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, “Id 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 Pumas.”
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.” —————————————————- I have to confess I did not write it, but got it from an unknown Republican who has been posting it around for about a month now.
ROFL! It's funny, but I can clearly see that Republicans are recruiting the PUMAs.
Best is to stay Independent. I will vote for fiscal conservatives, BUT I most certainly want them to be social moderates, definitely pro-choice with support for both sides of the choice spectrum. Glad to see a Scott Brown on the Repub side. Want to see more like him on the Dem side.
