: Little Johnny meets Barack Obama...
Barack Obama was visiting a primary school in North Carolina and visited a
fourth grade class. 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 him over and k**ls him, that
would be a tragedy." "No," corrected Obama, "that would be an accident."
A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff,
k*****g everyone, that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not," explained Obama.
"That's what we would call a great loss."
The room went silent. No other child 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. The teacher held
her breath. 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 sweet ass it wouldn't be an accident either!"
The teacher left the room.
