Thousands of kids detailed their hopes and expectations for President Obama in letters and drawings as part of a worldwide project.

AP Sunday, February 15, 2009

NEW YORK -- End war, forever. Make the planet greener. Please help my dad find work. Make it rain candy!

Thousands of kids detailed their hopes and expectations for President Barack Obama in letters and drawings as part of a worldwide project, with 150 chosen for a free e-book being released on Presidents Day.

Most had tall orders for the new guy in the White House.

Anthony Pape, 10, of Du Bois, Pa., offered: "I hope that we will have no war ever again. I mean why are we fighting why can't we all be friends."

Fellow 10-year-old Sasha Townsend of Soquel, Calif., had a similar request, and then some.

I have a hope for Zero too. I hope he gets his head out of his @$$, but I’m not holding my breath until he does.

“End war, forever. Make the planet greener. Please help my dad find work. Make it rain candy!”

It’s hard to believe these words were uttered by grade school kids. They talk just like our college students!

My kids would be asking him not to get rid of missile defense or nuclear weapons. They would ask him to get rid of illegal immigrants. They would ask him to stop abortions and to keep marriage between a man a woman.

My kids are conservative!!!!!!!

.......deja vu all over again,
Didn't we see another “president” have kids gather all around him? He patted them on the head, such a fatherly figure as the world watched.

Best post of the day! BHO is the product of a generation change in our educational system. It s the school of indoctrination for future Hussein voters. The GOP have been completely asleep at the switch for not challenging this.

Dear Barry “The Muslim Mole” Soetero:

I hope someone with guts leaks your birth certificate, resulting in you being keel hauled on a battleship, tarred and feathered, and then run out of the country on a rail.

Yours sincerely,

Little Johnny MarineBrat

Make sure they don’t attend public schools. They will be indoctrinated with your tax dollars to turn against all things and people conservative and religious.

With the majority of congress being a democrat majority, I can’t see this happening.

He's already qualified to be part of the Obama Administration.

I guess after an suicide bomb performed by one of the “purveyors of peace” who was release from Gitmo kills Johnny in the shopping mall while in line for a Starbucks, he may understand why we have to fight to survive.

Because child, there are things worse than war. The idealists or dupes of the Left will never understand this.

Yep, little Anthony, it’s good to dream of world peace. But there are bad people in the world. And some of those bad guys started a war with us. They started it, we didn’t. We are not wrong for defending ourselves.

This is what happens when you remove the Bible from the classroom. You could just quote Go's Word and tell him there will be wars and rumors of wars till Jesus comes. It always fascinates me when America sends envoys to the ME for peace talks. If they were real Christians they would save the time and money and quit pretending the ME will EVER be peaceful until Jesus fixes the problem.

Well you can keep trying, but it just shows unbelief. Isn't it strange that the writers of the Bible knew a little strip of land in the ME would be the stumbling block for the world thousands of years ago? Why not Panama, Madagascar, or India? It had to be Israel. It is Israel. It will be Israel. It will be Jerusalem. It will be the Mt of Olives. To pretend a man will bring peace, is anti Christ.

How damaged are these children going to be when they find Obama can't make it rain candy, get their father a job, or stop wars? It is irresponsible to promote these myths in the classroom. The teachers should be removed. Did the teachers teach that Bush stopped the candy from raining?

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone sat these tykes down with the Constitution, and acquainted them with the actual powers, and NON-powers, of the President, Congress, and Supreme Court.

Do you realize that a 9-year-old has possibly NEVER seen video of 9/11? Or even been told anything about what happened that day—let alone who caused it.

The most salutary, productive, patriotic thing that Americans could possibly do to forestall the destruction of the United States would be to gather in large groups, with accelerants and matches, go to their local government schools, and...I will stop here so that this comment won’t get pulled.

Actually, public school drove them to their conservative views. My son was in public school for 6 years, and now he is in a private Christian high school. I didn’t realize how much he hated the public school until this year.

My daughters left public school after 3rd grade. I knew how much they hated it.

In public school, my son had to write an essay about whether or not everyone should go to college. I had never talked to him about the subject, so it was all his own opinion. It was the most conservative viewpoint. He said that some kids don’t deserve to go to college because they don’t even try to get good grades. Basically, only kids who work for college should get to go. I need to go find his essay because it was great.
