At a joint press conference this afternoon with South Korean President Park Geun-hye, President Obama showed us once again why he is the hippest POTUS evah:

Pres Obama also jokes that his daughters have familiarized him with Gangnam Style.

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) May 7, 2013

Didn’t teach him to correctly pronounce. 🙁 RT @thefix: “my daughters have taught me a pretty good Gangnam style.” — President Obama.

— Seung Min Kim(@seungminkim) May 7, 2013

Yes, it’s as cringetastic as you imagine.

Let’s go to the videotape!

Hoo boy.

Ooph. Crickets after Obama makes terrible Gangnam Style joke.

— Blake Hounshell (@blakehounshell) May 7, 2013

Oh no, Obama mispronounces “Gangham Style.”

— Reid J. Epstein (@reidepstein) May 7, 2013

“Corpseman,” anyone?

He can still recover if he dances it. RT @reidepstein: Oh no, Obama mispronounces “Gangham Style.”

— Gabriel Malor (@gabrielmalor) May 7, 2013

Sorry. No recovery from this.

I hope the writer that encouraged Obama’s weak gangnam style joke gets fired. No kimchee jokes in there? How about a bimbimbop reference.

Ugh. “@brendan_buck: HAHAHAHAHA uh RT @evanmcsan: Obama: “my daughters have taught me a pretty good Gangnam Style.””

— Jared Small (@jaredsmall) May 7, 2013

Oh my god. Oh my god. RT @thefix: “my daughters have taught me a pretty good Gangnam style.” — President Obama. Not kidding.

Park must have been super-impressed:

Obama just made a Gangam Style joke to the President of South Korea. #ComeOnBro

— ShooMAN (@ShooMAN) May 7, 2013

omg not cool, obama. you just don’t go telling the president of korea you can gangnam style.

— Mr. Gerbear (@mr_gerbear) May 7, 2013

Well done as usual, Mr. President.

Really?Obama talks about learning a “pretty good Gangnam style” in his press conference….didn’t he remember that Psy spoke badly @ USA?

— Amy Lambert (@stevzgal17) May 7, 2013

Obama tells SKorea prez that daughters taught him “pretty good Gangnam style” Did they teach him about Psy’s US hate? twitchy.com/2012/12/07/k-p…

Spike Lee endorses Bernie Sanders

Spike Lee is feeling the Bern:

Sanders hopes Lee can help him win black voters:

And he’s cut an ad for Sanders in South Carolina:

Partial transcript via ABC News:

Waaaaake up! Wake up, South Carolina! Lee begins in the new spot first obtained by ABC News from the Bernie Sanders campaign. This is your dude, Spike Lee. And you know that I know that you know that the system is rigged! And for too long weve given our votes to corporate puppets. Sold the okie doke. Ninety-nine percent of Americans were hurt by the Great Recession of 2008, and many are still recovering.

Thats why I am officially endorsing my brother, Bernie Sanders. Bernie takes no money from corporations. Nada. Which means hes not on the tape, and when Bernie gets into the White House, he will do the right thing!

Here’s the audio:

“Wake up, South Carolina!”
