THE BEST EXPLANATION I HAVE SEEN ONWHY
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.
The day arrived when they were to make their speeches.
Jamie went
first.He had specific ideas about how to make
our class a betterplace. He ended by promising to do his very best.Everyone applauded and he sat down.
Now it 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 the ice cream. Jamie
was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide.
Every
time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and52 percent of the people reacted like nine year
olds.They want ice cream.The other 48 percent know
they are going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess."
Sparboe Farms issued the following clarification regarding the previously announced recall of shell eggs supplied by Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms. One additional brand is linked to this recall associated with possible Salmonella contamination.
The Hartz Mountain Corporation is voluntarily recalling one specific lot of Hartz Naturals Real Beef Treats for Dogs due to concerns that one or more bags within the lot may have been potentially contaminated with Salmonella. Hartz is fully cooperating with the US Food and Drug Administration in this voluntary recall.
Real Taste Noodle Manufacture of Chicago, IL is recalling bags of Egg Noodle (5lbs per bag, 10 bags per case), because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
