Oval Office rug gets history wrong

President Obama's new presidential rug seemed beyond reproach, with quotations from Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and the Rev.

According media reports, this quote keeping Obama company on his wheat-colored carpet is from King. Except it's not a King quote.

He grew up in Indonesia, his father was a Kenyan, and he's been fighting the perception that he isn't much of an American since he became a nationally known entity. Unfortunately for President Obama, his redecoration of the Oval Office is not helping by making him seem just as ignorant about America as his critics claim. This latest gaffe is in the expensive rug he commissioned that has woven onto it a quote mis-attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr. Obama's rug has attributed to King an oft-repeated line, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward...
