Little Johnny speaks his mind once again.....

Barack Obama was visiting a primary school in North Carolina and he
visited a fourth grade class. They were in the middle of a discussion
related to words and their meanings.

The teached asked the president if he would like to lead the
discussion on the word " 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 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 off a cliff, killing 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 teached 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 ass it wouldn't
be an accident either!"

The teacher fainted

Amen
