It's hard to imagine what President Obama must be going through right now. With weeks remaining in his presidency, he's watching his successor prepare to jeopardize both the country and his legacy. The future is out of his hands, and it looks pretty grim. So, what does he do? Like some sort of high school senior, he invited his buddy Bill Murray over to play golf in the Oval Office.

While putting into a cup, Obama mocks Murray's form, and briefly touches on health care, because they have to. Mostly, though, Obama teases Murray about his love for the Cubs.

"Generally, I don't let Cubs fans into the Oval Office," Obama said.

"It's probably not a coincidence that your popularity is at an all-time high," Murray said, pointing out the Cubs patch on his sleeve, "so I would just stick with this if I were you. I would just ride this baby."

Can you think of anything more therapeutic than casually shooting the shit with Bill Murray while the world crumbles? Yes, even presidents need Bill Murray to make everything okay.
