The White House just doesn't have any dignity or respect anymore, because the people who inhabit it are so embarrassingly stupid and incompetent. Everyone is laughing at our country and how easy it is to fool our leaders. Iran is definitely at the front of that line at the moment.
And now we give 14 year olds prizes and money for taking an old clock out of its plastic housing and moving it into a pencil box? When I was a kid, you actually needed to create something incredible, or do something incredible, to get an invite from the president of the United State of America. Teddy Roosevelt didn't extend any invites to me when I strung a twine string between two soup cans, I can tell you that.
Philo Farnsworth didn't get an invite from Woodrow Wilson, even when he developed the groundwork for the modern television. He was only 14 years old at the time! And now we send a kid to Space Camp and MIT because... oh my god I think I need to lay down again.
You know what is really sad.
There probably was a great science project presented that day, but little mr-no-talent sucked all the oxygen out of that room
I don't think that everyone is laughing at our country, though, since MANY Americans get what is going on and are letting our so-called leaders and media know that we get the agenda and we refuse it.

Yes, but those kids you are talking about, weren't part of a special, promoted class.
"Science leaning teens" don't take apart a commercial product, stick it in a briefcase and claim they "built" something. Frauds with an agenda do.
Funny to watch the lies the lefties come up with now that their foolishness and gullibility is being revealed.
The kid is like 8 years old!
EDIT: Wow never mind, just did a little more reading and found he's 14?!?! I had only seen a photo, that kid looks really young for 14, I was already growing a beard by that age, jeeze.

He's only 14 but dear old dad is teaching him the art of scamming, law suits and screaming religious discrimination.
He will make a good little Muslim Activist as years go on.
Did you see where the sister had been suspended a few years ago for making a bomb threat?
They are now wanting to "Home school" the kid since he's so damaged. I can only imagine his education.
He didn't invent nor build anything. He took parts out of something and laid them into a briefcase. A 7 year old could do this. I'm going to take a cellphone apart and put it in a shoebox and claim I created a cellphone and ask all those twits at Google, FB and MIT if I qualify for their circle jerk PC fest.
No 7 year olds don't do this. Most high school students don't do this. Most aspiring engineers, the good ones, often do this. The fun of taking apart electronics and putting it together in new ways.
So they want to reward him for doing something interesting/cool and being punished for that. . .its perfectly within Google, Facebook, Twitters ability to do so - and no doubt benefit due to good press.

Oh please. There's a vast difference in taking something out of its case and sticking it in a box versus actually modifying the circuitry to do different things. The former requires only the use of a screwdriver. You don't have to have any idea how the circuit works. It's barely more advanced than opening the original cardboard box the clock came in and turning it on.
If one were to actually modify the circuitry, that would require an actual understanding of how it works. But he made no changes. He simply took it out of one box and put it into another. That is grade-school stuff, not high school.

But he didn't even take it apart; he just repackaged it.
Are you impressed by this young man's ingenuity?
You think he "did something cool?" That's just embarrassing.

As I have said repeatedly it was not a technically challenging task. He did however take it apart and get it back operating successfully. The proper response to it was to pet his head, tell him that he ought to look into building a clock from components that was a little different and send him on his way.
It did not call to arrest him...which would appear to have some basis in his religion and ethnicity.
No it did not rate a White House visit. No it did not rate an arrest.
