Barack Obama gives a job interview, doesn’t fare well

A soon-to-be out of work Barack Obama suffered the indignities of the job interview at the hands of The Late Show host Stephen Colbert.

In a taped segment that aired Monday night, Mr Obama got in an appeal to millennials to vote on November 8 and shamelessly plugged his accomplishments as President.

But Mr Colbert, in the guise of clueless office manager “Randy,” was not impressed.

“55. Tough time to start over for a man,” he said, looking over Mr Obama’s resume.

“I don’t see any promotions for the last eight years. That’s not always good. Can you explain that ” Mr Colbert asks.

“Honestly, there wasn’t a lot of room for advancement in my last job,” said Mr Obama. “The only one with a more powerful position was my wife.”

Mr Obama gave no hint about what he actually might like to do after vacating the White House in January, and while he encouraged the youth of America to get out and vote in November, he did not say who they should vote for.

But when Mr Colbert gave him a choice between “an extra fiber nutrient bar, which has travelled to more than one hundred countries, or this shrivelled tangerine covered in golden retriever hair, filled with bile that I wouldn’t leave alone with the woman I love,” Mr Obama said: “I think I’ll go with the fiber nutrient bar.”
