Joke of the Day

President Obama was vistiting a primary school and visited the 1st grade classes. The class was in the middle of a lesson on words and their meaning. Obama asked if any of the kids could give the meaning of the word "tragedy?" One little boy stood up and said, "If my best friend was playing in the road and got hit by a car and was killed that would be a tragedy." Obama replied, "No, that would be an accident." So a little girl stood up and said, "if a bus carrying 50 students ran off a cliff and everyone died that would be a tragedy." Obama replied, "no, that would be a great loss." So the room went silent and then Little Johnny stood up and said, "If you and Mrs. Obama were in a plane and it got hit by a "friendly fire" missle and you all died that would be a tragedy." Obama replied, "yes Johnny that would be a tragedy, but can you tell me why?" Johnny said, "because it sure as hell won't be a great loss and you can bet your ass it probably wasn't an accident."
