(I had no idea that Bobby Kennedy's "40 years" prediction was so widely discussed, either)

What a wonderfully accurate and optimistic prediction given the times he was living in! Powell was a fantastic and most qualified candidate as well. It's disappointing he decided not to go for it. A great American indeed! What a shame that Rev. King wasn't able to celebrate his 80th birthday on the eve of our first black Presidents' Inauguration!

(I understand an F-bomb was recently removed from a topic title with the rest of the title and thread intact...if you guys can do THAT, it'd be much appreciated if you could change that "O" to an "E". Duh (me).

Originally Posted By Mr X lol. Well, I try not to bother them with stuff like that, but if they happen to notice the topic...that'd be great (it's kind of a funny typo anyway, so it's all good). Barack Luthor Obama How cool would THAT be (probably an improvement over his unfortunate middle moniker lol).
