A Utah man was shocked to discover that his 'informal meeting' with a federal official to discuss veterans was actually with President Barack Obama.
Last Friday, 26-year-old Lance Futch donned a white wrinkled polo shirt and drove to Hill Air Force Base in Utah thinking he was going to be led into an auditorium to talk about how to help veterans get more jobs in the infinitely abundant field of solar energy.
Instead, Futch was sat at a table with Obama, Utah Senator Orrin Hatch, congressman Rob Bishop, and Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker - all of whom were wearing suits and ties.
'I was told that it was going to be an informal event — that it was going to be business casual,' Futch told The New York Post on Wednesday.
'If I had known it was my Commander-in-Chief, I definitely would have been wearing my blues,' said the National Guardsman, referring his dress uniform.

He was probably the only competent one in that room...
Nothing wrong with a polo shirt for this president. He’s usually in a golf shirt, so no biggie.
“the infinitely abundant field of solar energy”
Huh? You have got to be kidding. Doesn’t solar comprise less than 3% of the energy produced?
If I had known it was my Commander-in-Chief, I definitely would have been wearing my blues,’ said the National Guardsman, referring his dress uniform.
A democrat probably a traitor... and an enemy, veteran or not..
Thought I was meeting with someone important. Turned out to be Bagger Vance.
So he was over dressed.
But you are overlooking all that unused solar energy that just goes whizzing past the Earth without being captured. VAST potential! Just ask Alexandra Klausner!

Looks like Lance “Futched” up!
“...If I had known it was my Commander-in-Chief, I definitely would have been wearing my blues,...”
He’s not worth the effort, troop.
But you’re an honorable man, either way.
They probably didn’t tell the guy it was Barky because they were afraid he wouldn’t bother to show up.
He fills me with so much loathing it would take an effort to be civil.
overdressed.
but, as my mother always said, "overdressed is better than underdressed".
My worst nightmare is I would have to meet Barky. As a patriotic American who respects the office of the Presidency I would have to be polite to the guy. It would kill me. :-)
“But you are overlooking all that unused solar energy that just goes whizzing past the Earth without being captured.”
It was captured in fossil fuels (plants and plant eating animals). Fossil fuels are billion year old sunshine.
Besides it’s not infinite, you’re bounded by half the surface area of the earth — unless you go the Dyson Sphere route.
i’d excuse myself from the meeting
it’d be the only prudent thing to do.
having a ‘meeting’ with a moron is pointless.
If I found out before hand that it was Obama, I’d roll in shit just to make him feel at home.
I am hoping one day we get a president like Cruz who will drill for energy and stop pandering for this green energy BS!
Did he have a clean nerd-pack in the chest pocket?
