John Lewis, civil rights activist and ignorant black man is now supporting Barack Obama. Like Jesse Jackson he has switched support in recent months not because Barack was persuasive, but because the vast majority of blacks supported Barack.

The bigger issue at work here though is the closer to the white house Barack gets, the more irrelevent the argument that black people cant get anywhere is and conversely, the less money he, Jesse and Al can extract from people who are already poor to begin with (in spite of whatever Escalades may be parked at the church).
