Barack Obama surprised a high school soccer team with a visit and some moves

No rainbow, though. Apparently you’re allowed to be president even if you can’t rainbow.

Barack Obama, who is the president, reportedly paid a surprise visit to a practicing high school soccer team during a trip through upstate New York last week. Via Reddit, there is now video of that visit, including a moment of Obama showing off a bit of juggling.

While Obama does have some soccer moves, his handshaking game is way tighter. Note the president’s thoroughness. Every varsity boy’s hand got shook, even though some of them were totally off their games:
