Even my 14 year old son can see thru the GOP b*llshit.
My son and I were watching the news together and he asks why McPain never says what HE'S going to do...only cuts Obama down. Gotta love the boy! And, he's eligible to vote in the 2012 elections. Yeah!

He was pretty interested in what Obama has to say on the subject of collage, and say's he'd love to do community service in exchange for help with his education. His dream is to be a skate park designer/engineer. He is a very talented skateboarder, and wants to work with underprivileged/abused children thru skating.

1. Sure he can - you've encouraged him to think for himself
Not all 14 y.o.'s are that fortunate.

5. My fourteen-year-old was also hanging on every word ...
... when Obama was talking about college education funding. He said to me, "Would he be able to do this in his FIRST term?" He's making plans.

8. That's exactly what Obama was
saying in the Indiana rally tonight!

"You don't know what mccain is going to do because he never talks about it..he only talks about me!"

I'm excited for kids like your son who can be inspired by Obama to go to college and give back to the country without signing their lives away.

9. Sounds like a bright kid.
He's lucky, some kids grow up being taught by their parents to hate everything they do.
