The problem is that he interjected himself into a self-aggrandizing situation where he has no business. I don't want my kids or grandkids looking to Obama as any kind of example or role model. They are not ready to discern between his "innocuous" message and subversive intent. The problem is not what Obama said.

He's a prime example of affirmative action. He doesn't know the meaning of hardwork, sacrifice or being smart. He can read a teleprompter and that's about it.

As long as he didn't stray, I think this would have a profound impact on minority children. However, since it would undermine the false democrat premise of white oppression that Sharpton and Jackson put forward, it won't happen.

In other words, we had to know our stuff, and we weren't allowed to use books or class notes. Some courses that I took in college allowed open book (and sometimes take home) exams. This got me to wondering. Is Obama's speech an "open teleprompter" or a "closed teleprompter" speech?
