Barack Obama Reads Mean Tweets

Pilerats
Originally Appeared In

Imagine if Tony Abbott did this?.

A few weeks ago we shared a video from Jimmy Kimmel's late night show featuring musicians like Childish Gambino and Katy Perry reading mean tweets about themselves (watch HERE). That segment itself an update of just getting actors and other celebrities to do the same. Well this week Kimmel has levelled up once again, getting President Barack Obama to do the same, all on his own. And while the Tweets chosen aren't exactly over the top hectic, it's a reminder that Obama has been a pretty good sport about a lot of shit during his time in the big house, and also as he comes to end of his term, he's giving less of a shit.
