20 10 Reasons Barack Obama Is the First Cool President
Tech-savvy President Obama is known for his proficiency in navigating the world of social networks. Both the White House and president have been on Twitter for years. He recently joined Instagram (@barackobama) and held a post-State of the Union Hangout on Google+.

Today, the White House announced that it will make a change to its new policy to accommodate religious institutions, such as Catholic hospitals and Read more
On Conan last night, John Krasinski told an embarrassing (and hilarious) story of when he and wife Emily Blunt first met President Obama at the Kennedy Center Honors in December. He poked fun at Emily's super-giggly reaction to Obama's kind words, and then admitted his own reaction wasn't exactly cool and collected. Watch the cute clip now! Read more

It sounds pretty incredible but President Obama actually reads some of the letters people write to him, according to the Washington Post. Apparently, the head of state reads 10 out of the 20,000 letters sent to him daily and says it's a great way to feel connected to people as well as a good reminder of why he decided to run for presidency. The Post says: "A few times during his presidency, Obama Read more
