Obama: My Kids Will Succeed, Even if USA Doesn't

Obama: My kids will succeed, even if USA doesn't

By Joel Gehrke Washington Examiner Commentary Staff Writer

President Obama believes that Republican leadership of the country would ruin the United States as a land of opportunity, but he's (justifiably) confident that his daughters will have plenty of opportunities, no matter what.

"Our kids are going to be fine," Obama told supporters at a campaign event last night. "[T]hey’re on a path that is going to be successful, even if the country as a whole is not successful. But that’s not our vision of America.  I don't want an America where my kids are living behind walls and gates, and can’t feel a part of a country that is giving everybody a shot."
