President Barack Obama received help from a special “kid president” Thursday to help kick of the 2013 lottery for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll.
According to an article on ABC.com , President Obama sent a special message to his understudy, Robby Novak, better known as Kid President, whose video “Pep-talk from Kid President to You” has more than 10 million hits on YouTube.
“Kid President, looks like you got my message,” President Obama said.
“Yes, Mr. President, I got your message,” Kid-President Novak answered via tin-can phone.
“This is historic…Kids dancing! Eggs rolling! I’m in!" he said as he accepted President Obama’s invitation to attend the Easter egg roll on the White House lawn.
The 9-year-old is a “self-appointed voice for an entire generation” who is calling all kids to “keep giving the world a reason to dance.”
The budding politician had this to say about his approach to politics: “I’m not in a party – I am a party.”
Information on the White House Easter Egg roll, which has open enrollment from Feb. 21 though Feb. 25, can be found at www.rec.gov .
