Obama knew. pRes_ _ent Obama is nothing but a sociopath
who blames everyone else but himself.

"Obama Stopped Using MLK's Oval Office Rug Quote
After Notified in 2008 of 'Borrowed' Origin
The news of Barack Obama's new Oval Office rug containing
a favorite quote used by Obama that he attributed to Martin Luther King
was taken from a sermon by 19th century Unitarian minister Theodore Parker
has taken an interesting twist with research by Freeper Enchante (and Hot Air)
showing that in 2008 Obama stopped using the quote in stump speeches
after his presidential campaign was informed its origin
by Unitarian Rev. Matt Tittle"

...well...since Martin Luther King was a Republican.....I guess his quote is appropriately in the carpet for everyone to walk on.

This reminds me of a local story a few years ago about an artist who had been commissioned to create a mosaic mural at a public library (Livermore, California: suburb of San Francisco).

LIVERMORE / Artist to correct misspellings in library mural

October 15, 2004 | By Leslie Fulbright, Chronicle Staff Writer

The misspelling Miami muralist whose mosaic outside the Livermore library caused a national uproar has agreed to correct her mistakes -- sometime next year.

Maria Alquilar, who said last week she would not fix the 11 misspellings because people had been so mean to her, apparently changed her mind after a discussion with Jim Piper, Livermore's assistant city manager....
