Out of the Mouths of Babes

Last night I asked Josiah who he wanted to become president. He knows the names of both candidates, but Alex and I haven't talked too much with him about political issues. His answer was, "Which one is the one who wouldn't tell secrets about his friends?" (referring to McCain's refusing the opportunity to be released from the POW camp). Alex answered John McCain. Josiah then stated matter of factly, "Him, then. I want him." He then asked Alex and I who we "liked better" and we both answered McCain. Josiah looked somewhat confused as he asked, "Then why is Barak Obama always on the stage on TV?" I thought this was quite insightful especially coming from a 7 year old. Take what you will....:)
