President Obama definately has a chance at a 2nd career should he lose in November. The president demonstrated a seamless standup comedy skill at a recent dinner. Obama proved nothing is too sacred for a comedian, even if that comedian is commander-in-chief.
Jimmy Kimmel traded blows with Obama and both men came out unscathed. Some of Obama's jokes include:
Starts out with him sitting on the john, not knowing his mic is on while he is on the phone. He complains for having to "open" for Jimmy Kimmel and how he shouldn't have to be here. Then the toilet flushes and he enters the stage and tells everyone how glad he is to be here.
Obama: My father was born in Kenya, my mother was born in Kansas, and of course I was born in Hawaii (then he gives a wink)
He talks about how Hillary Clinton won't stop drunk-texting him, how great it was of Congress to take a break from not passing any laws to be there, and showed a picture of Morgan Freeman saying that's what he'll look like 4 years from now. And now that I think of it, didn't someone get kicked off TMF or had their posts removed, for posting pictures of Freeman saying that's what Obama will look like in 4 more years?
Obama says Jimmy Kimmel got his start on The Man Show. Today, that's what we call a congressional hearing on contraception.
He mentions Huffington Posts recent pulitzer prize. He says they deserve it, because there's no other news organizations out there linking to hard hitting journalism stories, like the huffpo. And, they don't pay them, that's a great business model, O' said.
Obama to Newt Gingrich: Newt, there's still time man!
Obama: I'm not going to attack any of the candidates. Take Mit Romney... he and I both have degrees from Harvard. I have one, he has two... what a snob!
Obama said Romney recently watched the movie Hunger Games, in which contestants court corporate sponsors and then brutally attack one another until only one is left standing. I'm sure that was really a great change of pace for him.
The president said he had alot more material prepared but he has to get the secret service home in time to meet their new curfew.
Kimmel took the stage and said good evening to everyone, and Shalom to Obama. Mr. President I know you won't be able to laugh at any of my jokes about the secret service, so cover your ears if that's physically possible.
If the secret service fiasco would have happened during Bill Clinton's watch, you can be sure they would have been severely disciplined with some serious hi-five's.
Kimmel said if someone told him many years ago that he would be standing on the same stage as President Barack Obama, he would have said "The president's name is Barack Obama!?"
Kimmel to Obama: Mr. President remember when you said the country would rally around you for the hopes of a better tomorrow? That was hilarious, one of your best ones yet.
Kimmel said there's a term for guys like Obama who have led the country like he has. Probably not two terms though.
Kimmel said it's hard to be funny with the president sitting right next to you. And yet Joe Biden seems to do it day in and day out.
Mrs. Obama is right, you can tell how out of shape Americans are by the way we protest. We use to march. Now we just occupy.
