The Resume

    Born in Pennsylvania
    Resided in Edwardsville, Pennsylvania
    Student at Pringle Street Elementary School in Kingston, Pennsylvania
    Received media attention after meeting Barack Obama and asking him a question (April 1, 2008)

Why he might be annoying:

    He often shared with classmates his high admiration for gangsters and his desire to be one someday.
    His gangster obsession and imitations concerned his teachers and family.
    He had to miss school in order to attend Obama's campaign rally.
    He drew Obama's attention to him during the rally by frequently jumping and waving his arms.
    He seemed indifferent and easily distracted during his Fox News interview, yet he wanted to be a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His grandmother convinced him that Obama was a good role model who made more money than a gangster.
    He became so impressed with Obama that he convinced his grandmother to let him attend the rally in Wilkes-Barre with her.
    After asking Obama how to become a U.S. President, Obama advised him to respect his grandmother, complete his education, have a career that serves needy people, and work hard.
    During the rally, he gave Obama a picture of himself and a sign that said 'Obama rocks!!!!'.
    His encounter with the presidential candidate made him a media and school celebrity.
    His attitude and behavior improved after learning about Obama, and he desired to become President instead of a gangster.
    His situation was used as an example of Obama's positive influence on children as well as adults.
