Obama: I’m being vilified just like MLK, Jr.

At a fundraiser in New York, Obama likened his efforts to reform government to those of Andrew Cuomo, but then Obama also compared what he was going through to the trials and tribulations of Martin Luther King, Jr. (via Sam Foster):

Before leaving, Obama likened himself to one more figure. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“I think that we forget when he was alive there was nobody who was more vilified, nobody who was more controversial, nobody who was more despairing at times,” he said.

GOD, he is such a big baby. Whines, never takes responsibility for anything. How much longer must we put up with this?

If I were Black there are a few very strong words that I’d like to use to describe what I think of this worthless racist bastard, but I won’t.

However, I will think those very descriptive and extremely divisive ugly words (directed at Obama), while I simply laugh at this moronic “Magic Negro”, bastard son of a hippy communist whore.

If only the Black community could join together against Obama and his democrats. They could, with the help of Black conservatives (God bless them), very well repair the damage that Obama and the corrupt fake “Reverends” have caused to race relations. They may even advance race relations by decades.

MLK was not as perfect a man as some want to believe, but he was 1000 times the man that Obama could ever be.

MLK was a leader and unlike Obama, he loved his country.

I am disgusted that Obama would try to compare himself with MLK.

There shouldn’t be a black man or woman alive along with a majority of white people who shouldn’t now spit in Obastard’s face for daring to compare himself to MLK Jr. How dare this sanctimonious mistake of a human being make such a comparison. The biggest mystery to me is how blacks can support the Dimorat Party knowing how the Kennedy’s treated MLK. Their true alegience should be toward the GOP just like King. The only thing the dimwits gave to the blacks was a cross on their back in the form of welfare which enslaved them and took away their dignity.

“What utter conceit...”

Or perhaps he’s simply insane. Regardless of which, he’s a genuine asshat.

[ronnie raygun]

Funny how he fits in a republicans shoes, anyone of his intelligent idiots inform him that MLK was a republican. Sad how MLK’s dream has been bastardized and sold by thier own.

[Skepolitic]

   He hath proclaimed that we are the ones we've been waiting for and that now cometh our time to turn the page on the policies of the past.
    He offereth a new direction for the country we love,
    And prophesied that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless;
    This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal;
    This was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth.
    This was the moment—this was the time—when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves and our highest ideals.

    To him who maketh a new covenant of hope and change, nothing is impossible. He shall surely win the future. Yea, verily, he hath already brought forth change that we can believe in, and hath begun fundamentally transforming the United States of America.

Just offhand, I can think of a bunch of folks who have gotten a lot more villification than Zero:

1. Barry Goldwater
2. Ronald Reagan
3. George Bush
4. Sarah Palin
5. Michelle Bachman

In fact, I lived thru the 60’s. I recall MLK being a well respected figure in white and black circles. And I grew up in flyover country—although not in the South.

But IMO, Zero is not fit to hold MLK’s jockstrap. So in that sense, he deserves less praise and more villification.

[mojito]

I know 0 by the content of his character.

He’s no MLK.

[grumpygresh]

If 0bama is being vilified it is because he’s a villain.

[Cyclone59]

MLK was a Republican and Loved America. He would be against BO

EXACTLY!

[cranked]

An idiotPOTUS who continues to spout idiocy....anything new here? No. =.=

[mojito]

That's an absolutely stunning and disturbing collection.

And this is the same State Media that so loudly proclaims its stridently secular outlook, and that caricatures and criticizes real displays of religious faith in public life whenever it is encountered.

[FlingWingFlyer]

This lowlife has always compared himself to white presidents. FDR, JFK, Abraham Lincoln, etc. Now that he’s getting his @$$ kicked, he wants to be Martin Luther King Jr. Geeesh! He’s ready for Hollyweird. Not satified with being himself, he wants to pretend he’s somebody else. Typical liberal.

Another whopper from ObamaKing. Hold the pickles and the lettuce.

Does this mean that if you want to score some drugs or indulge in other illegal activity, you have to find a Barack Obama Blvd?

Keep talking, O’balmy. Please keep talking!

[Spirit of Liberty]

I believe he was referring to MLK being vilified in the 1960s, not currently. Who knows-40 years from now, Obama might get a little respect.
