Children for… Obama?

Posted by george Subscribe here

A couple of days ago, I had a very… odd… experience.  It was about 8:30 at night and a child, probably about 10 years old, called our home telephone.  The child asked if we supported Obama and then fumbled and bumbled around as there was a pause and then continued asking if I supported McCain and how I felt about these candidates.  

It was an awkward call and I felt very moved by this child’s telephone call.  Albeit, moved in an awkward way. 

Granted, this call is great experience for such a young person.  It teaches them grit and the ability to talk to people which is a sorely needed skill today.  Notwithstanding, I feel that it is wrong to place them in such a position at such a young age where they may receive some very scathing and abrasive remarks.  I feel that their hearts are too tender for such activities.  

I politely explained to the child that I did not support either candidate, Obama nor McCain.  I feel that they are both inappropriate choices and that the only candidate that I did support was Romney as he has integrity and we could trust him unlike other candidates.  We certainly need a political savior and leader at the moment.

So, what do you think?  Seems like a loaded gun to me.
