29. Here.....
Hillary downrating MLK's accomplishment 1 week before his Birthday by stating that it took LBJ (a President) to make Civil right Legislation an actual reality.

Was Hillary portraying herself as similar to LBJ (a White man and President) as she was quoted as saying "I get things done".....and LBJ as who got things done, while characterizing Obama as simply have a speech preaching false hope, with a clear comparison to speechmaker preacher MLK.

The problem with Hillary on this is that both she and Obama are senators. She was never a President, and Obama was never a preacher. So why the comparisons and the parallels? Why even bring up LBJ and his role? What was the point to be made by Hillary on this? obviously she felt it important to make this statement...by why? :shrug:

Hillary simply excused it as being "an Historical fact"....same reason she gave for the Hispanic comment.
