Presidential candidate Barack H. Obama was visiting a primary school and he visited
one of the classrooms. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and
their meanings. The teacher asked the presidential candidate if he would like to
lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy.' So our illustrious democrat presidential
candidate 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 Barack, 'that would be a 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 little Johnny, 'It has to be a
tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be
a fucking accident either!
