Obama: Cummings showed us 'the importance of checks and balances'
© Greg Nash

Former President Barack Obama said Thursday morning that he and his wife Michelle Obama are "heartbroken" over the death of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.).

In a statement shortly after news of the congressman's death broke, the former president said that Cummings's tenure as chairman of the House Oversight Committee showed the importance of "good people" overseeing the nation's system of checks and balances.

"Michelle and I are heartbroken over the passing of our friend, Elijah Cummings," the former president wrote. "As Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, he showed us all not only the importance of checks and balances within our democracy, but also the necessity of good people stewarding it."

And Obama showed us all the importance of being president while your friend is running for your job.

Well, Johnson & Johnson won't have to worry about getting shaken down by Cummings now.

Well, now, see, while I don't see the need of trashing the recently deceased, there's no need lie about them either.

Is that right?

quote:

“My warmest condolences to the family and many friends of Congressman Elijah Cummings. I got to see first hand the strength, passion and wisdom of this highly respected political leader. His work and voice on so many fronts will be very hard, if not impossible, to replace!”


Even this crook’s praiseworthy comments is better than Obama’s

Yes. Elijah got a lot of checks (but I'm sure he preferred unmarked bills in manila envelopes), and I'm sure he had a nice bank balance. Thanks for reminding us you corrupt Chicago gangster POS.

I'm sure his wife will be appointed to serve out the remainder of his term, so the Cummings Crime Family will still be well represented in Congress.

That would be the checks written to his wife's non-profit organization and the balances in the account of her non-profit organization after the checks went through.

Could his death mean that the IT report might have some teeth?
