Politics Through the Eyes of a Child

My family talks a lot of politics especially lately. The little ones of course are always listening even when we don't realize it.

A couple of weeks ago, my 3 year old nephew James, was listening to a conversation his aunt was having with someone. They were talking about the current condition of the economy. Lesley said something about whose fault it was and James piped in and said, "Well, it's not MY fault." Lesley, said "No, of course it's not your fault. You weren't even born when those things were decided to cause this. So, if the economy isn't your fault whose fault is it?" James says, "Obama".


5-year old Claire has also been listening to the political conversations going on at her house and she has a prophecy for Americans if Obama is elected:

After a conversation about how getting a job is important to make money to support the family she added her political insight.

Claire: You want to make money, but not too much money, not like 100's....
Lesley: Why not too much?
Claire: Because if you have too much money they might throw you in jail.
Lesley: Why would they throw us in jail?
Claire: Well, not me, but the parents.
Lesley: Why would they throw the parents in jail?
Claire: Because there might be poor people and the police might throw you in jail to take your money to spread it around.

So, if you can't tell who I'll be voting for based off these conversations I'll make it simple...it's McCain without a doubt.
