White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the president's visit was a way to pay tribute to "Dr. King's legacy, his vision and his lifetime of service."
"This is a way to honor a lifetime dedicated to fighting for equal opportunity and equal justice for all people," he said.
I like how McClellan is basically saying: Well, the President's appearance on this one specific day totally makes up for MLK's lifetime of dedication to equality. Nevermind that <i>"not one policy decision made by the Bush administration — from the war in Iraq to the economy, from education to the environment — has mirrored King's dream." (- Elijah E. Cummings, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus.) </i>But hey, we bought a wreath.
