President Obama has spoken out on Bill Cosby, with an exhaustive list of questions aimed toward the president eventually landing on the controversial comedian who has come under fire for his admitted role in giving at least one woman drugs and then having sex with her. In the midst of the multitude of rape allegations, Camille Cosby seemed to allude to an open marriage with Bill, as reported by the Inquisitr.

Video of President Obama’s comments about Cosby and sex without consent and rape can be seen in the video snippet below.

In the same press conference, President Obama said there was no precedent for taking away the Medal of Freedom bestowed upon Cosby. However, the Commander-in-Chief did admit that if a person gives another person drugs and has sex with them without their consent, that is defined as rape.

According to CNN, President Obama is feeling the heat to rip Bill’s Medal of Freedom that was given to the comedian in 2002, due to his work in the community and as a supposed role model — that’s prior to the comedian’s famous “Pound Cake” speech, pegging him as a hypocrite by some who once worshipped the man.

As soon as President Obama made the comments about Cosby, the search term “Obama Cosby” lit up on Twitter, with various responses to the president’s views.

It was a view held by the leader of the free world that had been a long time coming.

As such, people are pouncing on President Obama’s comments about Cosby and applauding POTUS for speaking out against rape — even if the accusations come against a man like Bill, who was once a celebrated comedian who portrayed himself as a family man with high morals.
