Say Anything

Sarah's friend had a hilarious and envy-inducingly-awesome story of running into the Obamas at Acadia this weekend and hanging out with the Secret Service. My favorite part was when one of the friends mumbled "thank you for closing the Medicare Part D donut hole" as they shouted greetings back and forth across some rocks.

Thank you for closing the Medicare part D donut hole. It's exactly the kind of nerdy thing I would say if I were to meet him again. Of course, I'd moderate it with "I appreciate that you're a pragmatist, sir, but I was disappointed with the speed with which you made deals with pharma. We believe you can do better, Barack." Young Bo' has a feeling we'd all end up stammering like idiots and asking him if he's seen Boston Med and heard of legendary surgeon William Curry who looks like a more handsome version of him. Or maybe I'd just say "remember meee? Remember me. Please remember meeeee." Lenny, with the timeless approach, would opt for the classic "peace out, B"-- always popular with the Secret Service.

If you were to meet our 44th, what would you say?
