Obama's a very engaging person. I know that his speeches are all prepared for him and read off of a teleprompter...but even in those settings, you can see his relaxed persona come through a little bit.
I noticed the same thing you did, and it didn't surprise me a bit. He was also terrific while in the booth with the loathsome Joe Buck and the dimwitted Tim McCarver. I'm just a bit annoyed that he didn't have a better fastball...i mean, the guy is an athlete! All the guys I play basketball with could have whipped that ball from the mound to the plate no prob...he struggled to get it there! Also, has anyone seen the movie "Dave"? The scene last night reminded me a bit of that movie....
