Saw him at Army/Navy in 2001 but certainly not close. I saw Clinton up close but was trying too hard not to scream obscenities at him to hear anything he had to say.
One of my great regrets is being too shortsighted in high school to see the Reagans off at Andrew AFB in 88. I can still picture myself telling my father no thanks, that I had something at school I needed to do...I blame youthful silliness but I still have the picture my father took of them from the tarmac.
I've never seen a president "up close" unless you count the time we freeped slick in Seattle. And then I was holding a sign which said "Clinton pardoned terrorists" so I guess he wasn't much interested in stopping the limo to talk to me :-)
