Ok, that was pretty funny.

"I'm calling to publicly apologize for messing up your game."

That's MY President!

w00t

Just one more reason to like Obama - he knows when he's hurt a dude's chances of scoring and needs to make amends.

A wingman never clips his partner's wings!

I can't upvote this because the actual call is about 45 seconds long, and the rest is commentary I just skipped through to get to the goods. Maybe if it had a different title, like "College commentators riff on Obama call." As it stands though, it's misleading.

So for who else was looking for the original, the guy's name is Nicholas Lovelady, and the audio clip was apparently first made public here
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6507106
(that is also where the laugh 'track' is coming, I figured Obama did it on a talk show or something, but the laughing comes from playing the audio recording in a program with audience I guess)

How strange it feels to laugh with a politician, and a powerful one at that, rather than at him.

The thing is, he's the fucking President! The President! ...and he's calling a lowly reporter to apologize of all things. Now that, my friends, is humility.

Obama has shown time and again that he is far more humble than he is arrogant - a characteristic that the people require for them to see a public figure as a truly selfless, decent individual.

Except that this was two years ago.

i wish obama would salt my game, at least i'd have an excuse

Even though it was two years ago, that STILL makes him the coolest motherfucker to ever get elected. Well, except for maybe TEDDY THE BULLY FUCKING AWESOME ROOSEVELT.

"If she's that superficial she's not worth it."

WORDS TO LIVE BY.

This is both old news and TYT piggybacking on one of my favorite radio shows (Wait Wait Don't Tell Me). Peter Sagel's explanation on the original clip is better, too, though I guess we'd have to post that on Audiosift.

HEY! Fuck you and your pussy Teddy "Nancyboy" Roosevelt -- Andrew fucking JACKSON, muthaFUCKA! How many men did mincing Teddy kill? What, 30 - 40 in that whole San Juan Hill Rick-Roll? What a wuss! 20 years after he died, Andrew Jackson crawled out of his grave, killed the entire population of Cincinnati, Ohio, and WIPED HIS BABY-ARM-SIZED DICK RIGHT ACROSS THEIR FACES!

But you don't have to worry about that from Obama -- that cat's got class!

I read about this back in the day, but it's nice to hear it.

You guys are BOTH FUCKING WRONG-- ITS ALL ABOUT WASHINGTON MOTHAFUCKAAASSSS! http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Truth-about-George-Washington-in-song

Except that this was two years ago.

Oh SHIT! He was only a US senator back then!! I mean senators act humble all the time. This video is meaningless now.

Uh, yeah, my comment was in response to the one above it:

Point is, Obama as a senator calling someone to appologize is still pretty fucking cool. Says something about the character of the next president. Pointing out that the phone call was from 2 years ago doesn't change much and the rest of zombieater's post is still valid.

Not saying you were wrong to correct him though.

I know you were joking, but audiosift.com is an actual website!
I just checked it out. Seems to be mostly about crappy hip hop, and not really related to the real Sift.

My kind of president. *promote
