Yes, I am taking 9-year-olds into federal custody

So I'm in a fourth-grade social-studies class today, interviewing kids as they type letters to send to Obama. They're writing benign things like how they hope Obama will encourage people to recycle, fix the economy, support our troops.

One girl talks about how she hopes Obama won't pull the troops from Iraq until the mission has been accomplished.

Me: Who did you vote for in your class' mock election? Did you vote for McCain?
Girl: *shifts in her seat*stammers* Are you Barack Obama's security person?
