When I hear people emphasize Obama's oratorial skills, and that's all they talk about, it reminds me of how Dr. King's life has been distilled down to his "I Have A Dream" speech, almost dismissing the years of hard work and sacrifice that came before it.
Obama could have been Mitt Romney, but instead chose to work in the neighborhoods of southside Chicago with citizens struggling to make their lives a little better.
He's a Harvard Law School grad. He's worked 7 years in the Illinois senate, has more elected experience than Hillary Clinton, and knows that, ultimately, nothing gets done unless both sides come to the table and listen to one another. That's real.
He is not Muslim; his home church in Chicago is not radical. Hopefully the voters who are susceptible to internet smears stay home on election day.
If Clinton is for the workers, why is she attempting to divide the union. Obviously, as individual voters, workers can caucus for whom they want - but why is she sending the message that she's a divisive figure? Interesting campaign strategy.

Hillary said that Dr. King's dream "began to be realized" when President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law. Began? No one's denying Lyndon Johnson's role, but in that one statement she not only disses Dr. King's relevance but also completely forgets about those, black, white, rich, and poor, who worked tirelessly at a grassroots level.
