If the United States were a YouTube channel, the President would have more than 318 million subscribers. That's more than the current top 10 channels combined.

In an ad for her Let's Move campaign, the President and VP Joe Biden go for a brisk jog around the presidential palace to inspire fitness and healthy eating. After a clip of the run premiered on The Tonight Show, the FLOTUS promised that she would release the video if enough people tweeted images of them moving using the #LetsMove hashtag. Due to the overwhelming response, the video was released less than a week later.
