I have a problem with what Obama said. I didn't post the OP, but I have a problem with Obama bringing up Wall Street in a speech about MLK in which he speaks for MLK and implies that MLK would not have supported OWS. That's how it sounds to me and I don't like it.

The OP is a bullshit interpretation, and you obviously have no clue what the President said.

President Obama

<...>

If he were alive today, I believe he would remind us that the unemployed worker can rightly challenge the excesses of Wall Street without demonizing all who work there; that the businessman can enter tough negotiations with his company’s union without vilifying the right to collectively bargain. He would want us to know we can argue fiercely about the proper size and role of government without questioning each other’s love for this country -- (applause) -- with the knowledge that in this democracy, government is no distant object but is rather an expression of our common commitments to one another. He would call on us to assume the best in each other rather than the worst, and challenge one another in ways that ultimately heal rather than wound.
