Barack Obama was seated next to a little girl on an airplane trip back
to Washington. He turned to her and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that
flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow
passenger."
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said
to The Obama, "What would you like to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the Obama. "How about What Changes I Should
Make To America?" and he smiles.
"OK," she says. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you
a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff -
grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat
patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose
that is?"
Obama, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about
it for a second and finally says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to
change America when you don't know shit?"
