Presidents, they’re just like us! They smoke, they lie, and they swear! Now that he’s already got the job on lockdown, things like this can leak and it’s not a big deal, it’s actually kind of funny. A new audio tape has come out where Barack talks about his debate performance back in May 2007. He’s very uh, candid.

Obama continues: "When you have to be cheerful all the time and try to perform and act like [the tape is unclear; Obama appears to be poking fun at his opponents], I'm sure that some of it has to do with nerves or anxiety and not having done this before, I'm sure. And in my own head, you know, there's--I don't consider this to be a good format for me, which makes me more cautious.

When you're going into something thinking, 'This is not my best ...' I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, 'You know, this is a stupid question, but let me ... answer it.' Instead of being appropriately [the tape is garbled].

So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done [that's green], and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."

I’ll give a big ‘ol LOL to that one. And yeah, it’s completely true and it’s nice to know that our new president has some common sense and a sense of humor.
