Below the fold follows the video of Hillary Clinton’s appearance on “Meet the Press” on Sunday January 13. With regards to Hillary’s remarks about Martin Luther King Jr. and Barack Obama comparing himself to the great civil rights leader are dead-on. She’s completely right that there are important differences between Obama and King, one of them being that MLK actually fought for what he believed, that he was locked up in jail, that he didn’t just “hold speeches” but protest marches… MLK suffered but accomplished much. He wasn’t a media hype, he wasn’t a rock star. Obama is.
Anyway, watch the entire video below:

Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue
publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.
(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly
or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that

the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.
(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements.
Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or
