"Swish"

In an interesting--and calculated--public appearance, President Barack Obama did the play-by-play (kind of) in yesterdays Duke-Georgetown basketball game (Hoyas, 89-77).

A new populist PR direction? The appearance included some funny cracks of wit ("I have a stronger left hand") but also included some subtle politics ("My right hand's good too--I went to the Republican caucus the other day").

What's the next play, Mr. President?
