US President Barack Obama may be the leader of the free world, but in his own home he’s revealed he’s just another daggy dad.
“When I go home, Michelle, Malia, Sasha give me a hard time and there are no trumpets and they tease me mercilessly, about my big ears,” he said during an appearance on American talk show The Colbert Report.
Speaking with host Stephen Colbert on the satirical show, he said he “loved” his job.
“It’s an incredible privilege, but you’re not thinking about it in terms of titles. You’re thinking about, how do you deliver for the American people?”
The US President also took the opportunity to switch jobs by pretending to be Colbert and making comments about himself.
“This guy is so arrogant, I bet he talks about himself in the third person,” he said, grinning.
After Colbert praised US unemployment figures, Obama launched into a long answer on the need to raise the minimum wage in America.
"I'll give it to you. You've employed a lot of people ... mostly as secretary of Defense," Colbert said, speaking several days after Obama nominated his fourth Pentagon chief in six years.
"Well - that's boosted our numbers a little bit," the president shot back.
Prying into the realm of day to day stuff, Colbert asked Obama if he does things like leave his socks on the floor.
"I do," the US chief executive said.
