yeah but still
there's something to be said for delivery and timing, rehearse all you want, if you don't have a knack for telling the gags, they're just going to fall flat. Maybe he didn't write those jokes, maybe he was rehearsing one-liners while touring through the Alabama tornado devastation yesterday, but it takes more than just some good material and a little practice to make something like that work, you need a sense of humor, and I see one here.
Edit: Also, check out other presidents when they try this, it almost always looks forced and stiff.
