Democrat Mark Begich is Alaska's newest U.S. senator. Begich, the former Anchorage mayor, was sworn in as a senator this morning, replacing longtime Republican Sen. Ted Stevens. Begich defeated Stevens in November.
Begich's son made national news Monday when he shouted out to President-elect Barack Obama at a chance meeting at the Capitol.
The president-elect walked over to 6-year-old Jacob Begich and asked him, "What's going on, man?"
Mark Begich says that Jacob kept repeating, "I met the president! I met Obama!"
Yeah you know I met little Jacob myself on the day this picture was taken. He ran into my leg as I was talking to Mark.
Cute kid.
I hope his dad's job keeps him attending school in Washington for many years to come. I am confident that Mark will be a GREAT Senator for Alaska.
That was so cute, he was beaming when he saw PEBO... he was so excited... well what am I saying I would be excited and beaming too and I am an old woman...lol
ReplyDeleteBy the way I recognize that the post makes it seem like I DIDN'T like little Jacob but I really did. He was very cute and when Mark tried to apologize for him I told him not to worry since I work with children all of the time.
