Raising 'em right!

So I am watching MSNBC on my netbook. And My 7 year old ask, "Why are you watching Mitt Romney"

I said,"I am watching them talk about Mitt Romney"

I said " who do you like Mitt Romney or Barack Obama?"

He said, "Barack Obama duh, he's Our President! actually he is more like our King."


I never taught him that LOL

when I try to explain about republicans wanting to cut social security, which results in elderly folks having in some cases no money, she will say things like "But where will they live? How will they buy food?". Where and how indeed? Romney/Ryan can talk in circles all they want about "victims" and "entitlement" but these are the basic questions and their answers are simply not acceptable.
