RIP Elijah.

[Wounded Bear]

2. The kind of classy, erudite statement we expect from Pres Obama...

[mshasta]

3. President Barack Obama

[erronis]

36. A real president and a real human.

Not the falsely installed peeresident that sullies the WH.

[Iliyah]

4. The class that is . . .

President Obama.

[FM123]

5. OK, I'm crying again...

[H2O Man]

6. Recommended.

[Botany]

7. No need to correct the grammar or the content of the writing.

Class 100%.

[Gothmog]

8. I miss having a real POTUS

[Botany]

9. I don't want a President I can have a beer with but a POTUS who:

Graduated from Columbia (#14 in the world), Graduated Harvard Law towards the top of his class (#2 in the world),
& Professor of Constitutional Law University of Chicago (#8 in the world)

[VWolf]

13. Here's the kicker:

I'd STILL much rather have a beer with him than with the orange menace!

[NBachers]

25. I'd settle for a large milkshake.

[GeoWilliam750]

34. I'd settle for a small milkshake

Or even a thimbleful of tap water.

[reACTIONary]

15. +1000 !

[SterlingPound]

20. 100%

[calimary]

26. Even if I were a beer drinker, that's not the kind of

thing I look for in a President. The president isn’t there to drink beer. I don’t vote to send a presidential candidate to the White House to have a beer.

[gratuitous]

11. You know he wrote that himself

As opposed to the tweet that went out on Needy Amin's twitter account.

[Coventina]

10. Thank you, Mr. President.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. a bigger view ...

[IcyPeas]

President Obama written like a true President who has compassion and humbleness.

[calimary]

[LAS14]

17. Now there's a role model for our children. Two! Cummings and Obama. nt

[marieo1]

18. Justice for all

President Barack Obama speaks for all of us. We lost a great man and a great fighter for justice for all of us, spoken by a great man and great fighter for justice for all.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

19. @RealDonaldTrump

Who names their kid ELIJAH? No wonder he doesn't have a dozen big, beautiful buildings named after himself, like Your Favorite President. He was a great man, a good man, even though I don't remember meeting him. #MAGA! #NOIMPEACHMENT

Michelle and I are heartbroken over the passing of our friend, Elijah Cummings. May his example inspire more Americans to pick up the baton and carry it forward in a manner worthy of his service.

22. Kick

[orleans]

23. i just googled

to see what's on the trump twitter...

obviously he did NOT write it himself.
(clues: he is not a warm person, therefore he has no "warmest condolences" & he would never give anyone else credit for having the wisdom he recently claimed to possess.)

"My warmest condolences to the family and many friends of Congressman Elijah Cummings. I got to see first hand the strength, passion and wisdom of this highly respected political leader. His work and voice on so many fronts will be very hard, if not impossible, to replace!

[bdamomma]

29. Stephen Miller

hard at work again, of course did not mean a word of it.

hmm........

give me a break, tRump wouldn't write something like that. He doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself.

[orleans]

32. i can't even imagine miller could write that n/t

[Willie Wunderlich]

24. Reading This Brought a Tear to My Eye

Reading this brought a tear to my eye...

1) The loss of Elijah Cummings.

2) I really miss having the Obamas in the White House.

[NBachers]

28. My sense of loss and grief is deeper than I can even describe.

[gademocrat7]

30. Thank you, President Obama

For your heartfelt tribute to Rep Cummings.

[Duppers]

31. Statues and Memorials will be built to to Elijah Cummings

And he will forever be remembered as a great man.

And like DonnaLynn #GlovesOff, I read this in (our) Pres. Obama's voice. Bet other did too.

[Cha]

33. Beautiful tribute to Elijah Cummings from
