Barack Obama tires of the pressures in the White House, and goes outside for a smoke. As he’s standing by the front gate, a homeless man comes past and asks for a twenty.

“I really have no money on me now,” says Obama. “Try the soup kitchen on 6th and Jefferson.”

“God bless,” says the homeless guy.

“And to you,” says Obama, finishes his Marlboro (Light, because Michelle nagged) him, and goes back to the White House.
