The first Jewish President of the United States has been inaugurated, and the first Jewish holiday that follows is Chanukah. So he calls up his mother to invite her to the White House for Chanukah. Their conversation goes something like this:
Prez: Mom, with Chanukah being the first holiday after my inauguration, I want you to celebrate it with us at the White House.
Mom: Oh, I don't know. I'll have to get to the airport and...
Prez: Mom! I'm the President of the United States! I'll send for a limo to take you right to the airport!
Mom: OK, but when I get to the airport, I'll have to wait on the line to check my baggage. Oh, it will be so difficult for me.
Prez: Mom, don't worry about standing on lines or any of that. I'm the most powerful person in the world. I'm the President. I'll send Air Force One for you!
Mom: Well, OK. But when I get to Washington, I'll have to find a cab and...
Prez: Mom, please! I'll have a helicopter waiting for you. It will bring you right to the White House lawn!!!
Mom: Well, yeah. But where will I stay? Can I get a hotel room...
Prez: Mom, we have this whole big White House! There will be plenty of room! Please do join us, won’t you? Mom: Ok, I'll be there.
Two seconds later, she calls her friend: Mom: Hello, Sadie! Guess what? I'm spending Chanukah at my son's house!
Sadie: Oh, the doctor?
Mom: No, the other one.
