Michelle Wie went to the White House as a part of the victorious Solheim Cup. She gave Obama a lei, the shaka (hang loose) sign (just extend your pinkie and thumb, and shake it), and raved about it on Twitter:
“The white house was AMAZING yesterday. meeting pres obama was one of the coolest things EVER!!”
Christina Kim on her new blog wrote: “Anyway, spending time with President Obama is something I will always cherish. He told the team how he hit a 2-iron from 250yds to 8 feet and made the putt for birdie while he was in Hawaii. Someone mentioned how we need to get him into the 21st century and take that 2-iron out and slap a hybrid in his hand, and we all laughed. He was so gracious and it was so wonderful to spend time with him, especially considering he is such a busy man. Immediately after meeting with us, President Obama had to go into a meeting about, I’m assuming, the crisis in Haiti.”
