Barack Obama may be the President of the United States, but for a few minutes on Monday, he was also Stephen Colbert, outgoing host of “The Colbert Report.”
Obama sat down for an interview with Colbert in Washington — his third appearance on the show — and surprised the host by taking over the taping for a segment.
“You’ve been taking a lot of shots at my job, I’ve decided to take a shot at yours,” Obama said before taking over for Colbert on “The Word,” a segment where Colbert (in this case, Obama) says a line or two before a witty word or phrases flashes to the right. “How hard can this be? I am just going to say whatever you were about to say.”
From there, Obama launched into a monologue about Obamacare, congressional Republicans and his last two years in office.
