Oh-oh....
This one was an old joke from the USSR, and it's been updated. I'm smiling, but there's a wince here--just a little too much truth, after how people around the RNC were treated in NYC.

So The President is doing yet another photo op at an elementary school, and this one’s been going pretty well, so he offers to take questions. A little boy raises his hand.
“Okay, you,” says George, smiling. “What’s your name?”
“Billy.”
“Billy. And what’s your question?”
“I have three questions,” Billy says. “First, why did you go to war without
UN approval? Second, why are you president when Gore got more votes? Third,
where’s Osama bin Laden?”
George is taken aback. “Uh, those are really hard questions,” he says.
Just then the bell rings. “Whoops, time for recess!” George says. “Guess
I’ll have to answer your questions when recess is over.”
After recess, when the kids have settled back down again, George says
“Okay, who’s got a question?”
A little kid raises his hand, and George calls on him.
“What’s your name?” George asks.
“Steve.”
“Okay, Steve. What’s your question?”
“I have five questions,” Steve says. “First, why did you go to war without
UN approval? Second, why are you president when Gore got more votes? Third,
where’s Osama bin Laden? Fourth, why did the bell for recess ring twenty
minutes early? And fifth, what happened to Billy?”
