Barack Obama Joins Jerry Seinfeld On ‘Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee’ Premiere

Swanky. Seinfeld says the sitting president “got off just enough amusing lines” in his eight-year presidency to qualify for the appearance.

President Barack Obama may not have a future as a stand-up comedian when he leaves the White House, but he can hold his own with Jerry Seinfeld.

Some of you may not like to hear it, but Jerry likes to equate the cars he chooses to his guests, and in this episode he says that he picked America’s coolest auto for our coolest president. The president joked that the auto is outfitted with the ability to order a nuclear submarine, as well as seat warmers, to which Seinfeld replied that the latter are “pretty standard”.

“Yeah, they love me”, he says.

He continued, “That moment where you lost your anonymity, and anonymity is not something you think about as being valuable”.

Still, Seinfeld was able to sneak into an official (but stationary) Presidential limousine before he and the POTUS retired to a small in-house cafe for freshly brewed mud and chit chat.

Obama also showed off his highly secure wheels, “The Beast”, which is part of the president’s security detail.

“Teddy Roosevelt would go up to Yellowstone Park for, like, a month”, Obama said.

One brand, one color, but multiple pairs. “I’m appreciably cooler than I was two minutes ago”, Obama said.

Seinfeld also asks what sport is most like politics, eliciting one of President Obama’s longer responses.

“Can you imagine that?”

As the show s name suggests, Seinfeld ordinarily takes fellow comedians for a drive in an exotic vehicle to a diner or a coffee shop, but a burly Secret Service agent blocks Seinfeld and Obama from leaving the White House grounds.

“You can’t have that”, Obama said, laughing. Sure. We know that one quote people are looking at right now for headlines is Obama saying that numerous world leaders he has met are completely out of their minds.

“At a certain point your feet hurt, you’re having trouble peeing and you have absolute power”, Obama added.
