A man can still have hope can’t he?

The Patriot Post published a wonderful joke yesterday. The title of the email was “Humor: Meeting the president”. The gist of the joke is that an old man sitting on a park bench across the street from the white house crossed the street one late January morning in 2012 and asked the marine’s at the gate to let him in to see President Obama and one of the marines told him kindly that Barack Obama wasn’t president anymore. This continued for three days in a row and the marines were becoming frustrated with the old man who didn’t seem to be getting the message.
On the third day in a row the man asked for the third time and the marine told him that he had been saying for the last three days that Barack Obama wasn’t president anymore, and the old man replied that he knew that – he just loved hearing it.
I wonder – if there’s really a park bench sitting across the street from the white house gates how many old men will be sitting there with me starting on January 20, 2012.
I could really use some hope and change. A new president and a new Congress that honors the constitution and respects the principles of individual liberty is what I hope for. That would really be a change.

 | I think anything as useful to the needs of The People as a park bench would be nowhere in the vicinity of the White House, nowadays... (But in 2012, I could well be that old man, hanging around the vicinity White House to be labeled a "Right Wing Terrorist" or some such for harassing the poor Marines that way.) |

 | I like this one, especially since I'm falling asleep and can use this to my advantage while dreaming. |
