Did President Obama Infringe on 1995 Microsoft Patent for Teaching Kids to Code?

Is this one of those artificial outrage things?

The patent says that one of the requirements for the patent is:

> (d) mode selection means for enabling the user to select a mode from among a plurality of different modes, one of said plurality of different modes displaying at least a portion of a textual computer program listing corresponding to a portion of the graphical program, a plain text mode enabling the user to enter text that is translated to program commands in the textual computer program listing for modifying the graphical program, said textual computer program listing assisting the user to learn computer programming by exposing the user to the program commands of the text-based programming language that correspond to the graphic program steps of the graphical program.

and in further detail:

> The plurality of modes selectable by the user include a plain text mode enabling the user to enter text that is translated to corresponding commands in the text-based programming language for modifying the graphical program. The plain text entered by the user is constrained to text that correctly translates to the commands in the text-based programming language. Preferably, the plain text that can be entered by the user is limited to a predefined set of programming language constructs that are presented to the user as keys on a graphical keyboard displayed on the display screen, for selection and use in designing and modifying the graphical program.

I don't see this sort of plain text entry option in Blockly.
