The nation is still snickering over playback of the many moments Saturday's 2016 White House Correspondents' Dinner has provided the web. One of the more lasting tidbits has proven to be the spoof retirement video CBS News captioned: PRESIDENT OBAMA'S LAST LAUGH. The 4:22 clip, which pokes-fun at everything from the 'birther' conspiracy to the president's struggle to leave the cigarettes alone, garnered 10 million views within 24 hours of its posting on The White House Facebook page.
"He's about to go from Commander-in-Chief to Couch Commander," Obama watches MSNBC host Chuck Todd say, as he sits kneeling over a laptop in the Oval Office's Resolute Desk. "F*ck you Chuck Todd!," the president exclaims before kicking his feet up and asking: "What am I going to do in DC for two years?"
A series of hard luck events moves the parody along, as he goes from being turned down by the Washington Wizards, to being doubted about his birth certificate at the DMV, to making a blunder on First Lady Michelle's Snapchat that is released to the general public and causes a scandal. He begins to find his post-presidency grounding after reaching out to former adversary, past Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner, who begins to advise him on life as a retired politician. The video ends back in the news studio, with a report that the former president had played his 347th round of golf.
In all reality Obama has eight months to map out his future, as the sitting president does not egress from office until the first of January. With daughter Malia having just settled on life away at Harvard, if nothing else, that leaves him to keep an eye on 14-year-old Sasha for the next couple of years.
