A 6 year old child with an interest in American politics explains why you shouldn't vote for President Obama

Kid gives 10 reasons NOT to Vote for Obama

A group called The Patriot Update, which bills itself as ''the leading news source for the everyday American'', has uploaded a provocative YouTube video which has enraged those who believe children should not be used as political mouthpieces.

So in other words, it has enraged pretty much everybody.

In the two-minute video, six-year-old American boy Isaac Anthony lists 10 reasons not to vote for US president Barack Obama.

The boy is described in the notes under the video as “a conservative six-year-old who knows where he stands on political issues and the upcoming Presidential election”.

Where exactly does he stand?

Among other things, young Isaac says that Mr Obama takes money from people who work hard, and gives it to people who don’t work at all.

He also claims Mr Obama is not proud of America and bows to the leaders of other countries.

In perhaps the most controversial moment, young Isaac says Mr Obama wants to take guns away from good guys. To make his point, he pretends to fire a gun which he pulls from a holster on his belt.

He completes his Letterman-style top 10 list by saying nobody even knows where the president came from.

One of the reasons Mr Obama won the 2008 election was because of his superior social media presence. Videos like these, though not officially endorsed by any political party, appear to be an attempt to combat that.

10 reasons this video is really wrong

1. The video borders on child exploitation.

2. Not content to exploit a six year old boy, it also features a baby and a little girl.

3. This is hardly the best week to show a kid firing a gun.

4. Peanut butter and jelly? No wonder American kids are fat.

5. Also there are no plates on the table. Perhaps Americans should teach table manners before they teach kids politics.

6. The boy says Obama doesn’t want to drill for oil. This he says while standing next to a General Motors “Denali” pickup truck. The mountain called Denali is the highest peak in Alaska, a major oil drilling state where Obama has recently approved new fields.

6. The bit with the scary, vicious dog is wrong for a bunch of obvious reasons.

7. Kids always look annoying in sunglasses.

8. The flagpole near the end of the video appears to depict a Gadsden Flag, which has become a symbol of the Tea Party Movement. It features a coiled rattlesnake and the motto “Don’t Tread on Me”. Some Americans consider it offensive.

9. Action figures and politics should never mix. The kid should be off playing with the figures, not doing this kind of thing.

10. The boy’s front door is unlocked. Surely in modem day America this is dangerous.
