Is this what they call brain-drain? What will our nation do without this young man’s unparallelled genius?

Blake Neff has the deets on this tragic loss for America:

His family made the announcement Tuesday, just one day after his much-anticipated meeting with President Barack Obama.

“After careful consideration of all the generous offers received, we would like to announce that we have accepted a kind offer from Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) for Ahmed to join the prestigious QF Young Innovators Program, which reflects the organization’s on-going dedication to empowering young people and fostering a culture of innovation and creativity,” the family said in a statement. Ahmed will receive a full-tuition scholarship to attend school in Qatar. His parents and two sisters will be moving as well.

Was it something Obama said?

Well, our loss is Qatar’s gain. The world needs to cultivate bright young people who are clever enough to do this:

Congrats, young Ahmed. There’s just one thing left to say:

As for all the rubes who got played by this kid’s loony dad? Keep up the good work. You’re the real geniuses here.

Update: Remember, Ahmed and his whole family are leaving America because he’s been “severely traumatized.”

Update: We need a 28th Amendment to outlaw criticism of Clock Kid.
