Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin seized Martin Luther King Day as an opportunity to lob vague criticism at President Barack Obama.

"Mr. President, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and all who commit to ending any racial divide, no more playing the race card," Palin wrote Monday on her Facebook page, after quoting from the civil rights icon's famous "I Have A Dream" speech.

Obama said in an extensive New Yorker profile published this weekend that he believes “there’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black President."

"Now, the flip side of it is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I’m a black President," he added.

Palin didn't point to any specific instances of the President playing the race card in the short post.

last night on Raw they had some MLK day bumper thing. Out of four black wrestlers who wrestled last night, only one won. :sabu In the main event, Kofi was kickng ass and then John Cena comes in and gets him dq'd and then they show some fight in the crowd and forget Kofi exists. :dead On King day even.

i have to say i admire her work ethic, she managed to turn (http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/troll.png)ing into a career.

It's not very hard to troll 24/7 on a forum on in real life. In fact with the way people adopt personas nowadays I would say actually being genuine is the rare thing by comparison.

they had more mlk tributes than wwe network commercials last night. it was cool, but still kinda weird.

and to be fair, wwe makes sure every other wrestler in the room gets ignored when cena is around.

For the next MLK day, let's celebrate by not acknowledging that Sarah Palin exists.
