Who made the President and first lady’s list for best in music, movies and TV for 2015?
Have you ever wondered who was blasting in President Obama’s Ipod when he is on the treadmill, or what movie Michelle Obama wanted to see on date night with her hubby?
Our fabulous POTUS and FLOTUS sat down with People Magazine last week for the 2015 Campaign edition of the magazine. In addition to the political questions, People switched it up and asked the loving couple about their top picks for film, music and television over the past year. You may be surprised at who made the official presidential list.
