Conservative Twitter wit Stephen Miller unleashed his latest “President Ash Carter” joke recently at the unseriousness of the outgoing president: “President Ash Carter has made an unannounced visit to troops in Afghanistan. Barack Obama announced he’s going on The Daily Show.”
While liberals complain that Donald Trump will never be serious enough to be president, or insist Trump must grant a press conference, Obama is keeping up with his round of adoring interviews with liberal late-night comedians, from Stephen Colbert to Samantha Bee.
The show began with Daily Show host Trevor Noah apologizing profusely for delaying the president his platform, and Obama joking “You guys wouldn’t book us. I kept on calling.” Noah began by asking, as surrogate for a gobsmacked liberal audience, about Obama’s reaction to the CIA declaring Russia hacked the election “to sway the election for Donald Trump.”
