I just heard a beautiful summary of last night's events

[24KT]

Martin Luther King walked, ...so that Barack Obama could run.
Barack Obama ran, ...so that our children could fly.

[Benny B]

Yes, that phrase has been making the rounds the last several days. I heard Mario Van Peebles use that quote last weekend.
Beautiful.

What does a church reformer who was born in Germany in 1483 have to do with the events last night?  Where exactly did Martin Luther walk to that was so significant?

I'm just trying to understand the connection here so I can join in the exultation.

You're right HH6, my country would never create such worldwide animosity and squander such political currency.

You're wrong about one thing tho, ...what happened last night, happened all over the world!

No, I'm not an American, I'm a Canadian celebrating a redemption you couldn't even begin to understand.

Maybe when YOU yourself are free, you will, ...maybe, ...maybe not. Who knows? 

ps: I hope your day gets better. I can see it didn't start off too good for you.

I have no idea what you're talking about.
That's my story, ...and I'm sticking to it!

No it didn;t...nothing has changed...the bs might have, but our door kickers will be the same...the hate will be the same. They hated us before Bush and they will hate us with Barrack. Our policies won't change, the packaging might. JAG, ur not American, this could not have happened there. It could not have happened in Europe, not anywhere on almost any governmental level.  My day is fine, great Bi workout and we get to see Brady Quinn start for Cleveland tommorrow night.

Something has changed. The rest of the world thinks much more of Americans today.

I always knew you hyper military types were secret pillow biters. Remember, ...blood is the best lubricant!

Sorry, just had to share as I read a longer verson with "Rosa Parks sat so King could march" in the beginning.
