Watch: 106-year-old has the Obamas dancing to her tunes
Washington: 106-year-old Virginia McLaurin’s reaction was priceless when she met President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. "I thought I would never live to get in The White House, and I tell you, I am so happy!"
The young-at-heart McLaurin, unable to contain her excitement, burst out into some dance moves with the President and his wife, during her visit to the White House on Sunday.
McLaurin said she was very happy to meet United States' first black president and his “black” wife, all while holding Obama and Michelle’s hands.
Throughout February as part of Black History Month the White House hosts events to celebrate African Americans, past and present, who have shaped the US.
McLaurin filed a White House petition in 2014 saying she would like to meet Obama and his family.
She repeated her request in a YouTube video uploaded in December, 2014.
