Is it just me or does that @google likeness look more like Obama than King Jr. ? @michellemalkin #tcot @TwitchyTeam @DavidWebbShow

It’s not just you. The words included in today’s Google doodle are the ones Martin Luther King Jr. used in his famous “I Have a Dream” speech 50 years ago.

But the ears? Many Googlers say they’re all Obama.
Did anyone else notice that the Google drawing to celebrate the 'I Have a Dream' speech shows a guy with big ears — like Obama, not MLK Jr?

50th Anniversary- Google is confusing me. Is this supposed to be MLK or Obama? Look at the ears. pic.twitter.com/0WxQwBM8YR

It’s not just those pesky “right-wing extremist” types buzzing about the ambiguous doodle. This GOP hater sees the president’s ears as well.

And this Obama fan also spotted the resemblance to The One:

The official @GoogleDoodles account has yet to tweet a description of the image.
What do you think? Artistic license? Coincidence? Or the insertion of Obama into yet another great moment in American history?
Update:
The description from @GoogleDoodles:
Today in the U.S. we celebrate 50 years since #MartinLutherKingJr. delivered his "I have a dream" speech. pic.twitter.com/PZ95vEOGA2
