NEW KITTENS

A pretty little girl named Suzy was standing on the
sidewalk in front of her home. Next to her was a
basket containing a number tiny creatures; in her
hand was a sign announcing FREE KITTENS.

Suddenly a line of big black cars pulled up beside her.
Out of the lead car stepped a tall, grinning man.

"Hi there, little girl, I'm President Obama.
What do you have in the basket?" he asked.

"Kittens," little Suzy said.

"How old are they?" asked Obama.

Suzy replied,
"They're so young, their eyes aren't even open yet."

"And what kind of kittens are they?"

"Democrats," answered Suzy with a smile.

Obama was delighted. As soon as he returned to
his car, he called his PR chief and told him about
the little girl and the kittens.

Recognizing the perfect photo op, the two men
agreed that the president should return the next day,
and, in front of the assembled media, have the girl
talk about her discerning kittens.

So the next day, Suzy was again standing on the
sidewalk with her basket of "FREE KITTENS"
when another motorcade pulled up, this time
followed by vans from ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN.

Cameras and audio equipment were quickly set up,
then Obama got out of his limo and walked over to little Suzy.
"Hello, again," he said, "I'd love it if you would tell all my friends
out there what kind of kittens you're giving away."

"Yes sir," Suzy said. "They're Republicans."

Taken by surprise, the president stammered,
"But... but... yesterday, you told me they were
DEMOCRATS."

Little Suzy smiled and said, "I know.
But today, they have their eyes open."
