Video: Cornel West Explains Being Upset About Barack Obama Being Sworn In With MLK’s Bible

West spoke out against the idea of President Obama sworn in to office with his hands on Martin Luther King Jr.’s bible. “When I got the news that my dear brother Barack Obama, President Obama, was going to put his precious hand on Martin Luther King Jr.’s bible I got upset. And I got upset because, you don’t play with Martin Luther King Jr. and you don’t play with his people. By his people what I mean is people in good conscience, fundamentally committed to piece and truth and justice.”
