I would just remind McCain of one particular verse from the Word of the Lord: "Thou shalt not bare false witness against thy brethren." When one invokes the Lord into one's conversation one should expect that the Lord will pay particular attention to what one is saying. Be careful how you tread, sir with all due respect. The Lord IS listening. The last thing McCain said was, “The word of the Lord.”

And in my dialect of English "a little late" does not translate into 25 years (poor decision in 1983, but admitting it in 2008). I don't want to hear 25 years from now that invading Iraq was a poor decision, but that that's ok anyway.

Unlike a certain president that NEVER changes his mind about ANYTHING! But wait, what am I complaining about him for, he has less than a year left in office. How about we vote for a candidate that makes GOOD decisions and sticks to them...I know a man currently running, and it definitely ISN'T John McCain.

As an old man he stayed strong against MLK Day. Now at the age of 71 years old he sees the light in hopes for a vote. Freshman Senator Obama didn't know what it was like to be a Black Man in America until he went to college. He lived the great life in wealth with his Mother and Grandparent not giving a thought what struggles were going on in the US. Now he's all over Dr. King with his speeches but he didn't bother to read beyond the words I have a dream. As Obama attacks the Clintons one only need to point out this to the so called black Senator: I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Dr. King was not looking for a vote when he marched for Civil Rights and didn't use others to promote his own personal interest. Even Dr. King wouldn't vote for Obama if he were alive today. McCain might just get some black votes as most Black Americans didn't bother to reflect on how they got the equality they have today, their to busy going to the Mall on Dr. Kings Holiday. Now like most Americans if asked about Dr. King all they know is his speech in Washington DC and his death and the words I have a dream beyond that nothing. His message is being lost and people like Obama are using his name for politics only. McCain could be glad if Dr. King never had a Holiday named for him as he said in his speech today he didn't know many blacks as they didn't live in Arizona. Now McCain came from a Military Family and he along with his Father and GrandFather served with Black Soldiers in the US Military yet he can't remember that.
