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.

I agree. But that horse has already left the barn.
How do you change this for future generations? Obama could change the fabric of America for the better by telling fathers to raise their sons, and the fatherless to do better by their families when they come of age.
I have a dear African-American friend who is a foster mom to troubled teen-aged girls. It’s all she can do to keep them from running away to earn quick money doing tricks. These are 15-17 year olds. Can you imagine if our president told these girls that they’d have a better future if they’d stay in school? He is their god. They won’t listen to you or me, but him...his word is gold to them.
IMO, he is wasting a precious opportunity to leave an amazing legacy. Forget healthcare. Inspire this culture to reach and surpass levels of unprecedented accomplishments. For that he would be admired by all.
