John McCain: I was wrong
At a speech in Memphis yesterday, John McCain was rightly booed as he attempted to suck up to the largely black crowd gathered in remembrance of Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. "I was wrong when I voted against Martin Luther King Day becoming a national holiday". See, I'm even letting this nice black man hold my umbrella for me:

Yeah and the MSM played it like Sen. Obama was dissing Afro Americans by not being in Memphis. They played about 15 seconds of his Fort Wayne speech, which left the impression that he was just giving lip service to the Murder of Martin Luther King.
Peace.
My only problem with MLK Day is that no persons other than Presidents and the man who discovered (albeit accidentally) the damned country in the first place have ever had holidays named for them - and the two Presidents who were memorialized with holidays have been "consolidated" into one.
That being said, let us never forget the man and the path of civil rights for all people that his efforts set us upon.
Now you know why they call McCain "the pander bear". . .
