Barack Obama is out jogging one morning, notices a little boy on the corner with a box. Curious, he runs over to the child and says, “What’s in the box, kid?” The little boy says, “Kittens, they’re brand new kittens.” Barack Obama laughs and says, “What kind of kittens are they?” “Democrats,” the child says. “Oh, that’s cute,” Barack Obama says and he runs off. A couple of days later, Barack Obama is running with his buddy Ted Kennedy and he spies the same boy with his box just ahead. Barack says to Ted, “You got to check this out,” and they both jog over to the boy with the box. Barack says, “Look in the box Ted, isn’t that cute? Look at those little kittens. Hey, kid, tell my friend Ted what kind of kittens they are.” The boy replies, “They’re Republicans.”
“Whoa!” Barack says, “I came by here the other day and you said they were Democrats. What’s up?” “Well,” the kid says, “Their eyes are open now.”
