Excited. First it was Boehner’s office releasing the Swift Series on Obama’s announcement of free community college.

Then Matt Bors spot on speculation that Hillary Clinton attempted to pwn the GIF at the Benghazi hearing.

Now the White House releases the year in GIFs. Make no mistake the free college GIFs are a clear call back to the Boehner series.

My apologies Mr. President but Taylor Swift is simply cooler. Though the First Lady gives Taylor a run for her money.

Still I am excited to see the medium of the GIF play out in the political propaganda wars.
