John Hodgman Asks Obama, "Are You a Nerd?"

Posted by samzenpus on from the gooble-gobble-one-of-us-one-of-us dept.

Hugh Pickens writes "Watch a video of comedian John Hodgman speak after Barack Obama at the recent Radio and Television Correspondents Association dinner in DC and discuss the central question of our age: "how we can heal the great and shameful division that has plagued our nation for so long — the age old conflict between jocks and nerds" and ask Obama: Are you now, or have you ever been, a nerd?"

  1. He is President of the United States by Haxzaw · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    When did all of this disrespect for the position of our President start? Must have been around the first Clinton Administration. He tried to appeal to the younger crowd by appearing on MTV, and dressing casually, etc. I'm not talking about necessarily respecting the man, but respect the position. I haven't respected a President since Ronald Reagan, but I do respect the position. The President should not appear on talk shows, MTV, movies, or sitcoms. The President is not our friend or buddy. Discipline is needed to keep respect and authority.
