I dont doubt that Obama has read books or listened to music but these lists are created by interns ...right ?

I'm 70% sure they are. All of these politicians have teams dedicated towards their social media presence, even the unhinged ones like MTG.

Ofc, we all know that his actual summer playlist is probably like 70% Phil Collins

All of the titles just ooze overly self-serious jerk off material

The Ministry of Time is actually a pretty light fun fiction read about time travel and British spies and such.

I seriously doubt he reads any of this shit.

He really doesn’t strike me as a neolib true believer, I’m almost certain he spends his time reading marxist theory so he knows exactly how to be the biggest lib possible.

“The fact that my lists are, you know, pretty incredible, people seem to think, well, he must’ve had some 20-year-old intern who was figuring out this latest cut. No, man! It’s on my iPad right now,” he added.

the intern is actually 22 and Obama's the kind of shitbag who thinks that fact makes his deceptive statement morally acceptable. also the song being on the iPad doesn't mean that he listened to it, or that it wasn't placed there after the intern gave him the list

I agree with Matt that this asshole is the biggest villain of the 21st century

How CIA-pilled does that book on central america gotta be?

Obama's real reading list has J. Sakai's Settlers on it, someone must have edited your version

Was Hillbilly Elegy ever on one of his reading lists?
