Teenage politics
by Sammi Cerino
September 29, 2008

Wow! The Obama campaign is doing a terrific job so far don't you think?

I really feel that obama has a really good chance that he will become president. He really took charge when the bail out crisis was going on! Presidents have to juggle many things all at once, and i think he showed that he has what i takes to handle a crisis like that and handle the big debate! Big thumbs up on that one.

Anyways, now i have to get to the subject of teenage politics. So far the amount of teenagers that have taken a part in both campaigns has gotten greater and greater and i am so happy to see that. On the Nick channel they have a series going on about how many kids are actually taking part in the Obama or McCain campaign and its really interesting to see how many teenagers\ kids that are so into this whole politics thing. I thought that i would mention that some of the sixth graders in my school have been following my footsteps and have been getting more active in politics. i am so happy to hear every time when i walk past the 6th grade L.A teacher and he says that some of his kids are really into that sort of thing.When he told me that i was very very excited, i wanted to talk to those 6th graders and get there opinions on the Obama or McCain campaign... but unfortunately i just don't have enough time! Each and everyone of their opinions is very important to me. I am so thrilled that those kids are getting more and more interested in politics. High five 6th graders!

Teenagers of all ages should start early into politics personally i think that it gives you a better perspective on how our government works. Also, when everyone says " we are only teenagers we cant make a difference in politics!" I start flipping out and telling them over and over again like obama says "YES WE CAN!" That normally changes their attitude about politics pretty quick!
