Aw, shiiit. While our Prime Minister seems to be enjoying his lowest-ever approval ratings going back and forth on Medicare co-payments, being publicly shamed on climate change, and getting shown up by a bunch of writers (no, not us), President Obama is once again showing how goddamned great he is at being a likeable human being by stepping onto The Colbert Report. Though he’s also had a bit of a rough time in the polls, Obama chose to tackle the issues head-on and poke fun at himself in the most meta, self-reflexive way possible.

In this short clip, he steps into Colbert’s role and makes jabs at his administration, his controversial Obamacare platform, and other things THE YOUTHS don’t like — lookin’ at you LinkedIn, CBS, and Fox News.

Are you watching, Tone? You have to admit it looks a lot better than being torn apart by middle-aged morning show hosts. You can watch the interview between Colbert and Obama here.
