The cool and not-so-cool of Barack Obama [Video]

[Shareables] President Obama just completed a state visit to the UK & Ireland and there have been a number of watchable moments shared on YouTube, but bearing in mind you don’t have all day I wanted to show a couple of my favorites.

If you’re like me, you’ll enjoy the fact that even possibly the coolest President in America’s history screws up.
