The President went fishing with his wife, the first Lady.
On the way they met a farmer on his donkey.
Upon seeing the President the farmer said,
"Mr President, you should return to the White House at once because in just a short time I expect a huge amount of rain to fall in this area".
The President was polite and considerate, he replied:
"I hold the White House meteorologist in high regard.
He is an extensively educated and experienced professional.
And besides, I pay him very high wages.
He gave me a very different forecast.
I trust him and I will continue on my way."
So the President and the first lady continued on their way.
However, a short time later torrential rain fell from the sky.
The President and his wife were totally soaked and their entourage chuckled upon seeing them in such a shameful condition.
Furious, the president returned to the White House and gave the order to fire the professional forecaster.
Then he summoned the farmer and offered him the prestigious and high paying role of royal forecaster.
The farmer said,
"Mr President, I do not know anything about forecasting.
I obtain my information from my donkey.
If I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain."
So the President hired the donkey.

... And thus began the practice of hiring dumb ***** to work in the government and occupy its highest and most influential positions.
And the practice is unbroken to this day.

I read this somewhere and on the rebound; is more tantalizing….

Which president?
Barack? He’s what he eats: beef n pork: power n sex..
If he went for fish maybe, some brains..

George Bush: An accidental President: yeah, if he caught, he caught; else Jeb would do it..,

Clinton: He’s original the follower: told the gals: “I will make ye fishers of men” Hillary, his masterpiece ..

George Bush Sr.? ok, yeah; may be. Kuwait, Iraq; fisherman, alright..




Makes sense finally; a donkey trusting other donkeys...
