Obama 'BuzzFeed' Video Goes Viral

President Obama hasn't been shy about using non-traditional ways to get his message across, including appearing on late-night talk shows and going on website Funny or Die's Between Two Ferns with Zack Galifianakis last year to promote the Affordable Care Act.

So it's not that surprising that Obama just did a funny BuzzFeed video that's gone viral to promote enrollment under the healthcare law by February 15th.

The video, called Things Everybody Does But Doesn't Talk About, shows the president doing things like practicing a speech in front of the mirror, using a selfie stick to take photos and pretending to shoot baskets in the White House.

But there were some people who weren't laughing.

Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren, for one, criticized Obama for apparently making the video on the same day earlier this week that it was learned that U.S. hostage Kayla Mueller was dead and that we were evacuating the American embassy in Yemen, calling it, "so tone deaf and bad taste."
