Barack Obama - Slow Jam The News with President Obama lyrics

[President Obama] Hello. I'm President Barack Obama, and I too, would like to slow jam this news [Jimmy Fallon] Hit me eight times! [President Obama] It's been an honor and a privlidge to serve as your president over the past eight years When I first took office, our nation was facing one of the worst recessions in its history Since then, we've added more than 14 million new jobs and lowered the unemployment rate to under 5% Through the actions of my administration, we were able to stimulate the economy and get our country back on track [Jimmy Fallon] Oooh yeah President Obama stimulating long-term growth in both the public and the private sector In 2008, the country wasn't feeling in the mood It was too tired, stressed, said it had a headache Barack lit some candles and got some silky satin sheets (Silky satin sheets now) He told the American people, "Yes, we can" Yes, we can, it's alright He created tons of jobs for you and me He's got one more left for Hillary [President Obama] As President I'm proud of the many progressive steps our country has taken in recent years, both socially and environmentally The United States has been a leader in developing clean energy to ensure the health of our planet for future generations Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, an additional 20 million Americans now have access to quality health care And same s** couples across the country now have a constitutional right to marry In short, climate change is real, health care is affordable, and love is love [Jimmy Fallon] Mm, mm, mmm Commander and preach You gotta listen to my man, Bar-eezus He's accomplished a lot in eight years Even when congress tried to block him, he found a way in through the back door When Republicans gave him lemons, he made so much lemonade Beyonce started calling him, "Barack-y with the good hair" "Barack-y with the good hair" His first two terms ended in such a hurry Wish he could go for three, like my man Steph Curry [President Obama] Now, now, there will be no third term. I can't stay forever Besides, daddy's got a Hawaiian vacation booked in about... 223 days, but who's counting? That being said, the American people faced an important decision this fall The entire world is watching and they look to for stability and leadership Now, I know some of the presidential candidates have been critical of my foreign policy I don't want to name any names (He's talking about Donald Trump) But, I believe it is of the upmost importance to work along side of the world leaders That's why I signed Iran nuclear deal That's why we reopened diplomatic ties with Cuba And that's why I negotiated the new trade deal called the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the TPP [Jimmy Fallon] Now, hold on there, "Prez Dispenser" Are you saying you're down with TPP? [President Obama] Yeah, you know me Look, Jimmy, the TPP allows American businesses to sell their products both at home and abroad The more we sell abroad, the more higher paying jobs we provide here at home, it's that simple [Jimmy] So-so what you're is this trade deal will help put every day Americans back to work, work, work, work, work Put it back to work, work, work, work, work He put it back to work, work, work, work, work (Work, work, work, work, work) Now, Mr. President, since you're here I gotta ask, have you been watching all the election covers this week about... Donald Trump? [President Obama] No, but I have been watching my new favorite show, "Orange Is Not the New Black" [Jimmy Fallon] Woah, woah, woah I'ma need you to Netflix and chill I get it if you're a little wound up after all this time I mean, I can't imagine what it'd be like to do the same job for eight straight years [President Obama] Jimmy, you probably never will (Does Obamacare cover burns?) America's best days are still yet to come [Jimmy Fallon] Thank you, Mr. President, for all that you've done This country's on track and that is a fact Once you go Barack, you will never go back Thank you for leading the red, white, and the blue! That is how we slow jam the news! [President Obama] Oh yeah!
