President Barack Obama has been promoting his signature health care law many different ways. Just recently, BuzzFeed Motion Pictures posted a video of him doing "things everybody does but doesn't talk about." Included in this video, he talks about his healthcare being available in February but mispronounces February over and over again. This is not the first time he has advertised his healthcare in a public video though. Last year, the President appeared on "Between Two Ferns" with Zach Galifinakis, a move largely credited with boosting signups.
This article relates to our class discussions because we did a small in-class project on past presidential advertising and how it has evolved. In today's society, our president advertises putting little snippets of his "healthcare law" in third-party video entertainment companies. This just shows how social presidency has become throughout the years and how the world is somewhat becoming one big social-media website.
I believe that United States presidency needs to be taken more seriously. You would think that the president has more important things to other than filming videos of himself with his tongue out and drawing pictures of his spouse. He should be spending more of his time focusing on how to govern a country rather than putting off a bad image to the public of how being a president SHOULDN'T be.
