But after President Obama's election, she had her sights set on meeting the first black president.And this weekend, her dreams became reality.She was so overjoyed that she could not stop her feet from dancing when she met President Obama and the First Lady as part of Black History Month celebrations. The White House posted a video of the meeting to their Facebook page on Sunday.
