Have you missed the fact that his daughter is absolutely disgusted by Obama?

From election night:

In the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Mr King's family church, thousands of people congregated to watch the election unfold on huge television screens while being entertained by famous gospel singers. Outside police roadblocks were formed to control the huge crowds gathering to witness history unfold.

The congregation was whipped into a fever throughout the evening with specially-written songs including "we started at the outhouse... going to the White House... Yes we can, yes we can."

Mr King's daughter, the Reverend Bernice King, was one of the first to call the contest when shortly after 9pm she urged the crowds to change their chant from "yes we can" to "yes we have". http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...ngs-dream.html

From an interview yesterday:

Tammy Haddad: Is [your father's] dream realized with the inauguration of Barack Obama?

Bernice King: I think Barack Obama's inauguration is a significant milestone in the work and vision that my father cast when he delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. I believe that we still have a lot of work to do, which relates to racial equality and economic equality and even in the other areas my father talked about: the triple evils of poverty, racism and militarism. . . . We have a lot of work to do in that regard in this nation and around the world.

TH: Does it turn a corner?

BK: . . . Oh, yes, I think the inauguration actually lays the foundation and the groundwork for continuing my father's unfinished work. I think President-elect Obama has created a sincere and genuine atmosphere of change. It forwards people an opportunity to really step into that change, to look at the ways they perhaps have been doing things that have hindered the progress of America, whether it's corporate, or whether it's educational, or whether it's any other kind of institution, or even individually. . . . We've moved to a new chapter in our history. We cannot, and I say this loudly, we cannot go back to business as usual. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...011802104.html

Yep, just disgust a-go-go there.

Once again I ask, as I do in so many threads:

1) Are you stupid, a liar, or both?
2) Is there anything -- anything -- you actually do know about American history and politics?
