Glenn Beck's The Blaze reported the story a day before NPR.

And the Unitarians wrote about this on Tuesday, August 31st:

There's a new rug in the oval office, embroidered with inspiring words circling the President. Among those words is a phrase spoken by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was referring to words first written by 19th-century Unitarian minister Theodore Parker, whose works King studied when he was at Harvard Divinity School.

SNIPOther quotes selected by our President to support him in his leadership of our nation are: "The Only Thing We Have to Fear is Fear Itself," President Franklin D. Roosevelt
"Government of the People, By the People, For the People," President Abraham Lincoln (ALSO borrowed from Parker!)

it gets better!!

apparently Obama used the quotation a lot on the campaign trail, said it’s one of his favorites, and then stopped using it when his campaign was informed of the original source and accurate quotation:

so this issue has been unfolding at least since April 2008 as it relates to Obama, but somehow the mis-attributed quotation was brought back to adorn the new carpet in the Oval Office

Obamateurism indeed....
