Former President Barack Obama used his eulogy at the funeral of Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) to call for an end to the Senate filibuster to pass Democrats’ new legislation on voting reform.Obama said that Republicans had imitated Jim Crow-era restrictions on voting rights, which Lewis marched against, by passing state voter ID laws and other measures that conservatives argue prevent voter fraud.He urged Congress to pass a new version of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.“You want to honor John? Let’s honor him by revitalizing the law that he was willing to die for,” Obama said, to applause.

No, we don't want to honor John, especially when it makes it easier for democraps to stuff the ballot box...and remember obamazero, YOUR party was the anti Black/vote party way back before you got all the blacks onto your plantation by giving them a lot of freebies...

If you feel the self-righteous urge to preach to the mourners when you eulogize, you seek to honor yourself, not the corpse.

How boring to see the old presidential relics at another funeral telling us what to do, after their failed presidencies.

They are doing a Wellstone Lite funeral service for John Lewis. Instead of memorializing Lewis, they are politicizing.

Obarry is the President that initiated an attempt to circumvent democracy in order to prevent a certain candidate from becoming President and now he is going to preach voting rights. He is clearly a psychopath.

Shut up Obozo, we had more than enough of your opinion for 8 years. Elections have consequences and we don't need to hear from you again. You belong in Gitmo for treason.

Well who didn’t know this was going to happen!!?? ATL media has breathlessly been reporting every move John Lewis’ casket has made since he died 13 days ago. Enough, already. Herman Cain was also an Atlantan. I wonder how much media attention his funeral will generate.

No thank you, and once again you made somebody's funeral all about you and your agenda Stinky. When are you ever going to learn you are the kiss of death for your party. They cause enough grief for themselves without you helping them over the cliff Stinky.

Notice he didn't seem to care about honoring John Lewis when he was alive, and when Obama was president, when he had the House and Senate to do things?
Guess, this is more of "leading from behind".

He filibustered at the funeral against the filibuster.
Even the corpse was yawning.

Democrats have long loved or hated the filibuster depending on the outcome of the congressional election. If the Republicans hold the Senate, they will revere the filibuster as the last bulwark against tyranny by the majority.

They’ve dragged this old fool’s corpse across three states the last week or so, to one dumbassed memorial after another. Bury him, already - and shut up!

Yet, it was Senator Robert C Byrd (D-KKK) who filibustered against the 1964 Civil Rights Bill.

Jeeezis how many more weeks will this John Lewis funeral go on? Im sick of it already. Obama forgot to mention the Democrat Party formed the KKK as the enforcement squad for their party's standards. They are the ones that killed freed black slaves on the way to vote because they freed slaves voted Republican. They are the party that formed the Confederate Army and designed the Confederate Flag and fought the Civil War to maintain and keep slavery a legal business and practice in the United States. Seems Obozo has forgotten his US history.

Makes no sense, Lewis was only in the House for 50 years or so were there is no filibuster.
Now it would make sense to use Lewis as an example to push for term limits.

Barack Obama showed that he is a real lowlife by using what was supposed to be a funeral eulogy as a very partisan political speech. You can see why President Trump stayed away.

If obama delivers your eulogy, you're probably in a pretty hot, tormenting place.

While we're at it, remove the stupid 60 vote requirement to move legislation, that is a farce and everyone knows it!
