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

Emerald Catron — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 12:01:25 +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.

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!

Emerald Catron — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 22:45:05 +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.

Emerald Catron — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 19:14:19 +0000

Somebody decided to post this picture of the president on Reddit, titling it 'My new favorite picture of President Obama.'

President Obama Photobombed by Adorable Smooching Kids

Emerald Catron — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:42:56 +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?

Emerald Catron — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 21:45:21 +0000

Oh NO! What are we going to do!?! LMFAO has announced that they are going on a "hiatus" (yeah, that's what our parents said too), which means somebody else will have to step up to fill the void left behind at grocery stores that play inappropriately upbeat music. Let us remember these party monsters as they would have wanted -- by watching the comical videos they've inspired.

You've probably already seen the photo of Big Apple Pizza owner Scott Van Duzer giving Barack Obama a mighty bear hug hug during a campaign stop the President made in Fort Pierce, FL over the weekend.

The picture started to go viral on Sunday, and suddenly Van Duzer became an instant-celebrity who is currently making the media rounds. But when the muscular 46-year-old, a self-proclaimed Republican, said he would also be voting for his new hug buddy it didn't sit well with some conservatives.

Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney In the Smartphone Showdown Game of the Year

Emerald Catron — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 15:30:34 +0000

It’s not everyday that you get to see Mitt Romney smacked in the face with a hot dog or President Obama trounced with a balloon sword… Until now. Thanks to a new, free phone game called Vote!!!, you can see it every day. It might seem like they’ve lost sight of the point of democratic elections by making the two presidential candidates go toe-to-toe, but the folks at Epic Games could actually be on to something.

Barack Obama Booed for Snubbing Michelle on 'Kiss Cam'

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 17:48:47 +0000

Barack Obama got the old “Bronx cheer” during the second quarter of the USA versus Brazil men’s basketball exhibition at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC, Monday night.

However, the boos had nothing to do with what the crowd thought of his job performance as president. Instead they were reacting to his inexplicable decision not to kiss his wife Michelle when the First Couple was featured on the arena’s Kiss Cam.
