"A lot of poor children don't get the support they need when they're very young," Obama told a roomful of inquiring students down under. "So by the time they get to grammar school, they're behind."

I think he's right on this, at least from his experiences in Chicago and DC. Dad's not home and mom's figuring out the best way to exchange food stamps for brandy. They certainly don't care if the kid does anything other than watch TV and be quiet.

“I think he’s right on this”

He may be right that there are poor kids who are hurting, but to focus on our faults while in another country as our President is dishonorable.
