Why does he not remember JFK and RFKs place with Dr. King in the civil rights movement? Selective memory? His commens are "jaw dropping". Wright is a circus act. Obama is being "done in" by his own people. Wright, certainly remembers the wrongs of the past when it comes to segregation and treatment of blacks.

He, and those republicans, struck me as selfish, obtuse and infantile, angry at their parents. Bill Clinton gave voice to democrats for the first time in years, unfortunately the country was still caught up in the greed of the eighties, and then the selfish, short sightedness of "libertarian" silicone valley. He was, though, for me, our first real democratic president, and a wonderful role model, brilliant, and empathetic, not afraid to fight, really, like Kennedy.
