Gasp... my 1 year old just saw a picture of Barak and said, "Obama"

[Clark2008]

:faint:

[StarryNite]

1. Awesome!

Smart kid!

[Lucky 13]

2. Wunderkind!!!!!

That's one smart baby!!!

[Clark2008]

6. Hey... it was that picture, too!

That's the picture I was looking at.

Oh - and I don't suspect "Obama" is hard for a baby to say, really. She says baba and mama.

[BlooInBloo]

3. HAHAHAHA!!!! Awesome!

[DAGDA56]

4. Be sure to encourage that good behavior!

[polichick]

5. That's right - start 'em young and we'll never get into such a mess again! :)

[NatBurner]

7. that's good juju!

(s)he's gonna be a genius!

[monmouth]

8. I knew your child must be brilliant, but that is adorable. Future Dem ....n/t

[think4yourself]

9. Love It!

[bdamomma]

10. out of the mouth of babes!!!!

that is very smart 1 year old.

[Cronus Protagonist]

11. Right, it was probably an attempt at "mama"

Seriously. :P

[Clark2008]

13. No... she says "Yo Mama"

LOL... she really does.

I think her older brother has been practicing with her. He likes Obama.

12. My son is almost 3, and he watched in awe on Tuesday night

I was a proud poppa in every respect and equally proud of my nation & my candidate.

My son asked questions like "what is he doing?", "who is he?" among others and I explained in as plain terms as I could muster what was going on but tried to give him a sense of how momentous this is and how important it is. He went with me in the primaries to vote and still remembers it to this day, pointing out our polling place and saying "I voted for 'bama"

[Clark2008]

17. We're in Tennessee, too

We live in the one oasis of liberal ground (North Knoxville) in an otherwise red sea of ignorance around here.

[TornadoTN]

18. Tri-Cities here

It's getting better though, not nearly as many flagrant conservatives nowadays and some very good, sustainable growth in the liberal grassroots. I honestly feel that we can make a run in this state this year, the numbers here in my red area gives me a lot of reason to think so. Obama is nearly 40% in some of the local polling and that's almost unheard of in this area!

[cyndensco]

14. TOO cool!

You must be teaching her well.

[AtomicKitten]

15. My neighbor's 18-month-old precious calls him "Bama"

:D

[Cha]

28. I wanna call him "Bama" sometimes

but catch myself. Kinda like when Obama calls women "Sweetie". Just a small term of endearment.

Lest anyone thinks I have a crush..it's more like a crush on Democracy and Obama represents that quite well to me.

[AtomicKitten]

32. I've got a crush on democracy. ;)

I remain absolutely gobsmacked that America had the good sense to nominate this guy.

With great hopes that we are indeed going to change the world!

YES*WE*CAN

:toast:

[Cha]

37. Did you see the video? :)

:toast:

[AtomicKitten]

40. I did and thanks for the heads-up on that.

YES*WE*CAN :D

[Kittycat]

31. My 15mo as well. My 4yo runs around singing Yes, we can & shouting

O-Ba-Ma most days. The other day he was milling about the house singing BINGO, and towards the end I guess he lost track what song he was singing, because I hear... "Bingo was his YES WE CAN" :rofl:

[AtomicKitten]

34. "Bingo was his YES WE CAN!!!"

Beautiful!

Gawd I miss having little ones around. My baby will be 22 next week.

[Kittycat]

36. You're welcome to babysit, LOL.

They're used to watching news, Obama rallies, and can recite all the catchy phrases from Olberman's show... including classics like, Bushed, AHH, WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD, & the NBC call letters sung in tune.

[DesertFlower]

16. you must be so proud. nt

[CoffeeCat]

19. Wow, my kids--

...who are 7 and 8--call him "Brock Bama."

I think you've got a future Mensa member on your hands.

Enjoy!

[Clark2008]

30. I have 9-year-old son from my first marriage.

His father is Arabic and shares Barak's middle name (in Arab countries, the children, boys and girls, are given their father's name for a middle name); therefore, my son thinks it's cool that we might have a president with the middle name Hussein.

In any case, I think that pronouncing Obama's name is fairly easy for my blended household (my son is half Palestinian and my daughter is half Jewish. How 'bout them apples? :) )

[AtomicKitten]

35. your blended household is the underpinning of peace

:thumbsup:

[Jersey Devil]

20. check out this video of Babies for Obama

http://youtube.com/watch?v=WBuEqzGm3VA

Go to youtube.com and search "babies for Obama" and you will find a lot of cute videos

[barack the house]

21. The children are the future and they instinctively know who supports that...

Very sweet story.

[vaberella]

22. Hahahahahaha!!! Your child just got the job as Obama's PR REP!!

Congrats...you've done it !!

[vaberella]

23. I just want to say this is the key. We have to organize and have Obama's back in presidency for our

future. When he's there, he's going to be stonewalled. We the people have to stand up. And when he strays, which he will, we have to be able to bring him back in line nad remember us. We have to keep at him.

I'm not sure if many ofyou are aware. But The Nation writers along with Danny Glover created a site called http://progressivesforobama.blogspot.com/. We have to keep this highlighted. So our future and our kids future can have a chance. We need him in for this nation.

[NatBurner]

26. *bookmarked*

[Mme. Defarge]

24. That needs to get on his website! nt

[loyalsister]

25. Your one year old is one of those babies

who "has been born since his campaign began and is now walking and talking" :party:

I love that you posted that for us!! :grouphug:

[slinkerwink]

27. Awwwww! First word?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

29. Maybe he/she will win the spelling bee next year.

:patriot:

[Clark2008]

38. Heh... Her nickname is The Bee.

;)

[RB TexLa]

33. Is that early or late for them to be talking?

honestly, I don't know when the things start to speak words.

[Clark2008]

39. It's about normal.

They say "words" this early, but usually only their parents understand what they're saying.

But, she has been saying "da da, ba ba and ma ma" for awhile, so it's not that far of a stretch for her to piece together "Obama."

[eridani]

41. You need to get him/her a "Baby Got Barack" tshirt n/t
