hard to compare them because they're so different. It took me a little
time to get used to Barack's speaking style. But our new president takes no
prisoners, understands the issues we face and addresses them directly.
King was very clear. The things he said decades ago are still true today.
Both faced danger every time they stepped out the door. " -Shirley Minor,

'Kings speeches were
aspirational, forward-
looking and issue-ori­
ented; directed toward
the mountain we needed
to climb. Obama is
someone for whom the
mountain has been
climbed, and we need to
look toward the next
mountain. King's speeches were more metaphori­
cal. Obama is more directly concerned with the
issues o f the day. Both were value­
centric. -Jeana Woolley, developer and consultant
