Barack Obama speaks on the passing of Elijah Cummings
Insight News ^ | 10/17/2019

Posted on 10/17/2019 5:36:13 PM PDT by simpson96

Former President Barack Obama on the passing of iconic Maryland congressman, Rep. Elijah Cummings.

“Michelle (Obama) and I are heartbroken over the passing of our friend, Elijah Cummings. As chairman of the House Oversight Committee, he showed us all not only the importance of checks and balances within our democracy, but also the necessity of good people stewarding it,” said the former president. “Steely yet compassionate, principled yet open to new perspectives, Chairman Cummings remained steadfast in his pursuit of truth, justice, and reconciliation. It’s a tribute to his native Baltimore that one of its own brought such character, tact, and resolve into the halls of power every day. And true to the giants of progress he followed into public service, Chairman Cummings stood tallest and most resolute when our country needed him the most. May his example inspire more Americans to pick up the baton and carry it forward in a manner worthy of his service. Our deepest sympathies and abiding love go to his wife, Maya, his three children, and all those whose lives he touched.”

I could not STAND Elijah Cummings, one of the biggest hypocrites ever. I have nothing good to say about that man and don't care if he is deceased or not. No apologies. I knew a dark side of that man the media nor others reveal.

I would be more moved by snot dripping from a diseased pig than I would from anything Odungo forced through his lying traitorous lips. May they soon be united in Hell.

Actually, it looks like “Obama Tweets” about Cummings’ passing, or writes about it. I see it on Twitter but somehow I don’t see it in front of a camera. Couldn’t “The Won” get a camera on him to catch the “great” orator’s dulcet words?

May God have mercy on his eternal soul.

Cummings in his younger years was a Civil Rights hero in his own mind.

In his later years his assumption of absolute moral superiority to “ordinary” Americans led to the politics of division and hate.A race monger of the highest order, a colleague of racial shakedown artist Rev. Al Sharpton,both cut from the same liberal fascist mold.

Cummings was apoplectic about making America Great Again. His Utopia of a balkanized America attempted by Obama was slipping away. That Utopia was the very transformation of America into a racial / ethic mosaic where various areas of the nation would be ruled by racial and ethnic minorities who were to be finally victorious over the rest of America that allegedly exploited them. But wait, their utopian model did not include Jews and Asians! The Sanctuary City/Sanctuary State movement, the abandonment of US Sovereignty , and apology for US history were all part and parcel of Elijah Cummings later life, and his sordid legacy.

He has gone. And may his absence be filled with a politician from his community who understands that President Trump is the best thing that has happened to the Black Community since emancipation. The employment figures do not lie.

Obama is a has been, and so is his legacy and his Hope and Change foolery that nearly ruined America.

He was about as morally corrupt as you can get. He was full of hate toward innocent people. He did every thing he could to do harm.

I am glad he is dead.
