>
> He asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient
> government? What tips can you give to me?"
>
>
> "Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround
> yourself with intelligent people."
>
>
> Obama frowned, and then asked, "But how do I know the people
> around are really intelligent?"
>
>
> The Queen took a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them
> to answer an intelligent riddle."
>
>
>
> The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony
> Blair in here, would you?"
>
>
> Tony Blair walked into the room and said, "Yes, Your Majesty?"
>
>
> The Queen smiled and said, "Answer me this please, Tony, your
> mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is
> not your sister.
>
>
> Who is it?"
>
> Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answered, "That would
> be me."
>
> "Yes! Very good," said the Queen.
>
>
> Obama went back home to ask Joe Biden, his vice presidential
> choice the same question. "Joe, answer this for me. Your mother
> and your father have a child.
>
> It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"
>
>
> "I'm not sure," said Biden. "Let me get back to you on that
> one." He went to his advisors and asked every one, but none
> could give him an answer
>
>
> Finally, Biden ran into Sarah Palin out eating one night. Biden
> asked, "Sarah, can you answer this for me? Your mother and
> father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister.
> Who is it?"
>
>
> Sarah Palin answered right back, "That's easy, it's me!"
>
>
> Biden smiled, and said, "Thanks!" Then, he went back to speak
> with Obama. "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to
> that riddle. It's Sarah Palin!"
>
> Obama got up, stomped over to Biden, and angrily yelled into his
> face, "No! You idiot! It's Tony Blair!"
>
>
>
> AND THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE WHITE HOUSE …
