An old man goes to the White House...
One sunny day in 2005 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 Bush."

The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr.
Bush 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 Bush." The
Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said
yesterday, Mr. Bush 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
Bush."

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. Bush. I've told you already that Mr.
Bush 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."

MAKE IT HAPPEN -- VOTE and get others to vote, too.
