President Barack Obama showed that he takes criticism well Thursday night in his own special edition of the “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets” segment on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

When he read a tweet from user @RWSurferGirl asking “Is there any way we could fly Obama to some golf course halfway around the world and just leave him there?”, Obama agreed that was a great idea.

But perhaps the best ribbing came from Twitter user @TPPratt, who took a shot at the President for wearing loose jeans.

Obama later said the tweets weren’t as mean as “what the Senate says about me,” according to a White House pool report.
