President Obama joined lawmakers and former heads of state Thursday in mourning the death of Nelson Mandela, calling him one of the "most influential, courageous and profoundly good" people to have ever lived.
"He achieved more than could be expected of any man," an emotional Obama said, in remarks from the White House, adding: "He belongs to the ages.

“I sense a disturbance in the Force.”
Listening now to Mark Levin interviewing a gentleman who came from South Africa right now.
It is what was said about Abraham Lincoln when he died.
And Paul Walker.
Couldn't Obama be more original? Look for Obama to make this about him. He will milk this for all it is worth to regain his popularity and to distract from Obamacare.
Where is the Barf Alert?
I wonder which street in the Sulphur Springs or College Hill sections of Tampa will be renamed Nelson Mandela Blvd? At least those unfamiliar with the area will know which ‘hoods to avoid.
Let me finish the sentence with what OBastard actually said: “He belongs to the ages, FORE!”
I did post number 1 with no words mean “no comment”.
Mandela was a scumbag. The world is a better place without him.
He belongs to the ages.
Yeah...right. Along with che, mao, stalin, marx...
Watch out folks. If you point out that he was a communist terrorist you will be called a racist.
I am talking about Mandela. I don’t think Obama is a terrorist.
Try telling that to Mr. Obama! SARC!
Even if Castro is not dead, we still have three weeks left.
The ironic thing is that there will be a movie about Mr. Mandella.
Amen to that. Rot in hell, racist commie dirtbag.
I find it adding further irony that President Obama is even now, after ditching the 150th anniversary of his 'hero', Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, he is now echoing Lincoln's Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton. When Lincoln breathed his last after that night of pain in dying, he said; "Now he belongs to the ages!" Gee, what a great inspiration but I guess Obama must take what he can get!
As for the comments from my fellow FReepers, I must FIRMLY disagree! He endured extreme tribulation in prison yet when he was released and then became South African President, he worked hard for reconcilliation that could have gone far worse (Rhodesia->Zimbabwe)! Retiring after a single term is a guide, you have to hope will sometime sink into the culture of Strong-man Africa! Yes, many of his ANC successors are far lesser men but that is also true of G.Washington!
Great! Now Barry can take a vacation to S. Africa and then follow it up with his month of Christmas vacation in Hawaii. And Barry and Wookie can take separate AF-1’s to both of them.
Damn right he will, along wiith his multimillion dollar White Hut hiphop entourage....He’ll leave Slow Jow with the launch codes.
