    Both my wife are die-hard Obama supporters. Everything that is discussed in my home regarding the Prez is always positive and supportive of his politics. My son Thomas is 9-year old son and has Down Syndrome. He has a very limited vocabulary and its very rare when he uses whole sentences. So this morning I turned on the TV for the inauguration and excitedly holler at my son, "Hey, come over here and watch this, Obama is getting sworn in !!!!!"

    So Thomas runs into the room and says: "What the heck?? ...NOT AGAIN !!?? " #-o

    My two year old says "naughty" when she sees him on TV. I wonder where she got that from. I never use THAT word to describe him. :)

    Love it.. I won't even consider interjecting my opinion of Obama into this.. it won't end well at all..

    The political views of the general public are WAY too emotional and WAY too narrow minded, and the frustration level I get is not worth it.. suffices to say I have ZERO use for Obama or anything he is behind but I will say your child is headed in the right direction.. that's one smart kid :)

    I think your kid's politics suck. But I like yours just fine.

    My 13 year old joined the Conservative Republicans of California when Obama got re-elected. I never even heard of them before he did.

    But Daddy is very proud of his son!

    so funny moving from LA to irvine. I was actually shocked to see pro republican adds and anti democrat ones. Good for your kids being politicaly aware at such a young age. The true conservatie test, turn on rush limbo, and if your kid starts cheering hes a republican.

    So much awesome potential for inappropriate punchlines in one thread. The mind boggles.

    If this was a trap, it was an effective one.

    Out of the mouth of babes. It always amazes me what they are actually taking in and recording in their minds. Every once in a while a zinger comes out. Thanks for sharing.

    My son noted that the sun was down and it was only 5:30. Followed by "That damm Obama".
