Joe Rogan Wants Barack Obama to ‘Loosen Up’ After Calling Him ‘Best President Ever’

Joe Rogan, the UFC color commentator, has always been outspoken about his political views on his well-known podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. The 55-year-old is undaunted by the criticism over his podcast and continues to release new episodes. He gives his audience his thoughts on important issues. In a recent episode, the veteran UFC commentator discussed Barack Obama and dubbed him the ‘greatest president ever.’

Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States for two terms from 2009 to 2017. Because of the way Obama handled himself in front of his constituents and the way he spoke, Rogan thinks he is the ideal example of a President for his country.

“Being president and like being a statesman and like really being an example of what we would hope president would be in terms of the way he handles himself and communicates. He is the best president ever. He’s the best ever… As far as like being example like that looks like the president of the United States of America, that’s what I like…” Rogan said. 

Despite pointing out some of the former president’s shortcomings, the MMA fanatic thinks Obama was a great choice for the position. The veteran UFC analyst continued to praise the 44th US president. He further said, “I wish someone could talk to him and get him to loosen up…” Rogan said. 

Obama has always received glowing praise from Rogan. He even expressed an interest in having Barack Obama on his podcast in an earlier episode.
