Mr President


Throughout my career, i've had the pleasure of meeting many government leaders, but Sunday, June 1st, was the first time I had ever met an American president.  During a special service commemorating the 25th anniversary of Dr Fred and Mrs Leigh Lowery with the First Baptist Bossier Church, a surprise guest made his appearance.

Audience members looked on in disbelief as a security detail led the president into the sanctuary to congratulate the pastor and his wife on their accomplishment.  It didn't take long before the crowd realized this was not the actual president but a comedic presidential impersonator.  With such an uncanny resemblance and mannerisms that truly made you look twice, John Morgan had the crowd rolling with laughter.

Later,while sharing a table with the look-a-like president during a luncheon, I just couldn't help but look at him wonder how someone could have such a resemblance.  I guess I will have to continue and wait for my chance to meet a real Commander in Chief.
