"President" Bush 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 the illustrious leader 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 Bush, "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 the president. "That's what we would
call great loss."

The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Bush
searched the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an
Example of a tragedy?"

Finally at the back of the room a small boy raised his hand...In a
quiet voice he said: "If Air Force One carrying you and Mrs. Bush
was struck by a "friendly fire" missile and blown to smithereens, that
would be a tragedy."

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

"Well," says the boy, "It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly
wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be a f&&king
accident either".

oh my- I wonder if there are people out there who would now insert President Obama's name in for Bush- probably so
