The big story here is not kids views about Obama, but what kids are wishing for. Our culture is “scripting” them to lust for certain things for their lives - charting their course with compasses of hope for (in this order):

  1. Money (27%)
  2. Possessions (15%)

And these rank higher than: happiness, a long life, and a better world.

Say hello to the children of Empire.

We have an opportunity to train up children to believe for bigger things than consumerism can deliver. Let’s make this young generation crave great things.
