The White House Is Now on Tumblr Because of Course It Is

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 02 May 2013 19:41:24 +0000

The Official White House Tumblr sounds like a parody website that would be full of political snark and GIFs. But it's not a parody. The recently launched page is actually the official Tumblr for the White House. Like, for real.

But that doesn't mean there isn't snark

The Funniest Moments From the 2013 White House Correspondents' Dinner

Emerald Catron — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:55:11 +0000

The annual White House Correspondents' dinner took place this past weekend, and it was a delight. We honestly think it was probably the best performance at one of these dinners since Stephen Colbert roasted George W. Bush right in front of him (this makes us cringe a little bit less though). Only we aren't talking about Conan O'Brien -- we're talking about President Obama, who really hammed it up this year.

Steven Spielberg Debuts New 'Obama' Footage at White House Correspondents' Dinner…Wait, What?

Nick Romano — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:15:59 +0000

While 'Lincoln' might not have taken home the Oscar for Best Picture, it was considered one of the best films of the year by many a critic, mainly for Daniel Day-Lewis' exceptional performance as Honest Abe. In light of the film's success, what is its director Steven Spielberg planning as a follow-up?

During Saturday's White House Correspondents' Dinner, President Barack Obama revealed the first behind-the-scenes footage from Spielberg's next project, 'Obama,' which re-teams him with...Day-Lewis in the title role? Take a look...

Watch 'Kid President' Take Over the White House for April Fool's Day

Even the White House managed to get into the spirit of things on this April Fool’s Day. In honor of the holiday, the White House released a video of the “Kid President,” featuring a pint-sized tot at the podium. You might recognize nine-year-old Robby Novak from his hit Web series ‘Kid President‘ where he’s, well, [...]

Did The History Channel Make The Devil Look Like Obama?

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:42:01 +0000

The History Channel’s representation of The Devil is causing controversy. Many viewers of ‘The Bible’ have taken to social networks to point out similarities between the 10-part miniseries’ Prince of Darkness and Pres. Obama. Conservative commentator Glenn Beck was (naturally) among the first to comment on the resemblance. Anyone else think the Devil in #TheBible [...]

The Best GIFs From Obama's 2013 Inauguration

Emerald Catron — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:01:25 +0000

For such a solemn event, yesterday's presidential inauguration sure did span a lot of cute GIFs. It helps that the Obama family has two young daughters to keep things entertaining. They laugh. They yawn. They ruin pictures. They're just like us! Here are a few of our favorite moments from yesterday's ceremony.

When we first saw this GIF, we basically kept it open and running all day. So it comes as no surprise that Barack Obama ‘Deal With It, which takes a photo of Pres. Obama offering a cocky smile and adds animated sunglasses from the classic ‘Deal With It‘ meme, has won the prestigious (in our [...]

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 23:30:33 +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 [...]

The Best of 'The Prez Is Not Impressed' Tumblr

Emerald Catron — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 14:25:57 +0000

Pres. Barack Obama can't just pose with McKayla Maroney, make a silly face, and expect it NOT to turn into a Tumblr. Or, he can, but that would be foolish. The President Is Not Impressed is pretty much just like the McKayla Maroney Is Not Impressed from this summer, only it's the president instead. What sort of things and people is the president disappointed in? Let's find out!

Obama and Mckayla Maroney Are Very Disappointed In… Something

Dan Seitz — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 17:00:45 +0000

President Obama met with the 2012 United States Olympic Gymnastics Team and… well… you can see what happened for yourself. Maroney was, of course, first captured making the infamous face while observing someone else taking the gold medal in the vault. Maroney has nothing to be embarrassed about: She got a silver medal with a [...]

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

Donald Deane — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 19:00:47 +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.

Emerald Catron — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:00:06 +0000

Remember the “you didn’t build that” debacle? It turns out if you take enough of President Obama’s words out of context you can make him do a little rap song that sounds remarkably like “U Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer.
