“On a more serious note; some reason this guy can’t LEAD and make THIS a priority?”

Amen. I have long felt that he would make a lasting impact in the world if he would focus on the black community and inspire and encourage young people to focus on education and doing something worthwhile. He has a captive audience and one that worships him and would actually listen and be motivated to “change” behavior. In black communities here, his portrait hangs in many business windows.

All he would have to do is schedule visits to schools, and say “Michelle and I would like you all to be at the top of your professions, work hard, give to others, and make this world a better place. Don’t do drugs, have babies out of wedlock or end up in jail. Who knows...you may even get to be president one day.” Doing well would become cool.

Instead, whitey is blamed for keeping the black man down....grrrrr. How sad and pointless. Blaming others never solves a problem.

Would be nice, but the job first and foremost rest squarely on the parents, one of which is noticeably absent. A boys hero needs to be his father.
