a check. As he approaches the cashier he says, "Good
morning Ma'am, could you please cash this check for me?"
Cashier:
"It would be my pleasure sir. Could you please show me your ID?"
Obama:
"Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn't think
there was any need to. I am President Barack Obama, the
President of the United States of AMERICA !!!!"
Cashier:
"Yes sir, I know who you are, but with all the regulations
and monitoring of the banks because of impostors and
forgers and requirements of the Dodd/Frank legislation, etc.,
I must insist on seeing ID."
Obama:
Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will
tell you. Everybody knows who I am."
Cashier:
"I am sorry Mr. President but these are the bank rules
and I must follow them."
Obama:
"I am urging you, please, to cash this check."
Cashier:
"Look Mr. President, here is an example of what we can do.
One day, Tiger Woods came into the bank without ID. To
prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putter and made
a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we
knew him to be Tiger Woods and cashed his check.
Another time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled
out his tennis racquet and made a fabulous shot whereas the
tennis ball landed in my cup. With that shot we cashed his check.
So, Mr. President, what can you do to prove that it is you, and
only you, as the President of the United States?"
Obama:
Obama stands there thinking, and thinking, and finally says,
"Honestly, my mind is a total blank...there is nothing that comes
to my mind. I can't think of a single thing. I have absolutely no
idea what to do and I don't have a clue.
Cashier:
"Will that be large or small bills, Mr. President?
Thanks David !
