Lies Like a Rug
that rug
Woven into the new presidential seal rug adorning the Oval Office is a misattributed quotation…
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” According media reports, this quote keeping Obama company on his wheat-colored carpet is from King.
Except it’s not a King quote. The words belong to a long-gone Bostonian champion of social progress. His roots in the republic ran so deep that his grandfather commanded the Minutemen at the Battle of Lexington.
For the record, Theodore Parker is your man, President Obama.
...The error perfectly encapsulates the shallowness of Barack Obama’s intellect, and his lack of rigor. ... deep down, he is shallow…
...The ultimate irony is this: Obama’s idol, Martin Luther King, had a long pattern of plagiarism, something airbrushed out of his story by the forces of political correctness, but well recognized by scholars of his written work.
...In a similar way, the botched Oval Office rug becomes a precious symbol of the Obama presidency, based on an image fabricated out of symbols rather than substance, and misappropriating valuable elements of America’s history.
Butt… Erm....
Obama says he doesn’t just like Laura Bush’s designed Oval Office rug / carpet; Obama loves it! ...Obama says the rug will stay.
