2012 was a simpler time, when we could call our President an asshole in an endearing, funny way and capture the moment for the masses to enjoy. Right? That’s a thing, right? That’s what Anna Kendrick did anyway, when she had the opportunity to meet President Obama at a Los Angeles campaign event, where the president wove in praise for Up in the Air during his opening remarks. “I hope I didn’t embarrass you earlier?†Obama asked Kendrick when they shook hands, to which she had the audacity to respond: “Yeah, you’re such an asshole.†A bonafide A-bomb! “I called him an asshole and scolded him for not knowing enough about the 50 states,†Kendrick recalled, “so that was what made him double over with laughter.â€
There’s photographic evidence of the laughter, so congrats to Kendrick.
