Obama’s Big Admission: “I Spend Most of My Time Watching ESPN in the Morning”

12.12.2014 | Matt Fox |

There’s nothing shocking about this clip…except for the fact that President Obama is finally admitting what everyone already knew.

In an interview on ESPN’s The Herd with Colin Cowherd this morning, Obama revealed how he gets most of his days started.

“I spend most of my time watching ESPN in the morning,” the president said. “I get so much politics, I don’t want to be inundated with a bunch of chatter about politics during the day.”

In other words, he doesn’t want to be “inundated” with the burden of actually having to do his job on a regular basis.

But wait, there’s more:

“I can’t sit down and watch an entire game, except maybe the Super Bowl or the NBA finals or the World Series,” Obama lamented. “Yeah, I might be able to on one day watch the whole game. There are times I will admit at night when I’ve got a really fat briefing book where I might have the game on with the sound off.”

Oh, my! Say it ain’t so! A president forced to watch a game with the sound off? Blasphemy!

Who knew our leader was stricken with so many First World Problems?
