President Barack Obama had a tough-love message for fellow African-Americans on Thursday, urging black parents to push their children to think beyond dreams of being sports stars or rap music performers. He better watch out. They called Bill Cosby and Juan Williams Uncle Toms for pushing the same message.

"Our kids can't all aspire to be the next 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," he said. Just another example of "It's All About Obama." Who cares what he wants? This speech called for inclusion of the Black community and these concepts as being something the group wants for improvement and hope in the future. Should have been "we". Don't even get me started on the irony of telling people they shouldn't be dependent on government when Obama and his party insist on dependency as a route to political power for themselves.
