Subject: FW: One sunny day in 2009

One sunny day in 2009, 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 Barack Obama.'

The Marine replied, 'Sir, Mr. Obama 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 Barack Obama'.

The Marine again told the man, 'Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama 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 Barack
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 several times that Mr. Obama 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, Sir!"

Theres' a story we are about to tell. I've spent half my time on this
world dissing Marines and the other half thanking them for their dedication.

Not to be pedantic but the white house police are civilians, not
marines. Marines guard embassies and some naval facilities.
Ironically they also guard NSA which is actually on an army base.
Maybe NSA knows something else they aren't telling us.
I know on my trip into the bowels of NSA one night I have never been
as sure a guard would shoot me as I was at NSA. None of this empty
magazine well .45 stuff there. He was cocked and locked, staying
within arm's length of me all the time.


It was a joke.
