Ripped off? Heh. We saw it. It isn’t that impressive. Nothing can compare to Washington, Lincoln or Jefferson, and I don’t think the artist even tried to reach that height of beauty, because it would be impossible.

I don’t think the King memorial belongs in that location, anyway. I think the Tidal Basin should have been reserved for the presidents.

However, if King hadn’t been placed on the Basin, you just know people would have wanted to put a statue of Obama there one day. If I had to choose between King or Obama there, I would have to go with King.

Last I heard, they didn’t have all the funds for the King site, yet.

I still think the worst is the FDR monstrosity. That should be torn down, and turned into a parking lot. It would be a better use of that particular location, until Reagan’s memorial is put up covering what used to be the FDR memorial.
