Book presentation

Timo has a book presentation to do tomorrow.
His first.
He's a tad nervous and been practising with Robbert.
Yesterday he told Robbert the highest score sofar was an 8- (slightly under an 8 on a scale of 10) And of course his aim was to get a higher score.

Robbert said they would practice till he made Obama look pale.

and if not, you simply sound like Bush Ally said.
