"You're either with us, or you're It," she said at a press conference in the Rose Garden. At that moment, just across the street in Lafeyette Park, District Police arrested 12 youths who were "carrying on in a Tag-like manner" according to witnesses. “The President announced today that America is going to War on Tag. “You’re either with us, or you’re It,” she said at a press conference in the Rose Garden.

The "It" kid will be okay. The game of tag will just move underground; clandestine games played while the teacher isn't watching. Of course, it'll be hugely expensive to play and they'll have to rob and steal to get the money, but the game will go on. Soon they'll have "Tag" addiction recovery centers and there will be a "Just Say No to Tag" campaign promoted by the president's wife...after all, Tag can cause serious injury or even death!

It's dangerous! We think the school should pay. After all, it's rich, and Timmy is hurt." Power to the people!
