President Obama seems to have a hard time following his own advice.
Earlier this month, Obama criticized Donald Trump and his campaign for not treating the office of president respectfully. “This is a really serious job. This is not entertainment,” Obama said. “This is not a reality show.”
Then, in classic “do as I say, not as I do” form, he took his show on the road to Vietnam, filming a dinner with TV chef Anthony Bourdain for an upcoming episode of the CNN food and travel program “Parts Unknown.”
