A pretty little girl named Suzy was standing
on the sidewalk in front of her home.
Next to her was a basket containing a
number tiny creatures; in her hand was a sign announcing FREE KITTENS.
Suddenly a line of big black cars pulled
up beside her. Out of the lead car stepped a tall, grinning man.
"Hi there, little girl, I'm President Obama.
What do you have in the basket?" he asked.
"Kittens," little Suzy said.
"How old are they?" asked Obama.
Suzy replied, "They're so young, their eyes
aren't even open yet."
"And what kind of kittens are they?"
"Democrats," answered Suzy with a smile.
Obama was delighted. As soon as he returned
to his car, he called his PR chief and told him about the little girl and the
kittens.
Recognizing the perfect photo op, the
two men agreed that the president should return the next day, and, in front of
the assembled media, have the girl talk about her discerning kittens.
So the next day, Suzy was again standing on
the sidewalk with her basket of "FREE KITTENS"
when another motorcade pulled up, this
time followed by vans from ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN.
Cameras and audio equipment were quickly set
up, then Obama got out of his limo and walked over to little Suzy.
"Hello, again," he said, "I'd love it if you
would tell all my friends out there what kind of kittens you're giving away."
"Yes sir," Suzy said. "They're Republicans."
Taken by surprise, the president stammered,
"But..... But... Yesterday, you told me they were DEMOCRATS."
Little Suzy smiled and said, "I know. But
today, they have their eyes open."
