This is Barack Obama's summer playlist

Seriously: Obama is still the coolest president America has ever had, right? Leaving aside his decisions and what he has or hasn't achieved, I mean, huh. Purely as a person. This man comes across as so likable. I think he is also incredibly funny and witty, mega intelligent, and has great taste in music. How do I know that last part for sure? Well, because he made his own summer playlist. How hilarious is that?

And I can tell you: there’s something for everyone. Big hits like Leave The Door Open by Bruno Mars, but also artists like Bob Dylan can be found in there. Any surprising artists? Oh yes, definitely. Apparently, Obama jams out in his free time to none other than Rihanna. HAHA. And Drake. Sza. Jay-Z. Okay, and The Rolling Stones and Joni Mitchell, but that doesn’t really surprise me.

He published his ultimate summer playlist on Twitter, but no worries: you don’t have to create it yourself on Spotify. Obama has already taken care of that for you. Thanks, Obama. Just click on this link or search for Obama’s Summer Playlist 2021 on your Spotify and you’re all set.

That Obama has good taste in music, I expected, but that I would only be playing his favorites this summer, not necessarily. So keep that in mind the next time you blast Rihanna at maximum volume. Uncool? Not at all. Obama does it too.

With so many folks getting together with family and friends, there’s a lot to celebrate this summer. Here’s a playlist of songs I’ve been listening to lately—it’s a mix of old and new, household names and emerging artists, and a whole lot in between. pic.twitter.com/xwTPun9wsw
