President Obama reads mean tweets about himself... [View all]

Obama Reads Mean Tweets About Himself on Jimmy Kimmel Live
by Matt Wilstein | 11:52 pm, March 12th, 2015 VIDEO

Jimmy Kimmel has gotten pretty much every major celebrity and sports star to read mean tweets about themselves on his show over the years. Tonight, it was President Barack Obama’s turn.

Among the nasty things Obama was forced to read aloud about himself Thursday night:

“Is there any way we could fly Obama to some golf course halfway around the world and just leave him there?”

“I think that’s a great idea,” the president said in response.

“How do you make Obama’s eyes light up? Shine a flashlight in his ears.”

“That’s pretty good.”

“Somebody send Obama some tips how to be a good president. haha, like I bet that would help. lol.”

“The LOL is redundant when you had the haha,” Obama quipped.
