$\"\"$ <\/a>In backwaters of the Interwebs, you can learn all about the government cover up of evidence of extraterrestrial life.<\/p>\n

Leave it to an intrepid youngster to play journalist and ask President Obama for the real truth.<\/p>\n

Politico has the report from actor Will Smith<\/a>. Smith, whose alien flick Men in Black 3<\/em> comes out May 25, was touring the White House, son Jayden in tow.<\/p>\n

Men in Black\u201d star explained, \u201cThe night before, Jaden had said to me, \u2018Dad, I gotta ask the president about the aliens,\u2019 and I was like, \u2018Dude, no, no, it\u2019s not cool. No, it\u2019s not cool, it\u2019s embarrassing. \u2026 Do not ask the president!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we get into the Situation Room and Jaden gets the look in his eyes and he leans over and he says, \u2018Dad, what\u2019s my punishment?\u2019\u201d Smith said. \u201c\u2026 And Barack is starting to talk about this Situation Room and Jaden says, \u2018Excuse me, Mr. President?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

To Smith\u2019s surprise, Obama anticipated the question.<\/p>\n

\u201cBarack said, \u2018Don\u2019t tell me,\u2019\u201d he recalled. \u201cAnd in perfect form \u2014 like this is why he is the president \u2014 he stopped and looked at Jaden and said, \u2018The aliens, right? \u2026 OK, I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of extraterrestrials but I can tell you if there had been a top secret meeting and if there would have had to have been a discussion about it, it would have taken place in this room.'\u201d<\/p>\n
