Brian Hagmeier is More Famous Than My Dad



Brian made this poker chip and gave it to Barack Obama early in the primary season. We all figured the Secret Service tossed it in the garbage. Guess not. Holy crap.

My jaw hit the floor when I saw that picture...too fucking cool!!

Not only did Barack keep it, there's a photo of him holding it a year later in an internationally read magazine. That's just surreal.

I wonder if he will use it as a card protector when he and Grandpa Joe play poker in the white house?

I heart Grandpa Joe.

Which one is the thing you made? The flat one? Pretty cool. Is there a story connected to this photo?

Yep-the flat silver one.
