Happy Birthday, #44!

I have had the honor of meeting President Barack Obama on three occasions - first, in 2006 at Oprah's Legends Ball when he was a Senator; the second, in 2007, at Oprah's Santa Monica home when she threw a huge dinner reception for him when he was running for President; and the third time was at the home of actress Gwenyth Paltrow when she held a fundraising reception for the then-President (below right).
