I'm sorry but in this case I would have to side with the Congressperson.
All the punk had to do was identify himself by answering the question.
A simple "I am a constituent of your congressional district" would have sufficed.

If you go up to people and shoving an object in their face it is an invasion of personal space. It is also unlawful to record audio of someone who does not give consent. I will say it again. Those kids were not media. They ambushed him.
It has nothing to do with Politician's or Men in Charge. I could walk up to you on the street, start recording you and say stuff. I could then go home and edit that material to demonize you and post it online. What i am saying is that not everything you see can be taken at face value. If anyone on that clip had an agenda it was the kids. Be wary of what you watch, just because he was an "evil" politician does not mean those kids were innocent in any way shape or form.

Ive seen the video, and heard the statements of others, and the only thing that I have yet to hear is.. the Congressman looked TERRIFIED! Like he wasn't in his right mind, like there was a possibility that due to things being different as far as most politicians these days getting on youtube, he was scared to be the next person who get's "caught up" and while doing that did the exact opposite.
For example, ever see a movie of a guy in the mob "terrified" of his boss, and then every stranger in the street scares him, just in case its a set up. Like there's a price on your head if you speak to free media, and expose your "true" feeling about anything concerning the White House or the current administration.
The world is waking up, and I can say this for certain, he DID NOT want to be the one to let the cat out of the bag!!!

Somebody should "iReport" this to CNN. If CNN won't take it, FOX News definately will.

The kids refused for some strange reason. They even clouded out their faces. With so much innocence and nothing to hide, they sure made an effort to do a lot of hiding.
