When facing the media, Barack is always able to maintain his grace and humor, and today was no exception. Although there was a small unexpected episode on the scene, he still handled it calmly and calmly.
Turning around, Barack adjusted his position slightly, and then deliberately stood on his tiptoes. At the same time, he responded to the reporters' requests seriously, "Of course, of course. Standing next to Lu, I can always be extra special." I feel safe. I hope that my image will not be misinterpreted by the photo you publish on the front page."
Barack is a tall man, with a height of 6 feet (185 centimeters). However, standing next to Lu Ke, he suddenly becomes like a bird - even though Lu Ke himself is a relatively strong and thin type. But comparing the two people, there is a difference of two sizes in height and body shape. If they appear in the same frame at the same time, the picture looks a bit funny.
Lu Ke is also an active person. At this moment, he also showed his calmness and calmness in facing big scenes. Following Barack's words, he showed a puzzled look and asked with great sincerity, "What about my posture?" Are there any requirements? Do I need to do a Bruce-Banner move? Will it look better?"
Bruce Banner is actually the Hulk. Lu Ke chose this time to ask the question, and the subtext was: Do they need to pose as "Beauty and the Beast"?
As for who is the beauty and who is the beast, it seems to be left to the readers to judge.
The back-and-forth between Lu Ke and Barack made all the reporters smile. They had long been accustomed to the president's chatter and laughter, and now they felt the humor from the new Super Bowl champions. This year's champion team visited the White House. More fun than expected.
After the reporter's interruption, Barack did not stay any longer. He released his hold on Lu Ke's right hand and continued to walk towards the next player.
A visit to the White House is a formal event. From interviews with reporters to filming sessions to private lunches, all itineraries are arranged in advance and carried out according to procedures on the day.
Jim Harper delivered a thank you speech as the team representative, and then Barack also formally expressed congratulations to the San Francisco 49ers as president; followed by a photo session and an interview session, and finally ended with Lu Ke's brief thank you speech. The first half of the process had just come to an end. The reporters reluctantly turned around and left, their ears finally clear.
At lunch time, the championship team and the president had lunch in the White House, and the first lady was present hand in hand. This is more like a private party - not the kind of party bombarded by alcohol and speakers, but a cigar party for the upper class elite, elegantly holding a glass of whiskey or red wine and talking about the rise and fall of Wall Street stocks or It is the prosperity of a company of 500 people, and such elegant occasions, at least that is how the atmosphere feels.
Barack is a very approachable and humorous president. During his term in office, he created many topics:
For example, he is known as the first president elected by Twitter. During the campaign, the flexible use of social networks successfully brought him closer to the new generation of voters; another example is that he is the first late-night talk guest in history. A handsome sitting president who uses his excellent eloquence and humor to expand his influence among the middle class.
The same is true today.
During the private lunch party, Barack took care of all aspects. After talking to many players, he came to Lu Ke again, smiled and nodded, "How does it feel? Being the only focus of the audience?" Even if it is As the president, it is inevitable that Lu Ke will look upon him with admiration for making history.
After all, Lu Ke's existence is unique in every aspect. Looking at the four major leagues in North America, he is the only one who deserves the title!
"Are you saying, because of my skin color? Or because of my quarterback position?" Lu Ke has long been accustomed to such questions and can handle them with ease. Then he tilted his head slightly, "Or, in such a situation, , your feelings are deeper than mine? I think you don’t like being asked this question either, right?”
Counterattack an army.
Instead, Barack laughed happily, "It seems that we have reached a consensus." Then he changed the content of his question, "I am more curious about how you did the pass at the last moment. Arrived? God, even if I look back at the game tape now, I still can’t believe that it really happened.”
"It's very simple, just like your campaign debate, I don't know how you did it, and you don't know how I did it. I guess we all chose the right path for ourselves. "Lu Ke's response made Barack nod his head in agreement.
Then Lu Ke changed the subject and joked to himself, "Actually, I don't know exactly how it was done. If I did it again now, the result might not be certain."
"Ha." Barack laughed cheerfully, "Fortunately, you are not needed here in the White House to complete the pass. I think you are safe now."
This harmless little humor made the atmosphere soft and cheerful. Lu Ke thought about it and asked curiously, "Can I ask a question?"
"Of course!" Barack met Lu Ke's gaze with a smile.
"Do you have your own spare time? I mean, besides watching Super Bowl replays." Lu Ke asked the question in a relaxed way, "I'm not sure how much energy it takes to manage a country, but To be sure, it’s not an easy job.”
Then, Lu Ke raised his hands to express that he was not aggressive. "My mother was very curious about this matter. She always felt that people in the White House and Capitol Hill lived in another world." Because of such a vivid description, Bei was very curious about this matter. Lark laughed happily, "I told her that you also have your own spare time. You can also read books, play golf, and browse the news. You are no different from the elites on Wall Street."
"Ha." Barack chuckled, then tilted his head slightly, and looked at Lu Ke with interest, "Why do I feel the sharp edge of sarcasm? I hope this is just my personal illusion." Wall Street elites, for most ordinary people For the public, it is indeed a key word for ridicule; just like people always refer to lawyers as sharks.
Lu Ke responded with a smile, but did not refute.
Barack immediately savored the details: Objectively speaking, as a lawyer, Barack can indeed be regarded as one of the elites. It would be correct to say that he is similar to the Wall Street elite; however, Barack's background But it's just mediocre, far from the so-called elite.
Lu Ke's little teasing was also full of his own wisdom. Barack was a smart man and understood it immediately, and his smile became more relaxed and cheerful, "But... yes, I have my own spare time, just like Just like professional players, although training and games are very busy, you can still have a little free time occasionally. This is just a job. It's just that this job is a little bit special."
"There is only one copy for the entire United States. To be more precise, there is only one copy for the whole world." Lu Ke took over.
Barack nodded slightly in agreement, "But I don't think this job is any different from the quarterback's job. We are all in charge of a team, and then we need to make all parts work. This is not easy, but We need to find a solution eventually. As for my spare time, my first choices are golf and basketball."
"Ouch." Lu Ke immediately began to cry out in pain.
Barack spread his hands and said, "Football requires a huge team, but basketball can be played anytime and anywhere. My choice is not difficult." In fact, Barack is really good at basketball, but of course he can't compete with professional players. Comparatively, there is indeed some level among amateur players, "In addition, the live broadcast, what I watched was the live broadcast."
The meaningless words came out like this. Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted and showed a smile again, "Are you sure? There was a power outage for thirty-four minutes, and you didn't Are you insisting on not turning the channel?"
What Barack was talking about was the Super Bowl: What he was watching was not a taped broadcast, but a live broadcast.
Lu Ke's reaction speed surprised Barack, and then a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes:
He is a lawyer himself, and his thinking speed and way are different. Many times, the person he is talking to may not be able to keep up with his conversation rhythm, which is also a kind of trouble; but he did not expect that Lu Ke has no problem at all, which makes him I thought of Lu Ke's academic qualifications and the way he won in the past season.
"No, I started watching after the power outage. Because of the unexpected power outage, it bought me time to watch the live broadcast. I just finished my work." Barack added, "Obviously, I missed the first half of Baltimore. It was a great performance, but luckily I didn't miss San Francisco's great comeback in the second half."
"Huh, luckily it's me, not Flaco, who's standing here, otherwise the situation might be a little embarrassing." Lu Ke teased again, and both of them chuckled.
This is just part of the White House luncheon.
Afterwards, Lu Ke was still the focus of the audience. Not only the first lady, but also many White House staff came forward to talk to Lu Ke.
As a figure who made history, Lu Ke has gradually become accustomed to being the absolute center of attention in the past period. No matter where he goes, he can encounter looks of curiosity, surprise or joy. Now he finally knows the first one that appeared in the zoo. How do white rhinos feel?
After the visit to the White House was over, the other teammates and coaches of the San Francisco 49ers officially entered the offseason. They could relax and enjoy their vacations, while Lu Ke came to New York alone. He also had an additional task. Need to be completed -
Participated in the recording of NBC's flagship talk show "Saturday Night Live"!
