Obama's '25 Things You Don't Know About Me'
President Obama is revealing "25 Things You Don't Know About Me" in the latest issue of US Weekly, including that he hasn't missed a parent-teacher conference since taking office, he read all of the Harry Potter books with his daughter Malia, and first dog Bo has free rein of the West Wing.
"My girls tease me about wearing my BlackBerry in a holster connected to my belt," he tells the magazine in its November issue, featuring the Kardashian sisters on the cover.
"Michelle and I have officially (and famously) been on a Kiss Cam. But our first kiss was outside of a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop in Chicago's Hyde Park," he says, a story he told ABC's "The View" in September.
Most of the things we "don't know," in fact, are things we do.
"I'm the first president to ever tweet." Check.
"When I work out, I like to listen to Jay-Z, Stevie Wonder and the Rolling Stones on my iPod." Check.
"Homeland is my favorite TV show… I voted early in Chicago." Check, check.
The president has sat down with a slew of talk shows and entertainment magazines in the run-up to the election, speaking recently with Jay Leno, MTV and Rolling Stone. The White House press corps, on the other hand, was last given the opportunity to ask questions of the president when he came to the briefing room in August.
