The things some people will do for a bump in approval ratings. President Barack Obama's guest appearance on Discovery Channel's Mythbusters is still a few weeks away, but to wet your appetite - or, if you're not a fan, to enrage you about his vanity and publicity-seeking ways - the cable channel has released this tease.

What the ad doesn't cover is that, once Adam and Jamie solve this particular mythtery, Obama then tells them to figure out a solution to the current financial crisis using only the material found in their labs.

The special episode of Mythbusters airs on the Discovery Channel December 8th.
