Maybe it would help stop the childish bickering if both presidential contenders, Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama, re-read the insightful book "All I Ever Really Needed To Know I Learned in Kindergarten."

Roxanna Bain

Written by Robert Fulgham, this book offers good advice that everyone should follow, especially those open to public scrutiny. All White House candidates should remember to:  
  
Share Everything ( "many black voters will side with Obama," Bill Clinton told reporters in South Carolina.)  
  
Play Fair (Obama's campaign circulated a notice to news organizations describing Hillary Clinton as "D-Punjab," according to The New York Times.)  
  
Don't Hit People (Obama, speaking January 23, 2008 in Kingstree, South Carolina, jabbed at Clinton by reminding his audience that she voted for a 2001 bankruptcy bill but was happy when it failed to become law.)  
  
Clean Up Your Own Mess (The former president has accused Obama of exaggerating his anti-war record and handing out undeserved praise to Republicans. He said the Obama campaign has manipulated the news media, telling the CNN reporter, "shame on you.")  
  
Say Sorry When You Hurt Somebody (Clinton's campaign aired a radio ad in South Carolina suggesting Obama approved of Republican ideas. Obama responded with his own radio spot that says, "Hillary Clinton will say anything to get elected," according to USA Today.)  
  
Of course, the presidential candidates, along with all of us, should always remember to:  
  
Wash Your Hands Before You EatFlush  
  
Warm Cookies And Cold Milk Are Good For you.  
  
Live A Balanced Life  
  
And ... always try to............  
  
Take A Nap Every Afternoon.
