2015 in Review: The White House’s Year in GIFs 2015 is almost over, so we’re taking a look a back at our year on Tumblr.
This year, the White House Tumblr reached more than 269,000 followers. We took questions from the public on how we’re working to #ActOnClimate , and on banning conversion therapy for minors . We even launched a new Tumblr dedicated to the letters President Obama receives from across the country every day.
We use Tumblr because we’re always looking for new ways to engage with the American people, and one of the best — and most fun — ways we’ve found to engage on Tumblr is through making GIFs.
So without further ado, here are our top 10 GIF moments on the White House Tumblr this year:
