Obama invites student arrested over homemade clock to the White House

President Obama wants Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old who was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school, to bring his creation to the White House. Obama tweeted out support for Mohamed this morning, saying that America ought to be encouraging students to get into science and engineering — presumably, rather than arresting them. "Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House?" he said. "We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great."
