Little Johnny meets Obama

Little Johnny meets Barack Obama



Barack Obama was visiting a primary school and he

visited one of the classes. They were in the middle

of a discussion related to words and their meanings.



The teacher asked the president if he would like to

lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy.'



So our illustrious president asked the class for an

example of a 'tragedy..'



One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend,

who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a

tractor runs over him and kills him,that would be a tragedy."



"No," said Obama, "that would be an accident."



A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying

50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside,

that would be a tragedy."

"I'm afraid not," explained Obama.

"That's what we would call great loss."



The room went silent. No other children volunteered..

Obama searched the room."Isn't there someone here who can

give me an example of a tragedy?"



Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his

hand. In a quiet voice he said: "If the plane carrying

you and Mrs. Obama was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile

and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy "Fantastic!" exclaimed Obama. "That's right. And can you

tell me why that would be a tragedy?"



"Well," says Johnny, "It has to be a tragedy, because it

sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss ...... and you can

bet your *** it's probably not an accident either."

Way too true. Congrats to Johnny!!!:)

Yup, Johnny is pretty smart.

lol, awesome.
