Obama's Poker Skills Highlighted

Despite a politically charged atmosphere around poker in the United State these days, government officials still play the game, and one presidential candidate has been singled out as bringing poker skills to his race. Barack Obama was a founding member of a poker game played by Republicans and Democrats alike. The other legislators and senators playing the game describe Obama as a careful player who manages risk and hides tells, what poker players might describe as a "Rock". Republican players often teased him about his fiscal conservation only applying to a deck of poker cards and the money in his bankroll.
