As we mentioned last week, on behalf of Michelle Obama, The White House invited some innovators to the State of the Union on Tuesday night. One of those lucky bunch was Instagram founder, Mike Krieger. It makes, of course, that the creator of the snazzy photo sharing app would use the occasion to snap a quick shot with the First Lady herself. 

The invitation was most certainly an attempt of the administration to highlight entrepreneurship—with an emphasis on foreign innovators who come to the United States. Krieger, of course, is Brazilian and in the process of getting his green card.

The White House also posted a nice little video of his trip, which we have below.
