No trick: 2,000 kids knock on White House door - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091101/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obamas_halloween - broken link)
Obama thanked the military members and their families. "We are so grateful to you," he said. "Especially now, a lot of the times, you guys are separated. It's tough. The spouses who are at home are serving just as much as folks who are deployed. So we are just so thrilled that you guys could be here."
President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama on Saturday doled out presidential M&Ms and dried fruit mixes to more than 2,000 trick-or-treaters, marking their Halloween at a White House event partly aimed at honoring military families.
Please don't say anything mean. I think this was cute.

That is a nice gesture. I am sure the kids and families were thrilled. I give them props for that.
I was particularly happy that they used a fabulously creative local theater group for some of the festivities. I know for a fact the people at Redmoon theater were ecstatic for the exposure they got in the national arena.

Funny you guys weren't singing that tune when GWB was in the white house, but I agree. The US public doesn't have all of the facts about the conflict.
