We all know President Obama is a remarkable president. However, what some of us love so much is how human heis. He also happens to be hilarious, and he has a great sense of humor, which I would guess is necessary to have to survive Washington D.C. If you don’t believe me, check out the 13 times that President Obama proved he should be a stand up comedian.
1. At the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, President Obama cracked this joke.
2. When asked if he can’t drive because he doesn’t have a birth certificate, he responded:
“In Kenya we drive on the other side of the road.”
3. At the same White House Correspondents’ Dinner, he added this one to the mix:
4. This is what President Obama thinks a third term at president would be like:
“If I ran a 3rd time it would be like doing a 3rd Hangover movie… didn’t really work out very well did it…”
5. On Vice President Joe Biden:
“[Joe Biden] is not just a great Vice President; he is a great friend. We’ve gotten so close, in some places in Indiana they won’t serve us pizza anymore.”
6. When unable to dunk an oversized cookie in a too small glass of milk, our stand-up comedian president thanked himself.
7. On racism:
“If the sentence starts ‘Let me tell you something I know about the negro…’ You don’t really need to hear the rest of it.”
8. On Dick Cheney
“A few weeks ago, Dick Cheney says he thinks I’m the worst president of his lifetime. Which is interesting because I think Dick Cheney is the worst president of my lifetime.”
9. On Twitter:
10. On Elizabeth Hasselbeck becoming a Fox & Friends anchor:
“I’m not the first person on television between two potted plants.
11. He was on fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner:
“An American won the Boston Marathon for the first time in 30 years. Which was only fair since a Kenyan has been President for the last six.”
12. Ellen Degeneres asked the president about Pres. O’s philosophy on tattoos:
“If your daughters got tattoos, you said that you and Michelle would get the same tattoo in the same place and you’d all take a family photo.”
President Obama:
“We will reduce the cool factor of any tattoo.”
13. On John Boehner (again):
“They’re giving John Boehner a harder time than they give me. Which proves orange is the new black.”
