Friday, President Obama visited Mason Crest elementary school in Annandale, Virginia to announce major progress on his ConnectED initiative. Before his remarks, however, he stopped by one of the school’s 2nd Grade classes to chat with students.
In his informal meeting with the young students the President asked them to “Define the word “tragedy”.
One unidentified girl replied, “If my mommy ran over my dog, Bailey, that would be a tragedy!”
The President smiled at the little girl and said, “No, sweetie. That would be an accident! Would anyone else like to give it a try?”
A little boy sitting across the room raised his hand and said, “I know! I know! If our bus driver ran off of a cliff and killed everyone!”
The President shook his head and said, “No son, that would be a great loss! Doesn’t anyone know of a good example of a tragedy?”
Then 7 year old Francine Upton, raised her hand and said, “Well, Mr. President, if you and Michelle were in Air Force One and it was hit by a missile and blown to smithereens, most people would think that that was a tragedy!”
“Very good” he said, “And what was your reason for that answer?”
“Well” she answered, “It would not be an accident and it sure would be no great loss!” - See more at: http://www.washingtonstarnews.com/satire/7-year-old-just-put-obama-in-his-place-with-this-answer-to-his-question/#sthash.PfF00UMn.dpuf

HAHA OMG now THAT was good!!
Satire...got it.
Which leads to a Hillary joke:
Hillary is visiting an elementary school and is taking questions from the children. Little Joey asks a question. “Mrs. Clinton,” Joey asks, “What really happened with your private email server? Did you do something bad?”
Just then, the lunch bell rings, and the teacher gets the class off to lunch. After lunch, Hillary takes more student questions. Finally Jane gets to ask a question.
“Two questions, please,” Jane says. “One, why did the lunch bell ring at 9 o’clock in the morning? And two, where is Joey?”
A very old joke. I remember hearing this for the first time being told on Bill Clinton.
That Hillary joke is actually an old Soviet era GULAG joke.
Interesting. It's quite telling that an old GULAG joke fits Hillary so perfectly.
Out of the mouth of babes.
“It would be an accident and it sure would be no great loss” Children and dogs are great judges of character.
I find it amazing that FReepers are believing that this actually happened.
Jane, Joey is now with Jesus as all others that ask the wrong question of the Clintons are. Anyone else want to ask a question?
