He continued, "And now, I'd like to do something called, 'Baseball and Football,' by the late great George Carlin. Thank you. Baseball is pastoral... 19th century. Football is technological... 20th century. Baseball is played on a diamond, in a park.The baseball park! Football is played on a gridiron, in a stadium... War Memorial Stadium..."

The election falls right in the middle of football season. Obama is strong on every demographic except old white guys. Well, what do old white guys like better than anything? Better even than sex?

Football.

And Obama is a natural talking about sports. The right references at the right moments could swing 100,000 old white guys.

but Obama has a beautiful voice with a musical quality. He is a great speaker.

He speaks the language of the people to whom he is speaking. We all hear him talking to us individually. That is a remarkable gift.
