Barack Obama:

As Seen Through The Eyes of Preschoolers

My "Big-Kid Class" was all a buzz with conversation about our new President. I think they are mostly intrigued by his name....it sure does have a ring to it doesn't it? And what kid (or grow-up) wouldn't want to practice saying it a few hundred times? I swear I heard his name (or an attempt at saying his name) at least 50 times.

Here are a few of the comments they made:

RACHEL: "Well I saw him on TV cause he won. But my family didn't want him to."

NICK: "Was he the guy with the red tie or the blue tie?"

EVAN: "He is in charge of the whole country."

MICHELLE: (in response to evan) "No he is in charge of the whole world!"

EVAN: "No he's not....that's Jesus!"

JANET: "He's the nicest prophet ever."

Miss Dawn: "No....he's not the prophet. Barack Obama is the President of where we live...President Monson is the President of the Church."

JANET: "Well, which one is the more important President?"

Miss Dawn: "Ummm..."

KYLIE: "Duh....President Monson!!"
