President Obama played a game of H-O-R-S-E with former NBA star Clark Kellogg during the Final Four telecast yesterday. My expectations were low, and I expected it to be corny.

Unlike the North Korean Supreme Leader's penchant for hitting fictional hole-in-one shots on the golf course, Obama started slow and was willing to show some weakness.  Nonetheless, throughout the video, he seemed confident and athletic.  Moreover, the bantering and interplay seemed to provide some insights into the President's psyche.

All-in-all, I thought it was a good move by him … and that it did a nice job of polishing-up his image and reminding people why he is so popular.

Here's the video from CBS sports.

As you may know, Obama is a lefty.  When asked if he can you go to his right, Obama replies: "I can go to my right, but I prefer my left." 

One more note, Obama's personal aide is Reggie Love, a former Duke basketball player.
