Watched Bobby tonight - 40 years later and not much has changed
Oh it has gotten much worse than in 1968, but we are in a losing war.
Civil Liberties of people are threatened. In 1968 it was a certain race of people, today it is all of us.
They played many interviews Bobby gave on the campaign trial. Some of the things he said are in some of the campaign messages today:

The Economy - oh the economy Bobby talked about the poor, John Edwards is talking about the poor.

Bobby talked about the war and how we needed a new direction, which Democratic Candidate isn't talking about that?

Bobby even mentioned the environment one clip they showed was him talking about how polluted New Yorks air was becoming and that one day people would have to wear gas masks to breathe. Wow sound familiar, just a little.

1. It really hurts my heart to think about how much worse it got since
we lost JFK and Bobby. We have lost so much...

2. I think Bobby would have been against the Iraq war from the start
Don't you? Although this movie got trashed by the critics, I found it entertaining.

3. Oh yeah, I am sure he would have
I don't think any one but the monsters who currently occupy the nations capital would have started Iraq.
