President Barack Obama joked with Jimmy Kimmel about Hillary Clinton’s email controversy in a Thursday night appearance, telling the talk show host he wouldn‘t give him his former secretary of state’s email address.
"I can’t share it with you,” Obama told Kimmel. “I don’t think she’d want you to have it.”
Obama took part in Kimmel’s regular series of celebrities reading mean Tweets sent to them, telling Kimmel, however, that the Tweeted insults were not as mean as “what the Senate says about me." (One Tweet: "Is there any way we could fly Obama to some golf course halfway around the world and just leave him there?" Quipped Obama: "I think that’s a great idea."
Obama also took a serious turn, decrying the shooting in Ferguson and calling for the arrest of the "criminals" who shot two police officers there. Obama said investigators don’t “yet know what happened," but he offered his prayers to the wounded officers, their families and friends.
“There's no excuse for criminal acts,” he said. “Whoever fired those shots shouldn't detract from the issue. They're criminals. They need to be arrested. And then what we need to do is make sure that like-minded, good-spirited people on both sides, law-enforcement who have a terrifically tough job and people who understand they don't want to be stopped and harassed because of their race, that we're able to work together to try and come up with some good answers."
