(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) >> Stephen: THANKS SO MUCH!

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) PRESIDENT OBAMA, I'M THRILLED

YOU'RE HERE BUT I DID NOT EXPECT YOU FOR ANOTHER THREE MINUTES.

>> STEPHEN, YOU HAVE BEEN TAKING A LOT OF SHOTS AT MY JOB.

I DECIDED I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND TAKE A SHOT AT YOURS.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) I WANT YOU TO GET OUT OF THE WAY

>> Stephen: I WAS ABOUT TO DO "THE WORD," SIR.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) HOW HARD CAN THIS BE?

BUT EVEN I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT ObamaCare IS THE LAW OF THE

(LAUGHTER) FOR INSTANCE, THAT CHILDREN CAN

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD.
