Obama dropped DFTBA in a chat, won the Internet

2/15/2013

President Obama held a Fireside Hangout on Google+ Thursday. It was a wide-ranging discussion that covered everything from immigration to eliminating the penny. But the most memorable moment might have been his exchange with the pregnant wife of one of the panelists, author and vlogger John Green (who also asked about the penny). Green asked the Prez what the couple should name their baby — Eleanor or Alice? Obama demurred, but told the couple to remember to remind little Eleanor or Alice, "Don't forget to be awesome." Yes. He. Did. And then everyone on the Internet simultaneously squeed. (No, really, thanks to POTUS, the hashtag #DFTBA exploded on Twitter). [Source]
