Barack Obama

President Barack Obama spoke at a Manufacturing Innovation event on Tuesday and announced two new public-private manufacturing innovation institutes – in Chicago and Detroit - with a surprising revelation: "I'm here to announce that we're building Iron Man."

See...even the President is in the holiday spirit--kind of.

Lady Gaga is the latest celeb to show her support for Obamacare, taking a minute off from the 'ARTPOP' promo machine to help advance another agenda and one that is of critical importance to all Americans.

In a very official statement, the White House has welcomed the newest member of the first family: Sunny.

Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, celebrated his birthday yesterday (August 4), and boy, did he do it with style!

Prince William and Kate Middleton's Royal Baby earned kudos from everyone all over the world, including those of us here -- you know, in that country that won the Revolutionary War -- and the royals issued appropriately and predictably polite, somewhat stiff statements about the birth.

Jay-Z is a busy guy. He's got Presidents of the United States to text. He doesn't have time for Chris Brown and Rihanna's adolescent drama. And he said so quite plainly.

If there was any doubt, Daft Punk's single 'Get Lucky' is now officially Summer Jam 2013. Barack Obama says so. Well, not really, but this is close enough.

The POTUS, Barack Obama, and his FLOTUS, Michelle Obama, were named the World's Most Powerful Couple by Forbes. No surprise there, but they were joined on the list by a slew of celebrity pairings as well.

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 and GIFs...

Saturday night (April 27) was the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, which hosted many important faces in the political sphere, as well as celebrities ... and the cast of 'Duck Dynasty.' (No, we're not sure how that happened either.) This year, the star-studded event was headlined by Conan O'Brien, who had the distinction of leading the event once before in 1995 for President Bill Clinton.

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

While 'Lincoln' might not have taken home the Oscar for Best Picture, it was considered one of the best films of the year by many a critic, mainly for Daniel Day-Lewis' exceptional performance as Honest Abe. In light of the film's success, what is its director Steven Spielberg planning as a follow-up? During Saturday's White House Correspondents' Dinner, President Barack Obama revealed the first b

1:10 p.m. (EST): A third letter, this one sent to Senator Joe Manchin (D.-W.V.), has been found to contain ricin. 12:45 p.m. (EST): FBI spokesman Paul Bresson has confirmed that the substance found in the letter to the president was ricin. The Secret Service says that a letter containing a suspicious substance and addressed to President Obama was received on Tuesday at a White House mail facility.

Hell hath no fury like a President with an idiotic press corps scorned. When Jay-Z dissed Barack Obama in his new track, 'Open Letter,' the White House responded. And it was hilarious.

In response to complaints that Jay-Z and Beyonce illegally vacationed in the communist, cigar-making country of Cuba (despite getting government permission to do so), Mr. Carter has responded in a rather disappointing way: with a whiny song called 'Open Letter.' You can check out the audio below, in which Hova laments the uselessness of politicians -- okay, as a whole, he's not wrong about that --
