Like a lot of busy Americans, Barack has to put a little bit of planning into where and when he will be able to watch highlights from this year's Democratic convention as he campaigns across the country. Very often he has to rely on the hospitality of others to catch a few minutes of the convention on TV.Monday, Barack was welcomed into the Girardeau household where he watched Michelle deliver her convention speech. The Kansas City family joined Barack in the living room on couches and ottomans as Michelle took the stage.Barack was proud: "I thought she was good. She was fantastic." When his daughters Sasha and Malia walked out he added "and it's the peas!"On Tuesday, Barack dropped by a convention watch party in Billings, Montana, surprising the 15 guests of Eran Thompson, who is one of Obama's local field organizers. Barack led the move to switch the channel to CSPAN in order to watch Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer's speech. The group then watched Hillary Clinton's speech with rapt attention."That was excellent, that was a strong speech. She made the case for why we're going to be unified in November and why we're going to win this election. I thought she was outstanding," Barack said afterward.Enjoy this video from Monday and slides from Tuesday:
