Nearly two years ago, I described my shock in having our soon to be adopted daughter declaring she hated President Obama upon seeing his picture on TV. I was even more floored when she declared her Republican loyalty.
As she started to settle into our family, the tides started to change. Suddenly her hatred shifted away from the current president to current state senators. A Republican senator, in particular. I don't really encourage or discourage hatred of politicians. I try to remain neutral in my political beliefs with Rose so she can form her own beliefs.
That said, the Obama bobble head and other conversations we've had about gay rights, etc., must have sunk in because this year Rose very proudly voted for Obama. She now is a dedicated Democrat who hates Republicans, except Lincoln. Proving how fickle children's political stances are. On the news they said most kids political preferences match their parents'.
Anyway, I'm just glad Rose is interested in the political process. I'll close this post with a picture of her after placing her vote.
