"Shuck and jive" has been used in association with Obama before. Back in
2008, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who was supporting Hillary Clinton at the

House Press Secretary Jay Carney also used the phrase during a briefing last

At least I think you're playing stupid - maybe I'm giving you too much credit?
