Boston.com: My meeting with President Obama

[dennis4868]

So I wanted to share this picture with you guys.

I got to meet President Obama a few days ago when he was in town to speak in Dorchester. I don’t get star struck that easily, but man … it was pretty cool!

I admire what he’s been able to do so much. I also had a chance to tell him about my charity program – FitClub34. Michelle Obama’s program Let’s Move has the same goals as my program – to increase nutrition for kids ... makin' sure our kids are eating right, exercising and being healthy.

He loved some of the things we’ve been doin', which made me feel real good. I’m hoping we will get to work together soon.

1. I remember reading about this...

.... the other day, his meeting with several of the Celtics players.

I'd imagine their contracts ban them from being too political, but it's a shame Dems cant utilize these guys more for some good old fashioned community outreach.
