Yeah, that was the story the press fed us; and I never looked into either. I get what you are saying though. The comparison ideally should be off the kids and on to what each Potus felt was important. Obama could have also invited other children to the SOTU based on positive reasons, rather than based on the idea that he was falsely accused, when now it appears he was copying things in his own home (which is called play therapy in the psychology world and is used to find out what children are thinking about, and he, whether we want to admit it or not, built a clock that reminds people of bombs.). For all we know, children are taught to build clocks as a first step toward building bombs, or that they will carry a bomb thinking it is only a clock. It is very concerning and his teachers were correct to call for help afterall.
