Colbert Slams Obama: You’re Asleep at the Wheel Mr. President

COLBERT: "I'm glad you're all sitting down because I have some disturbing news to report about our president. I'm sorry to say this. But I want to talk specifically about his inability to keep track of the conflicts between bloodthirsty leaders in the unstable region of Westeros. In an interview in "G.Q.," President Obama claims he loves "Game of Thrones," but he has trouble remembering the names of any of the characters. In fact-- this is true-- when they asked him his favorite character he said-- and I quote-- "My favorite character is probably the dwarf. What's his name?" What's his name, Mr. President! His name is Tyrion Lannister, of the House Lannister. Youngest son of Lord Tywin Lannister, one-time richest man in the seven kingdoms and Lord Paramount of the Westerlands. I thought you followed politics, sir! It doesn't make any sense. I mean, how you can survive in the geopolitical chess game if you can't tell the difference between Tyrion of House Lannister, and, say, Jorah Mormont, son of Jeor Mormont of House Mormont, Lords of Bear Island and the vassals of House Stark in the north? You're asleep at the wheel, Mr. President! You're asleep at the wheel! You're telling us you don't even remember Hodor's name? Well, I guess that's understandable, he only says it 50 times per episode. But perhaps most damning was what President Obama said next, and again I quote: "The only one I remember is Jon snow, because I can pronounce Jon snow." Sir, sir, that is adding insult to Jon Snow's fatal injury. Oh, sorry, spoiler alert. So I strongly advise that you start watching a little more closely, Mr. President. We're counting on you to bring peace to the seven kingdoms. And besides, nobody in all of "Game of Thrones" has a stranger name than Barack Obama. Come on! Sorry. I'm mad."
