<p>And now a twitpic featuring a photo of the two most powerful men in Washington, D.C.</p> 
<q> <p>Good conversation with @BarackObama Wise words, &amp;amp; much appreciated http://say.ly/pco5ulp</p> </q> 
<p>So what were the "wise words" in said "good conversation?" According to <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/redskins-watch/2013/mar/30/rg3-obama-talked-me-about-protecting-myself/" type="external">The Washington Times</a>, Griffin said President Obama spoke to him about "protecting myself."</p> 
<p>Griffin and Obama both were in the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. for the NCAA Tournament matchup between Syracuse and Marquette. Obama's concerns are in lock-step with <a type="internal">Washington Redskins</a> coach <a type="internal">Mike Shanahan</a>, who spoke of the need for Griffin to <a type="internal">protect himself better</a> following a spectacular rookie season that ended with a wrecked knee.</p>

<p>As for Obama, this isn't the first time he's given safety advice to a prominent NFC East quarterback. At a fundraiser in Oakland last year, Obama <a type="internal">had a message</a> for <a type="internal">Michael Vick</a> during a conversation with former <a type="internal">Eagles</a> cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.</p> 
<p>"Tell Vick to slide," the president said.</p> 
<p>This is the same Obama who said in December that if he had a son, <a type="internal">he's not sure</a> he'd let him play football. It's safe to say any football being played on White House grounds is of the two-hand touch variety.</p>
