Obama

A: Welcome back, talk to our President Obama. I wanna talk about some lighter stuff about dealing with the pressure of being President. Now,I know you quit smoking.
B: I did. I did. It’s better to quit.

A: It’s out?
B: It;s out.
A: All right. Remember you are under oath.
B: I am.

A: So … so tell me how you cope with the daily pressure. How does… Big on exercise. Work out in the morning with Michelle.
B: We’ve got a little gym in the White House. She’s in better shape than me, though.So…

A: And she’s very competitive?
B: She is. And so it’s embarrassing sometimes. She will get up there a half an hour earlier than me. She will have already run 10 miles or something. ANd I’m, you know staggering up to the gym. As President, everything is public. And I turned on the news last night, and I see my President at a very famous restaurant here in Los Angeles called “Roscoes Chicken and Waffles”

A: Now, I think you ordered the Country Boy Special. What is that?
B: Wings and waffles.
A: Wings. So…
B: WIth hot sauce.So the fried chicken wings, waffles with syrup and hot sauce.

A: Now, is Michelle… I mean, she’s sitting back, watching the news. Here you are scarfing down the waffles.
B: Originally, it was just a way to ,you know, be out there and say hi to everybody,
A:but once we got in the car, it smelled pretty good.
B: So, I’m eating the wings, get the hot sauce on there. You know, the fancy presidential limousine… smelling like chicken. ANd we were actually going to a fund-raiser with Willl Smith and Jada. And I didn’t realize it was so close. So, suddenly, we pull up and my sleeves were rolled up, and I got a spot on my tie. And my fingers are… I’m looking for one of those Wet Ones to see chicken on my teeth. Anyway, it was not elegant, but outstanding chicken.
