President Obama just shared his summer music playlist proving once again he is the coolest
Not long ago, we learned that President Obama is just like us before a big moment and uses the classic Eminem song “Lose Yourself” to get him in the zone before a big speech.
Now, he’s just shared with us his summer playlists and they are perfect.
Oh, and he has two different lists for daytime and nighttime because of course he does.

The fantastic mix is reminding lots of people that this is the last summer Obama will be our POTUS and has the internet feeling all sorts of nostalgia already. false
I freaking love you

The list was made specifically for Spotify, and you can either go there directly from your personal app or stream it online through the link at the White House website itself. When you’re done listening, you can always check out the FLOTUS song choices on her own #GirlPower playlist or listen to some throwback tunes he chose for summer last year.
