See 'Kid President' Meet the Real Commander-in-Chief

Kyle Dowling — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:11:24 +0000

So apparently when YouTube star Kid President isn't busy giving us pep talks or taking over the White House he's busy doing one of the coolest things imaginable...meeting actual president Barack Obama.

Satan On History's Mini-Series 'Bible' Looks Like Barack Obama

Jeremy Fenech — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:56:11 +0000

Is it just me, or does the character Satan on The History Channel's new mini-series "Bible" look a lot like President Obama?

Photo of Obama Playing With Tiny Spider-Man Charms the Web

Emerald Catron — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 19:34:05 +0000

Fine. Time magazine was right – Barack Obama is the Person of the Year. We can’t argue with this photo, which was taken back in October. The kid dressed up as Spider-Man is one of President Obama’s staffer’s kids. So no real threat was posed, which we guess explains why the Secret Service isn’t taking him down. [...]

Facebook Helps President Obama Pardon Two Turkeys

Emerald Catron — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:01:33 +0000

After a neck and neck online competition, President Obama today granted pardon to two turkeys, Cobbler and Gobbler. Cobbler, who likes eating cranberries and listening to Carly Simon, narrowly beat out Gobbler, the corn-eating turkey who loves bluegrass. (The voting took place via Facebook poll.) President Obama named Gobbler as Cobbler’s “alternate.” The pair will [...]

President Obama Photobombed by Adorable Smooching Kids

Emerald Catron — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:42:58 +0000

It takes a lot to upstage the President of the United States in a photograph, but these grade school kids have done it. We're not the only ones who think so. Even the president himself (or at least his Twitter account) labeled this the "picture of the day." We're pretty sure it's not because of the kid who's trying to eat his shirt. Or the way the president isn't looking at the camera either. Can you guess why?

The Best Memes, GIFs and Tweets From the Presidential Debate

Emerald Catron — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 15:15:21 +0000

As soon as we heard that Tumblr was going to be providing coverage of the debate via impromptu GIFs, we knew this election would at least be entertaining. Thanks should go especially to Mitt Romney's comment about Big Bird, which prompted tens of thousands of tweets. Here are the best of the internet reactions to last night's debate.

Floridians Fall For 'Onion' Article About Obama's 19-Year-Old Son

Donald Deane — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 18:01:47 +0000

Most people recognize satire when they see it, but not Floridians. Inboxes and Facebook pages of Florida residents recently received an article by The Onion describing an appearance by President Barack Obama's illegitimate 19-year-old son Luther at the Democratic National Convention. Incredibly, the story sparked a flurry of inquiries as to whether it was real. In case it isn't clear already, no, it's not. Duh. Clearly it's way too hot down there.

Exuberant Fan Catches Obama In Crushing Bear Hug

Donald Deane — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 15:20:38 +0000

While on the campaign trail in Fort Pierce, Florida, yesterday, President Barack Obama found himself on the receiving end of a monster bear hug courtesy of a 6-foot, 3-inch tall restaurant owner weighing 260 pounds. Where’s the Secret Service when you need them? When Obama entered the Big Apple Pizza and Pasta Restaurant on Sunday, [...]

Barack Obama Gets Coveted Endorsement From Jeff Bridges as 'The Dude'

Emerald Catron — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 21:10:16 +0000

Although he says “Everyone’s got their opinion, man,” Jeff Bridges is pretty quick to back that up with “Obama’s the man” in this interview with CNN. Bridges will be performing at the Democratic National Convention to try to gain support for his efforts to end childhood hunger in America. But what kind of news anchor would somebody be if they didn’t ask him to impersonate his character from ‘The Big Lebowski’ and talk a little bit about politics?

Obama Delivers Mighty Zing to Clint Eastwood on Twitter

Emerald Catron — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:25:13 +0000

Oh SNAP! Everyone’s been going crazy about Clint Eastwood’s speech at the Republican National Convention last night, in which he addressed an empty chair as though Barack Obama were seated in it. Jokes were made. Rallying cries were … cried. It was pretty much Twitter insanity. One joke stands above the rest when all is said and done though — this picture, posted by Barack Obama’s official Twitter profile, along with the accompanying text “This seat’s taken.”

Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney In the Smartphone Showdown Game of the Year

Emerald Catron — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:30:34 +0000

It’s not everyday that you get to see Mitt Romney smacked in the face with a hot dog or President Obama trounced with a balloon sword… Until now. Thanks to a new, free phone game called Vote!!!, you can see it every day. It might seem like they’ve lost sight of the point of democratic elections by making the two presidential candidates go toe-to-toe, but the folks at Epic Games could actually be on to something.

Ted Nugent Says President Obama Represents 'Everything Bad About Humanity'

Jeff Giles — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 13:59:44 +0000

Getting Ted Nugent riled up about politics has become the reporting equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel, but when the Nuge sat down for an interview with the Broward-Palm Beach New Times recently, the writer couldn’t resist — and Nugent was all too happy to oblige, taking the opportunity to go off on yet another tirade about what he sees as an epic struggle between good and evil.

President Obama Says '92 Dream Team Is Better Than 2012 Men's USA Basketball Team — Do You Agree? — Sports Survey of the Day

BJ Ragone — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 14:54:37 +0000

The 1992 Olympic men’s basketball team — dubbed the Dream Team — didn’t know it, but they were setting the bar pretty high for future teams. Now, even the president is involved in the debate. In a recent poll, people voted that the Dream Team was the best sports team ever assembled. Apparently, Kobe Bryant [...]

President Obama's Website Gets More Visitors Than All His GOP Rivals Combined

Shauna Wright — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 15:00:14 +0000

Looks like President Obama’s re-election campaign is well on its way to having the same kind of digital success that helped him secure the presidency in the first place.

According to a recent Nielsen analysis, the president’s website attracted more unique voting-age visitors than the sites for the four remaining GOP candidates — combined.
