President Barack Obama watches as a marshmallow is launched by a gun designed by Joey Hudy of Phoenix, Ariz., Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012, in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington during the White House Science Fair. For a president who promotes technology at every opportunity, Barack Obama often strikes an awed, self-effacing pose around technicians, scientists and high-tech machinery. "If I'm nodding, you should just assume that everything you said is going completely over my head," he once told winners of a New York science fair. Still, he loves the stuff. On Tuesday, he revealed his inner science geek as he delightedly helped fire an eighth grader's marshmallow air cannon at the drapes of the White House's elegant State Dining Room.
