This aught to rile the troops

Sure, our Commander- in-Chief has suffered knee injuries from his daily jogs and, yes, he also suffered a memorable fall last June when he toppled off his father's Segway motorized scooter in Kennebunkport, Maine. You remember the Segway -- that ridiculous thing billed as an idea sure to revolutionize the world, but was immediately seen by a cynical public as little more than a walker for people too tired to walk. If Segway owners are THAT tired, they probably shouldn't be going anywhere. Instead, they should take a nap, pop a vitamin or two, and then – when they're revitalized -- simply WALK where they need to go. THAT is the idea that will revolutionize the world, but I digress.

“Who goes out and says, ‘You have a better probability of winning the state lottery than making a nickel in professional sports. And by the way, last year two million exciting technical jobs went unfilled in this country because you weren't there to take that job. And it pays you 10 times as much as flipping burgers, and it's fun and it's exciting and you get to create things and build things and help make the world a better place and help make yourself a better living.’ Who tells them this?”
