AN OLDIE BUT GOODIE

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 of

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."

HE DOESN'T LIKE KITTIES OR LITTLE GIRLS...
