THE COW AND THE ICE CREAM

 ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS

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 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 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.

I initiated the discussion that followed.

"How did you 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 that

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.

Did you vote for the ice cream?

THAT, MY FRIEND, IS HOW OBAMA GOT ELECTED 

AND HOW HILLARY MAY GET ELECTED
