Laura and I are deeply saddened by the death of Coretta Scott King. Mrs. King was a remarkable and courageous woman, and a great civil rights leader. She carried on the legacy of her husband, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., including through her extraordinary work at the King Center. Mrs. King's lasting contributions to freedom and equality have made America a better and more compassionate nation. Laura and I were fortunate to have known Mrs. King, and we will always treasure the time we spent with her. We send our condolences and prayers to the entire King family.
That's thoughtful.
Funny how he has to be PC and note the passing of someone who lambasted him in her circles. He said more than I would have.
Now he's going to the funeral. Originally it was going to be Laura Bush and George H.W. going but he changed his schedule.
He's also lowering the flag in Mrs. King's honor. What do you guys think of that? She was a private individual & not in the Flag Code list of the kinds of people the flag is normally lowered for.
Bogus. Will he ower it for me whe I go, not! She is no more important than 240 million others.
