Honestly, this read more like a PR piece. "Look at how much I care about these people!" "Man, I'd love to fix this broken system if only they would let me!" It's just a puff-piece, nothing more.
Disregard me. I didn't realize that he actually put it in place. I take back everything I said. Obama actually comes out looking good, and I'm an asshat
If you believe a man should be judged by his actions, not his words, that pendulum swings both ways.
Dismiss this piece for being only talk, no walk: sure. But don't dismiss it because "it's for the wrong reasons." Who cares? If he does it, he does it! Win for society.
And if he comes out looking better in the process? Win for everyone.
I'm not saying you're wrong; I just don't think it's a bad thing.
(Maybe I read too much into your comment and neither did you… That joke would be entirely on me, then :) )
