‘Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.’
Well everyone knows his great speech in Washington. But that wasn’t all he was.
He was someone who embraced people of all races, opposed the war in Vietnam and fought for justice.
We need more charismatic leaders like Martin Luther King.

Yes, at least he did something made the World listen. Unlike that useless waste of space Obama who in the last week has discredited the Office of the President of the United States. Obama will only be remembered for one thing and that is not what he achieved in office, I guess you could say the 400 plus games of golf could count for something.
I gather you are none too fond of Obama. He’s obviously done something to annoy you. I personally find most American Presidents are very suspect, dangerous and annoy the hell out of me.
All they care about is America and spend their time messing the rest of the world up.
So I don’t hold out a great deal of hope for any of them. For me Obama spoke a good set of speeches but has largely failed to deliver. That’s par for the course.
Yes, he exists! He had a golden opportunity to create something new in that country. Over the last eight years he has nothing nothing than arse around and discredit the country. So much for “Yes we can”. He really was quoting “Bob the Builder” after all.
