It helped to inspire in a time of national mourning. President Obama's eulogy seemed a perfect and uplifting message to the country as well as for Clementa Pinckeny's family and the bereaved at Mother Emanuel.

He said and did more to help the cause of ending racism and resentment of the poor
yesterday than I think anyone thought imaginable.

I think it's because he "took us all to church".
