Obama talks to students

Now that the White House has released the text of President Obama’s speech to school children, it is clear just how ridiculous and misplaced all the anger and concerns were.

Here’s an example:

And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you – don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.

The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things got tough. It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.
