      When Obama settles into King’s footsteps Wednesday, black leaders will be listening for the substance of a president:http://politi.co/15jDvcI

      @politico @jonallendc this makes no sense. Obama isn't standing in MLK's shoes. Two different people with different purposes.

      @rolandsmartin @politico the footsteps phrase means when he literally stands in King's steps at Lincoln. Rest of piece makes point you make.

          @jonallendc @politico The right connection to Obama & King is that MLK was calling for then for where Obama is now: presidential leadership.

          @rolandsmartin @politico I think that's the point Jesse Jackson was making with his quote in the story: legislation vs. motivation.

          @jonallendc @politico The reax after Wednesday's speech will be telling. I'll hear both: the public reax & the private, no holds barred one

          @jonallendc @politico One thing I wish you had done with this story was better make the connection between King's speech, Obama & economics

          @rolandsmartin @politico fair criticism on econ, tho your effort to stop people from comparing O and MLK seems to validate the story. No?

          @jonallendc @politico No doubt. The comparison is easy because it allows people to get caught up in the Dream, as if it has been fulfilled.

          @jonallendc @politico Rep. Adam Clayton Powell Jr said that King said I Have A Dream. Powell said he would have said, I Have A Plan.

          @jonallendc @politico One of the failures of this administration has been on the home foreclosure front. This has been my biggest critique

          @jonallendc @politico NAACP and others called for a foreclosure moratorium, something Obama could have pursued.

          @jonallendc @politico The speech King gave was a radical economic one. He was speaking directly to political leaders about $$$ inequality

          @jonallendc @politico ok. I've always tried to get folks to not even make the comparisons between Obama and MLK. Too easy; far more complex
