ONE SUNNY DAY IN 2009, AN OLD MAN APPROACHED THE WHITE HOUSE FROM ACROSS
PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE , WHERE HE'D BEEN SITTING ON A PARK BENCH.
He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, I would like to go in
and meet with President Barack Obama.
The Marine replied, Sir, Mr. Obama is not President and doesn't reside
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 Barack Obama .
The Marine again told the man, Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is
not President and doesn't reside here. The man thanked him and again
walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the
very same Marine, saying I would like to go in and meet with President
Barack Obama
.
The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the m an 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 several times that Mr. Obama
is not the President and doesn't reside here. Don't you understand?
The old man answered, 'Oh, I understand you fine. I just love hearing
your answer !!!! '
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, 'See you tomorrow.'
