Child Drops Out Of School, Destroys Nation's Future

From the Omnioptical President, a politician who can "focus" on multiple objects simultaneously, comes this latest absurdity from the "reality stranger than Onion-magazine fiction"-file:
“In this kind of knowledge economy,” Mr. Obama said, “giving up on your education and dropping out of school means not only giving up on your future, but it’s also giving up on your family’s future and giving up on your country’s future.”
How ironic. A Knowledge Economy, led by politicians who Don't Know and Can't Remember anytime they are summoned to Capitol Hill to give testimony.

Dropping out of school-- not just a bad idea, it's downright unpatriotic! Whaddayamean you didn't do your homework, kid? Do you hate your country or something?
