Babble Talk: The Babies Tell Us Who Will Be Their Next President

Posted by JeanneSager

When Elmo wants to know something, he always asks a baby, so we figured, what the heck. When in doubt, do it the Sesame Street way. Babble has asked a bunch of babies who is going to be our next president. Want to take a peek?

We'll give you a hint, he's got a name Tina Fey's daughter thinks is absolutely hilarious. . .  Hey, when you're three, anything can set you off in a fit of giggles. Like my daughter, who tells everyone who will listen that Barack Obama is the president. I didn't tell her that - she saw him on Nickolodeon Kids Pick the President, and she picked him. My mom tried telling her George Bush is the president, but I don't like anyone lying to my kid. I mean, come on, we all know Dick Cheney is the president. Duh.

But back to those babies and their election forecast. Watch 'em getting down, doing the wave and showing their patrotic pride over their dinner plates.

I LOVE THIS!!  Not only is this the cutest but for sake of these children, as well as every American child, I do so hope that Barack Obama is our next President.  The Obama campaign should turn this into a commercial to counter all that ugly negative stuff from the other side :)

My son is 9 months and he can say, "Mama", "Baba" (Vietnamese for Dad), and once in a while, "Obama".  We are very proud.

Can your baby say socialism too? Because that is what nobama stands for.

By "ugly negative stuff" do you mean the truth? Because that is exactly what it is. Don't call it ugly until you actually do your research and know what ugly is. Because the only ugly that I see is the smear campaign on Pallin. She has done nothing wrong, but is getting kicked around left and right for being beautiful,  for being a mom and for being a republican.

Hey purebread,

This was a cute post.  If you don't agree then move on.  I think most of us who plan on enjoying an Obama Presidency aren't interested in any fear mongering.  If anything, seeing those little faces makes voting for Barack Obama that much more important.

I've done my research.  Not only am I voting for Barack Obama but I may just drive to D.C. for the historic day that he is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America.  And one day, when I'm old and gray, I'll tell the younger generations that I was there the day our nation began to heal.

purebread. hmm. that is one fishy handle. I wish I could force repubs to say positive things about McCain instead of negative things about Obama, but they don't seem to have anything nice to say about him. He doesn't strike me as a bad guy. Of course, I am voting for Obama, not because of the negative things about McCain, but because of the positive things about Obama! Education! Health Care reform! Finally! And anyone who calls him a socialist doesn't know what socialism is. By that line of logic, repubs would be fascists. Come on. Use yer head.

PEACE!

sara.....if you think that paying 50% in income tax is worth health care socialism, then go for it. Because that is what you will be paying. Unless of course you are in the "poor" bracket, then no worries you will get it for free and my business will pick up the tab...and probably put me and my 10 employees out of business.

We GROSS over $250K, we barely NET enough to survive and raise our family.  50% of americans are small business owners or work for small businesses, so when we get taxed it will affect the american economy.

So don't tell me that I don't know what socialism is....I know that when you take peoples hard earned money and spread it around..."just to make it fair" -quote from Obama. That is SOCIALISM.

I am a first generation american and  my parents came here from socialism countries in Europe....why? Because of the American Dream. The Dream to own their own business where the government doesn't interfere.

Well guess what? If Obama wins their American Dream and mine will be squashed. And you Obama supporters have NO idea, no clue.

Get your head out of the sand and realize that the money for the plans has to come from somewhere.....who's pocket is it going to be?

The reason for the Obama "negative" comments is because it is the TRUTH, and the media won't talk about it or bring it up because they are all liberal.

So, someone has to talk about.

And McCain has some great ideas, the healthcare reform and credit. That $5000k credit will be a lot cheaper for me than paying 50% in income taxes. I might as well buy my own damn insurance for that fee.

McCain HAS military experience. He is led a brigade for pete's sake. He knows  how to run this country. His foreign policy is perfection. He knows what is going on with other foreign countries, he gets military inside information he actually KNOWS what dangers face us out there. He will protect America, not make us weaker. That is what Clinton did, he made us weak and closed down many many Marine and Army offices, and when 9-11 hit we were NOT prepared we were weak....and Clinton is to blame for that.

We will be constantly challenged from extreemists who hate us. Who do you want on your side? Someone like McCain that has experience or a Muslim raised/ man who has family that are terrorist extreemists?
