Obama s'excuse auprès d'une professeure d'Histoire de l'art

 Ma petite curiosité de la journée. Après un commentaire dans une usine de General Electric, le Président a reçu un message d'une professeure d'Histoire de l'art de l'Université du Texas. Quelle ne fut pas la surprise d'Ann Collins Johns de recevoir des excuses personnelles de la part du Président, pas un message rédigé par une secrétaire, un mot de la main même d'Obama.

 "“Let me apologize for my off-the-cuff remarks. I was making a point about the jobs market, not the value of art history. As it so happens, art history was one of my favorite subjects in high school, and it has helped me take in a great deal of joy in my life that I might otherwise have missed,” Obama wrote, according to a copy of the letter published on the blog.

 He added, “So please pass on my apology for the glib remark to the entire department, and understand that I was trying to encourage young people who may not be predisposed to a four year college experience to be open to technical training that can lead them to an honorable career.”
