$600,000

We still need to raise 400,000: Whether you can give $5 or $500, it all matters.

Tuesday morning, comedy website Funny or Die released an episode of Zach Galifianakis’ satirical interview show Between Two Ferns featuring Barack Obama. The 44th president came on to promote the Affordable Care Act. (At the end of the six-and-a-half-minute video, there is a link to Healthcare.gov.)

The whole thing is pretty funny. To be clear, it isn’t going to set the world on fire or anything, but there are definitely some amusing bits. (“What is it like to be the last black president?” “Seriously?”) Funny or Die has a very good relationship with the Obama administration, which includes creating a recent batch of pro-Obamacare videos, and even pitching the president a sketch idea directly. Galifianakis is himself an Obama supporter.

Here is the whole bit for your viewing pleasure:
