Ian Somerhalder had a big day yesterday! The "Vampire Diaries" heartthrob met with President Barack Obama, and while the star sounded starstruck himself, it appears as if the two did some good talking about some important issues.
Ian sent out more than one tweet about his meeting with the POTUS, and one in particular gives us deets on what the two discussed and even gives us a pic. Oh, man, if Ian were on Facebook, that would totally have to be his FB picture. He said:

This happened at the Beverly Hilton during President Obama's L.A. fundraising trip, and the prez met with other stars like Dianna Agron, Jessica Alba and Jared Leto. It's too bad Ian couldn't tweet all about what they talked about (darn you and your word limits, Twitter!) 'cause we're all really curious. "A better America" and "being a young American" could mean a lot of different things, but the part about green energy is more specific. Ian's definitely interested in helping take care of the globe (remember his cool tweet about the teens fighting climate change?).
President Obama has also expressed his interest in green energy time and again. For instance, the White House's website gives us this info: "[T]he United States has nearly doubled renewable energy generation from wind, solar, and geothermal sources since 2008. In fact, last year, according to industry experts, the United States reclaimed the title as the world's leading investor in clean energy technologies, besting countries like China, India, and Germany."
If you met with the president, what would you want to talk about?
