* * * * * * *LITTLE JOHNNY MEETS BARACK OBAMA

* * Barack Obama was visiting a primary school last week and visited
one of the 4th grade classes.

* * The class was in the middle of a discussion related to words and
their meanings, so 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.'

* * Billy 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.'

* * Sara 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 tragedy?'

* * Well,' says the boy, 'It has to be a tragedy, because it
certainly
wouldn't be a great loss....and it probably wouldn't be an accident
either.'
