And Senator Obama memorializes the day with a tribute to both Dr. King's and Robert F. Kennedy's work for economic justice.
Job losses totaled 80,000 in March, unemployment is on the rise and many more economists are officially describing the U.S. as in recession. Here's Senator McCain's apology and remarks today on having voted against Martin Luther King Jr. holiday in the state of Arizona in 1983. Better late than never? Will he let us know we're in a recession soon, d'ya think?

A Poverty Czar -- that sounds promising. I work with so many families in or near poverty. "Economic Stimulus" alone doesn't do it for them.
