My wish for Obama

My high school French teacher, Mrs. Demico, had this bit of wisdom she'd always say. (And make us repeat in French - but don't make me do that!)

It went like this:

He who knows not and knows not that he knows not -- he is a fool, shun him.

He who knows not and knows that he knows not -- he is simple, teach him.

He who knows and knows not that he knows -- he is sleeping, wake him.

He who knows and knows that he knows -- he is wise, follow him.

I hope President Obama remembers to take care of the simple and the sleeping, leaves the wise to their own devices, and pays the fools so little mind that they drown in their own ignorance.
