So?

Today is President Bush’s 62nd birthday. The AP reports that White House staff celebrated the birthday aboard Air Force One, where they presented Bush with the gift of a “wooden box“:
The party for birthday on Sunday was informal; the gift was not. The staff presented him with a wooden box made from a giant oak tree that fell on the White House lawn in 2007. Some of the wood from the tree, planted by Benjamin Harrison’s daughter in 1892, had been sent to Texas to be fashioned into a box about 12-by-18 inches. They filled it with notes and cards from members of his senior staff

Notice how only Bush's staff wished him happy B day. Bill Clinton has well wishes from all over the World and millions of Americans who celebrated his birthday. Now to the box. Hint hint the box was empty and that says it all only the staff had to put notes in it to cover up the real meaning.
One sunny day in 2009 an old man approached the White House from across
Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush."
The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here."
The old man said, "Okay" and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush."
The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here."
The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the
very same U. S. Marine, saying
"I would like to go in and meet with President Bush."
The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said,
"Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak
to Mr. Bush. I've told you already that Mr. Bush is no longer the president and no
longer resides here. Don't you understand?"
The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand it. I just love hearing it."
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow sir."
A friend of Mama's pointed out that Jessica Simpson's birthday is the 10th, and wondered if there was anything connecting astrology and intelligence (or the lack of it) as a joke.
I didn't know Mama was so interested in Jessica Simpson's birthday. Is Mama really Amy Winehouse? ;-)
