After an unsuccessful call to the Washington Wizards, an awkward encounter at the DMV and a Snapchat mishap, the President called a former colleague, the now-retired Speaker of the House John Boehner, for some advice. It was, of course, a joke—the video accompanied the president’s speech at the Saturday dinner, during which Obama [literally dropped a mic at the end of his remarks.](http://President Obama's term in office is nearing its end and the commander-in-chief is trying to figure out what's next for him after he and his family move out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue next January.) The President cracked jokes about CNN, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and, of course, his graying hair. “You all look great,” Obama said. “The end of the Republic has never looked better.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4314589/president-obama-video-retirement/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4314589/president-obama-video-retirement/"},"headline":"President Obama Spoof Video Shows How He'll Spend His Retirement","datePublished":"2016-05-02T17:49:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T17:12:19.720Z","description":"Including a Snapchat mishap","url":"https://time.com/4314589/president-obama-video-retirement/","keywords":["Barack Obama","White House"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltccb2ced2713effeb/698891762dce01b2929e8e49/gettyimages-526700554.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltccb2ced2713effeb/698891762dce01b2929e8e49/gettyimages-526700554.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"White House Correspondents' Dinner Party","caption":"White House Correspondents' Dinner Party","creditText":"Pool—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4314589/president-obama-video-retirement/","name":"President Obama Spoof Video Shows How He'll Spend His Retirement"}}]}] ```
