Aren't they cute! Remember when your grandma used to give you a quarter when you came to visit? This is just like that, except it's 320,000 quarters, and I'm not giving it to them, it's all coming out of my campaign account.
Up until recently, I was paying them $100,000 a year to work the phones, but my staff got peeved so I had to cut back their allowance a bit. Still, that's more than George W. was making working on his daddy's campaign.
And, these kids are gaining valuable experience, working on a floundering campaign for president. That builds character! Besides, it's better than leaving them at home to play violent video games.
