| President Obama blamed his poor performance on the cut of his suit. |
by Kamran Ramsden
President Obama was left impressed and astounded today as he was challenged to a kick about by a humanoid robot on a recent visit to Tokyo.
Though it is currently unclear as to who won the game, the US Head of State was clearly impressed with it's athletic abilities: ‘He’s really moving,’ he exclaimed as ASIMO demonstrated actions such as kicking the ball as well as sprinting away from the President as he tried to ask ASIMO whether or not he thought the Affordable Care Act was a good idea.
The Honda designed ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility) was designed as a multi-purpose robotic assistant. ‘I can kick a soccer ball too,’ bragged the robot, after showing off such skills as running and hopping on one leg during the President’s visit to the Tokyo Innovation museum.
In a later speech, the President admitted to being impressed and also a little scared by the technological innovations on display. ‘The robots were a little scary,’ he said. ‘They were too lifelike.' He was then seen biting his lip, presumably trying not to make an easy Mitt Romney joke.
When asked to comment on the game, ASIMO said that Obama should 'stop being such a little b***h’ and admit that he lost, claiming that 'the ref doesn't know the f**king rules anyway.'
