President “I won’t rest until I [insert any number of incomplete tasks here]” still has plenty of time to yuk it up with fake newsman Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central’s fake news show. It’s not like there’s anything important going on in the world or anything.
He apparently engaged in some top secret comedy because the content of the show is “embargoed” until 11:30pm
From pool report after Stephen Colbert interviewed Obama: "Content of the show is embargoed until 11:30 pm ET, but take it from me: Funny."

@lynnsweet MSM"respects" embargo-if I were an editor I'd find an audience mole and report it NOW!

@lynnsweet There is no legitimate reason for an "embargo" on an entertainment show witnessed by a couple hundred audience members!

But only for members of the White House press corps … to return the favor.

@Cameron_Gray @LiberalMediaSux America craves leadership – obama craves fun at America's expense.
