Barack Obama Wields Selfie Stick, Panders To Youth To Promote Healthcare


What the freaking hell did America do to President Barack Obama? He’s broken.

Taking to US Buzzfeed to connect with ~youths~, POTUS Obama stars in a video called, “Things Everyone Does But Doesn’t Talk About”, a naff little piece that should not be taken lightly, for it signals the end of the internet, I’m afraid: it’s all over. We’re done. Time to find new jobs.

Wielding a selfie stick, hyping himself up in front of the mirror and subtly inserting an ad for his healthcare initiative, this is a Classic Dad Move that may well have been executed to distract American voters from Obama’s real news this week. ICYMI, The President has sought war authorization from Congress in order to fight Islamic State forces. But the move, as the New York Times puts it, isn’t as simple as waging war in Syria and Iraq: “If the White House prevails, it would get virtually unrestricted power to engage in attacks around the globe as long as it can justify a connection, however tenuous, to the Islamic State.” Welp.

The video, if you insist, can be seen here.
