G'day Everyone!
It gets cute every year. Every 6 year old kid DREAMS really big. Wanting to be a PRESIDENT!
Try this one:

This is a deaf 6 year old Declan Hurley of Clarence NY, serving notice that he wants to be the first DEAF PRESIDENT.
My reaction: Laugh LONG and HARD! Kids, they're safe from the world's pressing problems and enjoying their childhood dreams. They have NO idea of just how *HARD* it is to become a PRESIDENT.
I do know two friends who are working HARD in political circles to become something politically important. They have a LONG way to make their mark in policital circles. One of them has this politcal related blog: http://www.xanga.com/micahbrwn . It's a worth to see on his site.
So if Declan Hurley's parents will steer him in the right direction in life to become just that, a president, then he will be just that.
But then again, as an Alumni of Gallaudet University and NTID, Declan Hurley is my FIRST choice when he grows up and gets all certifications that he needs to become NTID or Gallaudet University's NEXT DEAF PRESIDENT NOW. A lot can happen in his life in the next 30-40 years. By the time he grows up, most of us will be gone and he'll be facing a new generation of deaf people. So I wish him good fortune. He had better hope that who ever the next president is going to be in the coming fall general Presidential elections doesn't end up destroying the Nation first.
Meanwhile, As Micah Brown said in his blog: Obama has chosen his VP. Obama is keeping a secret and hopefully to MILK the media moments up till the convention time. Unfortunately, it's his big gamble because fighting against John McCain. My bet is that McCain will find out who Obama's VP is and eventually spilling the beans. If that happens, then we got a good political fight coming our way this fall.
Semper FI to : Declan Hurley. May his presidential prepping years go smooth for himself.
