I'm watching the Dallas Ceremony ...

[1StrongBlackMan]

this is what America looks like on a good day.

"I'm not naïve ..." I'm loving my President.

[stonecutter357]

1. K&R!

[Tarheel_Dem]

2. I didn't think he would, but he's going there. I love this man. n/t

[1StrongBlackMan]

3. I thought, and hoped, he would ...

and he's not disappointing.

"Can we find the character, as Americans ..."

[Sissyk]

4. This is what we dream America

Could look like everyday. I'm loving our President, too.

Look at them. Look at this service. Democrats and Repubs together, agreeing on the same things. Unity! I'm not naive, either, Mr. President; but I'm feeling more hope, faith, and love.

Like PO said. We can't slide back. Keep moving forward. Learn from Dallas in all other police departments.

I'm giving free hugs to everyone I communicate with today, so here 1SBM.

And, yes. Black Lives Matter!

[1StrongBlackMan]

6. Okay. President Obama just finished speaking ...

Off to watch Bernie and HRC's Unity speeches.

[tallahasseedem]

11. It's a great day to be a Dem!

[OneGrassRoot]

5. So wonderful...

He's hitting all the points that need attention and, as always, doing so with such eloquence.

I'm going to miss him terribly.

[1StrongBlackMan]

7. Damn ... Is GWB drunk? He's dancing to The Battle Hymn of the Republic"!

[a kennedy]

12. I saw that as well and thought what the h*ll is he doing......

I'm sure Mrs. Obama felt like a fool having to be connected to him.

[3catwoman3]

17. She probably wanted to give him...

...a sharp elbow to the ribs. What a jackass!

[1StrongBlackMan]

26. I kind of chuckled after seeing it a second time ...

she didn't do the elbow thing; but, she did, ever so briefly, give him the Black mama in church "you better behave" eye.

[3catwoman3]

38. Which he is probably too dim...

...to have noticed.

[Sissyk]

14. Lol!

He looked even more stupid than normal, then. I was going to give him a tad bit of leeway today, but he blew it with that dance. Poor Michelle!

[Hekate]

18. Drunk, medicated, or demented. Take your pick. This is NOT a good look.

Appalling.

[Boomerproud]

27. I just had to watch 5 minutes of "The Five" on Fox and they said how "moving" W's speech was

and I couldn't take anymore. I do not want to know what they said about Obama's speech.

[George II]

39. I think it was the trifecta.

[Hekate]

41. Both the women holding his hands looked equal parts mortified and dignified, if you know what I mean

But only Laura has to live with the jerk.

[Surya Gayatri]

22. That's what I thought, first as he slurred his way through that excuse of a speech

and now, DANCING to the Battle Hymn of the Republic.



What an embarrassment he is to the whole country. No wonder the Repubs won't let him anywhere near their events now.

[mountain grammy]

35. Between Laura and Michelle, I thought they were going to smack him..

He looked like a fool, but then...

[3catwoman3]

40. As we all know, he doesn't...

...just look like a fool.

It was apparent that his "speechifying" skills have not improved since he left office.

[Raster]

43. There was good reason that either Condi, Karen and Laura were always...

...within smackin' distance of W* while he resided at 1600 Pennsylvania. Sadly, those duties now fall to whomever Laura and the handlers can position on either side.

And to think we elected him* POTUS... oh, wait, we did no such thing.

[tblue37]

30. Looks like it--dancing, mugging, seems to be grinning and chuckling. nt

[calimary]

34. You mean like with his mention of "brothers and shishtersh"?

DAYUM can he say ANYTHING that has the letter "s" in it that he doesn't slur? Is he THAT pickled? Just hearing him blight my eardrums with that droning sloshing delivery again reminded me of how miserable that eight-year plague was, to have to live through. I do NOT miss him, AT ALL. He's probably killed one-too-many brain cells by now. What else does he have to do with his time now? Besides paint pathetic paintings of his feet in the bathtub, and crawl into a collection of liquor bottles? What a disgrace.

[DuckBurp]

42. Cut him some slack.

How would you like to give a speech on the same stage as someone as articulate and moving as President Obama, and you with only half a brain?

[trueblue2007]

8. how innappropriate. GWBush "rocking out" to The Battle Hymn of the Republic

Smiling, swinging his hands. It is not a hoot en nanny, it is time honoring dead policemen

[tallahasseedem]

9. An amazing speech...

I feel for our Commander that he has had to give so many. He is unmatched in class and dignity.

[sheshe2]

10. I will have to catch it later.

I know he did the right thing, yup, I do love this President!

[rbrnmw]

13. it brought tears to my eyes

as I was amening it all the way!! This President is the best

[mcar]

15. An amazing speech

[Rex]

16. Best President in my lifetime!

The most underrated POTUS ever, people will look back with shame at how Obama was treated. He turned out to be the best thing we've had happen to us in forever!

[Surya Gayatri]

19. I'm once again in teary-eyed awe before his wise eloquence.

We will miss him sorely. A leader of his stature only appears at best once in a generation.

[Lady_Chat]

21. +1000

I could not have said it better, you expressed exactly how I feel. Thank you!

[Surya Gayatri]

24. I have never felt such love and admiration for a public official. I adore him.

And, welcome to DU!

[Hekate]

20. Have to catch it later -- I didn't think I could take one more funeral, but POTUS always delivers

Hubby came home for lunch, was listening to NPR in the car with tears in his eyes. We both love Obama more than we can say.

So we turned on CNN just in time to see Idiot Son on display -- something is visibly wrong with Dubya.

[George II]

32. Yes, he acted like he was at a baseball game, not a memorial service. Idiot then, idiot now.

[63splitwindow]

23. IF ONLY Our President had been shown a modicum of appropriate respect...

the past 8 years, I truly believe that we would not be where we are today. His haters have damaged America greatly but the bigots always have.

[IronLionZion]

25. Video

LIVE President Obama Deliver Remarks at Interfaith Memorial Service For Dallas Police Officers

[King_Klonopin]

28. Amen! He is a good man. nt

[bluestateguy]

29. I was afraid the cops would turn their backs on Obama like they did on De Blasio in NYC

They didn't.

[George II]

31. "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", especially the way they did it this afternoon.....

....gets me every time.

[calimary]

36. That soloist got me, first.

Made me get all teary-eyed.

[Moonwalk]

33. Obama's Speech:

Each speech is better, more inspirational than the last. I am sorry that so many of them are at memorials...but each time it become clearer and clearer that he's transforming from our President into our "Minister." I'm not for an official religious leader of our country, as in England where there's an Archbishop, but if we had such, Obama would be in line for the job.

He has been (still is for the moment) our commander in chief, but he is becoming (or now is) our natiional soul and conscience. Unlike so many politicians past and present, he alone reminds us of the best we can be.

Whatever else about these times we live in, we are incredibly fortunate to have lived now, and had this man as our president. Future generations will envy us.

[mountain grammy]

37. He is amazing.

the most caring, honest and decent man since Jimmy Carter to occupy the WH.

[bigwillq]

44. I saw only clips, but what I saw was fantastic

Good job, Mr. President.
