Representative Obama Fan
Little Tyler Robinson demonstrates how the Obama administration would deal with the global threat from lions, tigers, bears, etc.
Dem phenom’s appeal explained. Vid here. In-depth political analysis at Boston Herald:
A young citizen is pushing aside his ABCs and enthusiastically backing Barack Obama. Too bad he can’t vote yet!
It appears the soothing sound of the Democratic presidential contender’s surname has the right rhythm for a certain rambunctious tyke.
“Obama! Obama! Obama, nanny,” said Tyler Robinson of Natick yesterday while at his grandmother’s house.
Tyler, who turns 2 later this month, is a hit on YouTube with his perfect presidential pronunciation. He’s also being featured on a CNN segment on babies hooked on the candidate’s name.
“Maybe he could be a superdelegate,” dad Mike Robinson, 31, said of his firstborn.
The blue-eyed, curly haired toddler eavesdropped on household political debates and seems to have sided with the Illinois senator over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. No word yet if he can say “John McCain.”
“I’m for Obama and his mom is for Hillary Clinton,” said Mike Robinson.
“We do talk politics a lot,” added grandmother Janet Robinson, 58, who cares for Tyler at her Walpole home while the boy’s parents work.
Boston child psychologist Solomon Levin isn’t surprised. “Obama is a great word. It has all the easy vowels,” he said.
Obama, sounds like Mama. As good a reason as any I’ve heard. But there may be an electability problem.
… when asked who will win the presidential race, Tyler firmly told the Herald, “Me!”
I’m sure this voter has equally good reasons: Carter hints he likes Obama.

The kid’s opinion means more to me than Carter’s.

Carter was in Nigeria for a ceremony celebrating a reduction in Guinea worm disease in West Africa.
Good to see the former president is maximizing his talents.

Carter hints he likes Obama.
Reminds him of himself.

Jimmah and Jane Fonda give the thumbs up for Obambi.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I hope neither of Obambi’s daughters (currently ages 6 & 9) will ever be “punished with a baby” as O self-righteously opined this week.
Hopefully, (chopefully), O and Michelle will take some time from their busy schedules to teach their daughters how they might someday avoid said “punishment”.
Maybe we can set up a government program to accomplish same, y’all know how well those work.
