22. Obama's Moses-Joshua speeches certainly leave the impression

While I agree that Obama (or his campaign) does not explicitly claim comparison with MLK, various versions of this speech certainly promote such comparisons. A little like Bush saying 9/11 and Iraq in consecutive sentences.

The Obama campaign has been more direct when advancing comparisons with JFK, with Ted Sorenson introducing Obama at various events and describing Obama as the heir to Camelot.
