President Obama gets a gift from Yogi Berra
Politico ^ | 8/26/10 | Kiki Ryan

On Wednesday afternoon, a pool report from the President’s vacation in Martha’s Vineyard contained a line about POTUS taking an envelope from an unidentified man.

“One man, standing at the edge of the yellow police tape, handed POTUS something (it looked like a maroon 8.5x11 folder but pool was too far away to tell.) POTUS looked at it, then handed it to Nicholson [Obama’s trip director],” read the report.

So who was the man, and what was in the envelope?

” Berra wrote “Dear Mr. President, He was out!” and signed his name in blue pen. “

I’m surprised The Won accepted Yogi’s gift with that inscription on it.

Probably someone had to explain to Obama who Yogi Berra is.

"Remember the Aflac commercials where the guy is in a barber shop getting his hair cut and what he's saying doesn't quite make sense? That's Yogi Berra. Haven't seen that commercial? Well, anyway he was a really famous baseball player years ago. Yogi Bear the cartoon character was named for him."

“Murro said the president then began to walk away until Murro told him that he had a gift for him from Yogi Berra. This prompted Obama to “perk-up” and turn around in curiosity and ask, “What do we have?,” according to Murro.”

Yogi Berra, Mr. President. Yogi Berra. Not Yogi Bear.

Some years ago I was walking home from dinner in Alexandria, Virginia one evening. As I crossed the street, something shiny on the pavement caught my eye.

It was, literally, a fork in the road.

No, I didn’t take it. :-)

He was expecting the gift to be a picnic basket.
