An incredible event occurred at the White House on Friday. President Obama meekly excused himself from his own press briefing and former President Clinton took over, fielding questions for more than half an hour.
An incredible event occurred at the White House on Friday. President Obama meekly excused himself from his own press briefing and former President Clinton took over, fielding questions for more than half an hour.
Had some emergency caused President Obama to rush away? Had the red phone rung? Was North Korea bombing South Korea again? Had Iran launched an attack on Israel?
No. None of those things. He left because he was late for a party and didn’t want to piss off the First Lady.

As the Telegraph UK describes the exceedingly odd situation:
But after a few opening comments, Mr Obama made clear he had to leave and excused himself, saying that his wife, Michelle, expected his presence at one of the many parties that presidents host during the month of December.
“I’ve been keeping the First Lady waiting,” he said.
Mr Clinton, who clearly had some time on his hands, responded: “I don’t want to make her mad. Please go.”
“And don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way you, you miserable excuse for a President,” he thought to himself.
Every time we think this President can’t make himself look any weaker, he surprises us. We’d say man up, but that seems unlikely with this President.
