George W. Bush was thrilled at finally being able to
spend his first
night in the White House, but something very strange
happened. On the
very first night, he was awakened by George
Washington's ghost. Bush
asked the ghost, "President Washington, what is the
best thing I could
do to help the country?"

"Set an honest and honorable example, just as I did,"
advised
Washington.

With all the excitement of the White House, Bush still
couldn't sleep
well, and then, later on that night, the ghost of
Thomas Jefferson moved
through the dark bedroom. "Tom, what is the best thing
I could do to
help the country?" Bush asked.

"Cut taxes and reduce the size of the government,"
Jefferson answered.
Bush still couldn't sleep well, and much later he saw
another ghostly
figure moving in the shadows.

It was Abraham Lincoln's ghost.

"Abe, what is the best thing I could do to help the
country?" Bush
asked.

Lincoln replied, "Go see a play."
