Obama took on Zach Galifianakis in an awkward-off on the comedian's "Between Two Ferns" talk show, posted to Funny or Die on Tuesday.

Galifianakis uses his satirical forum to interview and skewer celebrities - and presidents - in cringe-worthy ways. Obama, his job is marked as "community organizer," was treated no differently, taking a series of jabs over the Obamacare rollout and other similar topics in deadpan.

Obama is trying to get laughs over people losing health care because of his law.

And Hollywood and the media applaud.

The guy is a lunatic.

Certifiable.

[LMAO]

I saw the interview. It was a dumb one but I saw a president who could not even handle a comic on a show no one watches

First thing I saw when I turned my tv on a little while ago. Really lame. A sort of “public access” lameness. The news commentators were discussing how this would appeal to the youth vote. Maybe if said youth are high on dope. Really pathetic.

I watched for a few minutes and I thought obama was going to cry when he wasn't treated like a queen. A person who can't take even the smallest joke should not try comedy.

So @BarackObama can’t take one question on #Ukraine, but he’s got time for a comedy show...because he’s a joke.

the only time I would find Obama funny would be if he was on fire and someone was pissing on him to put him out. Other than that, he’s as far as can be from “funny”

. . . on a show no one watches.

If no one watched this show, Obama wouldn't be on it.

Ha ha.
