President Obama joined lawmakers and former heads of state Thursday in mourning the death of Nelson Mandela, calling him one of the "most influential, courageous and profoundly good" people to have ever lived.

"He achieved more than could be expected of any man," an emotional Obama said, in remarks from the White House, adding: "He belongs to the ages.

Did his actions unite SA or doom it to the status of the majority of crap countries in Africa?

Was it united before Mandala became president?

[Delta Dawn]

‘Who axed you?’

Oh my, that’s a cutting remark.

[mikrofon]

Mere moments after the “Breaking” announcement, the local pre-6PM newscast cut over to the White Hut for Dear Reader’s words of comfort ... He was so anxious to give homage that he read directly from paper copy, before TOTUS even got a chance ...

[muglywump]

The thing is, most of today’s yutes would not have learned this in history class.

[tapatio]

I cannot understand, the wall to wall coverage on Mandela.

[Toespi]

“An emotional Obama”. Are we seeing another opportunity of crisis to get a little bump?

[haircutter]

all Mandela...that is all we will hear for weeks...will obama use this death to quiet down his Healthcare debacle?

just turned FOX NEWS off for the evening..had enough of it..

WAKE UP VOTERS...TURN THE SENATE IN 2014..just maybe someone will have the courage to clean up this mess in the White House.

[Cementjungle]

I agree.

[depressed in 06]

I choose to rejoice in the loss of another Marxist racist.

[haircutter]

no telly promoter...he was using notes...writers didn't have time to get their act together..

just more lies from the won...turned him off..

[uncitizen]

“He belongs to the ages”??? Ugh gag me with a spoon. That’s right up there with giving the queen an iPod with his greatest speeches on it. This prez is an embarrassment every single day.

[x]

Last of a generation?

A little like Thatcher in that way.

How many foreign leaders today make any impression at all on Americans?

[La Lydia]

At Lincoln's death Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton uttered what became a memorable quote "Now he belongs to the ages."

So to Obama's other qualities, we can now add "plagiarist." I am sure that which ever staff member wrote this for him assumed no one would notice, least of all BO.

[BatGuano]

“He belongs to the ages”? Another act of plagiarism by the liar-in-chief. He cannot come up with something original?
Not sad about the news from Africa, there are many more things of importance on my mind. I will not watch any of the coverage of the state funeral, Mandela was the least important commie to die today.

[Scrambler Bob]

How does ‘the ages’ in Ebonics translate into English?

[Scrambler Bob]

Maybe he had things speeded up to fit his schedule, and provide needed distraction.

[Rome2000]

Are you cereal?

This is from the WH?

[cripplecreek]

Yeah, they’re already slapping him around over his “selfies” on twitchy.

"Let us pause and give thanks for the fact that..."

...the Obamas are behind bars.

It's like Pharaoh prophesying his own fate with this cheesy narcissistic propaganda photo taken... *in a cell*.
