Ron Fournier, the former Washington Bureau Chief of the Associated Press, has drawn attention for being critical of President Obama...but not today.
In a series of tweets from the scene celebrating Martin Luther King at the Lincoln Memorial, Fournier is already imagining that Obama is making history in front of our eyes, speaking "words for granite." Urp:
Not often you can be pretty sure moments before a speech that you'll be quoting from it for years after. #MOW50. #Obama

Wow. This twin screen of MLK and Obama on MSNBC packs a wallop #MOW50.

"Tell 'em about the dream, Barack!" #WhatMahaliaWouldBeSaying.

#Obama is teaching, not preaching. MLK did same ... until setting aside his text to make history. #mow50

Powerful call to arms: "Change does not come from Washington, but to Washington." #Obama #mow50 #WordsForGranite?

At least Fournier was self-aware enough to retweet a critic with a very different view:
.@ron_fournier You really need to get over your Obama fanboy obsession. He is tiresome and uninspiring. Nothing he says will be remembered.
