A gift for President Obama


Categories: Celebrity

The Magnet took a break from hangin’ with the Housewives to spend some quality time with the one and only President Barack Obama.

Tom was in Martha’s Vineyard with his daughter when they stopped at Nancy’s Restaurant in Oak Bluffs, MA, to grab a bite to eat. A huge crowd surrounded the restaurant, and The Magnet was quickly informed that the first family was dining inside. (Looks like Tom and Obama have similar tastes…who knew?)

The Magnet had a chance to speak with the president upon the completion of his meal. After shaking Obama’s hand, Tom reminded the commander-in-chief of their meeting with Spike Lee just a year prior – an encounter that Obama remembered. Tom proceeded to tell the President that he had a gift for him from baseball great, Yogi Berra.

“Let’s see what you have there,” Obama said. After receiving the photo, Obama exclaimed, “That’s fantastic!” before passing the signed photo off to Marvin Nicholson.

The president began to walk away, but the encounter wasn’t over yet – Obama stopped, turned around, and asked Tom if his contact info was in the envelope with the gifted photograph before hopping into his black SUV. (Looks like the President condones sending thank you notes…good etiquette never goes out of style!)

The Magnet only had nice things to say about his second encounter with President Barack Obama. “He was just as gracious and kind to me as he was the first time,” Tom said.
