Obama and MLK

This, from the January 16 Religion & Ethics newsweekly is a worthwhile read:

MLK's Dream and Obama
As Americans prepare to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the day before the historic presidential inauguration, connections between Barack Obama and the slain civil rights leader are inevitable. For many across racial and religious lines, Obama's inauguration is seen as one key fulfillment of Dr. King's dream, offering hope to people of every creed and color from all walks of life.

This is so true ... hope that we can move pass the shame, and the hatred of each other --- and have more respect for each other as human being.

I am glad I can see when you have a new post, as I so enjoy your sharing.

Hello Sandy!
I respect Obama!
and I'm jealous of you!
because you have such a wonderful leader!
we don't have such a great man in Japan.
