University of Colorado student Madalyn Starkey posed for a photo with the President of the United States the other day … possibly after a few too many drinks.

Traveling through Colorado Tuesday, Obama stopped in at a local pub known as The Sink, where the POTUS met many college students, including Starkey.

In the pic, Obama is grinning with his arm around her as the self-described “Professional Student” points her finger at the president in seeming disbelief:

Amid hundreds of shares and re-tweets, Starkey has been having fun with all the attention, saying “Woo, never knew a tweet could blow up like that. Neat!”

“Bet you wish you had taken me to prom now, huh?” she Tweeted at one follower.

The pic has taken off on social media sites like Instagram and Twitter … almost as much as Obama slow jamming the news with Jimmy Fallon on Late Night.

Political views aside, needless to say, the Prez is the king of cool. Who wouldn’t want to pose for a drunk photo with the guy and post it on Twitter?
