Sad to see one of the good ones go

I guess the longer one lives, the more one has to come to terms with death. I'm seeing many good people & heroes pass...

Yay. "First black president". Let's all reduce his life's work to that.

Racists.

Could you not give it a rest at least in a RIP thread? Please don't derail this one!

He achieved more sitting on his arse in prison than almost anyone else did whilst being free. That's pretty impressive. And I do mean that with respect.

RIP

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory, when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

Where does the tree with this kind of politician grow? It must be an endangered species!

Just be glad I didn't go another way with that whole "lead from behind" thing. The potential for photoshopping here is huuuuuge

Please stop! This is not the thread for it!
