wonderful family. I will miss them so much.
Amazing grace, Amazing man. May our reservoir of kindness drown our unkindness. May we all live as one with love and happiness our reason for being. May the gift of today inspire us all to live and let live everyday. May love bless us all x
Keith Kline Amen!
Jennifer Jones Amen Amen look deep for that reservoir of kindness. That will be the foundation to strive and make it lasting. Good humans must become the majority not minority.

That's one bad ass brother right there.... through political opposition at every turn... Accepting blame as he says "The buck stops with me".... His wife and daughters have to be proud ... more than proud.... His eulogy included all the victims.... His eulogy included all of South Carolina and America.... What more can the American people want in their president? Grace to all the victims and blessings to the shooter. I fail the families of the victims as I know I could never forgive this act of hate. This helps me realize I need to re-evaluate the faith I grew up with as I have veered away due to being exposed to the evil men do.... I see the good folk of the victims are what I hope to one day be....

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

When we d followers stop the politics of hatred.then a true and patriotic leader will emerg.because a leader was once a follower
This has always been my favorite hymn. And now it means even more
Larry Benjamin Same here! He's our president - all of us.
Damn good Leader, re-ignite his talent when ever he get's the chance...
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.
nicely said. God Bless You and all people who know Rev. Pinckney.
What did Obama do for the black people that was so "amazing"?? And BE SPECIFIC.
Sorry for your friends death. Amen to his example.
Sorry Pickney wasnt
Elected to the presidency
@@tiffsaver Well, did Obama allow H1N1 or any disease or thing, to Kill Over 160,000 People and did not give a....? Were there ever at least 40M working people laid off and then he called them Lazy? 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? Have Empathy? Did he ever embarrass the American People to the point our dignity and respect No longer exist overseas? Allow Puttin to treat him like a ......? The list goes on; we don't have enough time. But you probably Worship #45!!
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.
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.
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
Don't mind me, I just watched Barry at the Lewis funeral and needed more.
Kyle Crawford you and I are the same 🥰
This was an amazing eulogy. No matter what anyone says, President Barack Obama is awesome! NO president has ever connected WITH people. Donald Trump wouldn't be HALF the president Mr. Obama is. 😑😑 the shade has been thrown
Thank you President Obama.
The greatest speech President Obama ever gave,today is 4-29-19 and I still cry when I view this service.
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.
I needed to hear Obama singing Amazing Grace today.
As a British black man in his 50s. I looked up to Obama. he gave me hope.
He was a special President.
After 4 years of confusion. I am listening to #44 greatest speech. This is what leadership looks like.
Great man, great church, I'm proud to be AME all the way from Cape Town South Africa!
I love what Questlove said: He just went to E flat like he was collaborating with Stevie Wonder and Jam and Lewis. May God bless this man and the United States of America.
Sydney, Australia.
This was the most compelling I've seen Obama in a whole. I'm proud of all he's done.
***** Lord help us all if you are proud of him with all maliciousness has undermined this country in which he hates with every ounce of his existence. If he had his absolute way there would be nary a Christian American alive in these United States Of America! If you are in either of these 2 categories, yes yes; you would be amongst the company of these 9 folk in South Carolina! DEAD!!!
Brian Thompson Your words make me think you are a very unhappy and hateful person!!! I've seen and known your type throughout my lifetime but I choose not to associate with people like you because you're so hateful, repulsive and uninformed and I would not have anything in common with you. It's hateful people like you that caused this situation of terrorism that took place in this black southern church!!! You're pathetic!!!
LMK LMK No I'm not a bit unhappy. I can see these staged events for what thy are. A means to an end. That end being USA being no more. Come to think about it your boy just sold me,you, your kids and grand kids down the road when he got that TPP passed. When the worst times u have ever had come down on you just think of this little chat here. It seems u r the one uninformed! You officially have no rights. Your house can b taken, land too, anything they want and you can be made work with no compensation. I bet you wil love that. When Its too late, well i already is, lay down and go back to sleep because there is just no way you can handle the shock and feeling of betrayal your boy orchestrated.OH, no he couldn't have done this you will scream!! Oh, who did it? Barrack couldn't possibly have done this. Maybe finally after you see what is headed our way n his watch you will realize what has happened to this country by none other Barrack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetoro born in Hawaii, Kenya!
*****
What is one good thing hes done for the USA?
Greg Ori Uh Uh Uh Uh UH UH UH , I can't think of anything!
After much therapy and of coming out a very dark place; At the time, this shooting took place in the AME church I was on my knees spiritually and the Lord guided stay away from the news. I have now watched this sobering speech today. I am thankful that I can apply the advice. Thanks the Lord!
Who's still watching this in 2020
I am and many more.
I AM 🙋🏽♀️
I am watching it over and over again because we need a leader. Now it's 2020 He is our leader for the United States of America 🇺🇸
I voted for President Obama for his two terms in office and if he would run again I would vote for him again. He is one of the President that made America great again. Not Trump, he is so stupid.
