Martin Luther King, Jr., or Barack Obama?

Martin Luther King, Jr.'s achievements and Barack Obama's achievements are, in ways, both similar and different.  Both have had a great impact on our world, but which leader's achievements are most influential?

MLK

MLK. He fought for a provably just cause and died for it.

Obama probably wouldn't have become president if it wasn't for MLK's heroism.

Marty wins again but (to be fair to Obama) he has just begun ;)

Regardless of how civilized the world is, there are still large numbers of people living in the most primitive conditions. The most important of these because they are the most scientifically studied are the "aborigines" of Australia. The scientific study of the aboriginal Australian forms the basis of what is best known of primitive societies in general.

Hear hear! The only reason Obama cant get any reforms through is just because of the tea party hammering him down 24/7. It sucks, because he only wants good things for the United States of America, and he could do great things if it wasn't for the tea party.

Seriously? Wait until the term is over, please!

For now, MLK. He gave his life for civil rights. Obama just got elected president. And if I'm being skeptical, only one of those is self-serving and ambitious.

I was just thinking that we would look at everything Obama has done until now to become President, and everything that he does while President would just be thought of as something done within his Presidency. So, the question is, at this point, whose achievements have had a bigger impact on us?

To answer your question, Dr. King had a much more profound impact on America, thus far. I mean, he only led the civil rights movement of the 1960's, enabling African Americans the same rights as any other American. This was kind of a good thing for Obama, since if we didn't have a civil rights movement, I'm sure no black man would be in office, whether as president or as senator.

Before the colonization of Australia, The aboriginal Australian understood neither the cultivation of the land nor the rearing of sheep and cattle. The dingo was their only "domestic" animal.

Civil and political rights are a class of rights and freedoms that protect individuals from unwarranted government action and ensure one's ability to participate in the civil and political life of the state without discrimination or repression.

MLK most likely made it possible for Obama to get elected. Also so far Obama has only gotten elected, MLK was in marches and protests he fought hard and paid the ultimate price. Obama was elected because of the color of his skin and not the content of his character.

"Obama was elected because of the color of his skin and not the content of his character."

Actually Obama was elected because his predecessor was one of the worst presidents in history. This severely hurt the republican party. What sealed the deal was the nomination of Sarah Plain which struck the final blow that caused the schism between fiscal conservatives and religious, social conservatives.

It's much easier to dismiss all of this and just say it was because Obama is black though. I find it funny how conservatives half the time say, "Wahhhh it's not fair he only got elected because he is black" and then the other half of the time say "He's not even black what the hell, he's only half black." Typical Conservative Cognitive Dissonance (TM).

I am just going to throw this out there I mean no offense (someone I know said this); "You would think that they could at least elect somme one who is more than half black."

I hate when people try to put Obama right next to MLK. He doesn't even come close.

Also I think it's interesting that people who seem to hate republicans praise MLK. He was a republican. D:

MLK hands down... no contest here! MLK was a great man who did great things... Barry Obama is a no good, no experience, racist with shady ass friends and he is destroying the country by bankrupting us! He should be impeached, convicted and tried for treason!

Obama's presidency is still young. Some view him as a socialist, and some love him

MLK, however, changed the course of human history not only in the US, but quite possibly the whole world. It's a shame he died so young; who knows what he could have done.

I don't like either but I would have to say the adulterer-cocaine addict-MLK.

They're both dumb niggers though.

Actually I think Obama has had a good first 3 weeks as President.

He got 4 people to pay their back taxes. ;)

As Dr. King asked to be remembered, I will tell them that this man gave his life serving others. I will tell them that this man tried to love somebody. I will tell them that because he did these things, they live today with the freedom God intended, their citizenship unquestioned, their dreams unbounded.
