He's the President, not our father.

I recall years ago reading an anecdote about Eisenhower. After giving a speech not long after he was reelected, a young man asked Eisenhower that, as president, what was he going to do to help him get a job. Eisenhower gave the man a puzzled look and said, "Nothing son. I am the president. I am not your father." Not satisfied with that answer, I imagine the young man voted for JFK in the next election.
