His summer music playlist consists of 44 songs, some from current popular artists, including Drake and Rihanna’s “Too Good,” Tems’s “Vibe Out,” Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul,” Koffee’s “Pull Up,” Burna Boy’s “Last Last,” Kacey Musgraves’s “Keep Looking Up,” and Vince Staples and Mustard’s “Magic.”

“Every year, I get excited to share my summer playlist because I learn about so many new artists from your replies—it’s an example of how music really can bring us all together,” Obama wrote.

Obama’s book list includes Lan Samantha Chang’s “The Family Chao,” Ezra Klein’s “Why We’re Polarized,” Yascha Mounk’s “The Great Experiment: Why Diverse Democracies Fall Apart and How They Can Endure,” Antoine Wilson’s “Mouth to Mouth,” Charmaine Wilkerson’s “Black Cake,” and Sports Illustrated writer Chris Herring’s bestselling book “Blood in the Garden: The Flagrant History of the 1990s New York Knicks.”

The crying game and brokeback mountain...

Personally, I doubt he can actually read very well.

He certainly mispronounces fairly simple words!

I've only actually listened to him twice (the sound of his voice makes me extremely nauseated) & both times he mispronounced at least 2 words! Pretty bad when you say you graduated from Harvard!

I always found the fact that he says he graduated from Columbia & Harvard & no one remembers him, a little suspect too!

Obama, brought to us by the Weather Underground, the ones that actually exploded a bomb in the US Capitol, blew up a Police Station & pulled off an armored car robbery, killing a police officer or two.

The actual insurrectionists! Bill Ayers & Bernadine Dorn, foster parents to Chase Boudin, who's actual parents both died in prison as a result of their actions! Dorn went on the lamb & was found several years later & spent a minute amount of time in prison, less than the J6th Political prisoners!

Don't get me started! But sure, Merrick, go ahead & charge Trump with all the crimes the Democrats planned & carried out, the overthrow of our American Presidency! They perpetrated a coup! And they get off without a hitch! You bunch of MFers!

Justice will be served!
