(Savannah) Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room was running over with people today. Folks wanting a taste of the good food President Obama ate... or perhaps hoping to sit at the same table. Marcia Thompson says they were blown away because they had no idea the President was coming for lunch Tuesday. His down to earth personality touched her. "The limo's came down the lane and he came dashing down here and came in and he spoke to everyone in here, shook their hand looked them in the eye asked them personal questions you know the people at our table. It's amazing the presence he has, "says Marcia. Marcia says President Obama's visit was a wonderful experience and they are so happy to have been a part of it. Doors close at Mrs. Wilkes' everyday at 2 p.m. They were still swamped with people today at 3.
