The first Jewish president was elected in the United States.
He calls his mother in Florida and says, “I can’t wait to see you at the inauguration.”
His mother replies,”I don’t know flying is such a pain these days.”
The president replies, “Mom, you’ll be flying on Air Force One.”
His mother replies, “Yeah, but then I have to find a cab at the airport.”
The president replies, “Mom, you’ll be arriving in the presidential limo.”
His mother replies, “Yea,h but what kind of hotel rooms are available on such a busy day?”
The president replies,”Mom, you’ll be staying in Lincoln’s Bedroom.”
The mother finally agrees and is sitting in the front row at the inauguration. As her son is being sworn in, she turns to the vice president sitting next to her. “You see that man on the stage with his hand on the Bible?”
“Yes,” the VP replies.
The mother says, “his brother is a doctor.”
Explanation: The humor comes from the classic stereotype of a Jewish mother’s pride. Despite her son achieving the highest office in the country, she still boasts about his brother being a doctor—implying that, in her eyes, that’s the real accomplishment!
