If President Obama had been involved in an incident of this nature while in high school, everyone at Fox News would need smelling salts.

Not sure how much relevance this really has as it was many years ago. I agree with you janmcn about Fox News. They'd have this on 24/7. Character is important but so is forgiving mistakes people have made when very young. That's why they seal juvenile records because teens can grow up to be good citizens.
