Obama's form letter to Syracuse kids leads to disappointment.

Watch the whole thing for these insightful observations from third graders:

"I was disappointed because I think, like, his office could have did better," and, "It's kind of like he's paying people to be rude to people in his own country."

I feel you, kids. I feel you. (They have a natural flair for messaging, don't they?)
