and so it continues...

Senator John McCain was talking to Natasha, the 7 year old daughter of Senator Barack Obama and his wife Michele, at a recent debate. Senator McCain asked Natasha what she wanted to be when she grew up and she told him she wanted to be President of the United States some day.

Senator Obama, obviously beaming with pride, winked at Senator McCain.

Senator McCain asked Natasha - "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?"

Natasha replied - "I would give houses to all the homeless people."

"Wow - what a worthy goal you have there, Natasha." Senator McCain told her.

Senator McCain continued, "Natasha you do know you don't have to wait until you're President to help the homeless. You can come over to Cindy and my house and clean up all the dog poop in my back yard and I will pay you $5 dollars. Then we can go over to that liquor store where those homeless guys hang out, and you can give one of them the $5 dollars to use toward a new house."

Natasha (obviously wise beyond her 7 years) thought that over for a second, while Senator Obama and his wife Michele looked over at Senator McCain seething.

Natasha replied, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and clean up the dog poop in your back yard and you can just pay him the $5 dollars?"

"Welcome to the Republican Party young lady", responded Senator McCain.
