Presidential kittens

KittrensA 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, “Id 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 and Independents.”
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.”

This same joke was going around when Bush was president.

  1. 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 person.

    “Hi there, little girl, I’m President Palin. What do you have in the basket?” she asked.

    “Kittens,” little Suzy said.

    “How old are they?” asked Palin.

    Suzy replied, “They’re so young, their eyes aren’t even open yet.”

    “And what kind of kittens are they?”

    “Republicans,” answered Suzy with a smile.

    Sara was delighted. As soon as she returned to her car, she called her PR chief and told him about the little girl and the 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 FOX.

    Cameras and audio equipment were painstakingly set up, then Palin got out of her limo and walked over to little Suzy.

    “Hello, again,” she said, “I’d love it if you would tell all my friends out there what kind of kittens you’re giving away.”

    “Well here’s the thing:” Suzy said. “Yesterday, I mistakenly though that I understood kittens enough to be able to discern their political preference, but then I realized that cats don’t have any political power. Neither do I, being a young girl under the voting age, and also, therefore, unable to be officially associated with any political party. I also realized that imposing what I perceived their affiliations to be before they really had a chance to understand for themselves how they would politically associate was inappropriate. Being so young, I don’t have a grasp of what a republican or a democrat is, except for the heavily biased understanding that my family has imposed upon me. I almost arbitrarily assigned these kittens a religion, sexual preference, and taste in music yesterday as well, but fortunately I realized the unconstitutional nature inherent in attempting to conform others to my personal ideals through meaningless labels.”

    Taken by surprise, the president stammered, “But… but… yesterday, you told me they were REPUBLICANS.”

    Little Suzy smiled and said, “I know. But today, I have my eyes open. Metaphorically speaking.”
