    Obama would be proud of these teens. I'm sure somebody is going to allege that the driver is a racist. Sad.

    Gee, I say the usual " boy, I'm sure his parents are proud", but unfortunately it's probably true. Kids with decent parents don't do these things. Shame on them and their useless spawn.
