Laugh IT Out: Damned Democrats

Damned Democrats

A little boy wanted a bicycle very badly, but was told he couldn't have it because it would cost $100, and the family just didn't couldn't afford that in this bad economy.

He prayed for weeks, but nothing happened, so he decided God just couldn't hear his tiny little voice, so he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100.

When the postal authorities received the letter to "God, USA", they decided to send it to the President. And sure enough, it was one of the sample letters that reached President Obama's inbox.

The president was so touched that he put a $5 bill in the envelope and sent it to the little boy. The president thought that this would appear to be a lot of money to such a young child.

The little boy was delighted with the $5 bill and sat down to write a thank-you note to God:

Dear God,

Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you sent it through Washington D.C., and those damned Democrats took $95 in taxes.

"Roll out a plan constantly evaluated to ensure that the objectives by which the plan was introduced are meet by the implementation of the plan and if the plan doesn't meet through its implementation the objectives of what it was outlined to do that that plan might be augmented to meet those objectives." - Robert Gibbs, March 23, 2009


Let's see you diagram that sentence.
