Obama uses Jackson eulogy to slam Trump's America By Emily Goodin

President Barack Obama used his eulogy for the late Rev. Jesse Jackson to rail at President Trump’s administration, decrying the state of country under his leadership.

“Each day we wake up to some new assault on our Democratic institutions, another setback to the idea of the rule of law, an offense to common decency. Every day you wake up to, to things you just didn't think were possible,” he said.

Obama didn’t say Trump’s name but his meaning was clear. And the crowd at the Chicago’s House of Hope stood in applause, cheering as he spoke.

“Each day, we're told by those in high office to fear each other and to turn on each other, and that some Americans count more than others, and that some don't even count at all,” Obama said. “Everywhere we see greed and bigotry, being celebrated and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.”

“It's hard to hope in those moments,” Obama said, adding it was tempting to “maybe just put your head down and wait for the storm to pass.”

Jackson wouldn’t have wanted that, he noted.

“But this man, Reverend Jesse Lewis Jackson, inspires us to take a harder path. His voice calls on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope.”

"Was Tawana Brawley a keynote speaker?"

Did Jesse's illegitimate daughter and her mother attend the service?

Back when Jesse was Bill Clinton's spiritual advisor at the White House after the Lewinsky affair became public knowledge, Jesse had his then mistress Karin Stanford with him, and she was pregnant with their daughter at the time.

"It was awful."

I remember watching it live on TV, and couldn't believe what was going on. I'm sure there's a thread about it at the time somewhere on FR.

I look forward to the day when we no longer have to hear the vile rambling of Obama. This man is pure evil and is the only former President to still pound the pulpit after his Presidency.

Obama and Jesse Jackson were birds of a feather. The only real difference was Obama’s prep school education and style. It better positioned him to make patsies and stooges of populations outside their common base of Chicago anti-Semitic race grifters.

Dee late rev ruhnd jack-son was instrumental in the nation’s riots post-MLK’s death.

In fact, somewhere in the internet not bucket, I am quite sure that a certain cover of Life magazine is in repose, waiting to be found. On it, was Jackson leading his followers in an enraged charge, he holding a lot Molotov Cocktail.

He was a coattail rider of MLK’s works, always JV.

These days I read these kinds of speeches and understand exactly what Obama means. I used to think these were white screens on which people projected their hopes and dreams, No more

Obama is the devil’s spawn. It’s a spiritual war. One nation under God is to be destroyed. That’s why God chose Trump. Trump has the qualities necessary to stand up to the Destroyer, he loves the USA, doesn’t scare easily and he’s brought God and common sense back into our country.

“Send him to Iran to his Muslim brothers”
Yup, he and ValJar have always been on the mullah’s side:
“On 5 December 2011, an American Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel unmanned aerial vehicle was captured by Iranian forces near the city of Kashmar in northeastern Iran. The Iranian government announced that the UAV was brought down by its cyberwarfare unit which commandeered the aircraft and safely landed it…..The United States government initially denied the claims but later President Obama acknowledged that the downed aircraft was a US drone“

Jesse wanted to transition Osama Obama. Osama Obama was more into Al Sharpton.
