Obama's Government by and for the 10-year olds
Examiner.com ^ | 2-17-09 | Phoenix Conservative

Posted on 02/17/2009 11:57:47 AM PST by Scott Martin

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 inclusion in a free e-book (entitled Dear Mr. President) released on Presidents Day.

The little deadbeat authors, most of whom apparently need extensive help providing for their own day-to-day needs, echoed perfectly the sentiments of both President Obama and his supporters during the campaign

.

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."

That brings to mind Obama and Hillary Clinton's back-and-forth during their debate last February, when Obama was asked about having promised to meet with Castro, Chavez and Amadinejad without preconditions. If I recall correctly, it went like this:

Obama: I'll talk to anyone, except that Sean Hannity guy - he scares the bejeezers out of me. I mean why are we fighting; why can't we all be friends?

Hillary: Why am I debating the 10-year old with the big ears?

This is the irony, Bush sounded like an idiot but was really intelligent. Bambi sounds like a genius but is really a moron. Which do you prefer? Which one do you think would get further in the World Series of Poker?

I can excuse the kids. . .they don’t know any better. What’s sad is their so-called ‘parents’ aren’t teaching them any personal responsibililty or how to have a grasp on reality. (Actually, I doubt their parents are teaching them much of anything.)

Since the serpent beguiled Eve in the Garden, there's always been a segment that favors style over substance. The Democratic Party is their natural home.

Stalin used to do this sort of thing all the time too. I think Saddam Hussein (who idolized Stalin) as well.
