Obama Cites His Ability To Call ‘Somebody Doing Something Interesting’ as ‘Coolest’ Thing About Presidency

Obama: 'Coolest Thing' About Being President Is Everyone Takes Your Phone Calls (Huffington Post)

President Barack Obama revealed in an interview Tuesday what's coolest about being commander-in-chief.

"I think the coolest thing is that if there’s somebody interesting who’s doing anything -– a scientist, a sports figure, a writer, anybody in the world –- if I want to call 'em up and talk to 'em, they will answer my phone call. And that’s a pretty cool thing," Obama told New York's WABC.

That statement was a response to a question from a reporter's daughter, who said she thought the coolest part of being president would be spending time with Beyonce and Jay Z.
