Peterson Politics


Barack Obama has become a bad word in our house! The girls hate him...Wynnie is by far the most animated about it! Whenever she hears his name she scrunches up her face (If your a Toy Story fan: she puts on her angry eyes) and then she says "No more Barack Obama in this house!" I don't know what she will do if he wins the election! We will have to have a quick lesson on respect...we can not like the man but we can respect him as our President---hopefully (fingers crossed) we won't have to...I mean, I guess it's always a good idea to give your kids a lesson on respect (there doesn't seem to be enough of it in the world) but hopefully he won't win! I do know where she is coming from though...Jeremy LOVES to listen to talk radio. So much so that if the radio is on a different station and he comes into the room he will change it to talk radio...it doesn't matter who is listening to what...the radio will be changed...it doesn't matter if he is just passing through the kitchen on his way to his office...he will change the station! And talk radio LOVES to talk about Barack Obama! We hear his name at least a thousand times a day...it gets a little (A LOT) tiring! So I understand where the girls are coming from. The other day we were at the store and Hannah picked up Barack Obama's book.




Hannah: Look mom it's Barack Obama! We need to get this book for dad!


Me (a little surprised): Really...


Hannah: Yeah we need to get it for dad so we can stop listening about him on the radio!


Me: You're right, although I don't think your dad would appreciate it
