As others have said, the prez is the prez, and you can at least respect the office, even if you're not overly fond of every occupant.<br /><br />DH and i spent a few days in DC on our honeymoon. We watched as two helicopters landed on the White House lawn and knew from the cloud of Secret Service men that the President got in the first one. It took off and flew over us. We waved as it went overhead, and we saw a hand wave back, surrounded by a crisp, white cuff, dark color suit, and a cufflink. DH and i both wanted to believe it was President Reagan waving to us. Even if it were just a Secret Service agent waving on the prez's behalf, we still found it thrilling.<br /><br />I also stood in line for quite a while with two friends to have former president Jimmy Carter autograph one of his books for me. Another thrilling moment.<br /><br />meganmegan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-68260524007087814122012-08-08T15:29:30.606-04:002012-08-08T15:29:30.606-04:00Glad you went Kim.

The closest mama has come to seeing any President in person has been when the Secret Service locks down the streets in anticipation of a Presidential motorcade and mama's gotten stuck waiting for it to whizz by at a high rate of speed. Hope you enjoyed it.

I would have stood in line too. I'm glad you got a chance to hear him speak. I have not been around the blogs a lot lately, so I caught up on your latest about Annie and Todd. How funny! No need for toe nail clippers then? As for politics, I think you can write about whatever you want on your blog. I listen to TV and sometimes get so darned mad about some political issue or other, but I make a conscious decision to not include it on my blog. I just want a nice peaceful blog. But I will speak out if something happens that really gets to me.Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-20724040603401827002012-08-04T14:04:36.340-04:002012-08-04T14:04:36.340-04:00Hi thanks for sniffing me out and the follow :) I&...Hi thanks for sniffing me out and the follow :) I'm following you back so we can get the know each other. <br />You did good to get that close to the President, maybe one day I might see the Queen!<br />Have a good week<br />See Yea George xxxGeorge The Ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153242284238986801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-56739923162408119302012-08-04T13:15:35.431-04:002012-08-04T13:15:35.431-04:00Sometimes I think of starting another blog where I...Sometimes I think of starting another blog where I can talk all the no no's... politics, sex and whatever else pops into my head. <br /><br />Great photos.<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100381901254968075noreply@blogger.com
