I was born in 1946 and remember the seperate water fountains and the window that blacks purchased their jugs of beer thru, not being allowed to come inside the family tavern. I believe that black Americans from this time period, like I am sure the Rev is, still are smarting from the treatment they remember. Wouldn't it be nice if they could all just get in the NOW~

McCaskill is a nit-wit. She can't even speak correctly "this water fountain isn't good enough for you?" Huh?

Senator McCaskill has used bad judgment in endorsing Obama, just like he has used bad judgment in attending this church for 20 years. Both should be looked at carefully when their Senate terms expire!

"and I know he has done good works" - and it's said that Mussolini made the trains run on time. Using good works to justify letting the underlying evil slide has never been acceptable.

Sen. Claire McCaskill, needs to publicly apologize to those people who she summarily dismisses as the victims IN history who she says do not count! Frederick Douglas, Martin Luther King, Jr. Thurgood Marshall, Shirley Chisholm, Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, Jackie Robinson... the list is endless! All of them were leaders none of them victims! This is sheer obscenity to say all before Obama mean nothing … in fact if it were not for them, there would be NO OBAMA!
