Stephen Colbert Helps President Obama Pad His Resume On ‘The Late Show’
"Can you tell me about some of your accomplishments?"
As America creeps ever closer to Election Day, a lot of voters must be having serious regrets about that whole term limit thing. Sure, it’s enshrined in the US constitution that Presidents can’t run for a third go at office, but given the alternatives, would another four years of Obama really be all that bad?
Obama Gloriously Rips On Donald Trump In His Final Slow-Jam Of The News On ‘Fallon’
Sadly, come the ninth of November, President Barack Obama is getting turfed out the door. Out the back…and back into the job market. Of course a change in career can be difficult for a man of 55, especially one who hasn’t gotten a raise in close to eight years. Fortunately, Stephen Colbert of The Late Show had some advice on how the soon-to-be ex-Commander-in-Chief could make himself seem a tad more employable.
So what does Obama’s resume look like, anyway? His accomplishments include the brokering of “international deals that slowed the impact of climate change and prevented Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon,” or as Colbert aka Office Manager Randy puts it, “proficient in Microsoft Excel.” He also “reopened relations with Cuba for the first time in 50 years,” which is basically the same thing as speaking “conversational Spanish.”
Asked if he ever had to fire anybody, the President responded “no, I usually let SEAL Team 6 handle that,” because honestly, who wouldn’t brag about killing Bin Laden during a job interview?
