The
Dinner Roll ... Once upon a time I was invited to the White House for a private
dinner with the President.
I am a respected businessman, with a factory that produces memory
chips for computers and portable electronics. There was some talk that my
industry was being scrutinized by the administration, but I paid it no mind. I
live in a FREE country.
There's nothing that the government can do to me if I've broken no
laws. My wealth was EARNED honestly, and an invitation to dinner with an
American President is an honor.
I checked my coat, was greeted by the Chief of Staff, and joined
the President in a yellow dining room. We sat across from each other at a table
draped in white linen. The Great Seal was embossed on the china. Uniformed
staff served our dinner.
The meal was served, and I was startled when my waiter suddenly
reached out, plucked a dinner roll off my plate and began nibbling it as he
walked back to the kitchen..
"Sorry 'bout that," said the President. "Andrew is
very hungry." "I don't appreciate..." I began, but as I looked
into the calm brown eyes across from me, I felt immediately guilty and petty.
It was just a dinner roll. "Of course," I concluded, and reached for
my glass.
Before I could, however, another waiter reached forward, took the
glass away and swallowed the wine in a single gulp. "And his brother,
Eric, is very thirsty," said the President.
I didn't say anything. The president is testing my compassion, I
thought. I withheld my comments and decided to play along. I didn't want to
seem unkind.
My plate was whisked away before I had tasted a bite.
"Eric's children are also quite hungry."
With a lurch, I crashed to the floor. my chair had been pulled out
from under me. "And their grandmother can't stand for long."
I excused myself, smiling outwardly, but inside feeling like a
fool.
Obviously I had been invited to the White House to be sport for
some game. I reached for my coat, only to find it had been taken. I turned back
to the President.
"Their grandfather doesn't like the cold."
I wanted to shout,"that was my coat!" But again, I
looked at the placid smiling face of my host and decided I was being a poor
sport. I spread my hands helplessly and chuckled.
Then I felt my hip pocket and realized my wallet was gone. I
excused myself and walked to a phone on an elegant side table.
I learned shortly that my credit cards had been maxed out, my bank
accounts emptied, my retirement and equity portfolios had vanished and my wife
had been thrown out of our home.
Apparently, the waiters and their families were moving in. The
President hadn't moved or spoken as I learned all this, but finally I lowered
the phone and turned to face him.
He said, "Andrew's whole family has made bad financial
decisions. They haven't planned for retirement and they need a home. They
recently defaulted on a subprime mortgage. I told them they could have your
home. They need it more than you do."
My hands were shaking. I felt faint as I stumbled back to the
table and collapsed on the floor.
The President cheerfully ate his steak and drank his wine.
"By the way," he said, "I have just signed an
Executive Order
nationalizing your factories. I'm firing you as head of your
business. I'll be operating the firm now for the benefit of all mankind.
"There's a whole bunch of Erics and Andrews out there, and they can't come
to you for jobs, groveling like beggars... We need to spread YOUR wealth
around..."
I looked up. The President drained the last drops of wine. As the
table was cleared, he lit a cigarette and leaned back in his chair.
He stared at me. I clung to the edge of the table as if it were a
ledge and I were a man hanging over an abyss.
I thought of the years behind me, of the life I had lived. The
life I
had earned with a lifetime of work, risk and struggle. Why was I punished? How
had I allowed it to be taken? What game had I played and lost? I looked across
the table and noticed with some surprise that there was no game board between
us.
What had I done wrong?
As if answering the unspoken thought, President Obama suddenly
cocked his head, locked his empty eyes to mine, and bared a million teeth,
chuckling wryly as he folded his hands.
"You should have stopped me at the dinner roll."
