I Shook A Hand That Has Shaken Obama's and Biden's
Be very jealous!
![]() We were attending a college women's basketball tournament this weekend. At lunch yesterday, my husband spotted a bunch of people wearing fan shirts. He remarked to them about how well the team was playing. Engaged in a friendly conversation. A woman walked by and joined them. I knew I recognized her from somewhere. Certainly out of context situation. She got up and came over to our table to chat about basketball. And I asked her - "Are you Susan Rice?" She said "Yes." and shook our hands. Asked our names. And then went back to discussing basketball. Coolest thing ever! Wish I had told her how much I respect her work. ![]()

Ran into him in 1991 and said hi, before I knew he was nuts.

13. 1991?
Sure, back then, I thought he was just a more or less harmless blowhard and probably would have shaken his hand (ewww) if the opportunity had presented itself.

6. You could have just asked me.
I've shaken Obama's hand and Joe Biden's hand, as well as WJC. Michelle's, Jill's and Hillary's, too, come to think of it.
A few others as well. LBJ, HHH, Javits, Dirksen, Bobby Sr., Mondale, even Sidney Poitier (I got an early start, LOL!!). |

I met the Beach Boys back stage at a concert at the Cow Palace in San Francisco in 1964 when I was 12. And got autographs. Which I no longer have.
