Yesterday, we had Trump and Putin standing together; now we are seeing the opposing team: Obama and Mandela."
This was Obama's first trip to Africa since leaving office in 2017. Earlier this week, he stopped in Kenya, where he visited the rural birthplace of his late father.
Obama's speech noted how Mandela, who was imprisoned for 27 years, kept up his campaign against what appeared to be insurmountable odds to end apartheid, South Africa's harsh system of white minority rule.
Mandela, who was released from prison in 1990 and became president four years later, died in 2013 at the age of 95. He left a powerful legacy of reconciliation and diversity along with a resistance to inequality - economic and otherwise.
Since leaving the White House, Obama has shied away from public comment on the Trump administration, which has reversed or attacked his notable achievements. The U.S. under Trump has withdrawn from the 2015 Paris climate agreement and the Iran nuclear deal while trying to undercut the Affordable Care Act or "Obamacare."
Obama's speech drew on his great admiration for Mandela, a fellow Nobel Peace Prize winner whom America's first black president saw as a mentor.
When Obama was a U.S. senator, he had his picture taken with Mandela. After Obama became president he sent a copy of the photo to Mandela, who kept it in his office. Obama also made a point of visiting Mandela's prison cell and gave a moving eulogy at Mandela's memorial service in 2013, saying the South African had inspired him.
Many South Africans view Obama as a successor to Mandela because of his groundbreaking role and his support for racial equality in the U.S. and around the world.
Stremlau, who attended the speech, called it "a tough, strong condemnation of Trump and all that he stands for."

Former president Barack Obama didn't mention President Donald J. Trump by name in a speech today but took aim at "strongman politics" in the high-profile address to honor the 100th anniversary of Nelson Mandela's birth. DETAILS: http://bit.ly/2zO34KT

Was Putin telling the truth that Russians didn't hack the DNC server? This seems to say he did. We all know who had a thumb drive with the info don't we! (SR) If this proves out true, lots of people going to have egg on their face. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=36&v=p3mS-3-W0ig
