I met the President this morning

Well, it's not like we had an actual conversation...I shook his hand and managed to mumble something close to, "very nice to meet you sir."

I was a lucky seat-filler at a speech given by President Bush this morning about at the Chamber. Coming into work early every day finally paid off!

Wrapping up his speech


See that space between the woman in purple and the man in grey? I stuck my hand right there and reached out to shake his.

I also have a video I took during the speech- I really hope this uploads right. The highlight is in the last few seconds. I call it "Hi, Mom!"
