How 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 third 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.
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 PAY, PAY & PAY  to feed the cow and  EVENTUALLY  (hopefully) be able clean up the mess.”

Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone —
that they have not first taken away from someone else.

HOW TO REVERSE THIS TREND & MAKE SURE IT DOESN’T  HAPPEN AGAIN   (This will  require the “TEACHERS”, at all levels of our educational system and the MAJORITY  OF  the  people that call themselves “JOURNALISTS”   to understand how the “PROGRESSIVE”  philosophy of OBAMA and the LEFT IS DESTROYING AMERICA.   Will it happen?)  Stay Tuned………….. SO FAR JOURNALISM IS DEAD AND THE TEACHERS UNIONS RULE…………………………………………………………………………

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. 

That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. 

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. 

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. 
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.

As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. 

It is real simple

Remember, there is a mid-term election in 2010!
