No Másk Eleven-year-old Dru Lechert-Kelly of Portland, Ore., is an admirer of Barack Obama: "He said he would try to change the world and make the economy better," the boy explains the Oregonian. "Also because somebody told me he has a Wii all hooked up to a huge flatscreen in the White House. That's cool."Dru, a fifth-grader at Llewellyn Elementary, wanted to pay tribute to the president in his school talent show. At a rehearsal Tuesday, the Oregonian reports, "he wore a navy blue suit, white shirt, red tie, black shoes and an Obama mask purchased at a costume shop. The choreographed routine ended with Dru on the floor in the splits":After Thursday's performance, the "crowd went wild," Dru said. But so did some of the adults in the audience."I talked to the parents who are coordinating the talent show, and they feel it's inappropriate and potentially offensive," Llewellyn Principal Steve Powell said.When asked what was offensive about Dru's skit, Powell refused to discuss it."I won't say why it's inappropriate," he said. "I'm not saying anything to The Oregonian. Why? Because I don't want to."
