Kids' Perspective on the Presidential Election

Two kids are on the playground fighting over who's better at kickball. "I'm better!" exclaims one. "Nuh uhhh, I'm better!" retorts the other.
Now look at the presidential debates that have been playing the past few weeks.
See a similarity?
President Obama and Senator Romney may be debating over things such as economics and foreign policy, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that it's just a screaming contest of who can prove they're better.
In the link I am posting, there is a video in which kids ages 8-12 explain their reactions to the presidential debates. While some of their responses may seem funny and trivial, think twice about their answers: presidential debates aren't really anything but a fight on the playground.
