i believe that MLK was a great man also, but i do not believe that he should have been the first black president. he was only a spokesperson . he did not convince, nor spoke, for all blacks; everything that was achieved was through hard work. blacks were tired of how they were treated and they did not wait for MLK to come around to achieve their freedom. as for Obama, he deserves to be the first black president. so get use to it because he is going to be in office for the next 4 years.

This man should have been the first black president, not the globalist traitor Obama. MLK is one the greatest Americans ever.

The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments. - Our first President.

a69a59b - you will care after you find out what Connie Fogal in Canada has been trying to tell your sleeping ppl is happening to Canada, your smug now because you think your exempt from what is happening in U.S. but your sadly mistaken Canada is being destroyed just like U.S. by the British. Better wakeup before it's too late.

you are entitled to express your opinions as long as it does not express hatred, or cause damage to the good people of the world people who are nothing like you. Best Wishes from a not so arrogant person but some one who is trying to seek a world with out hate mongers like yourself and a world where even for second people can let go of there hated and see people for who they are
