What would the Rev Martin Luther King think of Obama’s presidency?

“John Lewis, now a Georgia congressman, is the only survivor of the March’s original organizers. [..] Lewis has also lived long enough to see that even a black president can be tone deaf to the spirit of King’s life. If King, an apostle of non-violence and advocate for the poorest of the poor, were alive today, what would he make of President Obama’s careless-with-life drone assassinations, his bullying of journalists and whistleblowers, his assent to slashing Social Security via his Scrooge-like ‘deficit commission’? Without irony, the current 50th birthday organizers have invited Obama to speak from the very same podium where King made history.”
