President Obama honored the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday with a Monday tweet that included a special someone standing next to the MLK statue in Washington, D.C. — himself.

Some Twitter users weren’t thrilled with the president including himself in a moment that was supposed to be about someone else.

The rest of the tweet linked to a video of Obama urging Americans to tune into the White House live stream Tuesday to watch the president give his State of the Union address.
