Yes it was. In fact, Colbert was in the room with Obama when he taped his bit a couple weeks before Colbert left for Iraq. I can't find it from work but you can view the taping of it somewhere.

It was interesting to see what something like that in a president's day is like. Total time elapsed between him entering the room, greeting everybody, sitting, doing the copy, shaking hands, and existing the room was probably no more than five minutes.

And he has to do crap like that all day long.
