McCain congratulates Obama

You know what's funny about him referencing this "historic" day of a MLK, Jr. speech? The fact that McCain, as a congressman, voted against establishing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday as a national holiday.

Some might say, oh, this was 25 years ago, what does it matter? It does matter, because his record on civil rights has been horrible ever since, including voting against other measures to honor Dr. King. The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, which rates congressmen and women on their voting records as they pertain to civil rights, scored McCain at 22% (100% is the highest rating). The ACLU has given him a 17% rating during his time in the 110th Congress and a 22% lifetime rating.

This is just another example of how someone like McCain, steadfast in the mentality of past generations, is not ready to lead a diverse America into the 21st century.
