Colbert hosted President Obama on his show Monday night, and he got right to the point.
“Are you still president after the midterms?” Colbert inquired. “That shellacking didn’t rattle the presidential seal off your podium?”

Colbert proceeded to take shots at Obama’s use of executive actions and his jobs report: “I’ll give it to you, you’ve employed a lot of people—mostly as Secretary of Defense.”
President Obama offered up his standard fare in response to Colbert’s queries: he dodged a question about the Keystone Pipeline, saying he would weigh its impact against job creation, but claimed there “aren’t a lot” of jobs it would provide Americans. He attempted to justify his use of execution actions, and defended his party against Colbert pointing out that young people have lost their enthusiasm to vote Democrat.
Obama did open up about his home life, remarking that his wife and daughters “tease me mercilessly for my big ears or my stodgy suits.”
