At 106 years old, she's seen more than a dozen presidents come and go, 
but Virginia McLaurin says she can finally die happy after meeting 
President Barack Obama. Video of the centenarian shaking her groove with
 the president and his wife quickly went viral on the Internet after 
last week's Black History Month reception at the White House.
The grandmother told The Associated Press that when she saw the 
president and first lady Michelle Obama in the flesh, 'I was so happy, I
 started dancing.'
'I've come a long ways, a long ways,' McLaurin said in an interview 
outside her Washington home. 'I just didn't think I'd ever live to go 
this far in the world.'
