YES, I did!!! I met the President of the United States last night. It was a reception at the White House for staff. I shook hands with President and Michelle Obama and got my picture taken with them!!! When I get it I will attempt to post it to -unless there is some reason not to (secrety, secrety stuff?)
If you have never me the President...not just this one, but any President (which I have not). I was held up many times by President George W.'s motorcade in Waco, but never closer than that. It is like meeting a celebrity, rock star etc. I wanted to have some thing witty to say when I got up to him/her, but NOPE - deer in the headlights : D. Four Star General Officers in the military have the same effect on my - I don't know if it is the power or what? So I don't know why I thought I would be able to form words in this situation.
I don't care about your political position, the Obama's are very nice and gracious hosts. The White House (section that I was in) was absolutely fabulous!!! It is decorated to the hilt and so ginormous! I met lots of wonderful people and had great food!!! I just had to share - it is a once in a life time experience for me!!! : D.
