Simple habits for a long life: Lessons from a 102-year-old for Barack Obama

Susan laughs and shares her daily eats: greens, cornbread, and bacon each morning.

Obama jokes: "I'm sure that's what the doctor ordered."

He ends with a kiss on her cheek, and Susan thanks him.

The meet-up happened at a spot with a Jefferson Society sign in the back.
