President Barack Obama visited Jimmy Kimmel Live last night and did touch on some serious conversation, namely the very recent shooting of the two Ferguson police officers, which he did NOT condone. But Jimmy Kimmel, ever the clown, invited Obama to read some “mean tweets” about himself. The mean tweets, one of the very best bits on Kimmel’s show, are usually a bit more racy than the tweets Obama read (I’m sure THOSE tweets exist in abundance), but it was still extra “haha” and “lol.”
Watch Obama’s mean tweets, Kimmel and Obama’s other discussions, and other celebrities read mean tweets in the videos here below.
Jimmy Kimmel introduced the segment prefacing that presidents are always criticized, and even President Bush got ribbed for doing the late night circuit, “It’s the nature of the job I guess.” He then introduced the “All President Obama edition of Mean Tweets,” to the tune of REM’s “Everybody Hurts.”
My favorite? “A 30 rack of Coors Light $23 now at Sun Stop. Thanks, Obama.”
For the last “jeans” tweet, Jimmy came out wearing similar jeans to the ones Obama wore that sparked criticism and its own mean tweet. Obama agreed that they looked terrible. It was really nice to see Obama show off his great sense of humor.
During the conversation portion:
Kimmel: “So – when you’re at home, can you, like can you run down to the kitchen in your underpants in the middle of the night if you’re hungry?”
Obama: “I mean, I could….I don’t.”
Watch all the clips. I could cite from them all day, but would not do them justice. Ok. One more:
Jimmy: “You ever drive?”
Obama: “I cannot drive. I mean…I…I… I’m able to drive.”
Jimmy: “Is it because you don’t have a birth certificate?”
