Learning about politics...

Over the last 5 or 6 weeks, Matthew has received a crash course in politics. It started one night when Barack Obama showed up on our doorstep in a driving snowstorm. Ok, it wasn't a driving snowstorm, that was toilet paper hanging from the trees. We brought that idiot in from the cold and let him attend all of our holiday functions with us. We even took him to the ranch with us.

While he was a guest in our home, Matthew commented on him. He learned to pronounce "Obama", because that's what we called him. Well, that's what we called him in front of Matthew. In adult company he had several other names.

Shortly after New Years, we sent him to an undisclosed location to spend time with another family. Matthew saw him on TV occasionally, and always got really excited "That's Obama, he's the guy that was at our house!!!"

Fast forward to last night. I was giving Matthew a bath. When I had soaped up the wash cloth, I told him to stand up. When he stood up, I kid you not, he popped off with the following: "Ladies & Gentlemen, the President of the Universe, Barack Obama!!!!"

I bathed the inside of his mouth first.

Several of the teachers at his daycare are minorities. Apparently, they watched the big event on the TV the other day. I guess that's fine, I just have to make sure we make like Fox News and present things to him in a "Fair & Balanced" manner
