I got this adorable book from McSweeneys that is a compilation of kids' letters to Obama right after he was named president. They are cracking me up. Here are a few excerpts.
"Are you going to be pictured on our money? How do you like Abe Lincoln? Martin Luther King Jr. had lots of fans. How many fans do you have?
- Luis, age 8
"Dear Barack Obama, I have a great idea for you: you should set up a special phone, a special place just for kids to call you if they find things that are dangerous and can affect people, like someone smoking. This would be a special place for kids to talk to Barack Obama and let him know what's going on."
- Dhamaril, age 9
"Dear President/Mr. Obama, Please stop global warming. Try to make natural gas out of water or waste, because we're going to run out of gas. The best thing about living in the White House would be running around like a maniac. The thing I would like least is the work."
- Holly, age 9
"Dear President Obama, I know you want to save the earth, but people don't want to clean. My life is to clean up all the world and help you to clean. I always dream of changing the world with you. I'll do anything for you because you are the president in this world."
- Stephanie, age 7
Kids are the best. I want ten of them.
Just kidding- maybe three.
