What kind of athletic shoe does our Pres wear?

Also, Ichiro Suzuki was so cute with his squee.

Also, did anybody else practice signing their autograph as a kid, and developing something stylish? Just me? Erm... *slinks* (Pres Obama has a very nice signature)

I love seeing the president with Ichiro! Ichiro's one of my favorites -- I once had field-side tickets and he winked at me!

I totally practiced my autograph as a kid~, heck I still do!! I'm still trying to get one that looks pretty and ~original~ enough but I'm pretty satisfied with the one I do now :)

Hah, totally with you on the "cool" signatures. I wish mine were as nifty as Obama's, or even my dad's. But, no, I just sign my name. Ah well, it's about the only time I use cursive writing these days, so I guess that makes it unusual....

Girl, yes! The first thing I thought when I saw those was, "My grampa used to wear those!" Winter, spring, summer or fall--he would wear those damned shoes.

He was so cute on there last night, and Ichiro!<3 and the reporter was like "He seemed like a 12 year old when he asked Obama for his autograph."

I laughed so hard when I saw presidential pics. You can see the president feels like he's in a sports candy store. Just too funny :)))))
