Talk about changing the world! Obama gets the coveted endorsement of Sen. Robert C. Byrd.

“As people all across this great nation know, I have been one of the most outspoken opponents of the Bush administration’s misguided war in Iraq and its saber rattling around the globe,” Byrd said.

He said he had “no intention of involving myself in the Democratic campaign for President in the midst of West Virginia’s primary election. But the stakes this November could not be higher.”

Byrd praised both Obama and Hillary Clinton, saying their “integrity, honor, love for this country and strong belief in our Constitution I deeply respect…

“Barack Obama is a noble-hearted patriot and humble Christian, and he has my full faith and support,” Byrd concluded.

He’s come a long ways from his leadership position as exalted cyclops in his local KKK chapter to endorsing an African American for the highest position in the nation. From stating, “”I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side” to putting his stamp of approval for one to be the Commander in Chief is something amazing. Change? Yes. We. Can.
