Vote for Obama - at least my son wants me to!

This is not a political endorsement of any sort because I'm not affiliated with Democractic or Republican party, yet! However I had an interesting conversation with my 5-year old son about upcoming presidential elections. He'd like me to vote for Barack Obama because of the following 3 reasons:
