Politics explained

I told my son, "You will marry the girl I choose."

He said, "NO!"

I said, "She's Bill Gates' daughter."

He said, "OK."

I called Bill Gates and told him, "I want my son to marry your daughter."

He said, "NO."

I told Bill Gates, "My son is the CEO of the World Bank."

Bill Gates said, "OK."

I called the President of the World Bank and asked him to make my son the CEO.

He said, "NO."

I told him, "My son is Bill Gates' son-in-law."

He said, "OK."

And THAT, my friends, is exactly

 how the political system works.
