youtube and the presidential canidates
Have you checked out this ‘youtube' thing? My son goes there and finds the most peculiar and sometimes awful stuff.

I went there today after hearing about Hillary Clinton's promotional stunt on the news.

I watched several of the replies then switched over and watched the Mitt Romney promotional stunt.

Then I watched several of those replies. First I have to say that as a mom and an elementary school teacher I was extremely impressed with their (young adults) ability to articulate in such an intelligent and self assured manner. And you gotta respect their passion regardless of their political stance. I was, however, disappointed that the only use of the word Christian was in the negatively used phrase "right wing, Christian fanatics".
I did notice, and this is only after a cursory search of the sites, that the responses to Hillarie's question were... amusing but disrespectful, while the responses to Mitt's question were not just respectful but enlightening.
I have to ask the question, "What was Hillary thinking when she asked her question?" Did she mean to make a joke out of our democratic system? That doesn't seem very Presidential. (Not that I would ever vote for her, ever.)
