“Hey, Steven, do you like Obama?” he asked me.

“I dunno. I’ve never met him. Why?” I responded in my signature blend of wit and charm.

“Well, we watched a video in school about him. Did you know that he’s the Anti-Christ?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=newexponent.org&#038;blog=7580025&#038;post=437&#038;subd=thenewexponent&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
