TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Who knew Secret Service agents were so handy for parents of elementary school kids?
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, taking questions from an Indiana crowd Saturday, called on a fifth-grade teacher.
Noting that his 10-year-old daughter, Malia, is starting the fifth grade, he asked: “Any tips? What should I be waiting around for?”
Someone called out, “boys.”
“What!” Obama exclaimed in mock horror, as the audience laughed. “Hold on a sec. Maybe that home-schooling is all right. One reason I have to win here is so that I’ve got Secret Service around my girls at all times. They carry guns.”
Malia might not be getting any play dates soon.
