Great story. It would be nice if our Media would honor this kind of achievement rather than how many gold records a gangsta has sold. Unlike many of the commenters here, I don't really see this as a Dem/Rep topic. THis is more of a cultural issue. African American community needs to focus on the perseverance and success of people like Dr. Sowell and Dr. Carson. Unfortunately, single moms of this generation will have to make the great sacrifice that Dr. Carson's mom had in order to TEACH their children how to succeed. The opportunity is there for those who are willing to earn it.

Oh great! Now the idiot is in charge of a very crucial issue. Hopefully he handles it the same way he was supposed to oversee the stimulus spending AND DO NOTHING!

"...promoting a far more dangerous concentration of political power in Washington-- where far less than one percent of the population increasingly tell 300 million Americans what they can and cannot do," Forget the Dem vs. GOP BS for the moment. What Dr. Sowell points out above is the greatest danger that ALL AMERICANS face. That is the most disturbing thing to me and - although I am no quitter - I think we are past the point of no return.

The scenario you describe is probably closer to what will really happen. The 'kool-aid kids' (aka Obama supporters) have no connection to reality and whatever he says they think is brilliant - and whats worse - they beliee is is true!

"One of the highly developed talents of President Barack Obama is the ability to say things that are demonstrably false, and make them sound not only plausible but inspiring." = Our President is a very skilled liar. Jist like Joe Wilson said right off the bat.
