"I was truly blessed," Osegueda said. "The answer that Mr. President Obama gave me was such a motivation that made me feel as if success is around the corner."

Osegueda said he has received an internship offer and has been invited to provide color commentary at the home opener for local baseball team the Fort Myers Miracle.

Osegueda also said that he gave his extra ticket to a friend when he realized that selling it was wrong.

This kid is the next Jeff Spicoli.

Maybe he will grow up to be Sean Penn.

Holy frick, what an insufferable little tard. Send him, Palin, and Joe the Plumber on a rocket to colonize Mars.

Baffler, i'm baffled by your strange mind and leaps of logic; lumping Joe and sarah palin with this Julio on speedballs? You are really out there dude. You take the space ferry to Mars, let Julio be your co-pilot! You have absolutely no political/social perspective that's accurate..............

Oh, lighten up. He's harmless.

He's probably more honest and sincere than the lot of us. lol

I don't get why anyone is impressed with this kid.
He seems goofy and not altogether there...his voice and mannerisms are really odd and out of place.
He does not come off as particularly intelligent.

it seems cruel to give him this exposure and attention.

Maybe he and Tim Russert's kid can team up and become the new Huntley-Brinkley!

It must suck being you. Bitter to the point of disfigurement.

So bitter and worthless.

Internship offers, eh? I didn't realize that The New England School of Tractor Trailer Training offered internships.

I love this kid. The republicans have Joe the Plumber, a hateful opportunistic blowhard. We have Julio. Who'd you rather spend time with? I love this kid!

They're both insufferable dolts undeserving of even 15 seconds of fame.

Give the guy a break- geeeeze!
He's only 19 and just had an exchange with the President that will stay with him the rest of his life.
He's not out to scam anyone, he's not considering buying a business he could never afford and he gave his real name!
He's a real teenager who goes to school, maintains a job and the POTUS just complimented, a pretty cool thing no matter who you are.

Also staying with him for the rest of his life will be "Hey, aren't you that m0ron who worked for years at McDonalds and then made an a$$ of himself expecting the government to force employers to give more benefits to m0r0ns like you?"

Hitting close to home is it? Are you really talking about him or you? You know what they say about the un-conscience mind...

You're jealous because, years from now, you still will be asking customers if they would like fries with their order.

There's something wrong with Julio....he acts like he's on meth or something. And he's uttering "praise Jesus" stuff after every breath....some kind of religious nervous tick. We'll be seeing this guy in the news again someday, and not in a good way I'm afraid. He makes Joe the Plumber look credible.

i wonder if the ny times and nbc are dispatching reporters to investigate julios tax returns to see if he is telling the truth with the same intensity that they did to joe the plumer????
