[lbo-talk] how BHO is like MLK

[Carrol Cox]

There's an NPR music program called "American Roots," of uneven quality
but often quite good. The other night I wasn't listening  very
attentively, but suddenly there was this guy talking about  Obama &
King, how Obama was the crowning achievement of that movement. And I
think a bit later he rambled on about the "movement"  Obama created
(presumably Move On!) and how if it stuck together it would do great
things or something like that. All-in-ll pretty disgusting.
