There was actually one time when Obama decided “fuck it” and start driving around the white house, like not even anything crazy and just driving around on the driveway, and the secret service rushed to close the gates so he couldn’t get out. He said “That was my big joy ride. Three times around the South Lawn driveway. It was wild.” If you’ve ever seen the Obamas driving around, I bet you he was not the one driving.
That was during in his “Comedians in cars drinking coffee” episode with Seinfeld and it was cleared in advance with the Secret Service. They also had to eat in the WH cantina.
Have I not seen picture of the Obamas cruising around after his terms? This one’s a new one for me and is a fun fact.

Never seen the show, but that definitely makes sense. I heard he was on the show and always wondered what the logistics of it were.
