  • I think the reason why he showed up is first because he wanted to pay his respects to her and secondly because I think he is much bigger than to turn his back on the woman regardless of the fact that she didnt originally support him they are both on the same team,. I think he went above and beyond because that's who he is. I didnt care for who she picked in the primary's either but the bigger picture now is for him to try and honor his colleague with a win.

  • This man is simply a human being first before anything else.

    He is genuine.

    America, its time for us to be humane first again.

    May stephanie rest in peace

  • Anybody remember when all those people who died or mysteriously murdered when Pimp Bill Clinton was in office? I wonder if Mrs. Tubbs-Jones was "knocked off" by the handlers of the Obama campaign. Just so weird how when she speaks up about Obama, she mysteriously dies. I'm just saying...

  • I know this because in Obama's OWN SPEECH at the memorial he said Stephanie had told him, "this is what it means to be her friend", when she spoke of why she supported Hillary. Obviously, its easy to conclude Hillary was her friend which was why she fiercly supported her while Obama was not which is she worked to make sure Hillary would be elected over him. Get it?

  • First of all, how do you know that she wasn't friends with Obama and the Clintons?

    Secondly, dozens of politicians spoke at her memorial. I'm sure if he hadn't been invited to speak, he wouldn't have.

  • My point is they weren't really good friends and it just politicized her memorial with people even chanting his name. I have nothing against Obama but I think he should not have spoken at a memorial of a woman he wasn't very close with to begin with.

  • I couldn't agree with you more. This is not about politics or media spin. He was there to pay his respects as a human being and a friend. I saw the whole service and he was sitting right beside the Clintons.

    Too bad some people take politics and media spin so seriously they forget the human element.

  • Why is he speaking at her memorial? They were barely even friends. It was Hillary and Bill Clinton that were friends with Rep. Tubbs Jones, not Obama.

  • Agreed!
