President Barack Obama And Jerry Seinfeld: Just A Couple Of Guys ‘Getting Coffee’ (Video)

Screenshot 2016-01-07 05.12.10This “Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee” episode is everything fam. By far, the biggest “get” ever on Jerry Seinfeld’s show: President Barack Obama. Still… the baby blue 1963 Corvette Stingray Split Window Coupe he showed up in… classic sickness! Too bad they aren’t actually ‘going’ anywhere to get coffee.

Seinfeld: Uh… we’re just gonna run out for a quick coffee. We’ll be right back.
White House Security Guard: I’m sorry, sir. That’s not possible.
Seinfeld: I do this little show “Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.”
White House Security Guard: You’re a comedian with the President going nowhere. Back it up.
Seinfeld: Yes sir.

Watch. And peep, the President’s got jokes… and some pretty cool tech in his car.

Cornel West: President Obama Doesn’t Belong On Any Shirt With Martin Luther King And Malcolm X (Video)

Well damn. No let up from the man Dr. Cornel West. Outspoken plainly spoken critiques of the current U.S. President from him can be found all over the Internet (like here); so this slant is not new. But go ahead and dash any hope of a for-the-Black overture coming from the people’s PhD for President Barack Obama. Whew. Once again, Democracy Now gives the pundit a platform to speak it how he sees it.

Barack Obama commits war crimes — Somalia, Yemen. He commits war crimes in Pakistan, Afghanistan,” West said. “Martin Luther King Jr. tried to keep a spotlight on war crimes, to keep track of the innocents killed … There is a major clash. That is why I tell my young brothers and sisters when they walk around with their little sweater Martin, Malcolm and Barack Obama, I say, ‘Please. That’s like Coltrane and Sarah Vaughan and Pat Boone. They are a very different tradition.’ We love brother Pat, but he doesn’t belong on that shirt and Barack Obama doesn’t belong on that shirt. Let’s be clear.”

President Barack Obama

Oh Snap! Yes, the real President Obama – not an impersonator – appeared on Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis. Usually it’s Zach making guests squirm and getting the overall upper hand; but not on the man Obama. The way this episode came off is nothing short of hilarious! The Prez even got in a plug for Healthcare.gov.
