Of the Feb. 12 meeting, Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett wrote at the White House blog Friday:

When the Court handed down its decision last June, President Obama called Edie from Air Force One to congratulate her on her victory. And earlier this week, the President invited Edie to the France State Dinner and the Oval Office to thank her in person.
