I think I decided why I found this story to be so charming. You very rarely hear a politician saying anything that isn't totally literal, even when joking or talking to kids. It's like when he told everyone about his father Jor-El and his home planet of Krypton. Politicians underestimate their constituency to the point of where they feel endangered if what people hear isn't absolutely what they get.
