I’m now in a limo on the way to the White House for my meeting with
President Obama. *He has asked me to share some of my ideas with him
on how to plug the BP leak (you remember my engineering degree?) and
also my thoughts on improving the world economy, solving the quagmires
in Iraq and Afghanistan, plus my strategy for holding the Democratic
majority in Congress during the elections this fall.

The President has asked me to accompany him on Air Force One on his
trip to the Gulf tomorrow. *But I begged off on this, explaining to
Barak that once I leave the Oval Office I’m on my way to Yale for a
class reunion.

Did I mention that my wife is going to be joining me at Yale? *She’s
quite a girl. *She’s much younger than I am, but in her young life she
has earned three doctoral degrees, all from Columbia Pacific
University.

Wish me well in my meeting with the President. *I’ll let you know how
it goes.

I had a terrific meeting with President Obama. While not quite my
intellectual equal, the President paid rapt attention while I outlined
solutions for the Gulf oil spill, Afghanistan, financial reform,
China, the economy, Iraq, the fall elections, North Korea, poverty,
Kazakhstan, immigration and education. At the conclusion of the
meeting, which ran longer than scheduled, Barak asked for my cell
phone number. I’m sure we’ll be in touch.

Now it’s off for a quick side trip to Baltimore Harbor for the
anniversary of my late father’s fireboat welcome into the Harbor after
his Atlantic crossing in a bathtub with a 3 hp Scott-A****er outboard
on the back.
