On Tuesday, President Barack Obama joined comedian Zach Galifianakis on his Funny or Die web-based interview program, Between Two Ferns. The interview immediately became contentious when Galifianakis launched into a series of critiques of Obama’s presidency to which the president was unable to respond… because they were asinine.
“When I heard that people actually watch this show, I was actually pretty surprised,” the president began.
“In 2013, you pardoned a turkey,” Galifianakis noted. “What do you have planned for 2014?”
“We’ll probably pardon another turkey,” Obama replied.
The interview became tense when Galifianakis probed Obama over what he appeared to believe was his decision to send a series of celebrity ambassadors to countries like “North Ikea.”
“What is it like to be the last black president?” Galifianakis pressed.
“What’s it like for this to be the last time you ever talk to a president?” Obama countered.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The man-child was probably told to go on as an easy boost for his image among LIVs. But it sounds like this kid asked him tougher questions than 99% of the “journalists” in DC.
Zach Galifianakis
I’m not really sure what to think of this guy. He comes across as really strange, but sometimes is just funny as hell. I can’t believe that idiot zero actually agreed to sit down with him.
But then again, I can’t believe three quarters of what that idiot zero does.
friends are posting on facebook and saying ‘let’s not get into politics’, but this is funny. Yet, this stuff is bread and circuses for the left to keep them on the reservation because the President is ‘cool’.
““What’s it like for this to be the last time you ever talk to a president?”
Sounds like a threat to me by the “bring a gun” president.
The interviewer’s line about making divorce among same sex couples illegal - and then see how badly they want gay marriage - was funny.
Who was the first?
Clinton soiled the Oval Orifice,
Obama back-filled it with EOs.
The dignity of the office was sullied long ago..
Oh Please. This is like watching a WWE match. Fake,fake,fake. and if anyone believes it wasn’t staged, they are idiots.
It is cringe humor, not fake.
Galifianakis is the first interviewer to ask Obama a direct question about the birth certificate and to confront Obama on being born in Kenya.
Obama is an embarrassment. Zach asked some pretty good questions that I think are more serious than most reporter questions.
What’s it like for this to be the last time you ever talk to a president?” Obama countered.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I’d pay to make that happen.
With Obama in the middle the show could be called “A Fern Between Two Ferns”
