Barack Obama was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the president if he would like to lead the discussion on the word tragedy. So our illustrious president asked the class for an example of a'tragedy.'

One little boy stood up and offered:

'If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in

the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him that

would be a tragedy..'

'No,' said Obama, 'that would be an accident.'

A little girl raised her hand: 'If a school bus carrying 50 children
drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.

I'm afraid not,' explained Obama.
'That's what we would call great loss.'

The room went silent. No other children volunteered.
Obama searched the room.

'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'

Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. In a
quiet voice he said:

'If the plane carrying you and Mrs. Obama was struck by a 'friendly
fire' missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy.'

'Fantastic!' exclaimed Obama. ' That's right.
And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?'

'Well,' says Little Johnny,
'It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great
loss... and it probably wouldn't be an accident either.'
 
O yeah, My daughter has him in her class, When Obama was elected they had the kids in the library, they were letting the kids ask questions, (the whole 3rd and 4th grade was there)

So there friend Logan raises his hand, Stands up and said... "I dont think the White house will look good painted black"

I swear to you, this is not made up, Little Johnny is in their class!
