Government and Politics...

I hosted the monthly meeting for our book club last week. We read Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama.

Drew asked me about the book so I told him that the author was planning to run for president and we talked a bit about elections, voting, etc.

Today he asked me if "that guy" had won president or not and I explained that it's a long process and he first has to campaign. He said, "What if he becomes president and says we all have to tear down our fences?" and we discussed different levels of government and the types of issues a president would address.

So today we're going to read a book called Duck for President that gives a glimpse into different levels of government and the campaign process. Since I don't have time to run to the library on a whim and am also bad about returning books and racking up fines, I buy books that look interesting and keep them around to read when it relates to something we've seen or discussed.

Oh and for the record we're not Democrats. (We're not Republicans either.)
