A little girl named Suzy was standing on the sidewalk in front of her home. Next to her was a basket with 11 newborn kittens. In her hand was a sign that read "FREE KITTENS!"

Suddenly a line of black cars pulled up beside her. Out of the lead car stepped a tall, grinning man.

"Hello there little girl, I'm President Obama. What do you have in the basket?" he asked.

"Kittens," little Suzy said.

"How old are they?" asked Obama.

Suzy replied, "They're so young, their eyes aren't even open yet."

"And what kind of kitties are they?"

"Democrats," Suzy coyly answered with a smile.

President Obama was delighted. As soon as he returned to his car, he called his PR chief and told him about the little girl and the kittens.

Recognizing the perfect photo op, the two men agreed that the President should return the next day, and, in front of the assembled media, have the girl talk about her kittens.

So the next day, Suzy was again standing on the sidewalk with her basket of "FREE KITTENS" when the Presidential motorcade pulled up, this time followed by vans from ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and a pear-shaped man from MSNBC who spent his time screaming.

Cameras and audio equipment were quickly set up and President Obama got out of his limo and walked over to little Suzy.

"Hello, again," he said, "I'd love it if you would tell all my friends here what kind of kittens you're giving away."

"Yes sir," Suzy said. "They're Republicans."

Taken by surprise, the President stammered, "But....but....yesterday, you told me they were DEMOCRATS."

Suzy smiled and said, "I know, but today they have their eyes wide open."

From Rasmussen: Obama down 19% in strongly disapprove over strongly approve--his worst showing yet. In the generic ballot Republicans lead 9%. Although if Scott Brown continues to be a Massachusetts Republican he'll undo the good work that his election did and no more Democrats will decide, like Senator Bayh, "to pursue other interests" and not run for reelection.
