Description: Obama's failures on the Global chess board
Recently, I was exploring the Whitehouse.gov site, looking for a transcript of our deal with Iran. Before finding it, I was distracted by two Obama videos. In the first, his weekly message to America on July 11th, he spoke about his new plan to make housing fairer. In the second, he spoke about criminal justice in America. Next week I’ll talk about his criminal justice speech. Today, a few words about the AFFH. Here’s an excerpt:from his weekly video address.
“In some cities, kids living just blocks apart lead incredibly different lives. They go to different schools, play in different parks, shop in different stores, and walk down different streets. And often, the quality of those schools and the safety of those parks and streets are far from equal – which means those kids aren’t getting an equal shot in life.
“That runs against the values we hold dear as Americans. In this country, of all countries, a person’s zip code shouldn’t decide their destiny. We don’t guarantee equal outcomes, but we do strive to guarantee an equal shot at opportunity – in every neighborhood, for every American. “
