Given that the inauguration of Barrack Hussein Obama is now history, I thought I would share this article with everyone. It is a story that is pretty spot on about what is going on in our country right now.ce Cream & The Election

I got it from a teacher in the Nashville area.



Who worries about "the cow" when it is all about the "Ice Cream?

The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year.

The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest.

I decided we would have an election for a class president.

We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.

To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members.

We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have.

We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.

The class had done a great job in their selections.

Both candidates were good kids. I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia's mother.

The day arrived when they were to make their speeches Jamie went first.

He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best.

Everyone applauded. He sat down and Olivia came to the podium. Her speech was concise.

She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She sat down.

The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream." She surely could say more. She did not have to.

A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure.

Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it? She didn't know.

The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream.

Jamie was forgotten.

Olivia won by a landslide.

Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and fifty-two percent of the people reacted like nine year olds. They want ice cream.

The other forty-eight percent of us know we're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess.

Sadly, this is an all too true analysis of one of the motivations behind what we are seeing happening.

Earlier I thought that history will be kind to Bush. Now I think it will be very kind.

No pity to it...just the truth. In order to move past it and correct it, we have to recognize it for what it is.

Also understanding that there is no way on God’s earth that he is going to deliver on all he is promising...nor does he intend to. He just wanted the power, position, and influence and will now go about his real agenda.

Yes, you must see what the problem is before you can provide a proper solution.

An alcoholic must admit they are an alcoholic before they will seek help. The same apples with the “ice cream” voters and those that want to stop this ideology.

Folks better be careful about what’s just below the thin sugar coating sprinkled on top of the stuff. My guess is that it stinks to high heaven and probably tastes real bad.

What I want next is those idiots that believed him to riot and ruin their own neighborhoods. Also let them deal with Obama in their own gangish ways ....

BTW, WHO is pulling Obama’s strings?

There is NO WAY he isn't being used as a puppet.

Is it Soros?

"what we are seeing happening. "

B. Hussein "We are a nation of Christians, Muslims and Non-Believers" Obama has retreated on several of his campaign promises through his advisors.

He has not retracted his, "We need a civilian defense force as large and well funded as our military."

This would be the American Stazi.

May be referring to the change over to digital TV. Heard he had put a hold on it for 90 days or something.

Thanks again.

I saw this as a teaching moment with one in 4th grade.

We've been talking to this one about the election and how vile Obama is. I want to make sure it is understood what is going on. This was great!
