Presidents always wonder what they’ll do when they leave office. In the case of Barack Obama there’s no question. He leaves office on January 21, 2013 and will open the next night at the Improv in Las Vegas.
“Let have a big round of applause, ladies and gentlemen, for the comedy stylings of Barack ‘Shecky’ Obama.”
Reuters has the hilarious details:
President Barack Obama reassured Jewish donors on Monday he strongly supports Israel, stressing close ties between the United States and the Jewish state, but also emphasizing that changes in the Middle East will require a fresh look at the region.
“Both the United States and Israel are going to have to look at this new landscape with fresh eyes. It’s not going to be sufficient for us just to keep on doing the same things,” Obama said at the first of two big-ticket fund-raisers where he was speaking on Monday evening.
He addressed the crowd of about 80 people a month after a speech on the Middle East that exposed a rift between the United States and Israel. At Monday’s dinner, hosted by Americans in Support of a Strong U.S.-Israel Relationship, he said his administration had done more than any for 25 years to support Israel’s security.
And then he said, “I just flew in and, man, are my arms tired. I used to live in an apartment that was so small the mice were hunchbacked. Take my wife. Please. Thank you. Thank you very much. I’ll be here all week.”
Everyone’s laughing except the Israelis.
