This from a post in USAToday entitled What if President Obama comes over like Mr. Rogers. (It’s the last few lines that I am quoting here.):

So originally, my $600 economic relief check was going to be direct deposited on May 1. Then President Bush said that it would be a week sooner. Thanks to my SSN I am in the first batch of people to receive the refund. So tonight I went shopping, and bought a year’s worth of groceries. [...]

Did you hear about this? Two high school students found out that Barack Obama was going to be at a diner across the street from their high school so they ran out to try and meet him, ask him some questions. What do they get for their efforts?
