This little ungrateful piece of shyt not only takes up priceless space at a science fair thousands of kids wish they could have been recognized for, goes to the white house, meets the president, then when the president asks him about science gives the most cavalier and dismissive response imbued with the most vicious sarcasm possible.

fukk that little a$$hole and I'm glad Obama cut him down to size.

He needed a reality cheque and it doesn't matter how it ever comes forth.

:whoa: so the kid not wanting a career in science at that age means that he's not grateful and that he was being dismissive/sarcastic? I just thought he was trying to look cool in front of a crowd, which a lot of 8th graders are always trying to do. He may have even been nervous to be in front of someone so important/who he sees on TV all the time. That doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate the opportunity to go to the White House and meet the president.

Kid is 8th grade. Do you know how much a kid's interests can change between 8th grade and 10th/11th? Basketball is what he's interested in now, but he may not end up in science or basketball. He might have an interesting teacher or life experience that completely changes his interests .I'm not mad at Obama for encouraging him to stay in school instead of focusing on basketball, but he didn't have to be a prick about it either; probably embarrassed the kid

He is in the 8th grade, so he is old enough to know to respect the fukking most powerful person in the world. Obama went easy on lil dude if you ask me. Save me with all that soft shyt.

Who said he wasn't respecting him? He looked Barack in the eye when Barack was talking to him, he spoke to Barack respectfully, etc. When Barack asked all three of them if they were looking into careers in that field, he was the only kid who answered. He was definitely trying to look cool, but there wasn't anything he did that looked disrespectful to me

That's one thing but at least be respectful to the fukking president and leave then. I didn't see anyone keeping him there in that one spot.

He treated the president of the united states like his assistant principal. Keep in mind this is the president of the U.S.A. He should have been a lot more respectful.

:yeshrug: guess we disagree. I agree that the president should be respected, but I just didn't see the kid as being disrespectful or as lacking respect.

He didn't lie. Wish more parents drilled that into their kids heads.
I went to school and was on the same team with so many guys that were banking on hoop dreams and it never panned out.
You can emphasize the importance of an education while also supporting your kid in athletics.
A lot of parents seem to do either/or for whatever reason.
