“Instead of hitting home runs, sometimes we’re going to hit singles. But they’re really important singles.”
President Obama, on the Seoul G20 jawn.
I feel like there’s some sort of ‘clogging the bases’ FJM type joke to make here. At the very least, maybe he should have said, “Instead of throwing the long bomb, sometimes we’re going to check down. But they’re really important check downs.” Because you’ve got to keep your sports metaphors timely, you know?
