I failed to see the humor .

PS - apparently it WAS suppose to be funny. The interview seemed to be part propaganda for O-care & part " roasting " of Barry.

1 problem...Barry HATES being mocked. Even if it's scripted & for a good cause. His indoctrination HC program.

I give him credit for this latest non-funny attempt at humor. He's such an obnoxious tool that he actually made Obama look good. These days that's no easy feat.

FOX is real.

Sad that you're brainwashed to think otherwise.

Asking Barry what it's like to be the last black Prez...lacking & tacky.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

President Obama has taped a Between Two Ferns segment with comedian Zach Galifianakis to promote Obamacare. Time's James Poniewozik comments:

It’s a specific, unusually edgy kind of comedy for any politician, much less a sitting President –- a cringe-humor show whose whole idea is playing off staged discomfort with the guest. Obama trades insults, he stews at the clueless slights (will he build his Presidential library “in Hawaii or your home country of Kenya”?), he needles Galiafinakis about his handsome Hangover co-star Bradley Cooper. (“He kind of carried that movie, didn’t he?”)

It’s the tone of the comedy as much as the online medium that really targets the young audience Obama is pitching to here. There’s a cringe-humor generation gap; if you’re over a certain age, or simply haven’t watched much of a certain kind of contemporary comedy, you’ll probably watch it thinking that the segment is bombing and Obama is getting legitimately angry. But it’s a good fit for Obama’s sense of humor, which is a little dry and a little cutting –- in ways that don’t always play in rooms when there are no ferns present.

You think Fox News is real so it makes sense that you'd think Zach G. was doing a real interview. I don't think you get humor.

Having a sense of humor is generally required to "get" the joke, as well. Some folks can't see beyond their politics, no matter the circumstance.

This disaster was targeted at what % of Americans ? I'm thinking next to nil. What it ends up doing is showing disrespect to the office ( Yes, even with Obama in it )

Just another in the very long line of idiot decisions by this Commander OF Chief.
