On the way to catch a basketball game together–see, I expose him to normal things–the lad explained to me how he sizes up the current election field and his own future in politics:

I don’t know who to vote for. You just need to vote for whoever will STOP THE WAR. I want to know who will bring all of those soldiers home. Maybe someday I’ll be president, and I will stop the war…some war that is going on. That’s what a president should do.

An hour later, at halftime, he added:

I also want to be a basketball referee, and maybe an editor. Plus being president.

I wouldn’t put it past him.
