[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I met Bill Clinton when I was in middle school. We were taping a televised roundtable talk about teenage smoking. At the last minute, the producers made me an alternate. I had to watch from the back of the studio, which bummed me out. Between takes, I kept noticing him staring at me. I'm sure I had my best Charlie Brown "woe is me" face.

At the end of it, the producer gave me 30 seconds to go shake his hand. I'd been instructed by the secret service guy to make it quick and go right back to my perch. He shook my hand, told me to sit down, and started asking me my thoughts on the situation. Some kid interrupted, and he stopped him in his tracks. He told the kid that he'd talked to him for over an hour "and this poor guy has sat over there by himself the entire time. I want to hear what he has to say." We talked one on one for about five minutes. He didn't rush me. The last thing he asked was whether or not I had any other thoughts. When I said I didn't, he nodded to the secret service guy and they all left.

It was a closed set, so it wasn't a photo op or anything. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy. [/quote]

I'm glad you had that moment. [/quote]
