One sunny day in January, 2013 an old man
approached the White House from across
Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a
park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing
guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet
with President Obama."
The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr.
Obama is no longer President and no longer
resides here."
The old man said, "Okay", and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the
White House and said to the same Marine, "I would
like to go in and meet with President Obama."
The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said
yesterday, Mr. Obama is no longer president and no
longer resides here."
The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White
House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine,
saying "I would like to go in and meet with
President Obama"
The Marine, understandably agitated at this point,
looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the
third day in a row you have been here asking to
speak to Mr.
Obama. I've told you already that Mr. Obama is no
longer the President and no longer resides here.
Don't you understand?"
The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I
understand. I just love hearing it."
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and
said, "See you tomorrow, Sir."
