Obama says it like it is

Obama says it like it is

You know when you're in a conversation with someone and you wish you could say exactly what you feel, but you just can't? US President Barack Obama hired an 'anger translator' to do just that for him!

President Obama surprised guests at the White House at a recent Correspondents' Dinner by hiring an anger translator to tell the press how he really feels.

The part of 'Luther the Anger Translator' is played by Keegan-Michael Key from Comedy Central's "Key and Peele".

The unusual translator begins by shouting to the members of the media, "Hold on to your lily white butts!"

We could possibly call it a form of innuendo, as the translator simply says what Obama doesn't, but apparently wants to.

Together, Obama and Luther cover topics such as climate change, Ebola and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, with Obama taking the diplomatic approach, and his translator calling a spade a spade.

Tip: You really do need to watch this one until the end. 

What do you think of Obama's attempt at humour? 

Is it clever OR inappropriate considering his position as a world leader?
