Seinfeld and Obama, Driving a Stingray and Getting Coffee
They chat, they joke, they drive a classic 1963 Corvette. When President Obama appears on Jerry Seinfeld’s online show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, their conversation topics range from nothing to the sanity of world leaders and the merits of profanity.
Much of the talk also centers on what it’s like for a guy to live in the Oval Office, the White House and a position of extreme power. A recurring theme: how a regular person adjusts to both the privilege and the stress that come with the presidency.
“Bad stuff, or stupid stuff, is happening constantly, right?” Obama says. “Every day. So you have to be able to just make fun of a lot of that, like: ‘That was even dumber and more annoying than usual.’ That’s when cursing is really useful.”
