I have not hidden sympathy for the Obamas. I follow them on facebook, instagram, twitter and where I can. But nope, not yet stalker :P.
They are charismatic, smart, and they are making good PR. I will not comment their political decisions and actions, because I consider there are people more advised to tell something about his eight years activity in the oval office.
On 11 August 2016 the US president gives his summer playlist tweet, daytime and nighttime.
How do I listen to music all the time and all the while looking constantly new songs or old, but I conquer, I recognized it was a moment only good to (re) find some music to listen to in the days ahead.
I started with the first song in daytime playlist, second and I said I could make a playlist. I arrived at nighttime and I thought I could make a playlist. Or I could have one, consisting of two.
The President Summer playlist for daytime consists of:

So, give them a try and maybe you will find something you like. You can consider that the playlist is made by one of the most famous and powerful man on Earth. All the songs are easy to find on YouTube or other music channels, but in the same time, White House uses Spotify to share some of the member’s playlists.
Listen some good music and gain power for some German vocabulary or grammar rules!
