President Obama became the fourth president to visit all 50 states while in office when he spoke at the Lake Area Technical Institute commencement in Watertown, S.C., on Friday. Gary Young, the owner of Young's Primetime Sports, made shirts that read "Saved The Best For Last" to commemorate the visit.
[Only three presidents have visited all 50 states in office. Until now.]
The White House shared a photo this week of 11-year-old Rebecca, who asked why Obama hadn't been there yet, and made the case for why he should come: 1) it's the warmest of the Dakotas 2) they have Mount Rushmore and 3) sometimes, when you go to the park, you can see coyotes, hawks and bald eagles. Hard to argue with that.
