President Obama was trying something different and was flying commercial. He was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when he turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.'
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to President Obama, 'What would you like to talk about?'
'Oh, I don't know,' the President replied. 'How about a new health care program?' and he smiled at her
.

The President, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'
To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss a new health care program when you don't know s**t?
