bama Goes to Bank of America

President Obama walks into the Bank of America and says to the cashier, “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 PHOTO 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. Cashier: “Yes, sir, I know who you are, but with all the government regulations, monitoring of the banks because of terrorists, imposters and forgers, etc., I must insist on seeing your ID.

Obama: “Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everyone knows who I am!” Cashier: “I am sorry, but these are government and bank rules, and I must follow them. Obama: “I am urging you, please cash this check.

Cashier: “Look, this is what we can do: One day Phil Mickelson came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Phil Mickelson, he pulled out his putting iron and made a beautiful shot across the bank lobby into a cup. With that shot, we know him to be Phil Mickelson, and we cashed his check.

Cashier: “Another time, Roger Federer came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racket and served an ace shot directly into the center of our bank logo 90 feet away. With that shot we cashed his check. So, what can you do to prove that it is you, and only you?”

President Obama stood there thinking and thinking, and finally says, “Honestly, nothing comes to mind. I can’t think of a single thing I can do.” Cashier: “Will that be large or small bills, Mr. President?”
