President Obama may be sticking around Washington, D.C., after his presidency ends in January, but don’t expect him to pull a David Wooderson, like the “Dazed and Confused” movie character did, refusing to leave his old stomping ground years after his time came to a close.
“Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon chided Obama about his plans to move two miles away from the White House next January.
“I thought you were going to be the kid from high school who never left,” Fallon said.
“It is kind of depressing. You’re like the old guy at the disco,” Obama responded.
“Having a kegger on the East Lawn saying ‘all right, all right, all right,” Fallon said, quoting Wooderson.
Obama chimed in, “People whispering, ‘he’s still here.'”
The president said he’s ready to get out of town with his wife, Michelle, and avoid the always-freezing Inauguration Day in Washington, even if that means abandoning their two teenage daughters for a while.
“I think Michelle and I will take a break for a while and let the girls manage for themselves,” Obama said.
Obama admitted he will be donning sunglasses to the high school graduation for his 17-year-old daughter, Malia. But Obama’s shades won’t be to protect his eyes from the summer sun.
“I’ve got some sunglasses. One more example of the president crying,” the emotional father said, referring to an earlier comment about being “sentimental” about conclusion of his two terms in office.
