Because of Barack Obama, my child now: believes he can do anything/believes he can become the president/has higher self-esteem.

Wait a minute: You mean to tell me that before Barry came on the scene, you didn’t teach your child that they could be whatever they wanted to be, accomplish whatever they wanted to accomplish, and that they were worth something?

I don’t need a long drawn out post for this one. It’s simple: ALL OF THIS STARTS AT HOME. Not with celebrities or politicians. My momma ALWAYS inspired me to do my best. She always told me that whatever I wanted to accomplish, I COULD. She made sure I knew I was a person of infinite worth. Not better than anyone else, but certainly NOT WORSE. And she certainly didn’t encourage me to wait until someone else did something before I felt like I could do it too.

So if your child hasn’t learned that lesson yet, I’ma need you to look in the mirror. Not at the blasted TV.
