Rather than challenge President Obama's birth origins, folks might want to rank his ACE score. Totally absent father, mother drops him off for years with white grandparents in a city where black children are a distinct minority, mother remarries and has another child whose father is yet a different nationality, and he's sent to a high school for wealthy, privileged kids in Honolulu. Maybe an earlier president -- Bill Clinton -- who also was raised by grandparents after his mother returned to school and left him with her folks had a higher ACE score than Obama because of his mother remarrying a violent alcoholic. Yet both men became President of the U.S.
Makes one wonder about the potential for transforming the lives of children with high ACEs into fulfilling careers.
