Little Johnny does it again!    What is a tragedy?         President  Barack Obama was visiting a primary school and he visited one of  the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to  words and their meanings. The teacher asked the president if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy.' So our illustrious democrat president asked the class  for an example of a 'tragedy.' One little  boy stood up and offered: 'If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy.' 'No,' said Obama, 'that  would be an accident.' A little girl raised her hand:  'If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.'  'I'm  afraid not,' explained Obama. 'That's what we would call great  loss.' The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Obama searched the room. 'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?' Finally at  the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said: 'If the plane carrying you and Mrs. Obama was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy.' 'Fantastic!' exclaimed Obama. 'That's right. And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?' 'Well,' says the boy, 'It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss...and it probably wouldn't be an accident either.'
