US President Barack Obama recently made an attempt to impersonate Frank Underwood from 'House of Cards' in a belated April Fools' Day clip.
Obama in the video, attempting a Southern accent and staring at the camera amid a backdrop of a painting of President Abraham Lincoln, says, "Hello, everybody, this is not Frank Underwood. This is Barack Obama. Happy April Fools' Day. Frank learned it from me", E! Online reported.
The footage is part of a video posted on the White House's YouTube page on April 2 to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the West Wing Week video series, which covers the presidency.
In 2013, Obama joked about Underwood's ability to get stuff done and also that year, Spacey starred in a pre-taped 'House of Cards' parody video that launched the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
