Same hotel ballroom, about 6 feet away. Had the chance to shake his hand, but I passed.

I was a couple of hundred yards away when he arrived in Washington on Marine 1 Reno on Air Force One.

Maybe he visited Montreal too and I was close. I dunno.

Fixed to suit my needs.

I'm trying to phrase this in a way Europeans will understand, maybe less than a foot away, which probably translates into less than 2 meters or 1 pound sterling or 3 duck's beaks -- that close.

But didnt he shake all hands of those that protect him?

Oh wait, that Secret Service that guards him, muh baaaddd

Anyhoo, when I read the title I thought it said how close is George to coming out?







You tell me, is he closet or close to coming out of it?

You should have shaken his head instead.

I've been in the same city as he. That's way too close for me.

One time when I was in grade school I was really mad at this other kid because he was saying mean things about my father, so I started spreading rumors about him to get all the other kids to hate him. He didn't really care though, so I ended up just punching him after school.

I once invaded another civilization for their oil!

I went to his first innauguration. (Well... the trip was planned before the election, I was rather hoping it would be someone else's innauguration )

I've been quite close to the TX Governor's Mansion a number of times while he held the office. Before he became Stillpresident. Good times.

I thought I had seen him in a cage in the zoo of Nuremberg, but people told me afterwards, that's not him but merely a double.

He came to a senior living residence in my community, to talk about Medicare Plan D back in 2006. I was in the same conference room as him but didn't get close enough to make eye contact or anything.

His father, George H. W. Bush, was in Beijing in early 1989 after just being inaugurated. He stopped by the American Embassy and the local Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts stood at attention to welcome him. They took a picture with him and Barbara and I was right in front of him, largely hidden between two tall Boy Scouts who were in front of me.

I was 8 at the time.
