One sunny day in 2009, an old man approached the White
House from across Pennsylvnia Avenue , where he had 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 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 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, SIR!
