Watch President Obama read mean tweets about himself on Jimmy Kimmel, reaffirming his love of golf

President Obama appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Thursday night and participated in a popular segment on the show called Mean Tweets. Obama read aloud several nasty tweets directed toward him, and as you might imagine, it didn't take long for his favorite hobby to come up.

Twitter user @RWSurfergirl asked, "Is there a way we could fly Obama to some golf course halfway around the world and just leave him there?"

To which Obama responded, "I think that's a great idea," drawing big laughs from the studio crowd. He was probably wondering if Hawaii counts.

Anyway, check out the entire clip in which Obama also addresses his gray hair, unstylish jeans, and even a complaint about the price of beer. Say what you will about his politics, but the man is a pretty good sport:
