What does the excuses speech say?

Perhaps you are referring to the "no excuses" speech President Obama gave to the NAACP in July 2009. Described by the media as a "fiery sermon," Mr. Obama used the opportunity to encourage black parents to stop making excuses for their kids' bad behavior, and to expect (even demand) excellence from them instead. Speaking to young people, who might one day want to be leaders or even try for the presidency, he challenged them to aim higher. "No one has written your destiny for you... Your destiny is in your hands, and don't you forget that. That's what we have to teach all of our children! No excuses! No excuses!"
