Y DECÍAN que era Bush quien no sabía hacer la o con un canuto: Obama aprovecha sus vacaciones veraniegas para redecorar su vida el Despacho Oval (él si puede decir "Buenvenido a la República Independiente de Mi Casa"...). Como elemento destacado, coloca una nueva alfombra adornada con citas históricas... una de ellas falsa:

President Obama's new presidential rug seemed beyond reproach, with quotations from Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. woven along its curved edge.

"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." According media reports, this quote keeping Obama company on his wheat-colored carpet is from King.

Except it's not a King quote. The words belong to a long-gone Bostonian champion of social progress. His roots in the republic ran so deep that his grandfather commanded the Minutemen at the Battle of Lexington.

¿Os imagináis la que se habría montado si hubiese sido el cowboy de Texas?
