Hilarious Obama memes
Everyone needs a little comic relief, especially those who follow the tumultuous world of politics.
It's no wonder so many memes about the president seem to go viral. Here are some of the funniest that spread around the internet during and after President Barack Obama's time in office.
Vice President Joe Biden is often depicted as getting scolded by Obama in memes.
