    Obama will deliver the eulogy at the funeral services of Rev. Clementa Pinckney, the pastor of the Emanuel AME church where the shooting that killed nine people occurred.

    Obama and first lady Michelle got to know the slain pastor, who also was state senator, during the 2008 presidential campaign.

    Pinckney was an early Obama supporter.

    Last week, Obama said the shootings show the need for a national reckoning on gun violence.

    Should the president who is a champion of sanctioning immoral lifestyles be the one to deliver a eulogy for people who were murdered while studying the bible?

    “Should the president who is a champion of sanctioning immoral lifestyles”

    Should a feral racist such as you be allowed to publicly pretend that he is against ‘immoral lifestyles?’
