The commenter concluded by expressing support for the president’s approach and saying the community must do more for children: “We owe we owe our kids a lot more than that, and I'm so thankful we have a president who gets the vision, and we're gonna make sure our kids again, ignorant freak, can never be with Thomas Jefferson.
