The President continued his series of White House to Main Street tours with stops through Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. After touring Siemens Energy, Inc. in Fort Madison, Iowa, the President made an impromptu visit to Jerry's Family Restaurant in Mt. Pleasant where he greeted Iowans and wished 107-year-old Frances Asher a happy birthday. Watch some raw footage from the visit:

4. At 107, I imagine most anything would be a surprise

But meeting the President would be right up there.

5. tbh i am 23 and i would have a heart attack

if the damned president of the u.s. dropped in on me unannounced.

glad the old lady didn't keel over, that would have been bad publicity

Since they said they've been trying to get her on it for years.

10. I almost wish I lived in DC just for the remote chance I could meet this guy.

Never wanted to shake anyone's hand more--except maybe for Bill Clinton.
