As the Boulder Daily Camera reported Saturday:

Students at Westlake Middle School showed they were tuned in to this summer’s roiling political debate when U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet visited their school on Friday.

The Democrat spent more than a half-hour fielding questions from about 30 eighth-grade honors students in the school library.

Health care was the No. 1 topic, just as it has been at political rallies and town hall meetings across the country this summer.

Chris Renden, who listens to Rush Limbaugh with his dad, was the first student to ask Bennet a question.

“Do you think that Obama is attempting to start a socialist revolution?” he asked.

Bennet answered “no,” before asking Renden what led him to ask the question.

“Once the government gets control of health care, they get control of everything,” Renden said.

Our usual snark is either inappropriate or inadequate, we haven’t really decided yet.
