President's “My Sons” Reference Explained

President Obama's campaign speech defending his healthcare policy on the grounds that “my daughters should have the same economic opportunities as my sons” has puzzled observers. Only two daughters (Malia and Sasha) have been explicitly acknowledged by the President.

Press Secretary Jay Carney explained that while “it is obvious that the President and First Lady have only the two daughters currently living with them in the White House, critics shouldn't be jumping to the conclusion that he misspoke. Statistics show that the average urban Black male fathers 3.2 children out-of-wedlock. Earlier in his life, the President was a member of this demographic. Given the roughly 50% chance that a child could be male, that would work out to 1.6 male offspring per urban Black male. So, statistically speaking, the President's desire that his daughters enjoy the same rights as his sons is probably accurate.” HUH????
