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

Jeremy Taylor — Sun, 12 May 2013 22:41:24 +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

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

Nick Romano — Mon, 06 May 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...

The Funniest Moments From the 2013 White House Correspondents' Dinner

Emerald Catron — Sun, 05 May 2013 17:55:11 +0000

The annual White House Correspondents' dinner took place last 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.

7-Year-Old Football Star Battling Brain Cancer Meets President Obama

Drew Weisholtz — Sat, 04 May 2013 13:59:14 +0000

First, Jack Hoffman ran to the end zone. Then, he kept on going until he got to the White House. The 7-year-old boy battling brain cancer who became an Internet star after he scored a touchdown during the University of Nebraska football team’s spring game has another accomplishment to add to his resume: he got [...]

One Year Ago: Ted Nugent Vows to be 'Dead or in Jail' in a Year if President Obama is Re-Elected

Matthew Wilkening — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:15:34 +0000

On April 14, 2012, while speaking at an NRA Convention in St. Louis, Mo., Ted Nugent declared that he would be "either dead or in jail by this time next year" If President Obama was re-elected.

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

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 08 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.

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

Drew Weisholtz — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 17:57:14 +0000

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 — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 15:00:01 +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.

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. [...]

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!

Barack Obama Wins, Matt Barnaby Shares Wisdom, and the Bills are the Bills [BUFFALO TWEETS OF THE WEEK]

Deandra Modica — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 14:21:27 +0000

What. A. Week. Are you as exhausted as we are? Obama won the election, but that doesn’t mean anything in the world of social media. Here’s what you missed. Don’t worry. The constant stream of political posts on Facebook and Twitter are still going strong. A Bills fan may have actually lost all his marbles. [...]

The Best Election Day Reaction Memes

Emerald Catron — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 23:45:05 +0000

Hey, did you hear there was an election yesterday? It was kind of a big deal, you know, presidents and what not. With Obama being reelected, people were pretty quick to start poking fun of the losers, as well as the ultra-conservatives who said they'd be moving abroad. Oh, and gay marriage and the legalization of marijuana passed in several states. Of course, memes are a great way to do this. Here are our favorites.

Celebrate Obama's Win With the Best GIF Ever

TheFW Staff — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 15:45:29 +0000

As you’ve no doubt heard, Barack Obama was elected to a second presidential term last night. We have a feeling he’s feeling like this right now: Source: Celebrate Obama’s Win With the Best GIF Ever

Which Celebs Are Advice-Worthy?

Alyssa Kramer — Sat, 03 Nov 2012 04:01:29 +0000

It seems like the minute someone gains an ounce of attention, a Blockbuster hit or a paycheck over $100K, they feel authorized to provide the rest of the world with their omniscient advice and thoughts on life. But just because some celeb who's been through rehab 85 times is dishing it out doesn't mean we have to take it. So, here are some celebs who might be worth listening to -- and some who probably aren't.

President Obama Photobombed by Adorable Smooching Kids

Emerald Catron — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 15:30:36 +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 Meme Reactions to Trump's 'Major Announcement'

Emerald Catron — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:33:21 +0000

Donald Trump's "major announcement" was a major disappointment. Although we can't say we're majorly surprised. He essentially agreed to pay money to charity, but only if Pres. Obama releases his college and passport applications and records. What a delightfully effective way to let everybody know you're awful. Here are the best meme responses that sum up the awfulness of Trump's big announcement.

Can Presidential Dog Poo Bags Predict the Outcome of the Election?

Mike Adams — Sun, 21 Oct 2012 02:00:50 +0000

If you are one of the many people still scraping off your TV after Tuesday’s presidential-debate mud-slinging, then perhaps it is time for you to take a "poo-litical” stand and invest in some presidential poop bags.

To help you out with obtaining such novel effects is the Fort Worth, Texas-based company Therapoo, which has just released an arsenal of dog-poop bags branded with the cartoon mugs of both President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney.

Bruce Springsteen Debuts New Song at Ohio Political Rally

John Soeder — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:38:51 +0000

Bruce Springsteen unveiled a new tune during a get-out-the-vote rally Thursday in Parma, Ohio, a working-class suburb of Cleveland. Springsteen didn’t announce the tongue-in-cheek ditty’s title. He joked about it being a rejected theme song for President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign, whose “Forward” slogan was the basis for a playful call-and-response number: “I kissed your [...]

Obama and Romney 'Sing' Katy Perry's 'Hot and Cold'

Emerald Catron — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 18:15:06 +0000

This week’s presidential debate was a little intense. This video ought to make you feel better. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney coming together to perform Katy Perry’s ‘Hot and Cold.’ Okay, so technically they didn’t *really* do this, but imagine if they had. Oh, it would have made our life! This is defnintely one of [...]
