Prez Obama's Perfect Response

Ahmed Mohamed, a ninth-grader in Irving, Texas, is a boy genius. He built a simple electronic clock for his school project, only that his English teacher mistook it for a bomb and got him arrested. "I built a clock to impress my teacher but when I showed it to her she thought it was a threat to her. I'm very sad that she got the wrong impression of it," said Ahmed addressing reporters after he was released without any charge. While the incident is a stark reminder of anti-Muslim bigotry, here's President Obama's perfect response:

Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great.
