PRESIDENT BUSH MEETS JASON
Remember this inspiring story?
Autistic team manager Jason McElwain fires off one of six 3-point shots he made in his 20-point scoring run at the end of Greece Athena High School’s last home game Feb. 15.
Well, Jason met with President Bush today.
On his way to Canandaigua, N.Y., Tuesday to speak at Medicare events, Bush stopped at an airport near here and greeted McElwain — accompanied by his parents and coach — and called him “a special person.”
“Our country was captivated by an amazing story on the basketball court,” the president told reporters gathered on the tarmac, his arm draped around the 17-year-old senior, with Air Force One, the presidential jet, in the background. “It’s the story of a young man who found his touch on the basketball court, which in turn touched the hearts of citizens all around the country.”
The president joked that if his aging body would let him return to the basketball court, he’d want a lesson from McElwain.
