Obama King Jr.

After reading the to arguments I realized that they both had a lot in common. They where both very well composed. They both had very good arguments about the racism and segregation problems we have in the United States. I believe that's Obama's Speech was done better then Mr. King's. Obama had more points from both side of the argument; where King Jr. just had better view points from the black community, and it seemed to me in some parts of his it was just a little to one sided. They both had there different view points though because of the different time periods. Back when King Jr. was around the racism and segregation was a much bigger deal. So it was a bigger problem and it affected more people.
I also liked how they discussed the racism in there own different ways. Obama tied in his election campaign. Where King was addressing the public about his concern with the racism threat. I believe that the weakest point of Obamas speech was that he was apologising a lot and bringing his campaign into the argument. Where I feel that Kings argument was more one sided on how bad the current state of racism and prejudice was a terrible, but don't get me wrong it was he just didn't take both sides into the argument enough.
