It was one of those moments that make life on the road a little more interesting.
During a town hall meeting on jobs at the Lehigh Carbon Community College in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, President Barack Obama called first on a very eager young man who said he was a second year student.
He wanted to know if the president had thought about legalizing prostitution and drugs as a way of stimulating the economy. (His parents must be so proud.)
"I appreciate the boldness of your question," Obama responded as the audience laughed.
"That will NOT be my job strategy."
But just so the audience didn't turn on the young man, Obama gave his question the approval of a former professor.
"Part of what you're supposed to do in college is question conventional wisdom," he said.
"You're doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing."
