Obama's candid moment with a student

I've been vegging out today watching news and caught on CNN a story where Obama answered a student's question so candidly, mentioning how although his father was a smart man that he was also arrogant and argumentative, and if he had stayed around they probably would have been arguing a lot. The student, also the child of a single parent, told CNN how responsible it made him feel.

Obama is probably more like Honest Abe than any President since Lincoln. Which is probably why a school district in Texas barred students from hearing Obama and instead will bus them to hear former President Bush speak.
