President Obama puts his shoes back on after meeting wrestlers on the mat at the U.S. Olympic Training Facility in Colorado Springs, August 9

….President Obama, visiting the Olympic training center here, had slipped his shoes off to greet athletes on a wrestling mat.
When he went to retrieve them, he plunked right down to put them on, with a gaggle of cameras rolling and reporters standing in front of him.
One reporter, CBS’s Peter Maer, remarked, “Very presidential, sir,” according to a pool report.
“Thanks. No holes in my socks,” the president joked. “My grandmother would be proud.”
