Plain Talk: Kids will never forget Obama visit

Plain Talk: Kids will never forget Obama visit:

"Some random musings about the president's visit to Madison this week:

Over the years, I've attended several events where presidents of the United States have spoken, most of them at American Society of Newspaper Editors' conventions.

Truth be told, the students at Wright Middle School, who were herded into the gym an hour and a half before Barack Obama arrived, showed more patience than those roomfuls of newspaper editors. The kids, mostly 12, 13 and 14 years old, sat on the pulled-out bleachers along one side of the gym and quietly talked among themselves while waiting for the president to show."
