George W. Bush Honors Martin Luther King Jr.'s Legacy

[monmouth3]

WASHINGTON -- President George W. Bush is remembering Martin Luther King Jr. and his powerful words 50 years ago – words that Bush says changed the hearts of millions.

Bush is not attending Wednesday's 50th anniversary ceremony in Washington. A spokesman says the invitation came as Bush was recovering from a recent heart procedure, so he declined.

But Bush and his wife, Laura, say in a statement from Dallas that King's "I Have a Dream" speech challenged the nation to live up to its founding principles that all people are created equal.

Bush said the nation has come a long way – "yet our journey to justice is not complete" and there is still a need to take King's vision to every community in America.

1. I remember when W invited himself to a MLK birthday ceremony to cover for 2 fundraisers

I also remember that the protestors who showed up were blocked from the TV cameras by buses rented specifically to block TV cameras from filming them....without at least walking across the street....which almost none of the MSM bothered to do.

Until those who commit treason and profit from war crimes are held accountable.

7. Bush laughed when he mentioned ''hanging'' Dr. King's portrait at White House.

Bull- it was just an excuse.

My friend's husband was back to work less than a week after he had his stent put in (and I think he had 2).

When the procedure is done to prevent a heart attack (rather than right after one) most people are back to living their normal lives with in a week.
