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 a gain 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 just fine, I just love hearing
your answer!"

The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow sir."

Let's hope the answer from the Marine stays the same for many years to come!
