Barack Obama on MNF

Anyone else see Barack on MNF? It was a fascinating appearance, I thought—a way to show that he has some self-awareness about the hype surrounding his presidential bid, and a commentary about the sometime absurdity of the political process.

On balance, I think Obama was smart and funny. But he has to be careful: Voters don't like candidates who convey a sense of irony. It's a balancing act....

I do like his willingness not to take himself too seriously, with the "da-da-da-daaa" at the end...  ¶ 9:52 AM
