What analytical skill were being displayed in the least in the OP?
There's nothing analytical here to discuss. At all.
It's merely more "Obama is a black Nazi trying to burn down America by mind-melding with our children and making us all have gay sex and abort the babies as he takes our guns and turn us all into brownshirted Socialists."
Is there a policy being discussed or criticized here? Nope.
What are we to take away from this?
That if young black kids are devoting themselves to academics by meeting the president's challenge, it's a "cult of personality"?
What is the people who name EVERYTHING, including their dogs poops, for Ronald Reagan? What about the people who complain about how HIGH their taxes are right now, when they're lower than they were during most of Reagan's term? Or those that complain about amnesty for illegals when the first president to do it was their beloved Ronald Reagan?
Let's analyze that cult of personality, shall we?
Or can we recognize that every president ends up developing a bit of a cult of personality because it's the nature of the office in the media age? Indeed, I would question one who doesn't - because it means they're completely ineffective in developing support from their followers.
But, instead we can just sit around and pretend that the other side is worse because it suits our partisan needs.
Or maybe people are concerned that schools are teaching kids in an un-objective manner. Tell me, since when has "I am a <insert president name> scholar" formed a necessary part of a child's curriculum?
