For example, it took more than a year of watching Obama play poker in "the Committee Meeting" - the nickname that Illinois state senators gave their regular, after-hours poker games - for legislator Denny Jacobs to notice Obama's occasional offhand references to Hawaii's nearly year-round 85-degree weather.
