Obama Says Dr. Seuss Is The Best Teacher

It's no secret that President Obama is an avid reader. But, he just got even more cred with book-lovers by praising everybody's favorite children's author: yep, Obama loves Dr. Seuss. In a Q&A session with interns, Obama admitted that "pretty much all the stuff you need to know is in Dr. Seuss." And of course, he's spot on.

Obama won his way into the hearts of book nerds last year when he declared that reading novels made him a better citizen. (And considering he's the leader of the entire country, he's pretty much the best citizen there is.) Obama claims that reading teaches you vital skills of empathy — and that Dr. Seuss taught him that lesson particularly well. In this video recently released by the White House, Obama tells the listening interns that the Star-Belly Sneetches showed him "we're all the same, so why would we treat somebody differently?" And as if that wasn't a brilliant enough analogy, he then goes on to muse about the nature of responsibility that he learned from Horton Hatches the Egg.

In books, Obama says, you will find all the "homespun basic virtues" that turn out to be totally true when you grow up. Check out his adorable wisdom here:

Butt-butt-butt “Dr. Seuss” has been declared RACIST!

Theodor Geisel was a gifted propagandist that created many anti-Nazi pieces during the Second World War. His caricatures of Adolf Hitler were devastating. But nobody remembers him for that.

Theodor Geisel was no conservative, for sure. He was a highly motivated socialist, and gloried in the days of the FDR New Deal, the first iteration of socialism brought to the United States.

No matter if your star
Was added or taken away
The truth of your starness
Lies in your sneetch DNA.

I thought that was racist? Remember the books Melania Trump donated that were sent back as unwanted?

Obama is a jug-eared retard married to a man named Michael. Or so I have been told.
