Obama then turned to his wife and suggested they go visit the kids. Secret
Service agents, looking surprised, disappeared inside the building to
accommodate his request.

He had better get with the plan. Osama would like to take a shot at him I
am sure. If for nothing else, Osama is a Muslim sinner, having "crossed
over" to Christianity. And being the president...a target for any nut case
out there.

Minutes later, hundreds of children were brought down to the school
auditorium, and Obama loped onstage as they screamed and cheered.

"I just wanted to come by and wish everybody a happy Thanksgiving," he
said. He then asked the children what they would be eating for
Thanksgiving dinner.

Turkey? Stuffing? Green beans? Sweet potato pie?

Perhaps it was a hint at the planned menu for the Obamas, who are planning
to host a holiday gathering at their Hyde Park home.

The president-elect then took questions from the children, one of whom
wanted to know what it was like to be followed around all the time. It is
a topic that seems to touch a nerve in Obama, who has lamented the lack of
privacy that comes with his new job.

"I gotta admit, sometimes it's kinda strange ... you just want to go take
a walk or go out and ride your bike or something, and you always have
someone with you," Obama said. "So you don't have a lot of privacy and
that's one of the things you have to sacrifice in order to run for
president."
