BREAKING NEWS – Ottawa, Canada – Former President Barack Obama endorsed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in his reelection effort Wednesday, part of an attempt to boost the embattled leader’s chances of staying in office. Obama and Trudeau maintained a friendly relationship while they were both heads of the neighboring countries — Obama honored Trudeau with the first state dinner for a Canadian since 1997 soon after the young leader was elected. The progressive politicians also met for a beer at a Canadian brewery earlier this year. When Obama was asked why he endorsed Trudeau and not his former VP, Joe Biden, he answered, “When I think of Trudeau’s scandal which can be construed as racist, and Joe’s expression when someone asks him a simple question, I prefer  ‘black face’ over ‘blank face’. Clear enough?”
