HILARIOUS!!

The Riddle (can you get it right ?)

    If this were NASA, it would be "" HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM."

  >>          Barack Obama met with the Queen of England.
>>
>>            He asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient
government?
>>            Are there any tips you can 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 me  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, he 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 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 WITH OUR FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IN WASHINGTON , D.C
