Watch: What’s Dumber Than Mitt Romney’s Obama Joke? The Crowd Listening To It
President Obama went to the bank to cash a check and he didn’t have his ID. And the teller said you’ve got to prove who you are.
He said, “How should I do that?” She said the other day Phil Mickelson came in, he didn’t have his ID but he set up a little cup on the ground, took a golf ball, putted it right into that cup so they knew it was Phil Mickelson. They cashed his check.
And then Andre Agassi came in. And Andre Agassi didn’t have his ID either. He put a little target on the wall, took a tennis ball and racquet– hit it onto that target time. We knew that was Andre Agassi so we cashed his check.
And she said to him, “Is there anything you can do to prove who you are?” And [Obama] said, “I don’t have a clue.”
And she said, “Well, Mr. President, do you want your money in small bills or large bills.”
Aside from the fact that this joke seems to be mostly plagiarized from Republican voter I.D. model legislation, it’s a great illustration of the GOP base, who are the only people who still think you go to “banks” and cash “checks,” and that Andre Agassi is still a thing.
