Was just walking by the White House today...
and I looked over and ... well... there it was. The White House.
When did I become the guy that walked past the White House on the way to work...and well, almost didn't notice?
The door was standing open, too. Say what you want about intelligence errors, security issues, federal waste of money etc., and a lot of that I agree with. But we still live in a pretty amazing country.
In the middle of a war, terror attacks around the world, and a hundred other things, and free of molestation or even inquiry from a single guard of any kind, I'm walking by the home of the President. And the doors are even open. I coulda put a Titleist in the Roosevelt Room with a pitching wedge.
Someone more articulate than me can probably explain it better, but I walked to work today exceedingly proud to be an American.
