My state either. I guess it's a sure bet that we'll never go blue, so we tend to get skipped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-156256 Fri, 11 May 2012 18:22:24 +0000 eeh 156256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm Presidents don't seem to make it out to Kansas much so no meetings here. We don't seem to be a very important state politically speaking.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-156253 Fri, 11 May 2012 18:19:29 +0000 chopsuey 156253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I met both Clintons my jr. year of high school in Ohio!<br /> Got pictures with both (at different events) and got to shake their hands! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-156249 Fri, 11 May 2012 18:18:16 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 156249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, Honeybee... Hold on to your hat, but my friend's son drew the Obama logo and when Airforce 1 landed, He was able to get his drawing signed by the President. I mean how cool is that!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-156067 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:01:33 +0000 lilteacherbee 156067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but my sister did when Obama went to her college to speak a couple weeks ago.</p> <p>A teacher I work with has been up close and personal with the Obama's because her husband used to be on the Secret Service! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-156049 Fri, 11 May 2012 14:50:21 +0000 Andrea 156049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is a total bummer!</p> <p>I have only seen Clinton and Obama driving by in NYC. </p> <p>Obama went to my HS and my mom works with one of his good friends. </p> <p>It is cool to hear everyone's stories! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-156004 Fri, 11 May 2012 14:05:59 +0000 Honeybee 156004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm surprised how many people have personal connections with past/present Presidents; I'm so jealous! Presidents don't come out the West coast nearly as often, and they're hardly ever in my area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-155991 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:54:18 +0000 yoursilverlining 155991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My uncle has been very close friends with Bill Clinton since college, so I’ve met Clinton several times at both political and personal functions. My step-BIL used to be Obama’s White House Counsel, but he went back to private practice before I got to use that connection for a meeting (bummer!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-155989 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:52:43 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 155989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I met George Bush (sr.) while working at the Final Four last year. I was running photos and ran past him several times. One trip the Secret Service stopped me from passing because he was getting up to leave. He noticed me and beckoned me over. He told me he had watched me running back and forth and was impressed. He gave me a hug and told me I was beautiful. Then we posed for a picture for the newspaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-155980 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:49:26 +0000 LuLu Mom 155980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope never have! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-155972 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:47:10 +0000 Honeybee 155972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Wow, that's up close and personal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-155966 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:43:59 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 155966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Oh, I have an agenda ready to go with him re: healthcare :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-155965 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:42:57 +0000 mrs. bird 155965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i saw the bush family up in maine a few time when i was young. </p> <p>i haven't met pres obama, but a lot of my family has. my cousin worked for him on his campaign &amp; once he took office. my dad has pictures of their dog, bo, licking his face, we joked that he shouldn't wash that check anymore =) when my cousin quit to take a new position, my aunt &amp; uncle were given 5 minutes in the oval office with the pres, they said he was very nice. i don't know what i would have talked to him about given that chance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-155954 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:38:40 +0000 MsLipGloss 155954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But I met Prince Charles once (while he was still married to Princess Diana). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-155951 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:37:51 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 155951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I met Hillary Clinton in Uganda when I was living there, and I went to an Obama rally in Seattle, but that's as close as I've ever gotten :)</p> <p>Oooh and I saw Airforce one doing touch and gos at the airport in Kona when the President was on vacation in Hawaii last year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-155948 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:36:41 +0000 mediagirl 155948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Well...if I were alive back then, I might have been interested in meeting some of the presidents from before my time but I have absolutely no interest in meeting any of our current politicians. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-disappointed#post-155947 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:34:35 +0000 Honeybee 155947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The President is only a couple hours away from my house today. I really wanted to go see his arrival at the airport (DD is at daycare today, but I would've taken DS with me), but I have to finish up my last final of the semester. :( I'm so disappointed! I'm watching his visit on tv, but it's not the same...</p> <p>Have you ever seen/met a President in person? I saw Bill Clinton in 2007 when he was campaigning for Hillary; it was awesome! </p>
