Daughter's Summer School GVT class today looked up issues on the candidates and their promises
Edited on Tue Jun-17-08 01:54 PM by greenbriar
she said after she got to the issues on Obamas website, she really likes his policies



but she said most of her class had a tough time navigating Obamas website because of the DONATIOn

and she said her classmates kind of complained about that being the first thing on the page..



Being the daughter of a DUer she was able to calmly explain that the donations were in fact for the victims of the flooding in Iowa and the rest of the mid west and also for ways to help.


she went on to inform them that Obama was filling sandbags to help and that McNasty was offering "talk" and that our "esteemed leader" was having tea and crumpets with the queen and that we would be seeing photo opps later.




Daymn she is one bright cookie!!!

2. yes she is
she also commented that McNasty's "promises" were really vague




She does think that Obama is promising too much and she doesn't think that he will have enough time to do all that he wants to do.

3. one more thing...
the consensus of the class (all 16-18) is that McNasty is too old.




she is only 17 and will be too young to vote this November, but says she will definately vote Obama for his second term.
