Barack Obama is, unarguably, the coolest president this country as ever seen. This has nothing to do with policy, beliefs, or what he's done, but the sheer fact that his personality is so fun-loving and relatable. Even if Obama was not president, he would still be someone we'd all want to hang out with and here's why. However, this is in no way a comprehensive list because a list of all the reasons why Obama is the coolest would probably go on forever.
1. He's great at jokes.
Despite the constant stress of running the country, Obama always has jokes up his sleeve that he's ready to crack in the middle of any speech.
2. He dropped his mic at the end of his speech.
I don't think this even needs explanation.3. He wore a mask of himself.
4. He's aware of current memes
He's aware of current memes that are going around the internet but even better, he understands how dogs should wear pants in said memes.5. He makes dad jokes.
Yes, I know, his jokes are already one of his high points I mentioned, but dad jokes are on a different level. They're worse, which somehow makes them funnier, and therefore better. Obama has proven himself to be the king of dad jokes.
6. He's relatable.
Slow wifi is the arch enemy of us all, but we all still suffer through it at some point in our lives. Now, we know that The President of the United States is no exception to that, we feel closer to him, it makes him more human. The fact that trivial things like slow wifi annoys Obama as much as it annoys us makes us feel like he understands. It's also entertaining to know that not even the White House can get good wifi.
7. He makes fun of himself.
There's nothing more refreshing than a guy who can poke a little fun at himself.
8. He's down to earth.
Not even the President or at least the White House staff can be bothered to clean mirrors. It's just not a task anyone can convince themselves is necessary.
9. He's good with kids.
When a video of a little girl crying because Obama couldn't be president anymore went around the internet, he invited her to the White House to reassure her that it'd be fine. How sweet.
10. He's REALLY good with kids.
He's genuine and kids love him back. It's heartwarming.
