The Colbert Report - President Obama Delivers The Decree

President Barack Obama delivers a special edition of The Word, proving that he is perfectly capable of doing Stephen's job.

About The Colbert Report:
As America's most fearless purveyor of "truthiness," Stephen Colbert shines a light on ego-driven punditry, moral hypocrisy and government incompetence, raising the bar for political satire.

The ability to mock one's self is an example of extraordinary character. America is losing one kick-ass President.

[Psnowdog]

Say what you will about Obama's policies. He is so freaking cool and I'm gonna miss having this man as a president.

[twiztedbuddha]

Who's here in 2019 wishing we still had a president that acted like a president, while being able to laugh at himself

[xastielmuffinz]

remember when the President can show up in talk shows, even comedy shows. and isnt afraid to make fun of himself?

[ekeb]

This Obama kid got talent. This guy is going places, I'm telling you.

[joshuaboyd]

Obama has such a wonderful sense of humor and has shown more grace than any President in the face of so much hatred towards him.  Respect.

[aligensa]

"He's so arrogant that he talks about himself in the third person." The USA has a president now for whom that is actually true!

[cctomcat]

He may not have been agreeable at every turn, but at least that man was worthy of being called a president of the United States.

[ajjolly]

*This* is how you connect with the people, take a few jokes, and show charisma

[nanusha]

You gotta admit, this man has good comedic timing

[TheNN]

"Move it to CBS?"

Wow that aged interestingly.

[rajnishsharma]

USA was lucky to have a leader like him, respected worldwide

[chinyereugwu]

As a British person watching this it's so entertaining. I can't believe that Americans could possibly be going from this guy to Trump for your next president. Unreal. What did you do? America must have done something very very wrong in it's previous life to deserve this punishment. Talk about Hero to Zero.

Obama: "How do you stop something that more and more people are starting to like?"

text: "Move it to CBS?"

Right in the feels.

[DarkPsychoMessiah]

That cheering, that applause and the standing ovation at the end, all of it is real and genuine. No wonder DJT personally hates BHO

[OttoRappTheMystic]

watching this now, I am almost in tears! And I am not even American - I can just imagine how you must feel!

[MsGrapeNehi]

Somehow, I can't see Trump ever doing something like this. He can't handle even the slightest criticism without having a meltdown. Making fun of HIMSELF would probably give him a stroke.

[TheJaredtheJaredlong]

Say what you will about Obama, but there's no denying that every president after him is going to be very boring; Obama has at the very least made an honest effort to get the younger generation involved with politics, and looking at the current front-runners for the 2016 election, no one comes close to making the well-being of millennials a priority. 

Edit: 2 years later and I've never been more wrong.

[timmothycopeland]

this man had a decent sense of humor and could laugh at himself openly without becoming hostile and petulant. Not perfect, but he sure brought dignity and class to the White House.

[dodopoopinpoop]

I'm not a Dem or a Rep, I'm part of the common fucking sense party and Obana Care and all the points Obama makes are COMMON SENSE!!
