I wasn't as young as he was and unlike JFK he was no longer the sitting President, but it was a profound and thrilling moment I'll never forget for the rest of my life.
I was on cloud nine the rest of the week.

I would love to know what it was like to have him as our President...but i guess Obama will always be the best to me, and he is still my President.

to have known that he shook the hand of a FUTURE president, and that he inspired him!
