How many times have you seen a U.S. President?

This is just meant as a fun thread. Maybe a slight curiousity one as well. Use whatever definition you want to count how many times you've seen one. Granted, not including tv, videos, photos, etc.

I saw Gerald Ford while visiting DC as a kid. We were trying to get in for the White House tour. He was getting on Marine One. I wish i had a picture of it.

I also saw Ted Kennedy in Boston. He came out of Faniel Hall.

Bill Clinton during his second campaign. He spoke in my hometown in Michigan.

Clinton's motorcade as soon as I dropped off my bags in Dublin and hit the streets to walk around. Also spoke with Hilary Clinton when she was in Panama and I was living there for a bit.

Have seen Obama twice (although once as President Elect) and Hilary once. Countless motorcades, either Obama or Biden, or some other big shot.

Not sure if the inauguration counts... saw a little black dot really far away haha.

twice in two years. Both in a limo, escorted by cops. I thought it was going to be great and inspiring, but it turned out annoying and it made me think about how many homeless could eat from taking one of the motorcycle cop out of the escort. It was very repulsive.
