What Would You Do if You Were President?

Kids can say the darndest things. They can also be wonderfully straightforward so we asked them what they would do.

With help from Ms. Cobert's 2nd Grade class at Evergreen Elementary School, the Patch posed a question: What would you do if you were president of the United States?

Their responses were a wonderful mix of different ways to be helpful to people. Also many of them seem to feel that cars are much too expensive. But each answer is very honest. Take a few minutes to read and enjoy their responses as we look at things from a child's perspective.

Here are a few of our favorites:

"If I were President I would do many things. I would make everything less expensive like costumes. I would give people money. I would give people jobs."     ~AnaDelia T.

"If I were President I would do many things. If I were President I would fight with troops. If I were president I would have a pet monkey. If I were President I would give the poor people money."  ~Juan P.

"If I was President I would do many things. I would lower the price on gas. I would make more cities. I would want to be on the one dollar bill."   ~Kameron L

"If I were President I would do many things. I would make everything less expensive. I would pay the teachers more money. I would make more parks."   ~Kanaea A.

Great sentiments by all of the kids!

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

It is too late. Vegas money is behind the casino and nothing will stop it now.

I agree! Local, organic and let's become a more healthy community. Walmart is not doing anythingRead More good with selling cheaper things for our families when its going to make us sick in the long run.

The writer acknowledges no "cost" to the local community for its globalized retailing.Read More Walmart produces some jobs, and undercuts jobs at other local employers who can't compete with those low prices. THINK globally, but ACT locally! Purchase from those who keep more dollars in our community! That ain't Walmart!
