The Tortoise( People) and the Obama Hare

Once upon a time there was a President(Obama) who, boasting how he could run faster than anyone else, was forever teasing the People for their slowness in agreeing with “His” mandates. Then one day, the irate People answered back: "Who do you think you are? There's no denying you're swift, but even you can be beaten!" The President squealed with laughter.
"Beaten in a race? By whom? Not you, surely! “I” bet there's nobody in the world that can win against “me,” “I'm” so speedy. Now, why don't you try?"
Annoyed by such bragging, the People accepted the challenge. A course was planned, and the Election of 2010 and 2012 at dawn they stood at the starting line. The President yawned sleepily as the meek People trudged slowly off. When the President saw how painfully slow his rival was, he decided, half asleep on his feet, to have a quick nap. "Take your time!" he said. "I'll have forty winks and catch up with you in a minute."
The President woke with a start from a fitful sleep and gazed round, looking for the People. But the creature was only a short distance away, having barely covered a third of the course. Breathing a sigh of relief, the President decided he might as well have breakfast too, and off he went to Copenhagen some caviar he had noticed in a nearby International country. But the heavy meal and the hot sun made his eyelids droop. With a careless glance at the People, now halfway along the course, he decided to have another snooze before flashing past the winning post. And smiling at the thought of the look on the People's face when it saw the President speed by, he fell fast asleep and was soon snoring happily. The sun started to sink, below the horizon, and the People, who had been plodding towards the winning post since morning, was scarcely a yard from the finish. At that very point, the President woke with a jolt. He could see the People a speck in the distance and away he dashed. He leapt and bounded at a great rate, his tongue lolling, and gasping for breath. Just a little more and he'd be first at the finish. But the President's last leap was just too late, for the People had beaten him to the winning post. Poor Obama Hare! Tired and in disgrace, he slumped down beside the People who was silently smiling at him.
"Slowly does it every time!" the People said.
The Election of 2010 is Just around the Corner we may have the lost this battle but we have not Lost the War. You will lose the House and The Senate. Obama Hare we will see you in 2012 and make sure you can no longer hurt this Country.
