(My experience was with Jimmy Carter, when he was speaking in San Francisco about 10 years ago). <BR/><BR/>Ps. While I have your attention, I want to pass on <A HREF="http://sophiejunction.blogspot.com/2008/01/it-made-my-day.html" REL="nofollow">this award</A>.

It is an experience to get to see someone that well known up close and personal, that's for sure.Magpie Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930036522719103192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17752251.post-15781893306368694902008-01-18T08:21:00.000-08:002008-01-18T08:21:00.000-08:00When I was in jr hs, Pres Johnson came to the loca...When I was in jr hs, Pres Johnson came to the local community college and while out in the crowd shook hands with my mother (I was at home). She came home all excited and I did the "So What?" routine. I was so grounded.<BR/><BR/>I recently learned that most people think seeing or even touching a Pres is a huge, huge once in a lifetime opportunity. Oops, guess I really deserved to be grounded.<BR/><BR/>I have always been charmed by a charismatic man. I am sure I would have been spellbound. But, gosh, hasn't his hair turned white?<BR/><BR/>Aside from the personal issues of the Clintons, I really admire them.Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959081275116311853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17752251.post-25966369783201178172008-01-18T08:06:00.000-08:002008-01-18T08:06:00.000-08:00Whatever one can say about Bill Clinton, he is a c...Whatever one can say about Bill Clinton, he is a charismatic politician.
