4. See the video of him reading
Where the Wild Things Are? He's having more fun than anybody there. He clearly loves being in front of an audience. I count that as a plus.

6. What, no footnote

Don't ask, I don't know what I mean by that either, it just popped into my mind.

7. YouTube Link to Obama Reading
Where the Wild Things Are. Sorry for the sound quality, but it's charming as all get-out. I kind of like a Wild Rumpus myself now and again!

8. The man has great taste in children's literature
I would pay to hear him read The Butter Battle Book - or any other Dr. Seuss, come to think of it.
