A five-year-old has gone viral for asking the tough questions we still find ourselves needing answers to.

Originating on the account of @tabgeezy, her adorable daughter really needs to know, "But where did Barack Obama go?" 

But like, for real though.

After musing over the former president's absence in the frenzied way children are like to do, she cuts to the heart of the matter with an epic side eye and asks, "So, why do we have the president we have now?" 

Ultimately, the conversation turns into a cute and patient education of the US presidential election system that leaves the astute young one wondering, "and what are they even supposed to be winning?" 

This kid has a bright future and excellent taste in pajamas.
