Memo To: Sens. Clinton and Obama

Friends,
I think the world of both of you. I will be pleased to have either of you as my President. For now, let's get a clue.
There is nothing to argue about regarding the Civil Rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. provided the necessary moral leadership to force the government into action. President Lyndon B. Johnson acted with the necessary political leadership to enact the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act. King without Johnson never moves beyond being a prophetic voice in the wilderness. Johnson without King never risks the political capital to do the right thing.
Got it? Good! Now, let's get on with the campaign!
