Here's one way to get a presidential candidate to change his mind: If you're a 5-year-old, shed a few tears.
That's how Hadassah Jones, of Durham, got Barack Hussein Obama to answer questions Thursday after the campaign initially denied such requests from reporters.
Crouching to the ground after a rally with 4,000 supporters, Obama briefly outlined for Hadassah his plan to provide health insurance for everyone and to improve schools. He also suggested to the first-grader that wealthier people should help those who are less fortunate.
"We've got to make sure that people who have more money help the people who have less money," Obama said. "If you had a whole pizza, and your friend had no pizza, would you give him a slice?"
Hadassah, a correspondent for brandnewz.com, said after the interview that Obama "had great answers. And I had a great time meeting him." [AP]

Socialism does appeal to the juvenile mind.
Hey, Barack. It would be nice if I gave some beggar a dollar.
But if I choose not to do so and you confiscate my dollar using government power, that is not nice. That is theft.
