And yet, at the NAACP meeting some time ago (not sure how long), he did say a lot that sounded like personal responsibility. Where is that link? Gotta go find it.

See, not functioning well. Serious caffeine infusion needed.

Here’s one link about the speech…..

“We have to say to our children, `Yes, if you’re African-American, the odds of growing up amid crime and gangs are higher. Yes, if you live in a poor neighborhood, you will face challenges that someone in a wealthy suburb does not,’” Obama said, returning to his tough-love message familiar from his two-year presidential campaign.

“But that’s not a reason to get bad grades, that’s not a reason to cut class, that’s not a reason to give up on your education and drop out of school,” he said. “No one has written your destiny for you. Your destiny is in your hands and don’t you forget that.”

Emphasis mine.
