Read the quotation from President Barack Obama."So the fact is this: The opportunity gap in America is now as much about class as it is about race, and the gap is growing.So if we’re going to take on growing inequality and try to improve upward mobility for all people, we’ve got to move beyond the false notion that this is an issue exclusively of minority concern. And we have to reject a politics that suggests any effort to address it in a meaningful way somehow pits the interests of a deserving middle class against those of an undeserving poor in search of handouts.”—President Barack Obama, December 4, 2013
