My favorite Obama story [View all]
My friend Betsy was invited to the WH as the parent of a disabled child. It was a small group, met in the rose garden, about 20 people she loved him.
About 3-4 months later she visited the WH again as an officer of the Independent Booksellers Association. Apparently they take books to the WH annually (? for each new prez? not sure). They were told they might not get to meet Obama personally. Then they were taken to a room in the WH and Obama was at the door greeting them. When he got to Betsy he extended his hand and said "You probably don't remember me but we met in the rose garden a few months ago." She cracked up.
I'm gonna miss him.
