So, President Obama last week tried a new tact in approaching the American people, in particular regarding the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare).
He went on "Between Two Ferns" with Zach Galifianakis, which if you have been living in a cave for a while and are unfamiliar with it, is a comedic parody of late night talk shows.
It was actually pretty funny, with pre-scripted (but still funny) barbed exchanges between the two men. Not sure it rates with the one featuring Steve Carroll, which was probably my favorite, or Justin Bieber, another very funny one. But still, this one was pretty funny.
Obviously, Obama is trying to take a very different approach than the all-serious one that he tends to be known for during his presidency. Nor is he the only president to have done so, as Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton both did that before him.
Here is an article about it, which also features the video feed, so you can watch and judge for yourself:
