On the 12 July 2016 edition of CNN Newsroom, Douglas Brinkley predictably gushed over President Obama's speech at a memorial service for the murdered police officers in Dallas, Texas: "I heard echoes of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Abraham Lincoln. It was elegantly written. It pulled on scripture at the right times." Brinkley also touted the "high caliber" of the address, and likened to President Reagan's Oval Office address after the Challenger disaster and President Clinton's speech after the Oklahoma City bombing.
