The other day, we were given a pretty fun assignment: comb through nearly 1,500 White House videos and come up with our favorite ten.
The variety of videos the White House has published since President Obama took office is overwhelming. Along with the President’s speeches and daily press events, there are powerfully candid moments from the light-hearted to the awe-inspiring, clips that make you laugh out loud and behind the scenes material that you can't find anywhere else (for example, a look inside a Cabinet meeting).
So after careful consideration, we are excited to share the first "Intern Picks" of 10 Must-See White House Videos:
10. The President's Order for Stephen Colbert
Go behind-the-scenes with President Obama as he records his cameo appearance on "The Colbert Report." In the segment, he orders Colbert's head shaved, which was promptly executed by General Odierno during a special broadcast from Camp Victory in Baghdad.
Why it’s great: The President is faced with a lot of important decisions on a daily basis, but it’s not every day that he gives an order like this. Also, Stephen Colbert makes an addition to the White House library.
9. Inside the White House: Letters to the President
Every day, President Obama reads ten letters from Americans around the country to stay in tune with their issues and concerns. "Letters to the President" is an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the process of how those ten letters make it to the President's desk from among the tens of thousands of letters, faxes, and e-mails that flood the White House each day.
Why it’s great: This video provides an intimate look at one of the ways President Obama connects directly with people from around the country daily and it’s moving to see.
