They Say Obama Attracted the Younger Voters
That was certainly true in our house. For some reason, Ben is infatuated with Obama. I know, we live on an extremely liberal Island in a liberal state, so I guess I can't be too surprised. On Halloween, one lady whose house we trick-or-treated at asked the kids, "If you could vote, who would you vote for?" Kylie and Jillian, noticing the Obama sign in the yard, mumbled something incomprensible, but Ben shouted out "OBAMA!" The lady gave him a high-five and an extra handful of candy. I asked him later why he would vote for Obama and he said, "Because John McCain wants to close down kids' schools." That was actually from an ad by Christine Gregoire against Dino Rossi in the Washington state governor's race, but same difference, right? I asked where he heard that and he said, "On TV." Hmmm...maybe we need to pull the plug!

We have a similar situation going on in our home. It's just so fashionable to be a democrat!
ReplyDeleteI think it's just more fun for a kid to say "Barako Bama!" :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad we can't base our votes on whose name is funnest to say, 'cuz then DINO ROSSI would definitely be our new governor.
I'll agree with Brooke... Finn admitted that he was for Obama because he liked saying it.
ReplyDeleteI think the real reason the kids are attracted to Obama is because they can relate to him. It's great to have a president that kids can look up to and be proud of. I'm so excited to have Hyrum remember his first president as being someone who represents the American Dream and showing him that anything is possible. For all of the non-supporters out there I say, let's just see what happens in 4 years. It's too soon to be passing so much judgement.
