Obama Sings 'Amazing Grace' During Pinckney Eulogy | msnbc

I'll never forget hearing this live in a best buy store, you could hear a pin drop and everyone was in tears (mostly white folks in the store)
That was such a moving and human moment. A real leader transcends politics in times of need. I'm glad I lived through this presidency.

[m.flores]

No other president during my lifetime has ever moved me as much as President Obama. This is the kind of leadership America needs and deserves.

[michaelvarhola]

America needs another president who is real and who is human. He doesn't have to be perfect. He just needs to be real and to be human. I truly miss him.

I'm here in April 2020 during the quarantine pandemic and I found strength from a real, genuine leader. Thank you President Obama.

Obama: Ama-
Black people: sing it baby

[MidgeWilson]

Will we ever again see a President who embdies the very meaning and spirit of those two words, amazing grace? I fear not. Well done Mr. President, well done.

[paulrobertkil]

I had my disagreements with this president, but this was one of the finest examples of leadership I’ve ever witnessed. This should be an example for anyone who aspires to be a leader of how to console a nation when they’re in pain and how to bring light when we are at our darkest.

[BabsBrooklynPilates]

This was the greatest moment in Barack Obama's presidency. After such a terrible and senseless crime he reminded us of the grandeur of the human spirit that lives in us all when given the chance.

[bobbatons]

What a president!! And I 'm Greek. We all of us miss Obama, not just Americans.

[feralgecko]

Full body chills. Every. Single. Time.

[worshipmeorburnforever]

Dear USA. When you're done with Obama, can we please have him for a few years?
Kind regards EU

[Blakmajik]

Gave me chills seeing our President address his people ....

[demirulz]

Thanks Obama

1:21 I love how that one dude immediately gets what's up and rips off his sunglasses and gets to his feet

[zacharybear]

I remember stopping in my place when this happened. I was so moved to see our President singing a hymn, and it came out of his heart.

[anitasubramans]

This was your leader...a man, who sought to unify through intelligence and humility

[nyfinestG]

I don't care what your political views are or your personal opinions of President Barack Obama, but this is very heartwarming. In my 27 years of living on this earth have I ever seen the most powerful man in the world be so accessible, so HUMAN! God Bless him and the United States of America!

[talldarkdc]

One of the most powerful speeches EVER! God bless you Mr. President!

[yoongischubbycheeks]

I never thought i’d see a president that breaks into song.

[RaulieGonzo]

You can tell he was super nervous to do it, but I love him for it
