Yeah, I pretty much agree with what you said about this.

If it makes you feel any better, what you told your 4th grader is what my son (who was a 4th grader at the time) told his 1st grade sister. He wanted us to vote for Obama in the primary, she wanted us to vote for Clinton. I asked them each to tell me why, to try and convince me. My daughter said she wanted Hillary Clinton to win the primary because she was a woman. My son told her you don't vote for someone because they are a man or woman, or white or black, but for the one you think will do the best job.
I hope he'll never lose that ideal.

If Warren Buffet, one of Obama's chief economic advisorss, isn't worried, I don't think anyone else needs to be either.
