Last Tuesday, as President Obama got off the helicopter in front of the White House: he was carrying a baby piglet under each arm. The squared away Marine guard snaps to attention, salutes, and says: "nice pigs, sir."

The President replies "These are not pigs these are authentic Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton and I got one for Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi."

The Marine again snaps to attention, salutes, and says, "Excellent trade, sir."

If only we could.
