Ignorant teenager harassed my wife about "Obama phones" today.

[bbernardini]

While waiting in line to pick up our son at school, some idiot teenager from the car behind her came up to my wife's car and asked her if she had gotten her "Obama phone" yet. (We both have Obama 2012 magnets on our cars.) She's assuming the kid's mom put him up to it.

Mind you, my dear wife had to look up what he was talking about, because she watches and reads real news, not Fox.
