In watching Obama's eloquent and powerful speech I couldn't help wishing

that April 4th 1968 had never occured and that our old friend could see what his dreams have brought forth.

10. your comment is inaccurate, insensitive and out of place with
this thread. I would like to ask you nicely to edit these comments out and start your own thread on that point.

Obama is not my candidate and this thread in a sense is about King not Obama.

Thank you

12. Thank you for a beautiful post
Although this country still has a long way to go, I think Dr. King would be proud of where we are today.
