In which I meet the President and smooch the First Lady

You bid too low. When Michelle agreed, you could have asked, “Really? Okay, how 'bout the lips, then? With a little tongue action?”

I’m quite jealous.

That’s why I don’t tell people how many celebs/politicos I have met in embassies. I don’t know if it really counts, now, does it?

I am soooo jealous. Except I would have kissed him, not her. :slight_smile:

So do you somehow get the photos mailed to you, or what?

I don’t know if your wife reads this board so out of respect for her and keeping the dignity of the office in mind I will not ask if you had wood.

Thank you, yet again, for showing just how classy you are, BMalion. :rolleyes: :wink:

I met Al Gore just once, in early 1988, during the New Hampshire primary campaign. I was working for the Mike Dukakis campaign at the time and was on the floor at the NH state Democratic convention. It was very crowded, I turned around, and… there was candidate Al Gore! He stuck his hand out, I automatically took it, and at a loss for anything else to say (and not wanting to wish him “Good luck,” since I was working for one of his opponents), said, “Uh… may the best man win!”

He looked at me oddly and said, “Uh… thanks!”

I met Bill Clinton both before and after he was President, but not during. Obama was the first incumbent POTUS I’ve met.

Paul in Qatar, see post 16.

So you couldn’t even ask about fisting, huh? Too bad.

There was never a lull in the conversation in which I might have introduced the topic, no.

Typical democrats.

Wow! You know the President, and I know you! :cool:

Amazing! You saw politicians at a political event! :wink:

I’m glad you had a good time.

I’m jealous. My invitation must’ve been lost in the mail or the interwebs. :wink:

Me so jealous too.

How much did it cost you?

His soul…

Not even a “terrorist fist bump”, huh?

Humph. Well, I’ve met the Lord Mayor of Dundee. So there.

[/jealous]

More than $10, less than $10 million.

4 figures or 5 figures?
