Daily Talker: Photo Of Underdressed Man Goes Viral

A photo of a man sitting at a meeting with the president has gone viral thanks to the man's wardrobe selection.

Lance Futch, 26, arrived last week at a Utah Air Force base in a wrinkled polo shirt, expecting to be led into a large auditorium to talk about how to get more jobs for vets.

Instead, he was ushered into an intimate setting with Utah's senator, Orrin Hatch, and congressman, Rob Bishop, two chairs away from Obama.

Futch, a computer-aided design team leader for Vivint Solar, said a White House official had requested a representative with military experience to talk about the company's involvement in the Department of Energy's Solar Ready Vets program.

"The original thought was they wanted a representative from Vivint as just to be part of a press release," Futch explained. "There was a mention of an interview with a 'senior White House official.' "

Futch said he didn't mind the attention his attire was getting.

This had us thinking.  Have you ever been underdressed for an important meeting or event?
