Barack Obama Tells Jerry Seinfeld Being President Is Like Playing Football

But the president isn’t allowed to leave the confines of his barricaded political playground, so they don’t get to use much of the car’s four-barrel carburetor.

The president and Seinfeld chatted about what it’s like to be famous, their morning routines and what life is like in the White House.

The banter picks up toward the end of the video, and it closes out with the President getting behind the wheel of the Corvette, for a spin around the grounds. Like a true champion, the President roasts the tires a little before taking off.

When they get back to politics, Obama answers Seinfeld’s questions about the political arena, explaining that he thinks politics is “most like football”. Obama deadpanned that he “call a nuclear submarine right from here”, then teased Seinfeld: “You don’t have that do you?”

Perhaps most surprising, though, is Obama’s admission that spewing curse words at the awful, sad things he’s forced to deal with every day helps him keep his sanity in the White House.

The web series typically finds Seinfeld and select comics following the lead of the project’s title, zooming around in cool cars before nailing down caffeine fixes. Revelations included that Teddy Roosevelt would be the leader Obama would love to hang out with most, all his underwear is one brand and one color and that he has a closet like normal people.

The president, who is entering his final year in office, has appeared on several unusual shows, perhaps most notably on “Between Two Ferns” with Zach Galifianakis, in which the deadpan comedian hilariously feigns total ignorance of Obama and his policies.

And Obama says a “pretty sizable percentage” of world leaders are out of their mind.

Invoking an unfortunate incident involving the first President Bush, Seinfeld asks: “You never just leaned over and started vomiting in Japan?”

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

Obama says he agreed to do the show to make a pitch for his signature healthcare law, the Affordable Care Act.
