Last Tuesday President Obama got off the helicopter in front of the White House carrying a baby piglet under each arm.

The squared-away Marine guard snapped to attention, saluted, and said,

"Nice pigs, sir."

The President replied, "These are not pigs. These are authentic Arkansas razorbacks. I got one for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and I got one for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi."

The squared-away Marine again snapped to attention, saluted, and said,

"Excellent trade, sir."
