Political joke

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost.
She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below.
She shouted to him,


"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would
meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."


The man consulted his portable GPS and replied,
"You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet
above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level.
You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and
100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.


"She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."


"I am," replied the man.. "How did you know?"


"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is
technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your
information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help
to me."


The man smiled and responded,
"You must be an Obama Democrat."


"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"


"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you
are or where you are going. You've risen to where you are,
due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you
have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve
your problem. You're in exactly the same position you
were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."

Ten years ago in this joke the guy in the balloon was a manager (who didn't know where he was going and it was someone else's fault) and the guy on the ground was an engineer (technical answers, didn't help at all).
