Even a 12-year-old knows baloney when he hears it.
When this man doesn't have his teleprompter, he really is at a complete and utter loss what to say, and just rambles on until a child has to finally step in and tell him to JUST STOP.
I really wish our mainstream "professional" journalists in this country would have the same skillset as this kid. Is that too much to ask for?

Obama probably asked the kids for their opinions because he is clueless and rambled on when there was limited participation from the audience.
The young journalist saw Obama stealing the spotlight and took control of the situation .
Was that a young Pat from SNL fame asking that tough question?...
I remember back in the early '70s when pretty much everyone, even Republicans, loathed Richard Nixon. He was running for re-election, and was coming to Cleveland near where I was in high school. Our marching band was chosen to play alongside the route of his motorcade.
Now, keep in mind that every soul in that high school was deeply involved in the anti-war movement. And note also that our band director was a notorious rebel who hated authority to begin with.
He promised to fail us all if we didn't show proper respect to the POTUS because the office deserved it.
AND we did.
Too bad the standards of behavior have fallen so far since then ... on the right.

Another hypocritical liberal who completely ignores how the left treated Bush for 8 years.
And you know damn well you and the rest of those kids didn't show proper respect because of the office, it was from the threat of being flunked - because that actually ment something in the 70's.
