Obama: Lewis was 'a man of pure joy and unbreakable perseverance' despite tests to his faith

Speaking at Rep. John Lewis’ Atlanta funeral, niece Sheila Lewis O’Brien described the man she knew as “uncle Robert.”

"While we knew how important he and his work was to the world, when we were with him, we saw uncle Robert," O’Brien said "We saw the man that enjoyed spending time with his family, ribbing us about days gone by, catching up on family dynamics, enjoying a good meal, sharing laughter and love.” O’Brien called on attendees and the country to take on Lewis’ baton “that he has now laid down” and to endeavor to get into “good trouble.”

God knows the world needs more people like him

Sorry Obama, you’re not running again and you won’t help Joe win either. You two knuckle heads were what fed Americans up for 8 years and gifted us Trump. Best thing you ever did

Someone should have taking this Nat King Cole out years ago

No need for 'former', there has been no true US president since Obama left office.

Most corrupt president ever!!

President Obama... such an honorable & dignified man... and in times like these can make me cry with his 1st spoken word. 😥 Rest in power, John R Lewis.

A powerful speech! Barack Obama showed us what a leader was today. One that unites not divides and one that appeals to our higher ideals!

Eulogy? More like a campaign speech! So classless. I haven’t missed his voice at all!

Contrast Obama with trump How to person woman man camera then go throw up a bit

Great video of JoeBiden campaign rally.

To the DemocraticParty JohnLewisRIP was a tragedy but HermanCain is a victory. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

I miss a real president who speaks from his heart and who speaks so valid to us, as Americans and the world. We are not going to stop what we do, and we are not going to stop believing in each other. JohnLewis fought so hard, throughout his life and we must respect all he's done

Obama talking about Voter ID and Mail-in Voting at John Lewis’ Funeral. Shameless!!!. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Awesome and Awe inspiring

I can listen to Obama speak every time because his voice and manor displays leadership !!!!

I miss Barry’s clarity and respect for all of us.

Great speech as always sir salute BarackObama JohnLewis 🙏🏾

President Trump has been accused of stroking the flames of division but there has never been a president like Obama to divide this country.

offtopic : HERES A NICE SIDE-STORY

THIS IS WHAT A PRESIDENT IS!!!!!

A black President eulogizing a black Congressman on national television and likely to be retweeted by scores of black millionaires. Let's talk more about how oppressive this great country is again.

Oh look, a real president.

The Eloquence, Class, Dignity & Honor of BarackObama Who ELSE Misses Him SOOO Much! ✋✋✋

The Evil plotter that wants to burn America down. He looks horrible. No sleep for the wicked ObamaGate

I miss listening to US Presidents with empathy, humility and intelligence. Bush, Clinton and now Obama, have been very moving this morning.

This makes me so happy💙 I will not be watching.
