The First Lady gave a brief speech. That's when Plotkin literally sprung into action. He called across the East Room, "Mrs. Bush, Mrs. Bush"
He caught her attention; she stopped, smiled and listened.
In typical Plotkin style, he blurted out the following question:
"Mrs. Bush, do you agree with those who say and believe that members of the Ballou High School band should not grow up to become members of the House of Representatives?"
About half way through the question, Mrs. Bush realized this was not a friendly softball being lobbed from the peanut gallery, but a real question with an agenda from the press gallery.
Mrs. Bush looked down and walked to her seat without a word. The smile was gone.
At that moment, White House staff formed a human wall between the press and the First Lady and pointed to the door.
