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.”

Trump will of course respond, (Obama exploits Jackson’s remains) and I hope, when he concludes, he just tells Obama to go to hell.
Yes.

Michelle: “Shut up, fool. I knew you were smoking too many blunts on the trip.”
We have to be thankful this is the post racial America which is the legacy from Obama’s two terms. Otherwise the trash talk and bitter slashing at Trump would have been worse.
