On issues of race, Obama will forever be either the man who healed the septic wound that runs across the back of this nation, or the man who turned away from the mirror to solve more "practical" issues.

Seeing all the blogs on the Huffington Post made me realize that Americans of all political persuasions care deeply about this issue of oppression in Iran.

Talk radio kingpin Rush Limbaugh has a much bigger obsession than President Obama. That obsession is race. He just can't seem to stay away from it.

You have forever changed what it means to be the President of the United States and I'm so grateful and happy for your existence.

Judging by the almost 80 volunteers who came out to build a garden in Downtown Tacoma, I would have to say there are a lot of Americans out there just waiting for an opportunity to give back!

Today more than ever, Dr. King now seems with us. His premonition of not reaching the Promised Land at this moment seems false, because Barack Obama is standing on King's shoulders.

As a CBS News correspondent, I was walking alongside Dr. King, covering that historic 54-mile march. I am reminded of those steps vividly every year on the occasion of King's birthday.

Let us remember Martin Luther King, Jr. not only as a champion of racial equality and economic justice, but also as an icon of anti-war and pro-peace sensibilities.

We miss Dr Martin Luther King, Jr each day. His day, our day, asks each of us to stand up for decency and justice and non violence in our time, in our community, in our family, and in our world.

On the third Monday of January, our country sets aside a day in remembrance of the life and the work of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. To remember King is to act like him.

I never thought as Martin Luther King Jr's former advisor and speechwriter that I would live long enough to ever publicly write or say these words.

McCain has joked that the media is "his base" of support. It was a funny line, but there is a truth at its core: the media has been hard on Obama but unbelievably light on McCain. And this has to stop. Now.

A man got up and said his name was Paul Carpenter, that he was Barack's college roommate decades ago. "Barack was always a nice guy." Carpenter didn't get elected as a delegate either.
