That's well done. The taped stuff with Obama was pretty seamless, given that we all know it's taped and all.
Reading about this clip earlier I thought, boy, it's pretty sketchy/weird to have the president appear in a comedy skit. But it works, because, hey, anything for the troops.
I'm not sure Eisenhower or Truman would have appeared in this skit. FDR probably would have. It would be interesting to look back at the WWII years and see if anything remotely like that was ever done with radio.
