The ad shows a lot of youthful energy, hope, and diversity. This should drive the GOP [Grand Old Party] with their white protestant beer bellies filled with greed and middle-class disdain to their corporate board rooms to re-group.

Obama is a radical terrorist who refuses to wear an American flag on his suit lapel and he associates with,…with,…a, with known communist UAW autoworkers. We have pictures!

When Obama was 2 years old, his grandmother took him to a parade in Kansas where he asociated with Charles Manson who participated in a marching band… at that same parade!

I’m reading a two volume biography of Abraham Lincoln right now, and the contrast between the weighty politics of his day and the infantile tripe which passes for politics today couldn’t be better illustrated by this video. Absolutely sickening.

What made you sick Nick? The Hispanics or the Blacks? Maybe you spotted a gay?

Wrong-o, Garrison! I have no problems with minorities or gays. I live in a racially diverse community right now - not because I can’t afford to live in an all white area, but by choice. And I used to live in the CWE. So there!

And, by the way, I was OPPOSED to the constitutional amendment prohibiting gay marriage. At the time, I was co-hosting an afternoon drive talk show, and it was one of the few issues on which my liberal co-host and I were in complete agreement. My views on this issue are nuanced and beyond the scope of this thread, so I won’t get into them … but I bring it up to demonstrate that you couldn’t be more wrong about your assertion.

Lighten up, Nick. This wasn’t meant to be some major, heavy political statement! In fact, it’s a wonderful way to introduce kids to politics and I wish my parents had done it this way. Instead, I listened to my family arguing bitterly for years on end - not a good way to learn. Perhaps if one side of my family had taken my to their political headquarters for a day and people enjoyed themselves and then someone else from my family had taken me to the other candidate’s headquarters another day, I would have learned a lot more about the full gamut of politics instead of being overwhelmed and frightened by the fighting when I was young! Children don’t need to learn the “deep meanings” and supposed ramifications of political agendas when they’re in grade school or younger! But introducing them to the fact that people are running for president of the United States at this age is always good, even if it’s surrounding by singing songs! Understand??

My son is 12, and he knows more about politics than most people. And my daughter, who is 9, doesn’t need to sing some silly song to know who is running for President.

When I was a child, I was much the same. My parents didn’t argue about politics with each other - they argued with me! If you’re old enough to remember, I was Alex Keaton.
