Ironic that so many americans, like that speech so much( including major corporations like McDonalds) because out of all of his speeches, King liked that one the least. And and although he would be pleased with O'bama I don't think he would be as impressed with him as the rest of yall. And frankly given the shift of focuse that King began to take right before he was assasinated, I think he would be gravely disturbed at our "progress"

It also shows what finishing high school, going to college, and hard work can do. The presidency, nor any occupation is owed to anyone.

And tonight, the fulfillment of at least part of that dream. Whatever your political bent, the notion that we have come so far in 45 years, from Jim Crow to Barack Obama is a fine and impressive thing.
