President Obama, appearing on The Colbert Report, said "look, the election didn't go as it, uh as I would have liked. You notice, I made a little correction there, I had a little thought bubble."

When President Obama sat down with comedian Stephen Colbert Monday, he didn't actually loosen his necktie. But we saw a relaxed president with just two years left on the clock, playing to a receptive audience of nearly 1,500.

Here are some of the more memorable moments from the president's appearance on The Colbert Report:

Booting the host from his desk

Obama playfully took Colbert's seat on set at George Washington University, declaring "Stephen, you've been taking a lot of shots at my job, I decided I'm going to go ahead and take a shot at yours. I want you to get out of the way, what part of the segment are we in now? What were you going to be doing?"

He went on: "How hard can this be? I'm just going to say whatever you were about to say."

The president pokes fun at himself

Taking over a Colbert Report segment he renamed "The Decree" (a more presidential version of regular segment "The Word"), Obama parodied Colbert saying: "Nation, as you know I, Stephen Colbert, have never cared for our president. The guy is so arrogant, I bet he talks about himself in the third person."
