Your support makes all the difference.Barack Obama might have made some figurative missteps in his presidency, but rarely literal ones.
The always cool and collected president showed never before seen clumsiness as he walked down the steps of Air Force One yesterday however, very nearly tumbling down to the airstrip below.
He's usually all making three-pointer basketball shots on the first attempt, singing Al Green and doing Jay Z 'dirt off your shoulder' gestures, but jogging out of the plane a little hastily he lost his balance and had to cling to the railing for support.
He brushed it off though, and continued his descent undeterred.
The president was travelling home from Washington DC following a golfing trip in Florida.
