ELECTIONS ELECTIONS ELECTIONS

A little over three years ago we were in fever pitch campaigning to see which "Person" would be our new President, and leader of the free World. 52% of the voters with something to gain got their wish!  They have not realized yet how they were fooled and how they still get fooled.


THE COW AND THE ICE CREAM

ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS OF WHY OBAMA WON THE ELECTION
AND WHY HE MAY DO IT AGAIN.

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 third grade this year...the teacher related.

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 and he sat down.

Now is 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. 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 52 percent of the people reacted like nine year olds. They want ice cream. The other 48 percent know they're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess.


This is the ice cream Obama promised us!
Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone that they have not first taken away from someone else.


Well, the Cow went dry and then died.  All that was left was the BULL, and that's what he has tried to feed us the last 44 months, that's right "THE BULL S**T"
