No xodus; Obama compared himself to King; Hillary said it also took a President to pass the civil rights act and move the agenda forward in Congress. She was sdaying she could be that type of President. FACT: LBJ had to fight hard and dirty to push any civil rights legislation through Congress. LBJ and Kennedy had to front down state militia who were attacking AA protesters as they marched for voting rights and the right to sit at a counter and stay in a hotel and drink at a water fountain. King worked diligently with both Kennedy's and LBJ to force America to acquiesce. Yes it took a President. MLK couldn't do it by himself. How idiotic to cry "racist". FACT: A President had to force states to open schools to AA. Democrats left the party en mass in the South because of LBJ's leadership. They still haven't come back. I suggest you listen to the LBJ tapes on C-SPAN. History is amazing. Check out the National Archives pictures and Dr. King's biography.  Nothing "racial" in trying to compare oneself to LBJ. Civil rights and the war on poverty were his legacy, along with King's.
