      For sure Obama could convert a Word doc no problem. Hell, Cheney Bush Jr. probably could’ve as well.

        With his youthful, tech-savvy vibe, many assumed that Barack Obama knew this stuff. But when pressed about how to convert file types, he responded, “What do I look like, some kinda fuckin’ nerd?” His honesty was refreshing. After all, converting a file shouldn’t be the president’s job. That is what interns are for. (Recent surveys show 90% of interns’ work hours are spent combining, condensing, and converting documents in a way that doesn’t crash the aging government servers.)

                It’s okay, you must still be recovering from that coma that you simply must have been in for 8 years to have missed this hot bod:

      To be fair, Teddy only managed to convert to PDF by sheer gumption. No matter how many clippies he faced, he never gave up, never crashed his Word, and always disabled OneDrive before anything else.

      Roosevelt didn’t convert word documents to PDF. He edited the PDF directly, with a hex editor.
