Memorable Songs

Music has always played an important role in my life—and that was especially true during my presidency. In honor of my book hitting shelves tomorrow, I put together this playlist featuring some memorable songs from my administration. Hope you enjoy it. pic.twitter.com/xWiNQiZzN0

Old-School Mixtapes

This was fun. I heard Tim and Fred were listening to some of the songs on my A Promised Land playlist, so I decided to drop in and surprise them. We talked about a lot, from Bob Dylan to old-school mixtapes to the role music played in my memoir. https://t.co/8A0cuVNHZI pic.twitter.com/rQwW8r0wBX

Did y’all know that me and former President @BarackObama weren’t even in the same room for this interview? He was in D.C. and I was in California. But thanks to the power of technology (and @DrewBarrymore), now I may never leave my house 😂 pic.twitter.com/ysNBpo7IEv

The Most Influential Women

For a special cover, former President Barack Obama reflects on the most influential women in his life and his new memoir, A Promised Land.

Oh, and do you recognize that jacket? (Hint: It’s the same one he sunk a three-pointer in two weeks ago). https://t.co/0mKkR2K7t8 pic.twitter.com/XAECT0KXci

What’s the most badass thing about Michelle, Malia, and Sasha? “They all have multiple badass qualities,” Obama says. “[People] probably are less aware of what it’s like to work out with Michelle when she’s really in her groove... There's force there." https://t.co/aU0RBipofC

In an excerpt from the first chapter of his memoir, Obama introduces us to his family and life in Hawaii: “The thought of me not going to college was never entertained. But no one in my family would ever have suggested I might hold public office someday.” https://t.co/WIrcrEFUxq pic.twitter.com/rbrfbFHacf

We celebrate @barackobama’s, ‘A Promised Land,’ with this special cover. We asked Obama to wear the jacket he sank the three pointer in while campaigning with Biden. He was surprised: “I’ve got better jackets.” When reminded, he grinned. “I showed some swag in that one.” @instyle pic.twitter.com/yhhje1JHix
