Congratulations! you've reached the "I hate children" meter :D

      For some people it is no surprise that our presidential candidate Mitt Romney has rejected Nickelodeon's invitation to "Kids Pick the President". He made the announcement on October 4th after he had announced about about cutting PBS. On the other hand, Obama even invited nickelodeon to the white house and answered the questions of the children. Press asked Obama's campaign how they felt about Mitt Romney rejecting nickelodeon's event "Kids Pick the President" and they stated "It’s no surprise Romney decided to play hookey. Kids demand details, and I’m sure they want some answers on why Romney could increase their class sizes, eliminate their teacher’s jobs, raise taxes on their families and slash funding for Big Bird. Unfortunately for Mitt Romney, ‘The dog ate my homework’ just doesn't cut it when you’re running for president." 

      I chose this article because it takes a big part in Americans, this is the man who is running for president and wants to cut PBS an educational program for children and doesn't want to participate with children events which the children are our future. I believe Mitt Romney should have taken the time to hear what the kids had to say and answer their questions. 

      As a student this disappoints me, I feel as if Mitt Romney doesn't take students seriously as he should. Today's children is our future, and he needs to hear them out and show them he's willing to support. I don't believe Romney is on the right track for running for president, It's going to take a huge  responsibility to please everyone and from what I've seen, he's better off letting Obama do his job. As a future filmmaker I believe the media like TMZ did a good job in exposing Mitt Romney's rejection to "Kids Pick the President"  and as a consumer I wish I would have seen more of what Romney had to say about his actions. 

      Reading this article raises questions like does former governor Mitt Romney have the right intentions for America ? Would he help our country or will he make our situation worse. I wonder if he cares about our students and our education, that is really scary.
