Ahmed Mohammed, the 'Clock Boy' meets Pres. Obama

Ahmed Mohamed, who came to be known as the “Clock Boy" after he was arrested at his high school in September when a teacher mistook his homemade clock for a bomb, met President Obama on Monday night October 19th during the White House's "Astronomy Night" celebration. 

Obama had extended an invitation to the 14-year-old in September. See more photos after the cut...

Ahmed posed for pictures with NASA astronaut Alvin Drew shortly before Obama addressed some American science students who were at the white house for Astronomy Night, a night honoring science, space exploration and youthful endeavors.
