Led by rap mogul Russell Simmons, over 100 celebrities -- including Will Smith, Susan Sarandon, Scarlett Johannson, Jennifer Hudson and Nicki Minaj -- have signed a letter urging President Obama to overhaul America's drug laws.

So apparently when YouTube star Kid President isn't busy giving us pep talks or taking over the White House he's busy doing one of the coolest things imaginable...meeting actual president Barack Obama.

President Barack Obama, our 44th president, has been sworn in for his second term, and the inauguration was exactly the star-studded occasion we've come to expect from our celeb-popular Commander-in-Chief. Case in point: Musical performances included James Taylor singing 'America the Beautiful,' followed by Kelly Clarkson's rendition of 'America (My Country 'Tis of Thee),' and Beyonce wrapping thi

US Presidents can only serve two terms, right?  That term limit is established by the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution.  But there is a bill before the house this session that would  abolish the amendment to do away with presidential term limits.

Most major news networks have called the 2012 president election for Barack Obama.  The Democrat from Illinois has earned a second term in the Oval Office by defeating Mitt Romney.

The health care law of 2010 was the signature legislation of Barack Obama’s first term as President. However, according to a new poll from Gallup, the public is still very divided on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

It’s no secret that President Obama has lots of friends in high places (who else could get Johnny Depp to show up at a Halloween party?), and now it seems he has a few more… from the fashion industry.

When it comes to his political ideology, President Barack Obama has different Americans seeing very different things.

It’s an election year, and every candidate could use some help — even the incumbent president. While Barack Obama already has endorsements from Jay-Z and Beyonce, Entertainment Weekly snagged a list of other musicians Obama wants on his team. A lot of them surprised us!

Beyonce and Jay-Z might have their hands full with baby Blue Ivy right now, but the chart-topping duo are no strangers to multi-tasking. So it should be no surprise that the proud parents are staying busy with their ever-expanding list of entrepreneurial activities — including helping design a line of apparel created to support President Obama in his bid for re-election.
