The Cleveland Cavaliers visited the White House on Thursday to celebrate their NBA Championship, and before a photo shoot Iman Shumpert's jaw hit the floor as he learned in real time that President Obama's podium was - that's right - portable.

One has to imagine that there are countless other aspects of the White House more objectively tantalizing than the transportation of a podium, but alas, sometimes we can't pick and choose what excites us.
