Old Marine

One sunny day in January, 2013, an old retired Marine 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.
