What if you had a chance to meet with the President of the United States in the Oval Office?
As we’ve been reporting, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer got the chance Tuesday when he was unexpectedly invited by President Trump, coming as a surprise to Faulconer, the Mayor’s staff and the local media.
But it may have gotten the average San Diegan thinking about what you would say and what you would do if an invitation came from the White House to pay a visit probably the most important single office in the world.
The Oval Office of the President of the United States is not just a place where the most powerful leaders in the free world for decades have signed documents and met with other world leaders, but also a place where history itself has been made, the good, bad and ugly.
The Oval Office is where President Kennedy came close to nuclear war with the then-Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile crisis and it was where President Nixon sweated out Watergate and where President Clinton infamously welcomed a certain intern.
It was where President Obama signed health care legislation that still carries his name and it was where President George W. Bush spoke to the nation the night of September 11th in 2001 after the terrorist attack on America that morning.
The Oval Office is a place that probably 99 percent of Americans will never visit, but it’s a place where what happens can affect America for decades and then some.
