| Obama looked at Michelle, chuckled, and said, "You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy." Michelle shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy". Hearing their exchange, the pilot of plane said to his co-pilot, "I could throw both of them out of the window and make 256 million people very happy." |
So true!!
Is it wrong to love hearing that again and again? now if we could just outfit AF1 with super secret ejection seats! pop 'em off over Kenya with a "Return to sender" sticker on his forehead! 
Edit: Imagine Kenyans reaction as they saw Barry floating down to earth from the heavens on wings of silk (chute)!

President Obama is visiting a elementary school and he joins one of the classes. They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asks the president if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'Tragedy. So the illustrious leader asks the class for an example of a 'Tragedy'. One little boy stands up and offers: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and gets ran over by a tractor , that would be a 'Tragedy'. "No", says Mr. Obama, "that would be an accident." A little girl raises 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," explains the president. "That's what we would call a great loss" The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. Mr. Obama searches 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 raises his hand. He says, "If Air Force One , carrying you .& Mrs. Obama was shot down in the Middle East by friendly fire, that would be a tragedy". "Fantastic!" exclaims Mr. Obama, "that's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?" "Well," says the boy, "because it wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be an accident" |
