ICE CREAM
THE COW AND THE ICE CREAM ONE OF THE BEST THEORIES OF WHY OBAMA WON
THE ELECTION
From a teacher in the Nashville
area:
"We are
worried about 'the cow' when it is all about the 'Ice Cream.' The most
eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching 3rd grade. The last
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 and he sat down. Now it was Olivia's turn to
speak.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
would say more. She
did not have to. A
discussion followed.
- How did she plan to pay for the
ice cream? She wasn't sure. But no one pursued that question. They took her at
her word.
- 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 51.4 % of the people
reacted like nine year olds.They want ice cream.
The other 48.6% percent know they're
going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess."
This is the ice cream Obama promised
us!
the government
cannot give anything to anyone
that they have not
first taken away from someone else.
Did you vote for
the ice cream?
THAT, MY FRIEND, IS HOW OBAMA GOT ELECTED,
BY THOSE WHO WANT EVERYTHING FOR FREE!
