BREAKING NEWS! Mitt Romney touches a black person.

It happened in my neck of the woods today. Flipper, while visiting a charter school, actually pressed flesh with some little black children. Of course this is something you would not have seen while the republican primary was in full effect. If you did see it, Flipper would never have been the republican candidate for president of these divided states.

So anyway, as he continues to draw lines on his Etch A Sketch, Flipper's I am just a normal centrist tour continues. Believe it or not, in America, normal people want to relate to little black children. And Americans like to see that type of thing from their leaders; it shows that they are empathetic and caring. American independents have always had a soft spot for you Negroes, and now that Flipper is trying to get their vote, hanging out in a West Philly charter school with a bunch of school kids makes for a wonderful photo opportunity. You are a long way from Utah, Flipper.  

Of course,as is to be expected, it wasn't all a bed of roses for Flipper. Some of you Negroes were out there giving him an earful. -I guess you remembered all the stuff that went down in the republican primary.- You told him, in no uncertain terms, that his Pollyanna view of education reform just won't work in  the real world, and that class sizes do matter. I hate to break it to you Negroes, but Flipper didn't hear a word you said.

Still, I am glad to report that Flipper made it out of West Philly in one piece, and I am sure that the photos all made it out as well.

Those little kids might not be able to relate to Flipper like the little boy in this picture with his Oness, but hey, at least one day they can say that they were a line on an Etch A Sketch  board.
