    Obama tweeted Saturday night: “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion…” The quote comes from Nelson Mandela’s autobiography “Long Walk to Freedom.” Obama posted the tweet alongside a picture of himself smiling at a group of children of different races.

    By Tuesday morning, the tweet had more than 2.4 million likes, making it the second most-liked tweet of all time. Ariana Grande’s tweet following a deadly bombing at her concert in England holds the top spot with 2.7 million likes.

    The article says of Obama’s tweet that “By Tuesday morning, the tweet had more than 2.4 million likes, making it the second most-liked tweet of all time”.

    If Trump ever reads or hears about that, we’ll be due for another ‘inauguration crowd’ moment!

    Articles like this are exactly why people think VIN is left leaning. You’ll never see a right wing politician idolized like this.

    Yes, glorify this man that has brought racism and hate to the forefront, has always taken a racist side in every story (this could’ve been me or my son…) during his “reign” the country really divided, and when enough damage is he sits quietly and stirs the hate and divisive pot of the media. He will never stop until he sees the core values of this country fall apart. Go ahead glorify him! When your left scrambling for a safe haven see if he’ll spit you in the face and laugh from his home in Dubai.

    Hey #13 ,

    1) Wright would not have liberated your parents and he would not have fought for the USA army. Rev Wright hates America.
    2) Yes I’d much rather neo nazis nowadays than Muslim anti american preacher’s. Most neo nazis make noise and do very little. This is not the 1940’s times changed. Unfortunately Muslims have and continue to cause lots of harm around the globe. That does not mean I want either hanging around. I’d rather neither group. But if I was forced to pick…

    All that being said neither Obama is a muslim and neither is Trump a nazis

    So many people here dislike black people. None of you are fooling anyone. You don’t criticize any specific policy of Obama, but just shrilly lash out in highly emotional general attacks. When pressed to mention a specific policy of Obama that you dislike, your reaction is even more obvious, because your emotional level is so disproportionate to what you choose to discuss.

    It is now official. Obama has broken the world record for re-tweets, topping 2.7 million.
