Imagine
being told to dress up for a casual appearance at an auditorium only to
discover you were having a round table meeting with the most powerful
man in the world,Obama!
When
President Barack Obama visited Utah last Friday, he held a closed-door meeting
with some very high-powered people and, a man named Marvin Lance Futch (with
the red arrow) who was very surprised to be in attendance.
According
to Business Insider, his company thought a White House invitation was
simply for someone to sit in the audience of Obama's Utah speech. As a result,
the company reportedly sent him for what ended up being a small round table meeting with the president. He told the Post I was told that it was going to be
an informal event that it was l'm looking down at my white polo going,
well, if I would have known this, I would have worn my military blues or
at least a suit and tie. I admit I was feeling a little under dressed at
the moment. I was sitting there. Honestly one of the first thoughts to
go through my mind is. My commander on the base is going to kill me for this. I
should have known better.
His
colleague who posted the photo on Reddit wrote.
"The
Obama administration sent an invitation to his speech in Utah at Hill Air Force
Base. We thought they wanted a representative from our company in the
audience. Turns out they wanted the representative for a special round table
with the president. Due to this mix up we sent my friend (a leader in
our CAD dept.) instead of the CEO. I know the person responsible for the
mix up is in some serious trouble. But I'm sure the CEO is kicking
himself over missing this chance to meet the President," the Reddit
user added later.
The
discussion lasted about 40 minutes and President Obama asked Lance. The
discussion lasted about 40 minutes and President Obama asked Lance provider
in the United States, and whether there was a career path for transitioning
military service veterans in the solar industry.
