This is ridiculous and really kind of sad. Hillary's comment was clearly emphasizing the need to have a concerned, capable president in order to move forward on race issues. The comment wasn't pro MLK or anti MLK, nor was it pro Obama or anti Obama. I think she was promoting her experience versus that of Obama, but that is a legitimate concern. I am undecided who I would vote for or who I want to win. I do think Hillary has more experience and sesoning. Her administration would hit the ground running rather than having the learning curve that both the Clinton administration and the Bush administration had pre 9-11. On the other hand I like Obama's vision and I am ready to move on from the Clinton "baggage". I am concerned about his lack of experience, just as I was concerned about Bush's lack of experience seven years ago. I am also concerned about Edwards' lack of experience, and I have bascially decided against him this time around. I haven't counted out Obama. Race has nothing to do with my decision, but playing "Gotcha" on statements such as the one Hillary made really doesn't help clarify the situation. I thought historians were pretty much in agreement that it was the Kennedy assassination and the Johnson presidency that enabled civil rights to move forward in the legislature. Does anyone believe Nixon would have introduced the sweeping civil rights legislation that Johnson got through?
