SANTA MONICA (AP) — He’s still got two
years left on his current contract, but
President Barack Obama is already
fantasizing about the day he can go to
work in sweatpants.
And he’s got at least one job offer.
Obama was answering questions Thursday
from young entrepreneurs at the office
facility Cross Campus when one go-getter,
Ariel Jalali, pitched his startup Sensay, a
mobile app corporation.
“The question is really more in the form of
an offer,” he said. “I wanted to get a jump
on the competition in offering you your
next gig. It’s super rewarding. You get to
help people.”
Obama asked with a laugh, “You’re offering
me a job?”
“That’s right,” Jalali said.
“Wow, OK,” the president said.
Jalali continued: “You can help anyone from
anywhere using your — nothing more than
your brain and a smartphone, and you can
do it anonymously. So, what do you think?”
The audience laughed along with Obama
and his would-be employer. Obama did
allow that being president had been a
privilege but that eight years was long
enough. Being able to dabble in the issues
of the day while wearing sweatpants and a
baseball cap sounded attractive, he
admitted.
“But I think I’d have to check out your
perks,” the president said. “Do you have,
like, a sushi bar?”
