My 8 year old advised me this week that her class wrote a letter to Obama. Well I flipped out. We always discuss politics so she is aware of Obama. I wrote a small letter to her lovely teacher asking her if there were anymore Obama related activities planned and that Obama and his wife are not the people we want our children to look up to that we hate them both. I felt bad because her teacher wrote back a nice note that she does not preach politics in class but she thought the exercise would be nice to ask Obama how he enjoys living in the White Hut and what he would do to help America. She said the children would get a reply back from the fool who takes the letters for Obama. Anyway I felt bad but not for long. This school so far has been pretty good and neutral over the years.

The teacher's explanation was slightly acceptable. Had she not wanted to be political, she could have had the kids write his daughters and not him. Whether they wrote to him or his kids, some White House lackey will probably be writing any response the class gets anyway, with an automatic pen signature from Bambi. A real keepsake.
