I am in the car with Sam, my six year old son, listening to NPR as they talk about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton... yadda yadda yadda. Sam starts saying, "Barack..... Obaaaamaaaa" like Rob Schneider's SNL "copier" guy character. Sam loves to say "Barack Obama". I took him to vote in the caucus, and to a rally at the Target center some months ago.
Anyway, he thinks Obama is the president. I correct him, and he asks who the president is. I tell him a gentleman by the name of George Bush is the president.
Sam ponders this for a moment, and responds, "When does the REAL president start?"
