A Child's Reasoning

So any of you that are into politics will appreciate this dialogue.  Cooper went over to his friend Easton's house to play one afternoon, and afterwards his Mom, Tori, told me the conversation she overheard:

Easton:  So Cooper, who did you vote for for president?
Cooper: What do you mean?
Easton: Did you vote for Obama or McCain?
Cooper: I voted for Obama because he builds trains.
Easton: Oh, I voted for McCain because he makes candy canes.

A week previous to this conversation Tyler was reading the newspaper while eating breakfast and there was a headline saying that Pres. Obama was going to build a high-speed railway across the nation.  Since Cooper LOVES trains he thought that whoever Obama is, he's great because he wants to build trains. :-)  I love the amazing minds of 4 year-olds.  Things aren't complex with them.  They just say things how they see them, and take everything for face value.  There's no beating around the bush when it comes to Cooper.
