Even if the other men look at women, you should be committed!

Damian - Spring, TX   July 16th, 2009 6:06 pm ET

Remember sweetie, don't slouch and try not to pick your nose while you're out there

Kevin Haggith Toronto Canada   July 16th, 2009 6:06 pm ET

Michelle loved seeing her husband on the pitcher's mound the other night so much that even before he is about to make an appearance she tries to get to first base.

Michael, Los Angeles, CA   July 16th, 2009 6:06 pm ET

No, honey, I don't think the sleeveless shirt would've been a good idea.

Isabel • Brazil •   July 16th, 2009 6:10 pm ET

Honey,

Don't get me wrong, but you could get some tips on how to combine the shirt with the tie with Anderson.

Kevin Haggith Toronto Canada   July 16th, 2009 6:11 pm ET

"I knew you liked basketball so much better than baseball , Barack, because it clearly looks like you've been 'dribbling' again!

Barb Keokuk, Iowa   July 16th, 2009 6:13 pm ET

You should have taken a cue from your silver haired role model, Anderson, and lose the tie Barack. Not only will you nor have to worry about stImson on you tie but you will look and be comfortable.

anne smith Lake City,Tx   July 16th, 2009 6:13 pm ET

Daniel Olson -- Walnut Creek, CA   July 16th, 2009 6:20 pm ET

"Yes, I did say that you look good in that jacket, but I didn't say you should wear it in St. Louis."

Oh my God! Barack did you forget the flag pin in the dressing room?!!

Gady Mayen from Canada   July 16th, 2009 6:21 pm ET

This tie looks similar to Regis Philbin's tie that he had on this morning!

Delores - Albuquerque   July 16th, 2009 6:31 pm ET

I asked the staff who wanted to volunteer to appear in the baseball card for the backpack? There was only one volunteer: "BO!"
