President Obama at Barnard College

"Until there are women who tell her, ignore our pop culture obsession over beauty and fashion — and focus instead on studying and inventing and competing and leading, she’ll think those are the only things that girls are supposed to care about. Now, Michelle will say, nothing wrong with caring about it a little bit. You can be stylish and powerful, too. That’s Michelle’s advice."

President Barack Obama, Barnard College, May 14, 2012

Truly touching speech. Also, when did we last have a president educated enough to use the word "motley" with grace and wit?
