I found this great story on Reddit last night.  You see that young man in the casual polo shirt on the right?  Here’s the story:

The Obama administration sent an invitation to his speech in Utah at Hill Air Force Base. We thought they wanted a representative from our company in the audience. Turns out they wanted the representative for a special round table with the president. Due to this mix up we sent my friend (a leader in our CAD dept) instead of the CEO.

Edit. I still haven’t had a chance to talk to my friend in the picture. but I have learned that the event did not have a lot of communication beforehand. it sounds like the leaders of the company sent him because he is in the air force [sic] and part of the speech Obama gave was about employing veterans in our industry. It wasn’t known by our company before hand obama [sic] wanted our representatives input in such a small group meeting.

Other notable people around the table were U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop and Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker.  Article
