Obama rose to the occasion. But I can't help feeling this was a shambles - not the dignified tribute Mandela deserved
The Daily Mail by David Jones December 10-11, 2013
These are not the words I came here to write, and doubtless I shall be castigated in some quarters for writing them.
Painful as it is to report, it’s my view that yesterday’s memorial ceremony for Nelson Mandela not only failed to reflect the towering achievements of the man – at times, it was a shambolic disgrace to his name.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013

I'm pleased that his memorial was poorly executed and badly attended. It symbolizes that history cannot be rewritten and his legacy will not be papered over with lies that can withstand the test of time.
