I hadn't noticed it before but each of the kids has their own page on the official CBS site and they've provided answers to a whole bunch of questions (including political ones).
For those of you who've been watching, you would know Taylor's been the biggest brat of the pack and lo and behold...
What world leader do you admire?
The President of the United States because he gets to make important decisions and run our Country.
How would you change the world?
Tougher laws on criminals, especially murderers.
How would you change your neighborhood?
I live in the country so we really don't have a neighborhood to change.
What have you learned about power?
I have learned you need someone in charge with the power to pull things together as long as they don't take advantage of that power.
Is power a good thing?
Yes, with the right person or people. But it can be bad if they try to abuse their power.
What makes a good leader?
Someone who can take control of all situations while considering everyone involved and listening to everyone's opinions. Also someone that makes sure that the job gets done and that everyone does his or her part.
Who have been some of the best U.S. presidents, and why?
I would have to say George Washington because he founded our country.
Who have been some of the worst U.S. presidents, and why?
Since I'm only 11 & Bush has been Pres. for the last 7 years then I asked my family & friends to tell me about some past presidents and their opinions. This is what we came up with. Bill Clinton because he lowered the country's moral. Jimmy Carter because he gave away the Panama Canal.
So there you have it... Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton are two of the worst presidents we've ever had. :rofl:
