Barack Obama can't run for re-election in 2016, so he's found a different kind of presidential race he thinks he can win.
The president stopped by Nationals Park on Thursday as the annual Congressional Baseball Game that pits the Democrats and Republicans took place on the diamond. His primary objective was to try to persuade player from both teams to grant him trade promotion authority, but he did have time to attend to some other important business.
As he was leaving the stadium he just happened to run into the Nationals' Running Presidents and Obama made sure they too got a sense of his competitive nature.
