Way to lead by example, Obama. It's kind of pathetic, but this story (assuming the right people hear about it) could actually open some eyes. His kid gets a C, and he doesn't just get angry at the teacher and demand a better grade. What a concept! Too many parents don't believe in education or skills; they think education is a sham, schools just anoint "winners in life," and public schools have no business discriminating when they hand out tickets to the middle class.

I don't think I'll ever agree with him on policy, but if he convinces the country that going from a C to a 95 is "acting black", I will happily anoint him my favorite president ever.
