You might be surprised to read this, but here at heat Towers we’re well up with all the latest political happenings. Don’t look so shocked – we interviewed David Cameron, didn’t we? And we did all that stuff about the general election.
But no matter where our political loyalties lie, there’s one thing we all hold true: that Barack Obama is a slamming hotty.
AND it’s his birthday today! He’s turning 54, so let’s have a look at his best moments of awesome POTUS-ness.
1. That time he pretended he was the Lion King to wind up the idiots who think he wasn’t born in the US
2. When he pretended to be Superman
Who is Barack Obama? Contrary to the rumours you have heard, I was not born in a manger. I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father Jor-El to save the Planet Earth. Many of you know that I got my name, Barack, from my father. What you may not know is Barack is actually Swahili for 'That One.' And I got my middle name from somebody who obviously didn't think I'd ever run for president. If I had to name my greatest strength, I guess it would be my humility. Greatest weakness, it's possible that I'm a little too awesome.
3. He’s SASSY as hell
"These days, I look in the mirror and I have to admit, I'm not the strapping young Muslim socialist that I used to be,” he told the 2013 White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
4. When he sang Amazing Grace at the remembrance ceremony of the Charleston shooting victims and gave everyone goosebumps**
5. He joked about turning into Morgan Freeman in four years’ time because he’s going grey so quickly
6. He’s BFFs with Beyonce, Matt Damon, Oprah and a whole HOST of other celebs.
7. He once joked about having a diplomatic meeting with Captain Hook
8. He called David Beckham a “young up-and-comer” when introducing him – and Becks LOLed really hard
9. When he pretended to be a bunch of emojis in that Buzzfeed video
10. He raps! And sings!
WE LOVE YOU, OBAMA!
