A Nice Flash ForwardMarch 21, 2011Contributed by a Concerned Citizen One sunny day in January, 2013 an old man approaches the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He speaks to the U.S. Marine standing guard and says, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama." The Marine looks at the man and says, "Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer president and no longer resides here." The old man says, "Okay," and walks away. The following day, the same man approaches the White House and says to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama." The Marine again tells the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is no longer president and no longer resides here." The man thanks him and, again, just walks away. The third day, the same man approaches the White House and speaks to the very same U.S. Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama." The old man looks at the Marine and says, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing you say it." The Marine paused for a couple of seconds, then snaps to attention, salutes, and says, "See you tomorrow, Sir!"
