The original post and the news it linked is missing the point completely.
This story is not about invention or a genius-boy coming up with a new clock. This is about racism, bias, deep rooted fear of the ones who don't look like you and common sense in general.
As far as Obama's tweet, it is about encouraging scientific minds. I don't think anybody said this boy invented a new clock all by himself - Obama wanted to encourage the participation of kids in the field of science, hence the tweet. He is not recommending a Nobel prize for the kid for inventing a new kind of clock.
