Pres. Obama spoofs Kevin Spacey for April Fools’ Day

WASHINGTON — For three seasons, Kevin Spacey has tried to look presidential as Frank Underwood on Netflix’s “House of Cards.”

Now, it’s President Barack Obama’s turn to impersonate Frank Underwood.

The president recorded the spoof as an April Fools’ Day video on the White House website.

Just like Spacey, he turns and speaks directly to the camera in an ominous accent, saying, “This is not Frank Underwood. This is Barack Obama. Happy April Fools’ Day. Frank learned it from me.”
