Porter's Obama Obsession

My father-in-law, a very conservative Republican, will be surprised to hear this, but Porter, our 4-year old, has become somewhat obsessed with Obama.  It started when he was seeing his picture in the newspaper everyday and started asking me, "Who is that brown man?".  I explained that he was our new President.  Part of Porter's interest may be because he has started noticing the different skin colors that people have, who knows. 
A few weeks ago, I went into Porter's room and he was taping pictures up on his wall.  They were pictures of Obama from the newspaper, that he had cut out himself.  Hilarious!  I asked what he was doing and he said he was hanging up pictures of the prophet!  Yikes!  I explained the difference between the two, but since we do call President Monson, President, I could understand his confusion.  So yesterday the newspaper came with Obama's 100 days and approval rating and such on the front page with lots of pictures.  Porter saw it and said, "Wow, I gotta cut these out!".
Neither Dave or I consider ourselves Democrats, but we do find this obsession amusing.  I'll have to post some pics of Porter's "wallpaper".
