So we happened to be in Vegas with so much of the Tiger Woods’ scandal play out. He made a statement in Florida, but he didn't take any questions from reporters,we may have landed an exclusive with the golfer. Of course this is just a wax figure here, at Madame Tussauds on the strip. What's interesting is they have a presidential exhibit that's been expended¹ to celebrate President's Day, they've got a little surprise for President Obama. We're gonna take a look at it. So we are in the spirit of America room. They've got founding fathers; they've got 43rd president; they've got all kinds of American icons², like the astronauts went to the moon in silvery. Back history month, we've got Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, but here is what I really like, the Oval Office.

 

This is the resolute³ desk famously used by J.F. K. That’s where John called out, of course President Obama's now using this desk, here a little photo bow the dog out there. This is pretty cool. Right? this is president, pretty much his height, looks like him. What I really love is who's on speed dial. I tell you a lot about president, Michelle, of course his wife, Joe Biden, the United Nations, Bono, the Vatican maybe need some guides, maybe a little entertainment, Michael Jordan, OK, president is a basketball fan, he is from Chicago, but Oscar Goodman just doesn't ring true, the mayor of Las Vegas has been beating up on the president for going after Las Vegas lately. I don't think there’s some speed dial anymore.

 

All right, politics’ out of way now for the front part, Larry King, this is good like this, more than 50 years in broadcasting. How's you doing so far, pretty good. This is what I've always wanted to do. Here is my robe, go party with Mr. Hafner.
