Laughing with the Pres

I just watched the video where Steven Colbert has his hair buzzed off by the commanding general in Iraq. I guess if you’re going to get your hair cut it’s good to have the General do it.

What was just as funny was the President chiming in saying he had overheard Colbert saying it would take more than a general’s orders to cut his hair. The President promptly commanded the general to cut Colbert’s hair. Colbert asked if the President’s spy satellites were that good, to which the President responded, “No, my ears are that big.” Which received a big laugh by all the soldiers. They also enjoyed watching Colbert getting buzzed by the General.

A few days ago the President was in Egypt at the Great Pyramid at Giza getting a tour. At one point the President points out a carving on the wall and remarks on how it looks just like him. It was a head that was round on top, pointed at the chin, with big ears on the side. I love that he has such a great sense of humor about himself! At last least the world is laughing with our president and not at him. That’s a step up!
