Watching Barack Obama read mean tweets about himself is extremely funny

Barack Obama seems to be taking things easy now that his tenure as president is reaching the home straight.

He doesn't need to worry about getting elected again so there's no harm in him posing with a selfie stick, playing endless games of golf, or apparently appearing on a late night chat show and reading out rude tweets.

As part of the ongoing series on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show on Thursday night, Obama read out a handful of rude messages people had left about him on Twitter.

And like the rest of the series of celebrities reading out rude tweets, it was incredibly funny.
