President Obama Delivers Remarks at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Dedication

In his remarks at The National Mall President Obama said, “For this day, we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s return to the National Mall. In this place, he will stand for all time, among monuments to those who fathered this nation and those who defended it; a black preacher with no official rank or title who somehow gave voice to our deepest dreams and our most lasting ideals, a man who stirred our conscience and thereby helped make our union more perfect.” October 16, 2011.

    Support Ron Paul.

    Google “Political positions of Ron Paul” And look at the Wiki links or ThePoliticalGuide

    Less government spending, less taxation to American Citizens, a budget plan that works.

    This man has been fighting for your personal freedom and the separation of congress from big business for years.

    He is a man who stands against the war on drugs, the foreign wars, and corporate bail outs.

    Vote for liberty this year. Vote for real change.

    Vote up and spread the message!

    @Magicmanny
    Which is nothing more than leftist idealogy draggin us out of capitalism. “Cronie capitalism” is just another term for a small strp towards socialism. None of our problems are due to people being free to pursue their individual prosperity. They ALL stem from politicians having influence to sell, and that’s socialism. Even in small amounts.

    Obama / Biden 2012: “One People. One Nation!”  “We Can’t Wait!” <3 0:o)

  6. Magicmanny says:

    @pimpdalyrical It’s also chrony capitalism and what you mentioned about government regulations falls into protectionism

  7. Magicmanny says:

    This man is supporting civil rights and speaking for freedoms, yet he is constantly taking away our freedoms, Martin Luther King was against wars while Obama is for them. Obama is supported by some of the most corrupt bankers and politicians in the industry. Obama you are complacent in the destruction of our economy. How dare you use Martin Luther King as a tool to push your rhetoric.

    @ismailaminaden What the fuck are you talking about. Just because we dont worship your God doesnt mean were all going to hell. I dont worship Allah, I worship God my God. For you to blast us for what we do makes you the wrong person not us

  11. KeepJesusFirst says:

    @ismailaminaden Some think Obama is one of the bigest victorys for African Americans in US history! But Mr Obama, YOU ARE NO DR KING! Great leaders like Dr King would be very upset with how you have perverted his “Dream”! Dr King never promoted equality with gays! Many folks today would even go so far as to label Dr King as a homophobe! But Dr King was a real man who respected the Bible! He showed a true reverance of God! Obama does not! Dr King would be very grieved at things you have done!

  12. ismailaminaden says:

    @Lcinsane A choice is only a choice when you are living your life according to the one who created you.

    When you live for the Devil and you follow satanic teachings and your life is corrupted by Alcohol, Gambling, Prostitution, Drugs, Corruption, Hate, Racism etc. Then clearly your choice becomes irrelevant.

    Allah is the one true God…I am a follow of the teachings of his beloved Prophet’s Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, Joseph, Ishmael, Isaac etc, etc and I am here to warn you.

  13. Lcinsane says:

    @ismailaminaden You should not be so ignorant, people have a choices in life, and its there choice weather they want to be Muslim, just because people are not Islam and do not worship “Allah” does not make them evil and deserve them to be sent to hell… thats just wrong… people have a right to believe in anything they wish… Martin Luther king was a great man..

  14. MyNonDescriptName says:

    the statue of king is WHITE??!! yeah, i would like to correct this problem. first i would take a massive shit all over it and smear it all around the statue, then it would be his color. plus it would smell like a black man too so it would take care of that as well. they should build a portopotty over the statue so all white folk visiting the black ghetto of Washington d.c can pay the rightful respects to that garbage statue of a black fraud. waste of space…

  25. devaunrashard says:

    @HarryOrielly lol @ criminal past. please stop watching foxxx. that network is cancerous. secondly, I grew up 3 miles from the president’s home in Chicago so I know all about the man he is & it isnt how you, Larry Sinclair, Limbaugh, Cain & other gop supporters portray him to be. THAT sir is dishonest.

  26. bpdrocks says:

    Thank you for posting. My dad is 68 my niece 21 myself 47 and all generations are so moved by this. To think this band wrote this in their early 20s. Going to MLK conference in Detroit on the 11th of this month…wish U2 could be there to perform this. That would be awesome!!!!

  27. DarthHumongous says:

    @Ennzo51Mr I think it makes parallels between Jesus and MLK. They both sacrificed themselves for the good of others

  28. daron684 says:

    a teacher put this on class xD

  29. 95fanboy says:

    @freddieprize AMEN BROTHER!!

  30. KaijuKing says:

  31. generalnaa says:

    this song is for jesus….

  32. ashley101verve says:

    @KaijuKing yes thats true but he wouldn’t want that ether for them he just wanted everybody to accept differences and come together as one it wouldn’t be peaceful if they had to die to it would just be creating a bigger problem peace consist of suffering if you don’t suffer you really can say you have had peace in your life so i understand where your coming from but you also got to understand what martin wanted….

  33. dudsisfake says:

    @CarmenGreer79 i’m pretty sure mlk is dead now

  34. freddieprize says:

    long live dr king, fuck the kkk & racist

  35. MunicipalMeep says:

    @ftwfckyea not tupac, but sadly he was taken just like MLK :C

  36. ftwfckyea says:

    An Irish rock band made a beautiful song for a American hero…and yet these American rappers just talk about money and asses.
    “FREE AT LAST, THEY TOOK YOUR LIFE, THEY COULD NOT TAKE YOUR PRIDE” MLK RIP: U2 legends

  37. ftwfckyea says:

    An Irish band made a beautiful song for a American hero…and yet these American rappers just talk about money and asses. Rock n Roll is real music. MLK and U2 true legends

  38. bidmila says:

    I am from BOSNIA and I simply love this man.
    RIP DR.KING

  39. KaijuKing says:

    Amazing. He was amazing. Whoever dares kill him when all he wants is peace and equality should suffer, burn, choke, die, when they return where they came from. Martin Luther King is a legend. R.I.P, Martin Luther King.

    Sainthood!

  41. Myworthlessaccount says:

    @Ennzo51Mr its about jesus and MLK
    i think it is saying that MLK was doing what jesus wants us to do

  42. ytemsg says:

    The end of the world is not in 2012, but JESUS CHRIST will come, that’s for sure ! Start a personal relationship with JESUS CHRIST and you will be saved

  43. Ennzo51Mr says:

    Both are Capricorns ,M.L KING 15 january,Jesus 25 decembar:))Maybe becouse:))

  44. GlamorousTurd says:

    @Ennzo51Mr It’s about both. Bono is a deeply religious Christian who works references to Jesus in most of his songs. Yes part of the song is definitely about MLK (he may even be the main subject of the song) but he’s definitely comparing his martyrdom to that of Jesus. The line “one man betrayed with a kiss” is quite obviously a reference to the story of Judas’s betrayal of Jesus to the romans. So yeah, the song’s about both.

  45. 63Mastermind says:

    No one’s probably gonna read this, but I’ll say it anyway cuz I feel at least 1 person will. I’m a young designer and graffiti artist, I know there’s a million out there but I feel like my art has a unique individual style.

    If you just take a min and give me a chance I’ll make you a believer. I would love nothing more than to have a loyal following on youtube. If anyone who reads this could press the “THUMBS UP” others will see it. Just a simple button push will make a huge difference.

    Black slave descendants are the true Hebrew Israelites. The Lord is punishing their captors. The oppressors are falling!!!!

  47. Ennzo51Mr says:

    This song is about M.L KING really.Any idiots not listen the text and say it s a song about Jesus.
    EArly Morning April 4,shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
    Day when M.L kING was Killed!

  50. paqmanjr08 says:

    i dont think this song is about dr. king. in some of the lyrics he talks about Jesus.

    And its funny how people called the 14 or 15 people kkk or illuminaty followers. where is the love in that? thats just hate right there.
