Personal friend barack, as he has asked me not to call him, president obama. Well, it turns out the president and i had so much to talk about, we actually couldnt fit it all in one show. I mean, we could have, but that would have meant more time with an american icon, and fewer commercials for nasal decongestant and obviously no one wants that.
