Key Teams Up at the White House

I'm pretty sure most of us have seen, or at least heard of, the hilarious show called "Key and Peel". If you haven't however, or just aren't very keen on the details, let me catch you up. Key and Peel is on Comedy Central and their show pretty much consists of comedic strips they act out together, some are just random and others are to make fun of people. Specifically an ongoing segment Key does about making fun of Barack Obama. He pretty much crops himself into Obama's speeches, takes his kind gestures, and makes them into something that "Obama really meant"(click here for examples). Now to return the favor, Obama recently invited Key to the White House, for a very comedic kind of night. The mood was kept light and tons of jokes were made, and in my opinion, it turned out to be quite successful.

A lot of the times we have Presidents that get too into politics to remember what it's like to have fun. Now, I understand that it is not there fault and I commend them for getting into so into their work (it is our country we are protecting). However I think it is nice that Obama takes time to chill out, a while back he had a concert acknowledging some of the best voices of our time. It's also cool that he can still joke around, such as having Key join him last night.  What a great way to lighten the mood, putting away all the condescending factors of life for a night and just having fun. 

Last night was a perfect example of how great nights should look like in the white house, and how just a little bit of fun once in a while, can go a long ways.
