(35 minutes later) | |
No world leader does effortlessly cool as well as Barack Obama. Fact. | |
In a "candid" video by Buzzfeed showing the US President getting ready for the proper interview, Potus can be seen self-deprecatingly sticking out his tongue at a mirror... | |
...sticking on a pair of shades and acting all Mr Cool... | |
...failing to dunk his over-sized cookie in a glass of milk... | |
and then blaming it on himself. "Thanks Obama." | |
There was of course, an important message behind the goofing around. None moreso than the promotion of the deadline for Americans to enroll in the Obamacare health insurance scheme, which you can do right here: www.healthcare.gov. | |

And people love him for it... | |
I literally love Obama as a person so much like you have to admit he's the coolest president we've ever had | |
I love that Obama buzz feed video | |
That Obama buzzfeed video is the greatest. I just absolutely love that man. Hard to imagine me loving another POTUS as much as I do Barack. | |
@BlackPplVines This is why I love Obama he can take a joke | |
when obama said "thanks obama" the universe exploded | |
It's worth comparing his efforts to those of the British Prime Minster, David Cameron, who is yet to find his feet with the digital generation. When talking to a group of journalists at Christmas he asked: 'What's the Buzzfeed?" |
