Accomplished to Stupid?

It's a "yay for kids" day!

Diva Tot, in all her 2 years of intelligence, decided today that the Big White Throne in the powder room wasn't as scary as once believed and put it to use.

Laying in the floor coloring, the notion hit her. She jumped up with a deer in headlights look and says... "i needa go potty! i needa go potty!"

And sure enough... she did! Of course, i did all the normal (embarrassing) milestone rituals... took a picture of her on the potty, called Daddy and Grandma *grins*. Things she will be so glad of when she's grown!! right?!

Things like this make me feel SO accomplished!! i AM doing something right!!


Then... i turn the TV on ... Fox News just happened to be the last channel on... and what do i see?

Obama makes a comment about how if it weren't for Fox News, he would be 3 or 4 points higher in the poles, and that if he watched Fox News, he wouldn't vote for him either!

Now, i am not the most intelligent person in the world, but i do consider myself to be educated.

Educated enough to be pissed that someone (Obama) would think that i am shallow enough to pick my presidential choice by watching Fox News and taking them at face value.

I enjoy learning in all aspects, and with a decision that affects my family as big as the one that we all make on November 4th, i have ensured i can read, research and learn as much as i can, from all angles. I watch Fox News, and i watch CNN. I listen to opinions from both sides, because regardless of what party affiliation i am, i am voting for the person i find best suited for me and my beliefs and who will put forth the best effort for my childrens' future.

To assume that my thinking can be swayed by a channel on my television not only is demeaning to me and my intelligence, but allows me to see Obama in a light that is not very favorable. How dare he, or anyone, make themselves out to be better than me because of the television station i choose to watch!

Am i supposed to feel stupid because of watching a certain news? Am i to believe that my intelligence is lowered because of channel 44?!
