Why Obama is the Coolest President

Why he's the coolest from a non-political standpoint.

Why Obama is the Coolest President
Reddit

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.


He tricked people into thinking he wasn't Obama by wearing an Obama mask. Classic and yet still hilarious.

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.

11. He made a non-offensive gay joke.

He made a gay joke one time, but not the kind where it's rude and everyone's uncomfortable, the kind where he acknowledges that other people might think he's gay and he's fine with that.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
