The kids love Obama
(Obama at NYU)
Barack Obama continues to be a hit with the college set, speaking last week to an excitable crowd of 24,000 at New York University.
Obama again delighted the crowd by ripping the cost of college in a speech that touched on Iraq and health care too.
In other campaign news, Obama and John Edwards said in last week’s New Hampshire debate that they would be comfortable reading the book “King and King,” which has same-sex relationships as a theme, to their young children and would support its use as part of a school curriculum. Hillary Clinton also gave less enthusiastic support for the book, the subject of a controversy when a second grade techer read it to her class in Massachucetts.
The three were criticized by Mitt Romney, who in a statement said he opposed the use of such a book in school.

For years I have been wanting a candidate that wasn’t a part of the Washington political scene - that wasn’t a rat… what kind of experience does a voter want? The only experience to be had in Washington is that of corruption… Obama 08!
