—Bush Marks African-American History Month

WASHINGTON (CNN) - During an election year notable for the diversity of the Presidential candidates that include Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. Barack Obama, whose father is from Kenya, and former candidate Arizona Gov. Bill Richardson, whose mother is Hispanic, President Bush today both touted progress on race relations in the United States and reminded Americans the country still has a long way to go. [...]
President Bush also honored four people who contributed to African-American history, including civil rights leader Rep. John Lewis and former Secretary of Transportation William Coleman, the first African-American cabinet member of a Republican administration.

Reflecting on their accomplishments, the President expressed hope for continued progress on race relations in America, saying, "…in the example of the leaders like those we honor today, we see strength greater than any division."

Nice juxtaposition of the pictures and the words.....words vs deeds. What is missing is the "Don't touch me you sleazy murdering bastard!" But then again, I'm not allowed out in public unattended.
