Election Night Recap, Courtesy of The Kid

The Kid's take on election night, part of a weekly homework assignment:

On Election Day I went to school and then after school I went to a poll. Then I went home, got a football and played some football and then at dinner I was watching the election off the computer. And then we were watching the state of red and blue and the blue basically took over the country so I was like, “Obama really won?” in my head. And then my parents told me that it was starting and I was like, “What’s starting?” and they told me that it was the concession speech. And in the concession speech I saw McCain talking and saying that Obama would be a good President to us and then Obama came out on stage and gave a speech and at the beginning of that speech he said that they were bringing a puppy to the Whitehouse. That’s the thing I’ll probably always remember.

I saw a bunch of people crying and cheering. And me and my family were very happy. And then when I went to bed I heard fireworks. And then when I woke up and I was driving to school the next day I heard the front page of the New York Times (we have a subscription to the New York Times) was worth $140.00!

What does Obama need to work on?

1. The economy: It’s not making any money.
2. Manufacturing: We need more jobs.
3. Prop 8: There should be gay marriage.
4. Warfare: They need to stop the war in Iraq.
5. Racism: We have a new race of President but that might change things up a bit.

Who can help Obama?

1. Galen: Because he’s a smart kid.
2. Biden: Because he’s a politician.
3. Weird Al: Because he knows a lot of stuff.
4. Brian Jacques: Because he knows how to stop warfare.
5. Xiao Hong: Because he can get through about anything.
