   It's Obama...you have to ask?  D U D.   
      
   Unless you unzip your pants.  Then it's, "DUDE!  Let me suck you   
   off for a campaign buck!"   
      
   President Obama on Tuesday appeared in an episode of “Between   
   Two Ferns," actor Zach Galifianakis’ satirical talk show on the   
   “Funny or Die” web site. This was perhaps the boldest – or most   
   outrageous – example yet of the White House attempt to market   
   the Affordable Care Act to young people using nontraditional   
   media.   
      
   The Pajama Boy ad for Obamacare? The use of the Doge Internet   
   meme in a blast e-mail urging health insurance sign-ups? Those   
   were perhaps conventional uses of media compared to this.   
      
   That’s because “Between Two Ferns” and Mr. Galifianakis are not   
   “The Tonight Show” and Jimmy Fallon. On the show Galifianakis   
   apes a bored, unprepared cable access host. With the president   
   of the United States on, the actor made sure to establish this   
   tone right away.   
      
   “Sorry I had to cancel a few times last week,” Galifianakis   
   said. “My mouse pad broke. I had to get my great aunt some   
   diabetes shoes.”   
      
   “No problem,” replied Obama. “When I heard that people actually   
   watch this show, I was pretty surprised.”   
      
   Galifianakis went on to ask a series of “questions," such as   
   what Obama has planned for follow-up after pardoning a turkey   
   for 2013, and whether Hulk Hogan or Tonya Harding would be a   
   better US envoy to Syria.   
      
   Obama replied in kind. They did a pretty good job of acting   
   annoyed with each other. At least, we assume it was acting.   
      
   “What’s it like to be the last black president?,” Galifianakis   
   asked at one point.   
      
   “What’s it like for this to be the last time you ever talk to a   
   president?,” Obama shot back.
