This does!

“They might think they’ve got a pretty jump shot or a pretty good flow,” Mr. Obama said, “but our kids can’t all aspire to be LeBron or Lil Wayne. I want them aspiring to be scientists and engineers, doctors and teachers, not just ballers and rappers. I want them aspiring to be a Supreme Court justice. I want them aspiring to be president of the United States of America.”

We need to make sure that everyone has a shot at success in our system. 

One group that has been largely ignored are the poor Whites of the United States.  In fact we pretend that all Whites are uniformly well off and privileged when the largest number of Whites in the U.S. live in poverty and have no advocates at all.  They appear on no bean counter's list.   It is rare that we even acknowledge that they exist.

I think one of the things that make America great is our entrepreneurial spirit. We invented the cotton gin, baseball, and the chicken McNugget.
