Shawn Johnson: Hello, President Bush!

Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson lands in Washington D.C. to meet with President George Bush at the White House on Monday.

“I am heading to the White House along with all USA Olympians for an honorary visit which I am so excited about,” the 16-year-old gymnast wrote on her blog.

At the airport, one videographer asked Shawn: “Do you look up to the Jonas Brothers? Are you excited to meet President Bush?”

She responded, “Yeah, I am.”

When asked if President George Bush will take away their Gold Medals to help bail out the economy, Shawn just laughed.

Ryan, WTF is wrong with you dude (from a comment left up a few from this one)? Everywhere I look, you want to know if Shawn has met that “boring dolt” Usain Bolt!

Come on, everybody…..soft eyes, great smile, high cheekbones, and she dresses casually, but with style for someone so young. She has the stuff that dreams are made of.

Hey Kimba What’s wrong with you and why you can accept that Usain Bolt is a good person? Plus he donated $50,000 to Chinese Earthquake Victims. Well maybe Shawn Johnson and Usain Bolt are my favorite Olympians and Im just curious if they met and I think they should do a commercial together like a McDonald’s commercial since Bolt likes Chicken McNugets and plus he was on Letterman the same show Shawn was on and I think there are two good role models for young kids to look up to. So stop hating on Bolt.

Also I think it would be cool if Shawn Johnson met Usain Bolt.

Ryan, I have seen your comments all over the place (LA, Des Moines, this and other sites, etc.), and I have to respect your determination. I’ll lay off Mr. Bolt.
