One sunny day in 2008, 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 Hillary Clinton." The Marine replied, "Sir, Mrs.
Clinton 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 Hillary Clinton". The Marine again told the man,
"Sir, as I said yesterday, Mrs. Clinton 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 Hillary Clinton." 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 Mrs. Clinton. I've told you
already several times that Mrs.
Clinton 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."
