I feel like Obama has probably had that word hurled at him plenty of times in his presidency thus far.
It was a good segment. And I must say, Wilmore seems to be starting to hit his stride. Several good shows the last few weeks. I don't think he'll ever be as reliable as Colbert or Stewart but he's much better than he was.
