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.
