Or maybe it was the declaration that President Barack Obama was her favorite president of all time. Whatever it was, something about Princess Anne Elementary second-grader Smrithi Arcot&#8217;s letter to President Obama asking him about life as the president struck a chord (and, yes, she even offered him the money in her piggy bank if he would take the time to answer her).<\/p>\n<p>In response, she was invited to bring her family to Washington D.C. to visit the White House.They were all able to go up and take the tour last month. This personal tour of the White House was of special excitement for the Arcot family, as they immigrated to America from India.
