WASHINGTON -- A 106-year-old woman was able to have her wish granted of meeting President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama after a year-long petition.

Virginia McLaurin, who was born in 1909, started a campaign on YouTube and a White House petition to meet the president. She was able to meet him and the first lady at the White House last week.

Through all the dance moves and her priceless reaction, she says she was just happy to be there.

"I thought I would never live to get in the White House, and I tell you, I am so happy!" McLaurin said.
