Sure Barack was a nice fellow,

Would "certainly" instead of "sure" have worked better for you?

Sheesh.

Actually, the antidote would have been a comma.

A simple comma after sure, to indicate a pause.

Isn't it obvious? Don't you expect at least correct grammar from your kid's curriculum?

Sheesh.

It would have been grammatically correct to say "Surely..." But why should we expect correct grammar? It's just a textbook after all.
