Barack Obama's Big Presidential Regret Comes Down to Dolly Parton and the Medal of Freedom

Barack Obama has participated in a lot of interviews over the course of his career, but The Late Show host Stephen Colbert was bound and determined to find a few questions the former president hadn't answered before. In a video published Tuesday, Barack sat down with Stephen to discuss a number of pressing topics like the life cycle of a piece of toast and why Dolly Parton hasn't received the Presidential Medal of Freedom yet.

"That's a mistake," Barack told Stephen in regards to Dolly's lack of the award. "I'm shocked." The late-night host pushed further and asked, "Looking back on your eight years, do you realize that's the mistake you made?" Barack admitted, "That was a screw-up." He attempted to amend the obvious wrong by saying he assumed Dolly had already received the prestigious honor. "I'm surprised. She deserves one," he confirmed, before adding, "I'll call Biden." We'll hold you to it, Barack! For a good chuckle, watch the full video between the A Promised Land author and Stephen above.
