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.”

Kamala Harris, Barack Obama use Jesse Jackson funeral to unload on Trump
Barack Hussein can’t hold a candle to the late Jesse Jackson, king of the race-hustling poverty pimps.

“Every day you wake up to, to things you just didn’t think were possible”
That was me during the Obama reign of terror. Projection is a severe mental defect.
Thing is...he isn't lying. That's the word games these demons play. Their Democratic institutions are under assault. Hopefully to soon be demolished along with the rest of their evil socialist agendas.
Notice the capital D on democratic as well. Word games.
He’s Dead?
Didn’t know he was Sick !
I’ll send flowers to Big Mike.
Uh...isn’t he the one who said “elections have consequences”? Old Kharma’s a witch!
Them dems have a bad habit of taking over memorials for their own purposes.
Obama destroyed the Dem party..look at what the Dem party USED to be before he came along and look at them now..so when he talked about the “Fundamental transformation of America” he didnt mean America, he meant his party
Was Tawana Brawley a keynote speaker?
That’s a weird eulogy!!!!!
If captured Iranian documents surface showing Barry was colluding with the Islamic Republic, does that make him eligible to stand trial for treason? Asking for a friend.
I’m surprised George W. Bush didn’t finagle an invite to Jesse’s memorial, so he could tag along and sit bunched up with Michelle, his bosom buddy.
Back in 2002, the RATS turned Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone’s memorial service into a campaign rally. He’d been killed in a plane crash with his wife, daughter and five others, just 11 days before Election Day. RATS replaced Wellstone with Walter Mondale on the ballot. The audience was actively booing and taunting Republicans that had attended the service. Then Governor Jesse Ventura who actually had balls at the time, walked out of the service disgusted over the behavior of the crowd.
The funerally.
It was awful.
