I think you are an interesting person that the President would be better for having met, and I suspect vice-versa as well.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Michael</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32226071/115843817667603731/comments/default/115889035702270298'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32226071/115843817667603731/comments/default/115889035702270298'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://meetwithmemrpresident.blogspot.com/2006/09/response-from-white-house.html?showComment=1158890340000#c115889035702270298' title=''/><author><name>CleverIdea</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05172184750936228229</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://meetwithmemrpresident.blogspot.com/2006/09/response-from-white-house.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32226071.post-115843817667603731' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32226071/posts/default/115843817667603731' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
