Great job Grayson. Why isn't this video on the front page? It's a solid wall of Obama up there. Enough already! This is a huge story that could swing the primary race.
John Lewis is one of the truly great leaders ever produced in the U.S. -- even greater than his namesake John L. Lewis, creator of the CIO. I deeply and sincerely respect John Lewis -- his commitment, intellect and humanity -- one of the real guiding lights of the civil rights and progressive movement.
Having said that, even people of his greatness are occasionally wrong, and in this instance, endorsing Xena, the Warrior Princess, Mr. Lewis is wrong. Clinton has been, and continues to be, a Bush war policy enabler -- granting him the authorization to put my family (but not hers) at risk in Iraq 5 years ago, and now in Iran 5 days ago.
People say don't make it personal. If a politician, regardless of party, continuously sends your family in harm's way for no reason that is in the interests of the U.S., but simply in their own careerist interests, then it's personal.
Hillary has enabled Bush to put my family at risk for nothing but her own petty, careerist reasons. She would be more anti-war than Cindy Sheehan if it were Chelsea who was at risk instead of my (and all those like me) family.
This does not take away, however, from the greatness of John Lewis. He's entitled to an error. He's human.
